I'll admit, I paid $500+ in presales, I'll be pissed if there's someone in better seats that paid less. That's not right.

There will be.

Down to $98 on Vivid Seats and $134 on StubHub. At this rate, I will for sure be in better seats than Pureandeasy, at a much better price!

No need to sound so GD happy about it. Wtf?

I'm giddy. Why wouldn't I be excited about potentially getting great seats at a great price?

Where do you live? In case a great pair are sold in only 2's I was thinking we could split. I'm in Orland Park.

I bought a $750 seat and then discovered I need to be out of town for work that night. Put it up for way less than face on Lost Dogs and StubHub. Feel lucky someone bought it on StubHub but took a bath. Never bought the ticket with the intent to sell but learned the hard way its a pretty limited secondary market for the expensive seats so I feel good for the people that waited it out. After the Wrigley craziness I thought this would sell out pretty fast but clearly misread the tea leaves on this one. By far the worst part is missing Pete and Ed together for what will surely be a memorable night. I'm hoping the fact that it's all for charity makes me feel better at some point but right now I'm way more pissed about missing the show than losing some $. As a final kick in the seeds the Who canceled their show tonight in my town (Stl) so I am missing that as well.

I'm in Madison, Wisconsin. About an hour and forty five minutes away. Let me know if you see anything!

For sure, but evoking my name is like a slap in the face. We tend not to do that around here. Do you think I have no reason to be upset by this?

At least you have a ticket, right? No reason to be upset. I'm still playing my chances. Enjoy the show.

If I would have known I could probably get a $100 seat for much closer than 4 rows from the top like I snagged, I maybe would have waited lol! But really can hardly complain, I'm excited to be in the venue. A week from tonight, we will be rocking out with Ed and Pete!!!! So pumped!! I hope this week flies by!

Exactly. I tried for tickets from day 1, with no luck (the $100 tickets), and essentially wrote off the chances of going to this concert.

Same here. Tried and was denied at every sale.

PureandEasy

Yeah, you are all right, I will be there with damn good seats to see the man that has been the words and voice of my soul since I was 16. Pete is a part of who I am, and the fact Ed is doing this is icing on the cake.

I harbor no ill will. This is a dream come true for me.

See you all next week!!!

This is BS. I bought $250 seats the day the went on sale in Section 201 and now there are much better seats available now they repriced some of the $500 seats down to $250

I can definitely understand the anger about the reprice though--it's one thing if someone is selling a ticket they bought for less, but if the venue suddenly marks better seats down (and significantly), not too cool at all.

PureandEasy

Now if it's the venue that's doing it, that's total BS. If it were asshole scalpers taking a huge loss, that's one thing. But the venue, no. Not cool.

I don't understand the hate for the venue doing this. If the tickets aren't selling, then they can lower the price in order to sell them. This happens in all sorts of business: hotels, airlines, retail etc.

PureandEasy

I guess I just look at this differently, but yeah you have a point. Those businesses do.

But you're not getting first class seat at a lower price than I paid for coach airfare. You're getting a coach seat cheaper than me.

Here, You're getting a better seat at a show that I was willing to put a lot more $ for the day of the sale because I had to be at this show.

Just doesn't seem right to me.

These tickets are perishable goods. You don't have to be at this show. No one does. I understand your frustration. I was frustrated I wasn't able to buy tickets during the presale.

PureandEasy

No see that's where you're wrong, I DO need to be at this show. But that's a long story. I'm going and that's good enough for me.

Good luck to all seeking tix, see you next week.

Call TM. I think they will let you trade.

Someone is selling a pair of $100.00 tickets in the Lost Dogs forum! Here come the cheap tickets!

Yes, I too have a spare ticket to this show (section 106, row J). This was the first ticket I grabbed, then because I'm obsessive, I checked back a few days later and grabbed another closer to the stage.

This was originally a $500 ticket ($518.55 with fees), willing to part with it for $400 (or best offer, seeing that concert is a little more than a week away!). It's in the front row of section 106, and you'll have a great view/ample leg room Will only accept PayPal, I will transfer ticket once I receive payment.
