it's fairly obvious they made a mistake booking one night at MSG. Getting tickets to those shows was hard enough in 2016 and there were two. I expect the cheapest ticket to be $300+ on stubhub.
Zero mistake booking one night at MSG - they knew exactly what they were doing with the time constraints, venue availability etc. And shockingly there are other areas of the country that want to see the band play.
or you can come to terms and realize you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah... makes much more sense to live in the present tense...
Due to high demand for today’s sale, ticket availability is extremely limited. As you continue to shop some options may be unavailable. If you are unable to find tickets today, we recommend checking back frequently as additional tickets may become available.
Got in right away for Toronto on my phone. No waiting or purple man.
Only availability showing was side stage and rear view. Managed to snag
a nice pair of lower bowl side stage! Complete opposite experience of
my VF fan attempt where I had 2000+ people ahead of me and wasn't able
to pull anything but rear view.
Kind of makes me chuckle when people complain about getting into the waiting room before everyone else and then getting pushed back to the end of the line. First, there's no way of knowing how many people actually get into the line before/after you. Second, it doesn't matter, because your place in the queue is completely unrelated to when you get into the waiting room. Whether you jump in 15 minutes or 1 minute before the start of the sale, your odds are exactly the same.
While I agree that this process sucks, it's better than the old days when it was "whoever has the fastest computer/server wins." Scalpers invested tons of money into the fastest hardware, fucking it up for everyone. At least this new method has some modicum of fairness. As someone noted earlier, in most cases, Ticketmaster isn't to blame here if you don't get tickets. It's what happens when demand for a show FAR exceeds supply... and when a state (New York) creates a law allowing the resell of tickets despite bands' wishes.
(That said, if you've been screwed over by a Ticketmaster error message or undeserved IP ban -- both things that have happened to me in the past -- I sympathize completely.)
There could be any reason why you are filtered into any part of the queue- ticketmaster has your log-in information. I would not be surprised to know that big money conglomerates are identified in a special queue. Just what this is supposed to battle, but provides the unseen anonymity for TM of how the numbers are manipulated with no accountability.

Cool to see someone with success this morning. Congrats!

The funny thing is there probably aren’t 2000+ people currently in the system. A lot of people may have abandoned their carts without checking out so it takes, what, 5-10 minutes for the cart to expire until the seats chosen go back into availability.

I can't believe Baltimore (smallest arena on Earth) and MSG are the only two North East dates.
ha wow i didn't even notice that. One night at MSG (already a hard ticket when it's a two night run) and a tiny arena in baltimore.
Everyone in the NE will be trying for those shows.
I take back my last comment, these tickets will be $450+ cheapest on Stuhbub lol

117 and 110 are great sections. I prefer those side stage seats to a lot of places in the arena.
