    Good luck today everyone. The morning refresh proved to be uneventful, and I gotta step away from this for a bit because of, you know, life.

    in other news, i'm flying to San Fran tomorrow morning for work and need to decide if I should pay for the wifi onboard and just F5 the whole flight. ugh.....
    Imagine being the person sitting next to you tomorrow, watching you refresh for 6 hrs.....lol.  Good luck!
    The flight attendant asked me what I was doing.  But she was asking me while I was trying to check out.  I was trying hard not to be a dick, but I was freaking out.  Then she continued the conversation for the next 10 minutes asking what other bands I like, etc.  I was just trying to refresh in peace...
    Hahaha....what about the good old days when the word refresh meant something peaceful.

    ok

    1- I thought there was a 4 tickets max. guess that's just on one purchase
    2- what's from stopping someone from selling them for scalper prices?

    10c tickets do not count towards the 4 limit.

    Nothing will ever stop scalpers. People here scalp things all the time.

    There was a pair for STL in section 102, row T (I think) around an hour ago

    Wow. That would have been a nice upgrade.
    I was the lucky recipient of those,

    What makes you say that - is it written somewhere? 
    My experience is that the supposed limits are meant to discourage high volume buying but are rarely enforced. But there's no guarantee TM won't cancel one or more of your orders.

    more worried about being turned away at the door that anything else. but dont think it will be an issue

    Yes I honestly did not see the section until after the purchase to try to save time, so when I saw 102 I was pumped

    That was me with Baltimore this weekend. Got through the process, then said, "Wait, where are we sitting?"

    so there are people here who are trying to upgrade their seats when seats become available while so many others are trying to just get into these shows?  kind of a dick move in my opinion.

    why? If I upgrade my seats, I would then drop my old seats to the F2F

    because you are unnecessarily causing extra traffic for the original tickets when they are put up.   maybe you disagree and that's fine. my opinion is my opinion.

    I have mixed feelings about it.  I dislike the extra competition at this point, but if I did get a pair of nosebleeds, I would definitely keep trying for something better.  Though, maybe not as aggressively online and refreshing as often as I am now.

    I have two singles in different rows and want my husband and me to sit together. Of course I'm going to try to upgrade.

    I have mixed feelings too, unless you are in shitty seats. If I was happy with where my tickets were I wouldn't be trying to upgrade.

    As long as you're putting the other tickets back and not hoarding tickets, I don't see what's wrong with trying to upgrade.
  • LongueuilLongueuil Posts: 2,224
    The tickets cost the same if you are in super seats or in nosebleeds. Of course people will triy to get the best they can

    This is the boat I'm in. I do feel a little bad trying to snag more tickets (to be fair, I'm only doing this for STL, not Baltimore - I'm blessed enough with getting anything to that show), but I am not going crazy about it. Figure I'll check a few times a day over the next couple of weeks.
