Fan-to-Fan Ticket Exchange for Dummies

Saltzy23

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.

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.

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

Hail, Hail the lucky ones, indeed (myself not one among them)!

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.

100% agree with each of those points.

Dude, MSG is like a $500, plus fees show right now as far as 'just get me in' tickets and that that is the Super Bowl of what a regular PJ arena show could ever be as far as secondary market prices.

There is no way that Baltimore would ever be more than NYC (unless there were multiple shows at MSG maybe), and certainly not 2X more.

Facebook has many more people looking to trade their MSG spare for a Baltimore spare than the other way around

Another pair for QC in section 113

Maybe because Baltimore is on a Saturday night and is less expensive to stay overnight than NYC.

It is notable though that there are no behind the stage seats for Baltimore, nor (as far as I can tell) anything equivalent to the Chase Bridge (where I've never sat) or the barstools (which I have and they suck) which is where all of the $400-$500 tickets are. I do tend to agree with you that MSG would probably be more expensive in an apples-to-apples situation though.

They should add a DC show to the second leg to help with the East coast show shortage.

This.  10000x This.    Play Capital One Arena or JLL.

I think something in Ohio or Detroit as well as the usual Philly stop would have eased the demand a bit.  Baltimore is the easiest show for everyone in Ohio, Detroit, Pennsylvania, etc.  

I think they snuck the MSG show in this spring as the Sea.Hear.Now radius clause may have blocked a NYC show in the fall

I guess the question is, how many people who have tickets to this show are actually willing to sell them? Is only being able to sell them at face value forcing people to just suck it up and go to the show rather than using them to make a profit?

If these were available on StubHub, I would not be surprised in the least to see them listing for as much as MSG. Sure, the venue doesn't have the prestige of MSG (and Baltimore isn't NYC), but Baltimore is way easier to get to and stay in than NYC from places like Boston and Manchester. Sure, there's the Canadian shows, but flying into Baltimore is still way cheaper than Toronto or Quebec. And then, it's on a Saturday? Everyone who missed out in the lottery/VF Sale/General Public sale would be buying on StubHub. There'd be a handful of seats left at astronomical prices.
