  • I’m starting to have a little more hope for Baltimore. Seems like the last few tickets have gone into fans hands from this thread. Not giving up yet. A lot can still happen between now and the show.

    I just hope there are Amtrak tickets left from NYC to Baltimore by the time I am successful.  The lowest cost Saver tickets are not refundable.  I guess I could buy a more expensive class that is refundable.  Then if I get a PJ ticket, buy a Saver fare if still available and get a refund on the more expensive ticket.   I already have my hotel booked and can cancel without a fee up to 24 hours.  Curious what others have done.   Some of you seem bigger risk takers than me.  I'd never travel to another city without the concert ticket in my hand.

    Heading down is not that hard....coming back up on Sunday is the hard part.

    Assuming you wanna come back on Sunday unless you wanna spend the extra $, you either need to head back mad early or wait until late afternoon/evening to find a train. 
    I see what you mean about going back to NYC.  I still see affordable options until 10:56 am and then again at 3:50 pm.  But it looks like I better book today while still affordable and available.  Thanks.

    I heard Amtrak is moving to fan to fan only for their tickets that weekend.

    For whatever it's worth, after 3 days using my computer I hit using the app.

    The checkout part is much faster.

    Instead of hunting and searching around the screen frantically looking for what you need to click, you just scroll down and bing, bang, boom...Buy Now, done.

    Good to know. I’ve been going back and forth between the app and computer. 
  • I wonder how many Baltimore tickets came and went without ANYONE on this forum seeing them.  I dare say none.

    You can take a Megabus for $25 Baltimore to NYC. Early afternoon less than 4 hours with WiFi included. There’s a one leaving at 3:10 PM that gets you back in NYC at around 6:30 just in time for dinner

    Yeah, I got St Louis tickets on Tuesday via the app. It seems a little more streamlined. Refreshing is more of a pain, though (unless there's a way to refresh that I haven't figured out yet - I've been clicking "back" and then on the show again).

  • I really hate the unfairness in the check out process. Just let the first to claim them get them and checkout in peace instead of losing out because of a Ticketmaster roadblock.

    My strategy (on android, not sure if the UI is different on iPhones) was to click the Baltimore listing in the TM app, back arrow, listing, back arrow, listing ,back arrow....X 500,000

    I honestly thought I had these before I even saw the confirmation.

    I had practiced all the way to the final click with the OKC show, and honestly, there is a point where  your muscle memory makes it virtually impossible to go any faster.

    I am now a SME on the TM F2F marketplace.  Grand.  Time to update the ol' resume I guess.

    This is what I have been doing! Hoping it pans out eventually! Or I’ll lose my mind first. One or the other 😂

    I booked this entire thing when Dimi leaked the dates in December.

    $130 for a hotel across the street, $110 total roundtrip Amtrak at perfect times.

    I am going out and smoking a fucking cigar.
