FYI - TicketBastard (ok Ticketmaster.com) has about 1/2 dozen pairs for each of the two shows as face-value Verified Fan exchanges. I just picked up a pair, and I'm going on the first night!

    And they just released hundreds of Platinum tickets. Unbelievable.

    And they're all better than my 10C seats!
  • ZodZod Posts: 10,072
    yup, cheaper and closer than the n1 platinum tickets I bought on sale day....

    not so bummed they used platinum, only how many there were... it seems like a large percentage was sold as platinum :(

    Interestingly, they seem to be making adjustments on the fly. Some of the Platinum tickets appear to have flipped over to regular tickets. 

    I wonder if this is done entirely by algorithm, or if there's an actual person pulling the strings.

    $199-$288 tix on the floor for sale. meanwhille theres a poor sucker 15 rows further back trying to sell his platinums for $600.  Brutal!
  • ZodZod Posts: 10,072
    yah it's disheartening.  At least my overpaid tickets are on the main level (row GG centre), but those poor sods trying to sell their platinum tickets up on the balcony.. that sucks.

    They just released another 100+ orchestra tickets (some Platinum, some not) for each show.

    wow, it's insane how few were put up for regular sale at the beginning.. grrrr...

    We managed to move up quite a bit and relist/sell immediately our old tix. Not a perfect system but was really stoked they released more tix. 
  • ZodZod Posts: 10,072
    I thought about trying to sell some f2f tickets I bought in row DD, but tickets closer are almost the same price.   If I bought the other ones I'm not sure someone would take the ones I have further away.

    Don't forget that selling your original Verified Fan tickets counts against you in future Verified Fan sales.  FYI
    I don't think 10 club sales do though.

    I wonder if buying the fan to fan resale count against the 2 ticket limit.  I seem to remember being able to go over the limit with fan to fan and regular ticketmaster tix for the 2020 tour, but I could be way off on that its been so long.

    i had a pair of tenclub and a pair of ticketmaster seats for the Newark EV shows in my Ticketmaster account. I used a pair and had friends use the other pair. No issues. they just went in with me, then used screenshots to get to their seats 
    can you feel this world with your heart and not your brain?
  • gus stillsgus stills Posts: 339
    I tried to buy a fan to fan pair while I had my previous pair and got a message saying I was over my two ticket limit. My buddy had to buy and then I listed mine. Did not realize that selling could incur a future penalty on verified sales. Damn.

    My ticket buddy is unable to make it so i have a spare ticket for night 2 - Feb 22 - Sec 3TIER, Row BXC, Seats 7 & 8. I paid $305.50 for the pair.

    Interesting, thanks for the heads up. 

    Sitting on 1 ticket in row R, it's decent but always looking to upgrade. Good thing those row B tix are in pairs otherwise it'd be awfully tempting to splurge and spend $550 on one

    They just released some of the best seats in the house. Hope some fans here can get them.

    But guess what, if you sold our verified tix, you can’t buy new ones. Damn. Tried to move up again but Ticketmaster said no

    Huh?  Use a different account or something.  I sold my tix for tomorrow and plan to upgrade once they release the good seats again.

    I did—still caught me. Oh well. We still have great seats.

    How long have the shows been averaging? And are they starting at the announced time?

    We have a Row GG Right Side Seat 3. I can meet near the venue.

    What's the etiquette on moving to a better seat if it's empty a few minutes into the show?

    You'll go to jail.

    Embarrassment if they arrive late, not sure what the actual policy is though.

    Jail is ok but the threat of embarrassment has put me off :grin:
