I wouldn’t buy those Vancouver back of the back lowers at regular price, let alone premium. Who do they think is going to buy those?Zod said:RatherStarved said:Take a look at Vancouver.
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 definitely have AI geeks straight out of college working on pricing strategyRatherStarved said:Funnily enough some of the 3X premiums for Vancouver 1 are now 2X. Still that’s at least 1X too high but they do eventually get the message of what people will and won’t buy. Maybe it’s all automated like airline pricing.
You know it’s out of control when they are advertising putting it on layaway! schaefferlax said:They definitely have AI geeks straight out of college working on pricing strategyRatherStarved said:Funnily enough some of the 3X premiums for Vancouver 1 are now 2X.

What a disgrace- on the other hand - I intentionally didn’t enter the draw for that show - will be interesting to see when there’s a standard drop - hopefully I’ll be online at the time or someone will ping me! I think it will be like MSP was.Zod said:schaefferlax said:They definitely have AI geeks straight out of college working on pricing strategyRatherStarved said:Funnily enough some of the 3X premiums for Vancouver 1 are now 2X.

All it takes is one person to buy a premium ticket for the prices to stay.verceman said:I'm really surprised there are still any tickets available for NY and Philly at all at this point. I thought the Ticketmaster algorithm was much more sophisticated, and that dynamic pricing would be much more real time, getting the prices adjusted to whatever the market rate was to sell out.
It’s a waiting game. With 6 months to go they aren’t in a rush to cut prices. They know they can sell those seats at any time at the right price. They’re not in a rush and they prey upon our need for certainty.verceman said:I'm really surprised there are still any tickets available for NY and Philly at all at this point.

Yeah fair point, and maybe one of these songs from the new album becomes a hit between now and then, and the ticket demand spikesRatherStarved said:It’s a waiting game.

Well I don’t think the new music will move the needle on demand no matter what it sounds like. Either good or bad.verceman said:Yeah fair point, and maybe one of these songs from the new album becomes a hit between now and then, and the ticket demand spikesRatherStarved said:It’s a waiting game.

This is my one major problem. Those seats should be $90. I think that would have solved so many issues with the pricing.RatherStarved said:I wouldn’t buy those Vancouver back of the back lowers at regular price, let alone premium.

Vancouver standard price is $208 Canadian. I don’t think they have to slash the price of the rear lowers to $90. They’d probably sell at $150-175 and maybe even the full $208, though I wouldn’t buy that. However in no world (maybe other than MSG and Philly) should those seats be premium.smak said:This is my one major problem. Those seats should be $90.
