I was hoping to not have to get my tickets thru them but tickets for MSG seem to be scarce. What everyones opinion on this? Or if anyone has extra MSG tickets please think of me.

    I would wait till the day before or even day of the show for stub hub. The majority of stub-hub tickets are e-mailed to you electronically so there is no need to worry about receiving them on time. Keep checking TM each morning as the shows approach for ticket drops. Avoid scalpers as fake tickets can be very hard to spot until they are scanned by event staff.

    You're going to have to be actively looking at the boards, in the last two weeks I've been able to score MSG 1 and Toronto 2 for face from some awesome 10c members. I'm not sure if posting an ISO and then hoping for someone to PM you is going to work for everyone.

    The time is not yet right for stubhub. I'm holding on. For now.

    And yes, I'm on the board several times a day, hoping to stumble upon tickets for MSG1, but I'm looking for a pair and they currently seem as rare as a snowball in hell, packed with hen's teeth, in the bowl of the Grail.

    I believe Abraham Lincoln once said, wait until the day of the show for the ticket DROP.

    Or was that Mike D that said it?

    Either way, line up the day of the show and see if they release some tickets to the public.

    And the #1 rule?

    Don't "demand" a specific section or area. Be happy with what you get. You're in the building and someone else isn't. I know that's easier said than done, but it holds true. Someone else would really love that rafter seat, so be happy you have it...especially for MSG.

  • I've seen some on stubhub for right around face, maybe $10 over. They were side stage second level. They are no longer there, but do pop up on there.
  • Available tickets tickets on stubhub have been rising. Everything is pricey these days so if you see seats within your range...grab them

    Not to mention once they are in hand, nice weight off your shoulders

  • Face value with fees is $104. I've seen quite a few seats at $115 on stub. With fees your at $140. Really not bad to be $40 over face to be in the building and have peace of mind

    I bought my MSG 2 off StubHub right after the first ticket drop. 15 rows back, side stage. $30 over face. If there's another drop and you miss it, go straight to StubHub. At least a few decent deals will pop up.

    Plus friends don't usually cancel on their other friends until a few days before the show. That's where true fans try to sell their tickets at face because their friend got sick or couldn't get off, etc...

    I know this is different circumstances but I read somewhere that 2013's tickets never came down in price. I hope its different for those that are still looking this time but if a good deal comes up I would snatch it now in a heart beat.
