I almost skipped Fenway N2 in 2018 and it turned out to be their last show for three years. 

I sold my tickets to see Chris Cornell in 2015 because it was a Wednesday and there would be other chances. (There weren't.)

Skipped REM in 2008 after Accelerate for the same reasons....next tour I'll see em....although with Chris, that one is tough :(

I skipped seeing REM in 1999… my buddy and I had tickets and we just blew it off thinking we’d see them down the road.  Never got around to seeing them. 

o yeah - the having tickets part is rough

Is anyone on the fence/was on the fence on this one w/ Covid? Fully vaccinated here, but this is still a few months off, and with folks packed in based on those pics, etc. I'm thinking I'm going to regret not going (if I get a resale ticket)....

There are 2 VIP passes available on the ticketmaster site right now for $889, plus fees.

Basically $1k per after fees.

It's a lot of coin, but it's the best I've seen for any VIP passes so far by a lot.

I have tickets and I’m fully vaccinated but it still gives me pause.  I’m hoping by September I’ll be more comfortable with a bunch of sweaty people breathing down my neck.  😬

I hear you.  I’m considering breaking in the PJ masks I bought last summer.

Someone bought them.  It was tempting, I’m not going to lie.

I hemmed and hawed and eventually bought one in case my GF wants to go.

If she doesn't, I'll post the ticket is available in this thread.

1 GA+ for $445 is up.

So my buddy and his girlfriend were a couple payments into their layaway tickets last year before it got canceled. Idk if they waited to long or what but they couldn’t get a refund.  His girlfriend knows the Asbury mayor and brought it up to him. Heard this from him today:

Could that really possible? Seems extremely unlikely for a whole festival to be planned, tickets sold, and acts signed without having the go ahead of the city.

I’m confused.   The first issue you mentioned was that someone couldn’t get a refund, but then the message you posted complains about people not getting tickets.  🤷🏻‍♂️

It is not possible.

First it was postponed not cancelled. Second yes they waited too long. Third why are they looking for tickets if they already are stuck with tickets they wanted refunds for?

I m calling bs on this one.

I had a layaway plan for Ohana which uses the same ticketing service.  Layaway plan was refundable less a service fee at any time until last payment made.  Once last payment made it’s like any other ticket purchase.  So yeah, this story doesn’t add up.  

There is one thing though.  Under the layaway if you missed a payment you forfeited your previous payments and your ticket.  With the passage of time if people didn’t update their credit card expiry dates they could have been screwed by this when charges restarted.  If this is what happened I could see a politician having an issue with it, but I still can’t see how a necessary approval could be outstanding at this stage.
