Hardest show to get tickets for?

What shows do we think are going to be the hardest to get?
It has to be the postponed shows right? More tickets available for the “new dates”. Besides MSG, which of the postponed shows do you think will be the hardest?
I gotta say, during F2F it was almost impossible to find a St. Louis or Nashville ticket. LA was kind of hard too yeah? (Obviously Baltimore)

    Las Vegas.  I live here and hope that won’t be my experience but I think this show will be highly sought after (of the added shows).  I have tickets to 2020 Phoenix and LA shows but got my $$$ back.  It might just work out.

    MSG and TO for sure. New shows have a full allotment of tickets available. 

    F2F is always hit and miss. I got lucky with STL on F2F a few times, there aren't going to be tickets available consistently with it.

    My wife and I each put in for MSG.  We’re both fans and Ten Club members so figured we’d try to improve our odds.  

    Wishing everyone the best of luck with whatever show(s) they put in for.  Keeping our fingers crossed 🤞

    For those who want a reserved seat, Camden will be the toughest ticket. Its one of only 2 shows for half the country, plus msg ticket holders can put in for it.

    In 1998 I got 2nd to last row in Camden.  I was like 2nd in line at the Ticketmaster booth.

    Back in 2000, my brother in law worked at The Wiz and they had a Ticketmaster counter inside the store. He grabbed me tickets for Jones Beach #3 right when they went on sale.  Those were the days. 😁

    That’s amazing.   That was not an easy ticket to get.    We can’t use connections anymore really I guess :lol:
    I never thought I would miss the Ticketmaster booth

    A girl I dated in college worked at a West Coast Video store an they had a Ticketmaster counter too.  She got me Springsteen tickets a couple times.  The seats were great.  I miss those Ticketmaster counters… the girlfriend not so much.  😂

    I'd guess, based on the discussions over the past 2 years, the hardest tickets were, and will remain as MSG and Nashville. I know someone else said Toronto, but I haven't seen many posts about the Canadian dates, although I'd assume that would be true of the toughest of the Canadian dates.

    I've never seen any ticket for anything as hard to get as Baltimore. The F2F made it impossible to buy your way in, which is at least a fall back plan assuming tickets don't go to astronomical prices.

    Nashville covers the entire southeastern US. I'd imagine it would be a beast.

    Would you then rank MSG as one of the easiest? Plenty of seats available on StubHub.

    The trade-off for Baltimore was spending time refreshing the F2F page. I managed to get 2 sets of tickets, and while it did involve many days of frustrated refreshing, I didn't pay an arm and a leg. I'll take that trade-off. Was still ridiculously difficult to get tickets.

    I was curious what the 2020 odds were and found the old thread. This is the first time they used Ticketstoday odds page and those 99% reserved were all bullshit of course. Those MSG odds are insanely high for reserved even with the extra tickets they got that tour. I am not even sure I believe that though as I know a ton of people that struck out on the first round for MSG.

    Nashville is such a good one to go to.   Right off of Broadway.  Right near tons of hotels.  Awesome arena.  Other than New Orleans probably the best pure music town in the country.

    When it comes to PJ I usually go to the shows alone.  Easy to get a single ticket lol, I take the train into NYC from MA, stay at a hotel adjacent to the Garden and across the street from the train station.  I always have a blast.
