Surprised there has been so little SD talk.  Those tickets seem rarer than Baltimore.  I suppose the demand much lower as well, but the supply is minimal.

Just posted two floor seats for TO.  Told a couple of members  about it.  We were watching.  Not even a glimpse before I get the email that they are sold.  They never posted up on the screen for any of us.  Completely dubious to me.
You try and play by the rules.  Anybody sees left side floors row 18 seats five and six, I'd like to hear about it.

I saw them for few mins at least, see above.

I saw them too for a minute to 2 mins 

Just curious why someone would watch for tickets and not try to buy them?

My thoughts exactly .  Why would you spend five seconds watching a show you wouldn't want to buy too....

I can identify.  I'm looking at shows I would not necessarily go to.  I'm in NY.  I will go to most seats in Baltimore.  But to make a trip to CO, AZ or CA, it has to be some of the best seats in the house.  So I am looking at some cities I will most likely not go.  I don't think my pickiness makes me any less of a PJ fan.  I'm that way with every show I go to.

I am pretty sure this has all been very good for my hand eye coordination, and has exercised parts of my brain that have been dormant.  I am ready for professional Esports.

Same here. I noticed it was slow yesterday but today it’s worse.  Sometimes it doesn’t refresh just gets stuck on the spinning circle and then gets stuck on a blank white screen

Maybe restart your phones to refresh everything. I do this to my phone every couple of days, the TM app is working pretty good on mine. Of course I still can't get any Nashville tickets. lol

I’m not a big poster here, but figured I’d share a few tips for those of you still looking for Baltimore to try to help out some fellow fans (or as my wife refers to us, “total nutcases”):
1. If you’re using a computer (as opposed to the mobile app), I’d suggest using Chrome since it’s faster than most other browsers. 

2. If you’ve developed carpal tunnel syndrome from refreshing nonstop for the past 7 days straight (like I have), try using Super Auto Refresh Plus to give your fingers a much needed break. 

3. The mobile app may be slightly faster than a computer since there are less captchas, it’s more streamlined, and you don’t have to go looking for the various buttons. However, the downside is that you can’t use an auto refresh program. I’d recommend trying both and seeing what you prefer. 

4. Do a few practice runs on another show with tickets available to make sure you’re able to get through the checkout screens as quickly as possible. Because so many of us crazy people are trying for this (and yes, if you’re reading this thread you qualify as a “crazy person”), you don’t have any time to stop and think or search for the various prompts (e.g. where the “confirm” button is located, where the “decline insurance” button is located) and instead just need to click through as fast as humanly possible without thinking. When I finally succeeded, it probably took me somewhere between 5-10 seconds to get through the various screens. 

5. THE MOST IMPORTANT TIP (this is how I ultimately scored the ticket)- Once “Got It” appears and you enter the screen where you can see tickets available, if you click on the tickets and get the dreaded “sorry, another fan beat you to these tickets” message, DO NOT exit the screen, click the back button, or hit refresh. Instead, stay on the screen and then (a) keep clicking on the available ticket over and over again until it disappears and the screen says “no tickets are available,” and if that happens, then (b) stay on that screen for at least a few more minutes and keep changing the ticket quantity back and forth (e.g, from 2 to 1). The reason I recommend this is because assuming you lose out on the first ticket, if a new ticket appears while you’re still on the page you will skip the “Got It” prompt, which is exactly what happened to me. That precious second or two can make all the difference. I got all the way to the confirmation screen for the seat in row L, put in my CVV, and then got an error message when I hit submit on the final screen (@eddievedderspants must have beaten me to it- well done! and congrats btw!!!), and got booted back to the ticket selection screen. But then instead of hitting the back button or pressing refresh, I then stayed on that screen and kept clicking on the row L ticket  (getting the “sorry another fan beat you to it” message over and over again), and after a couple of seconds the row L ticket disappeared and the row M ticket appeared and I was able to snag it immediately. If I had had to go back and go through the “Got It” prompt first instead, I probably would not have gotten it. 

6. Stay positive, positive. But seriously, yes this process is incredibly arduous, but there’s hope. So try as best you can to not get too discouraged. We’re still a whole month away from the show and a lot of people will be putting up tickets for sale between now and then, especially during the week or two before the show. Remember, about 14,000 people are attending this show. At least several hundred of them, if not more, are bound to have things come up between now and the date of the show. So I anticipate that the supply of tickets on F2F will greatly increase over the coming weeks. In addition, it’s a good sign that a month away from the show, we’re already seeing as many drops as we are. It looks like there’s already been 4 or 5 today alone. And it also sounds like the vast majority of drops are ending up in the hands of people on this thread, which is a great sign. 

So in sum, persistence and patience will pay off in the end. This F2F madness may be extremely tedious and painful, but when this is all over, the damage to our hands and our minds is nothing that can’t be repaired through years of intensive physical and/or emotional therapy. On a more serious note, I really, really hope that everyone on this thread is ultimately able to get tickets to the show, and hope to see everyone there! Nothing would make me happier than knowing that as many tickets as possible ended up in the hands of true fans, as opposed to scalpers and bots, and I’m hopeful that that’s what will happen by showtime. Stay positive everyone and best of luck!!!

So either my job caught on and blocked the site or TM has blocked me for using auto refresh.

I'm a longtime die-hard who's looking to keep my MSG streak alive. I caught them there in '03 (made it on the Garden DVD!), '08, '10, and '16. I'm looking for just one ticket for myself for the 3/30 show. Please DM if you can help. Thanks, Peace and Love.

Nice tips Steve!
