    Hamilton just had a couple seats available and taken. Quebec City seems to have a bunch of available seats. Ottawa has some behind the stage.

    Has anyone have any experiences with seats behind the stage? Does it make the experience any worse?

    I assume that you gotta click GOT IT each time you refresh. Do you just ignore until you saw the tickets, click the got it and fire as quick as you can?

    yeah, then I make the decision once in my cart if I want them. Then you need to click next twice for some reason for the delivery method. I select the decline insurance checkbox while waiting for the payment method to load, then put in my CVV (which I usually just paste in instead of typing)

    I’ve only been dabbling in the F2F mayhem and this thread (so apologies if someone has beaten me to this), but I have a hot take: at least for the purpose of these resales, the system where the tickets aren’t yours until you successfully clear payment is better than the traditional cart/timer system. 

    The way it’s working now, if you don’t nab the tickets cleanly on your first pass through (wherever in the process you get the “sorry” message) you know you’re done. Once the tickets drop, if they’re not yours in like 30 seconds you can move on with your life, go make a sandwich or take a poop or whatever. In old school TM sales, you never know if tickets are sitting in someone’s cart who has decided not to buy them, and you have to keep clicking away for several agonizing minutes before you can give up. The way this seems to be going, this is actually causing less pain and taking up less time than if you had to spend 10 minutes futilely fighting every time there’s a drop.

  • Is it safe to say that the Baltimore show is the hardest ticket to get in quite some time? I'm talking normal shows, not exclusive one-offs like the Apollo theater gig.

    The Vic was pretty hard. So was Borgata. But yeah over the past decade I don’t remember such a tough ticket. Which is a GOOD thing.

    I'm starting to think it's possible that the crowd at this show will be even more hyped than the Garden.

    A friend of mine from college has ALS (it's fucking awful, the guy is 40 years old and slowly dying), and is friends with Steve Gleason, and told me that if I ever really needed anything PJ related he would reach out to him for me and ask, but I just cannot get myself to do it.

    I'm not asking 2 guys with the worst disease I can imagine to please try and get me into a stupid rock concert.

    Watch the show be a letdown. That would be something.

     Being from Jersey, only having 2 east coast shows on this leg  is a huge reason these tix are in such high demand.

    Of course. The Baltimore show seems to be a perfect storm of reasons why the ticket would be so tough: Saturday night show in a tiny arena that's one of only 2 US East Coast appearances.

    It's 'artificially' tough though.

    The Apollo and Borgata are/were impossible because the venues were so small.

    This is impossible because you can't buy any of the 14,000 seats anywhere, or even transfer them to someone else.

    If there was a StubHub listing for this show it would what, probably a $250-$300 ticket just to get in roughly?

    Expensive and hard to get no doubt, but it's this overall system that is making getting in impossible, not really the show itself.

    It's also a smaller venue

    I'd pay $300 for that show without blinking. I bet a stubhub ticket would start at $1000 without hte bat of an eye.
