    well, I think that was the bulk of the F2F.  Will be a random dribble of tix until couple days before show IMO.
    For east coast, maybe.  Oakland and LA have pretty much frozen the tickets.  Me and others have had tickets sitting waiting to go from listing to them posting them.  Over 3 hours for me and others.  
    Update.  5 hours now.  Probably gonna drop overnight.  Good luck all.

    Explain  "Bots" seems like a buzz word...I get it they buy up tix in most cases....but there is no resale here so what good do the "bots" do? I also hear they are selling there accounts...really? where? and how much... I'm in
    As someone who works in IT/software development I personally don’t think bots are the issue. The issue is that Ticketmaster’s fan-to-fan platform is crazy buggy (i.e countdown clock not showing up on the checkout page.) It clearly wasn’t tested adequately before being deployed.

    yup....except fair market price...yea, no $500 a tic for MSG behind stage almost last row is expensive as fuck!
    But...that is what the market says it should be.  It's not like it's personal.

    It's where the market for people wanting to see Pearl Jam play at MSG are willing to pay has settled.

    Is this communist, government controlled distribution of goods and services bullshit really better?


    it will come down in price I'm sure. but no... the same tickets have been there,  stagnating. Because it is over priced. since NY is the only market on the east coast that allows transfers it is just ridiculous.If you want 2 in GA at MSG its $5000 a pair!!! that is including a almost $500 "service fee" per ticket from stub hub!! The fact that NY and CO are  the only States that allow transfers are making the prices that much more.

    Now I can sell, however when I get to the payment part it won't allow me to submit my listing. This is glitchy as fuck and so annoying. Going to bed. Fuck Ticketmaster!!

    The demand for Denver seems low on Stubhub, more than twice the number of tickets available than MSG and cheapest ticket is just a little above face.

    You know how I can know bots are winning? Saw 1 seat nosebleed behind the corner of the stage Mike's side. It was gone in a blink. What person settles for that at this point? I'd 1000000% wait til day of show and take my chances here or on the street before paying for that. It was a single seat.  A bot sees any ticket and bam.

    The average sold price on StubHub for MSG has been $785, before fees.

    There have been a total of 4 tickets that sold for less than $200.

    I assure you, nothing is stagnating and the prices are not gonna fall.

    Makes no sense to me.  A scalper is gonna go to all that trouble to for an upper level ticket?  Who knows?  This system and the new TM pitfalls suck though.

    yes there were 5 that popped up behind the stage for Oakland 1, 3 bought right away and it was all the middle leaving the two singles on either side... then the singles were bought one by one... no logic in it...

    Also more people on the boards have gotten through to Sirius than have landed tickets. Think of all the lines calling in one circuit at Sirius and to even get through is hard. I bet way less people hawking their show and refreshing their page and what not. To not even have more than 2 people get tickets is a sign that bots are way faster and win while people against people calling a hotline is a total crapshoot.

    I hate to be that guy (as I refresh Baltimore a hundred times after getting declined from 10C, Verified Fan, and public sale) and I'm sure it's been discussed a million times, but why not play the carrier dome or similar?

    Out of curiosity I checked some of the sketchy websites selling tickets via selling the whole TM ticket account and only saw the same pair across multiple platforms for Balt. So maybe we are losing out to other fans, not bots, which would be great.

    ok... but if I'm not mistaken that's a market  that allows transfers.
