For the Hamilton tickets they give you time to complete your order?? Not for Baltimore wtf
Because Those are vitality foundation tickets, not F2F
That’s exactly why
I get that they’re not f2f but that seems shiesty
It's because there's no real fan to fan system. All they did was used their regular resell system but fixed the price on it. The system was designed for scalper prices so tickets never move fast enough to need worry about them leaving a cart. The vitalogy tickets are using the regular system (that's usually used for platinum tickets) which has the timer.
Got it. Would still like 12 seconds to check out. Oh well back at it. Think I’ve lost feeling in three of my fingers.
Funny i think we will see a second wave of F2f when then people holding tickets see there is no trade value. Still seeing a lot people trying to trade show for show, when we know its really not possible with the new system... Same show, may have some trades GA for low sides.... or floor res for side, once you are in the building.. also week of show will see the next push.. trickle until then.. good luck all.
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.
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
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.
Saw a great pair in STL for Section A row 15......congrats to anyone who got it.
whoa. I've been at it a bit today and didn't see those. saw some 305 and some 109's at the same time...missed out on the 305's, thought I had them. I was cat like when I grabbed em.

I know I haven't been the fastest at some of these....but jeez, i'm amazed at how many people must be just glued to this. I've got a 6 second auto refresh - saw those Hamilton tickets immediately. 1 click to hit "Got it", 1 click to shut the auto refresh off and boom - they're gone. It's crazy.

I stopped using the auto refresh just to avoid having to do that extra click.
I sent an email to myself to see which connection was faster (phone or laptop). For me it was phone, so I've been using that since. The app is quicker for sure.

Ya, I guess can't afford the extra click - but it's definitely let me "see" more having the auto refresh. I'm still just astonished there are that many people paying insanely close attention to this...still.

I've primarily ben trying from my phone the last 4/5 (however many) days but the refresh on the computer is so much faster. We'll see.
what do you figure your average "refreshes per hour" is on your phone?
My best guess is 40/minute so 2,400 per hour
wow. that's on the app? back arrow - show-back arrow-show-back arrow-show? Since there are VF tix for TO and HAM - i've been using the "apply filters" rather than in/out and having to click "Got it".
I’ve done nothing but the phone. Manually refreshing the app every second. It’s going to cost me my soul. 😆
jeez, my thumb hurts just thinking about this.
It’s outrageous lol. Have to move around in multiple positions to stay comfortable. We will see what this next week brings! Carpul Tunnel or bust this week. Staying positive!!

I thought about that but does it only filter the current results or does it reload all new results?
How many hours would you say it takes a day to keep checking and score? (Not including the time commenting on here).
some serious perseverance among the Faithfull.
I'm not sure you are gonna wanna hear the answer to that.
Whereas many people here kinda joke around about OCD, I really do have a pretty decent dose of it. My mom used to say when I was a kid that once I locked down on something there was no point in even trying to get me to let it go.
I would say that since Tuesday night I spent the better part of 12 hours a day refreshing the site.
It's a cliche, but my philosophy in life has always been that if you want it more than anyone else, you will get it.
Out of the 100% of people that were originally clammering to get tickets, we are probably down to like 50% that are still actively really 'trying'.
Out of that 50% I'd bet that only a small amount have been as diligent as the people in this thread. If you keep at it as most normal people give up, the odds will start to tilt in your favor.
That was the mind game I played with myself since this thing opened, and wallah....sweet, sweet success.
Thanks. I am likely going to one show so I'm very lucky. I just know you've been on here dealing with the east coast blues like me.
I'm not sure if I have the stamina to pound refresh for 12 hours. And if I did, I'd probably be zombied out when tickets did appear I'd freeze or keep refreshing. Congrats. Good job!

Yep, back arrow (left pointer finger->Baltimore right (pointer finger) repeat, repeat, repeat

Right. It's designed to help the seller not the buyer. It's not fair to the seller for their system to lock up tickets for 10 minutes for a potential sale
