Like many of you I will be doing my best to score some MSG Tix through 10c.I've hade some shitty luck lately and I think it will tough. If this doesn't pan out how much does a place like stub hub raise a ticket that lets say goes for about $80. Is there a ceiling on what they can charge?

    nope
    expect seats down front to go for at least $400-500

    Sky's the limit dude...the open market system at its best - they are fucking parasites - do your research and know the market. I used Stubhub for the EV tour...I was probably a little quick to buy my tickets after missing out on the public on sale date and paid a hefty premium, prices have settled down now...sometimes it pays to wait a little. If there are a ton of tickets available, the closer it gets to the day of the show, the more pressure on the seller to move them - that said, if you wait too long, they'll try to capitalize on the "last minute market". Good luck.

    Good advice, If I dont get 10c tix I will wait cause there are so many brokers someone is gonna have seats couple of weeks before show. They try to prey on peoples emotions early after getting shut out everywhere elso so they profit like bastards
