    Stubhub has been interesting to follow the last month or so.
    Prices never dropped.
    Tickets slowly but surely disappeared.
    And anything in the lower bowl? Just insane the prices people are asking.
    Take me piece by piece.....

    At this point, yeah, probably. With secondary markets like Stub Hubs it's all about striking at the right time and being patient. I was watching Stub Hub like a hawk the moment that I got shut out for tickets, and I waited up until last week when I saw a pair for $110 each and snagged em'. It's all just luck and patience.

    Uh... StubHub? Clearly you're watching the wrong site. There are throngs of great people helping each other out here for face value. I know this for a fact :)

    I am so happy, I actually got 10 club tickets and tickets through Ticketmaster... Keep on checking ticketmaster multiple times a day, sometimes more tickets get released on the days leading up to the show. Good Luck!

    lol... Well keep on checking, a few years back the night before a sold out Kings of Leon show, I scored two GA pit tickets... Persistence, with a little bit of luck, pays off sometimes. :D

    I paid $310 for a pair in the upper deck on ebay. That was cheapest I could find.

    I can speak to this as well as I was able to grab tickets to night 1 on the board. However, that was also dumb luck, and I would suggest anyone trying to grab tickets to not put all their eggs in a single basket.

    To the OP, I've read that behind the stage seats aren't that bad. You get your own dedicated set of speakers, you see what the band sees as well as the vid screens, and they turn around for you at some point.
    10/31/93 Berkeley (Baba!), 10/1/94 Bridge School, 9/16/96 Seattle (In My Tree!), 10/19/96 & 10/20/96 B. School (Alt Corduroy & Alt Porch!), 10/25/03 B. School, 6/1/03 Mtnview (Crazy Mary! You Are!), 11/29/13 Portland (All Those Yesterdays! Even Flow!), 10/25/14 Bridge School (Rain! Fuckin Up! TOTD!), 5/13/22 Oakland (W.M.A.! Immortality!)

    man, i dont mean to scare anyone or anything, but id be real wary of buying tickets off of ebay. i hope you did you homework. good luck
    it's largely due to eddie that i liked to jump off of things as a child...

    Now they are up to 225!! it's really insane. I was hoping prices would drop so I could snag one last minute, but I should probably draw the line somewhere (especially when I'm seeing them 3x already) ... :?
