When are the major price drops going to happen? I'm still waiting on that 1 ticket for under $100.

Not sure. I was pulling the trigger on a couple in the 150 range but they were the last minute pickup option(not instant download). The expired at 1pm, I clicked submit at 1pm so I didn't get them.

I wonder what happens to those tickets? There were 6 available, now all gone.

I'm still debating about going or watching the Bulls lol. My gf doesn't really want to go on top of that. Idk what to do. Just gonna ride the wave

I saw those, too. Why would they not have the last minute pick-up at the venue and not downtown?

The last minute for this event as at the Hilton or some hotel like that about 4 blocks from the venue is what I saw

If you log in to Stubhub, you should be able to see this:

https://sell.stubhub.com/simweb/sim/services/priceanalysis?eventId=9295539

Which shows you sell prices. Volume is off the charts today. People are buying left and right.

Some guy sold a couple of 109U tix for $49 a piece which would yield him maybe $70. I guess he wanted a few cases of beer for them.

Or, more likely, he accidently left off the last "0" when lowering prices to $490/ticket and someone took advantage of it.

Just upgraded to front of balcony. Sweet. Would have been sweeter if I waited on just bought similar seats on stub hub for 60% less, but oh well.

I unloaded all of my 14 extras on Stubhub Saturday and Sunday. Took a huge loss, but glad I'm missing the latest bloodbath.

Has anyone heard anything back on the tax-deductibility of these? I had a good email dialog going with someone from Teen Cancer America who said she was working with accountants at the venue, who would be handing that and she was going to get back to me. But she stopped responding.

How/why the fuck would anyone have 14 extra tickets to a show where they cost $100-1000? Are you crazy and/or super rich?

I posted a few pages earlier. 3 extras were $1000, 6 were $750, and the rest were $500 seats. Not super rich. Perhaps a bit crazy. Going to look into minimizing my loss through either capital loss provision in tax code or charity deduction. Going to need to see what the fair market value declaration of these is from Teen Cancer America. I think I can save more from declaring these a capital loss and deducting $3000 this year and $3000 next year against wages at the marginal bracket, however.

So $10,000 on some tickets on your credit card this month. And you're not super rich? Seriously? But like did you think you had 14 friends who said they were going with you? Or like how/why did you end up buying 14 tickets for TEN GRAND.

As much as every one of us would LOVE to know how and why he ended up with all these tickets...

Im guessing its none of our damned business.

You're probably right. I retract my earlier questions. I don't know if it's wise to brag about having a spare $10,000 to spend on tickets you don't plan on using... whether it was foolish purchasing OR hoping to scalp for $20,000.... I'm not sure and I guess it doesn't matter. Just crazy to read.

Agreed.
Crazy to read.

so you are in town and not going? why the fuck not? just spend the goddamn $150 and go! you won't regret it! so you have a few fewer tacos this month! go to the damn show!

Looks like the price drop is coming. Those interested, $100 seats are at the back of Sec 110 on TM. Looks to be around 10 of them.

I live 2 miles from the venue.

Can't get off work.
Oh well

No tacos for me.

JG64307

Just grabbed them and will flip on Stubhub for $160!

Kidding. Kindof.

Yes, but it's just unused ticket stubs.

I just checked TM and the prices are still the same. Is that because I tried from my phone?

I do have a ticket and was just curious what would pop-up.
