    I had 2 wheelchair/handicap accessible pop up for Seattle night 2, section 342 but I wasn't sure if I would be allowed to use them.  I thought that if a show was completely sold out, then the general public could use handicap section but I checked Ticketmaster policy for "Can I buy handicapped tickets if I am not disabled" and they say no.  I wondered if I could rent a wheelchair and risk it but thought that would be poor form and let them go.

    LMAO!

    Tried to get tickets for Seattle night 1....I had no luck in doing so...
  • No I was unable to get tickets
    I waited finger on the button....got nothing. But then 30 seconds later loads of tickets showing up online at Bigstub - only $800. BOTS! piss me off. There is no way that TM isn't making money off that arrangement.  :|

    Like others, I took a peak to try and help out a friend but had no luck.  Kept coming up with the none available when requesting two seats.  

    Since there were a ton of obstructed view seats available during the TM verified sale, and not much today, did the 10C really get the best of the best?  Like a majority of the turf, lower bowl will be all fanclub tix?

    Tried my best. Didn’t work for me.

    Anyone have any advice for purchasing them off of StubHub, VividSeats, SeatGeek, etc? Buy now or wait? How to know what to trust?

    Unfortunately the band squeezes a lot of good fans out when they only perform 7 shows in all of North America ... if they toured more often or played more shows in a tour, we wouldn't have this problem.

    I recommend waiting until the 10C tickets are distributed to do anything ... a lot of tickets will become available as people try to finagle their way to better seats.

    Less than 10% right now...in one way that sucks, in another way good job 10C securing a TON of tix.

    Absolutely.  I'd encourage you to take a look at Stub Hub's models for availability for each Wrigley date. The "whited" blocks of areas in which there aren't tickets for re-sale will give you a good idea for where the the Ten Club tickets will be seated.  Beginning with the GA.  All of the middle field reserve sections behind the pit.  Lower Bowl sections down the foul lines which don't have re-sale tickets available as well as Upper Deck box seats in the first couple of rows down the line.
    As I've said before, knowing the park inside and out for 30+ years of my life, I'd have no problem being in one of the first rows in the upper deck down the lines. In fact I'd embrace it.  Great vantage point of the stage/Wrigleyville/rooftops, small beer lines, and easy in/out bathroom breaks.  And it is my understanding that the first row or two of the Upper Deck are the worst seats one can get in winning Reserved 10C seats at Wrigley.
    Not sure if you're speaking specifically about Wrigley, however if not you could use it a case study for the other venues.

    I absolutely agree with you.  The quickness with which tix go from initial onsale to secondary market at insanely hiked up prices is head-spinning.  Ticketmaster ABSOLUTELY is getting in on that game, and basically is selling tix twice, at quite the increase the 2nd time.  Criminal in my opinion, but no idea how to protest that, other than whenever bands play venues with other ticketsellers I tweet how awesome it is they didn't use TM.

    And all that said, I am that much more grateful to PJ & 10Club for the fanclub sales.  Incredibly grateful and now appreciating how NON-stressful it really was, despite the stress :D

    I tried for a friend, who was hoping to take his son to his first PJ show.  I got past the loading page to the map on the Seattle show, but there were no tickets available.  Glad the lottery worked out.

    Wait. Apparently 10C will announce where people's seats are in July. And then everyone who double dipped will off load their extras.
    That's what I'm waiting for now

    Same holds true for Fenway. Sat in Right Field Roof Box seats for a show and it was much better than I expected. Everyone wants to be up close, but you can do way worse than that.

    Nope. :( Needed a single to wrigley 1 and couldn’t get through.
