Who the hell has all day to do this?

not me lol

I like to think I make enough money where I can just over pay for tickets if i wanted too.

clearly not the case for some of these shows 

🤦‍♂️ 

I gave it one day but I’m spent after that. I can’t do this for a month. I’ll put in a good 5-10 mins here and there but that’s it. I don’t need it that badly that I need to pull away from the other activities of my life. At least that’s my story today.

Hoping we’ll have drops closer to the day or day of. I’ll be in town either way.

They’ll be more east coast shows later this year, I wouldn’t sweat it unless you have nothing else going on in your life lol

This is a fucking quest at this point, and I am not good with backing down from quests until I figure them out.

My boss came over this morning and saw me still clicking refresh on the TM screen and said 'Are you seriously still at that?  Give up already.'

I told him to fuck off, and he walked away.

You can doit! 

but how much work have you gotten done this week?

We are too far down the road to take anything for granted.

It's Katie's world and we are all just living on it.

All things considered, that was probably the single best pull anyone has landed during this entire F2F sale across every show.

I think there was Baltimore GA this morning too

She got the pair this morning. There was also a GA Balt pair in the first few hours after this whole thing started. 

I got to the final step each time. Third times the charm?!

Longueuil

There was 2 GA for Ottawa! Missed it

so how many people here have changed their mind and think having a secondary market (i.e. Stub Hub) would be better for fans?

I manage the payroll here, and tomorrow is pay day.

I made sure I got as much as I could possibly get done last Friday, over the weekend, and on Monday.

The audits and reports I usually go over with a fine tooth comb on Tuesday and Wednesday before I process were basically given a quick, 'Uh huh....mmm hmm....alrighty....ok, ok' drive by review before I signed off on them and completed the payroll.

People were paid.  Accurately?  Hopefully?  Ish? I guess?

All necessary corrections or errors will be addressed after I have secured tickets for this Baltimore show.  Have a nice day, and get the fuck out of my office.

why would it be better? the tickets are in the hands of fans that want to go and paid face value.

After losing out multiple times for Baltimore, I would much rather fork over 3 - 4x face value to StubHub than waste time hitting F5. Goes both ways though, as I am sure the fans able to secure those same seats prefer this system (as would I). There is no perfect solution.

Ease of use.  Time vs Money.

I used that for a bit but ticketmaster will then categorize you as a bot

Hard no to StubHub.

I haven't done a deep dive, but just by eyeballing the number of MSG vs. Baltimore ISO threads in the Given To Fly forum I'd say it's pretty much a tie.
