Looks like the scalpers win

Even my connections have nothing.
Looks like its off to stubhub for a ticket. Luckily the prices are not too insane.
Good luck everyone.

I missed the boat with tickets. Had no idea I'd be in NYC by the time the show had sold out. Lucrative game for these resellers.
Too bad the band aren't as progressive against this sort of stuff as they used to be.Adelaide '03, '06 x2, '09 and EV Solo x2 '11. New York '16 MSG2.0 -

what more do you think they could do?
keep in mind they could pull a Bruce et al and charge $200+ a ticket....the 2nd market sales will always win out

It is what it is. I am sure the band does what it can.
It is ticketmaster. They dont sell face value tickets to the public anymore.0 -

Some ticket vendors in Australia only allow entry with original ID and credit card instead of having a hard ticket.andrew68 said:fompsweeva said:I missed the boat with tickets. Had no idea I'd be in NYC by the time the show had sold out. Lucrative game for these resellers.

I learned my lesson when a few years back, i had an extra ticket to see the Allman Brothers at the Beacon on a night when Clapton was sitting in (everyone knew it in advance). I sold my extra at the show to someone who looked like a fan (face price). The guy who showed up to sit next to me bought it outside for $500 from the "fan"GM151575 said:My uncle had shit tickets I had an extra of my good pair, so he sold his on stub hub at 185 just go get rid of it last night.

No - he made closer to $400. This was 2009 and tickets for that run were around $100 or so, if that. Highest face price for ABB at the Beacon was for the last shows in 2014 ($250).GM151575 said:

185 total or per ticket? Because if it's per ticket, it's not a good deed at all. Just scalping straight up. I don't mind if you do it, just call it what it is.GM151575 said:My uncle had shit tickets I had an extra of my good pair, so he sold his on stub hub at 185 just go get rid of it last night.

It is what it is. I found a good seat for $260, which is about what it costs to see a shitty broadway play or have dinner at a fancy restaurant in NYC. Well worth it for 3 hours of live pearl jam!0

What's this an audit. He sold his one extra for 185.deweil said:

Not an audit. At all. I dont judge or care what your uncle does. I was simply pointing out that what he did was sell the ticket for a profit. That's no different than the scalper you called a savage. His profit was smaller, perhaps, although 185 to 260, minus fees if applicable, isn't really much profit either. This forum is full of people with tickets who sell them to fans for face value because those are the rules and for some because they believe that's the right thing to do. Im not here to say what's right but only that your uncle's deed was no better or worse than that savage, in my opinion. Now, had he sold it for face and then the person flipped it, id understand your post a bit more.GM151575 said:

Sold it with the intent of getting it to a real fan for $100 less than the going rate. Somebody buying it just to sell it is different. Yes he made some money and that's scalping but thems the breaks. I'm selling him the one with me for face if that makes you feel warm and cozy.deweil said:
