Hope you find your tix. Just saw them tonight. Great show!
Thank you! Not looking good. Stubhub is out of control. Even last night at 8:45 tickets were still over $250 each!!! It seems scalpers would rather lose money on those tickets than let fans have them at a good price.

Going to Columbia... the plan is to get a ticket from a scalper a little after show starts to get a good price
Also, good luck

If you can't get tix before hand and the garden isn't too far a trip, hang outside. The closer to showtime the cheaper the price. My friend's been doing this for years and he's gotten seats on the cheap. Good luck and hope to see you there. Sec 115

Ive done this but I refuse to buy from scalpers outside. Most are fake outside I'll try my best!! Hope to see you there!
Well, hope you lucked out. Show was great, but short.
No. Refused to pay over $300 for a 16 song set. Nothing against RHCP. Ive seen them before and I know what to expect. My anger with the secondary market is growing more and more everyday. Face value seats were popping up through out the day and before I even had a chance to click them, they were gone. Fair game if another FAN got to them quicker. BUT, in EVERY case that same ticket ended up in TM resale. Absolutely ridiculous. I watched it happen ALL day. Same thing happen on Wednesday. Got an email about seats being released for the show. All the sections released had ZERO seats for resale for months. After that email, all the previously empty sections had tons of resale seats. Some sections even had FULL ROWS available, even though there is a 2 ticket limit. Sorry for the rant. It's just getting blatantly ridiculous.
PS. I really have no beef with people selling a ticket and making profit. But when it looks as if TM are actually the main "resellers" on their site it's infuriating. High fees on the initial purchase , then MORE fees on top of an insanely inflated resale price!? They are making more than the artist that's filling the place up.
No problem with the rant. The scalping is over the top and politicians don't help to protect the average consumer. I was able to get my tix during the RHCP fan base presale. Cost nothing to join and had shots at all 3 shows. For concerts at the larger venues, I try to sign up for fan club or other presale offers. On another note, though I don't know if you like their music, go see Tedeschi-Trucks Band. They'll be playing the Beacon and other venues around the city this year. One of the best shows I saw last year.

The RHCP presale was even a little nutty. Free fan club means scalpers have early access. I was shut out on two tickets together so I got two singles for my girlfriend and I, by some miricle her seat is right in front of mine.. but still, it shouldn't be that hard for fans to get tickets at face value. It's impossible to attend shows in groups of 3 or more now. Even in pairs it's brutal. I attended temple of the dog solo in Seattle because there was zero chance at getting a pair.

The world and this country have bigger issues than our 1st world problems. That's why no politician is going to do anything about it. I think the artists and their teams are the ones that need to actually do something about it, no one else will do it for them. Instead, artists just say a couple of lines about scalpers at a show to make the crownd roar and assume that's sufficient. It's kinda hard to go above and beyond for this matter when you're getting your piece of the pie. I really can't wrap my head around the fact that TM has its own secondary market.
