    Man...that Quebec availability is heartbreaking. Should've been Montreal.

    That show is going to sell out just like it did in 2016.

    Or literally anywhere in the northeast.
    Quebec City IS northeast. Closer than Baltimore for a lot of the NE people. So are Ottawa and Hamilton.

    Oh, I just got a text that I'm off the waiting list for my 4th show. Now 4 for 4, I didn't expect that so soon.

    How’d you figure that out, typing that crazy syntax stuff into it?
    I'm like an opening band for your mom.

    Joined the waiting room for Nashville 14 minutes before the sale, literally the second it opened, when the queue finally opened I had 2000+ in front of me, so I guess it is randomized where you get put in line

    All these folks stating they'll add a second NYC date now that the band has seen the insane demand that they definitely already knew existed in the first place...I have some bad news for you.

    Only 900 in front now for Nashville.  Ha.  I don't like my chances at anything except nosebleeds.

    Can anyone give me their thoughts on how this went for me?  I was in the waiting room for Baltimore right when it opened.  When the sale started I had roughly 3800 people in front of me.  I finally broke through around 10:25 and saw 5-6 pairs in the upper rows of the 300 sections.  Every once in a while a good pair would pop up but when I chose them they were already spoken for.  Is all of this pretty normal?

    I don't see many shows and I usually get my seats through the Ten Club.  I'm not complaining, just looking to learn from my mistakes.

    I have even worse news: getting tickets for two-show stands at MSG is not appreciably different from what we saw today. So even if your wildest dreams come true (they won't) it's not like it would get any easier.

    Anyone who got msg tickets from the Presale not behind the stage?  Seems like all the Presale tickets were behind the stage.
    I feel very fortunate to have grabbed a single on the side, Section 213. 
    Congrats!

    Quebec City IS northeast. Closer than Baltimore for a lot of the NE people. So are Ottawa and Hamilton.

    If you're north of Boston, the drive is shorter (and probably more enjoyable/scenic). Flying to Baltimore from Manchester or Boston is way cheaper/easier, though.

    That's how things played out in this sale. In every previous Ticketmaster (or other company) sale I've ever been in, you could just click "best available" and automatically get a pair of tickets in your cart.

    That show is going to sell out just like it did in 2016. 
    Makes me wonder if Montreal will be Osheaga announcement next week. Or just in the fall.
