    Cheapest VIP for MetLife was about $490 a ticket, and it came up in section 1 on the floor. You also didn't need a code to purchase VIP tickets.

    I signed up for the Nightrain membership at 10:20am and kept trying until 11:30. Was about to stop when I landed sec 114 row 6 with the TM app, A bit pricey but after trying for so long I bit the bullet. Still a lot les than the cheapest VIP.

    That's lame about the VIP, because I pulled non-VIP section 1 tix, like row 13. Maybe VIP was the first few rows but still! I assumed they would have put VIP in the center sections.

    The funniest VIP level to me is the one where you could get GA tix to the risers by the soundboard. Towards the back of the floor. I think it was $625 for MetLife stadium. Why would I want to pay that amount of money to be in the back? Makes no sense.

    I think i blew 45 bucks.... at first all I got was we can't process your order, one browser stuck searching while another browser started to pull up crappy tickets.. ugh

    Yeah, I was kind of surprised to see VIP that far over. I forget what row it was, as soon as I saw the price I released them and went to sign up for the fan club.

    I was feeling the same way, thought I just wasted $45 and was just about to stop to head out for the day. Tried one last time and hit the jackpot, I guess I just got lucky. Sort of makes up for going 0 for 10 during the Pearl Jam lottery. Lol.

    I ended up getting section 108 row Q. Still were full priced at 250 plus service charges. Looking at the seating map those tickets are better than a fair chunk of the centurylink field. Not as good as I hoped... but sometimes I forget how much harder it is to get tickets for Seattle shows compared to Vancouver shows.

    edit: I'll probably try the regular onsale friday. If I score better tickets I'll try and sell these ones. At least I'm in the door with ok tickets.

    Anyone else feel like the fan club sale today went extremely well? I was able to log in, view a few different ticket locations before i was satisfied and check out with ease. Wish Ten Club had been like this back in the day of F5-ing all day! ;)

    It was good, except that the prices are rabidly expensive. Not many people will be buying tickets to multiple shows. Also I'd have to imagine the scalpers didn't scoop up as many as they would have for Pearl Jam. How much margin really is there to tickets that are already so expensive?!? This would have gone very differently if these were $90 tix we were talking about.

    Picked up 2 Nashville on the presale. Right at midfield upper deck 2nd row on the aisle for around 159.00 total. I'll take that. Awesome view from there. And yes, the presale went flawless. Awesome job by the peeps that run their fanclub!

    Exactly. Use experts who know how to run a sale and price services to market prices creates sanity. Interesting concept. Adam Smith should have thought of that.

    I signed up for the fan club awhile back to make sure I got tickets. Got thru no problems this morning. Wanted to get the GA pit on Slash's side until I saw the price. WAY more than the posted 250. Ended up row 2 on the side of stadium. I'll take it, never got to see them when I was a kid during the UYI tour.

    Gilmour in Chicago next week and GNR in July. Definitely 2 bucket list shows this summer. CAN'T WAIT. Most excited I've been for shows that don't involve Gaslight Anthem for a long long time.

    How much were the pit tickets?

    Bought a fan club membership Thursday night on a whim hoping we'd have some access to Troubadour tix since I was not going to camp out at Tower. No luck with that but thankfully the membership's already paid for itself.
    Passed along the code to a friend who snagged a pair for San Diego.

    I struggled for the first 10 minutes getting errors when searching for tickets. Then I had two browsers stuck waiting, and a 3rd had no problem but pull up crappy tickets 4 times in a row. I got the ok tickets about 40 mins in.

    I read after in a gnr forum that people had way better luck on mobile devices. I always forget about that option. I prefer to do it on the PC but mobile devices seem to have a leg up these days.

    Looks like demand is high which is good. Really hoping they add a 2nd Chicago show. Wifes cousin is getting married July 1. Based on their tour schedule, Chi july 1 then Cin july 6, plenty of opportunity for a july 3 show in chi. They also have larger gaps after Bos and Ny. Thinking the chance of 2nd show in those markets is high. One can hope!

    I guess it's 4/6ths, but they were already down those 2 guys during the UYI tours too... so basically its the UYI lineup with different subs.

    Technically, PJ doesn't have its original line up either. Not sure why people who hate something are so worried about it.

    Wouldn't count on it. There's a fairly consistent weekend show/mid week show pattern. NJ (there is no NY show) is a Saturday night. I don't think they're doing back to back nights and seems unlikely the added show would be a Monday or whatever.

    Would be Sun July 3rd more than likely for 2nd Chi show. Yes, no b2b nights all tour. Original rumor was 2 Chicago shows. We shall see, hoping so as that will be my only chance to see em.

    I suppose but they could of made millions any time in the past 10 to 15 years. Had they gotten back together 10 or 15 years ago they'd be way further ahead, so you kind of figured it was going to be one of those things that wasn't going to happen.

    I actually don't hate GNR. I saw them in like 91/92 in Worcester and loved the show. I wasn't knocking them as much as being grateful for Pearl Jam.
