    I know the Capitalist Way is to "squeeze out every penny", but I can't imagine 6 months of interest on the cost of a pair of concert tickets is much to these companies. They probably make more in processing fees on the sales.

    It's not the cost of a pair of concert tickets. It's the cost of every resale ticket across thousands of events. Billions of dollars probably? 6 months of interest isn't peanuts on that kind of money

    Are we sure there won't be a delay between when the seller submits them and they show up on the exchange?
    It usually takes about 5-10 minutes to show up on the site after submitting them.

    It's the former now. I believe stubhub is still doing the latter 
    Yes, Stub Hub is still payment after the event. They say it gives the buyer protection in case there is an issue.
    Yes they do and what a load of BS that is as they take a seller’s credit card to finance any buyer issues.  

    That being said SH recently helped me sell something that I wanted to get rid of and I don’t mind the delay in that particular case.

    Was F2F face value even an option last year for the United Center shows in Chicago and/or the MSG show from 2022?

    This may have already been discussed but do we think we will be losing out on the taxes every fan to fan sale?

    If I’m not mistaken that was the issue they corrected last year where initial listings posted and sold without the tax and the seller saw a credit posted on the statement for the difference.

    Good to see the practice of dropping full rows of premiums is alive and well at Baltimore. SMDH

    Philly as well. Wondering, could they have not read the market right with these prices, and tickets still being available at this point? Calling a lot of these seats "Premium" is a bit of a stretch.

    Yah, I think it's rather optomistic that they'll sell all those seats. They're mostly back of the lower bowl seats asking for pretty high prices.  I suppose it's a positive 10c members got a lot of the closer tickets, but those seats aren't great at the back. Plus it looks like they put them all for sale at the same time.   Usually the secret with platinum is to trickle them out to create the illusion of scarcity.  Not sure what they're doing with the vancouver tix.

    They show the platinum tickets and then take groups of them away as if they are being sold. It creates a bit of panic and some people cave on the prices. They do the same thing with standard tickets for shows that aren’t selling well.

    A few additional rows in the sections closest to the stage have appeared for MSG as well.

    2 months until the tour opener date. You would think it will become available fairly soon.
