St. Paul should have been:

$199 - GA
$159 - front Floors, Stone/Mike side
$129 - rear Floors, all other 100 levels
$109 - stage facing 200 level
$89 - rear 200's 

And offer up a dozen or so choice pairs for Vitalogy auction.

Place would've sold out both nights.

Agreed.  10c members are mostly selective of seats, and they’re not getting any casual fans in the building at 161.50 for a 300 level seat

i would even say that GA would sell out at $249-$299

Agreed. But that'd why they put so many of us 10C members in the 300 level. We're a special bunch and will pay whatever to see them and spend countless hours trying to upgrade. All the while, many 300 level tickets are easily purchased at the same price as all the GA/floor/100 level pricing.

With my 10c number in the 400s, I’ll likely never enter a joint GA/Seat lotto again, unless it’s for a historically “do whatever to get in the building” place like MSG

I have a 100% success rate at getting better seats on F2F than what 10c gets me if forced to select a seated option

Just logged into PJ.com and noticed how many tickets are just sitting on F2F for St. Paul.  What am I missing?  You’ve got scalpers making a killing in Chicago and Indy has bupkis available…curious why those shows aren’t in demand at all??

There's a few reasons. Too many tickets were held back, and later released as PJ Premium at a high mark up.

Any of those Premium tickets that were bought can only be resold for what you paid for them. So any savvy ticket shopper is gonna go for the better deal.

Aside from that, they really should have gone with tiered pricing. Charging the same amount for rear upper levels as GA/Floor was kinda ridiculous. 

This got me thinking - what are the most successful tours post - yield in terms of attendance? I know my Mansfield shows for the binaural tour were absolutely packed, but I did notice that Montreal 2003 was def not sold out. Obviously tons of people go to shows, but I guess i'm a tour nerd and i'm curious about attendance stats haha.

Multiple reasons.  As a fan who has made multiple shows and given the age group of fans, it was dumb to do an August/Sept tour.  School has started and most of us have kids.

It's Labor Day weekend.  People have traditional stuff to do with family. It's dumb not to have the other MSP show during the 3 day weekend.  Instead you put it on the Thursday which is extra time off for the working man.

Timing next to the Chicago show is poor.  If you're from Iowa, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, it's generally easier to get to Chicago as a flight hub rather than Minneapolis.  If you're going to drive, you pick one and Chicago is a better town to visit.  If you would normally go to multiple shows, it doesn't help that there are limited weekend dates on this tour.  I know if it's a Friday/Sat show in MSP, I would have made both but I have work obligations.  I'm certainly not taking off a whole week to go to MSP, then a midweek Chicago show.  This tour doesn't seem to be the best as their are limited weekend days.

Morning all. For those of you looking for a pair of Indy lawn tickets, I'm going to put them up on F2F around 745am EDT. Good luck!

I'm right there with you. Even if I have to pay an extra bit on the secondary, it's preferred to dealing with worrying about unloading 300 level tickets.

It’s a lower population area, in the corner of the country and easily accessible by car by not many other population centers. So that leaves flying as only option for most out of town fans.

did a quick search on Google flights, for the next few days they cost around triple the cost of what flights are going for in just a few weeks. I’d love to hop on a plane and go, but flights after 9am cost is about $600.

 Everyone knows last minute flights are expensive.  They announced 4 months ago.

F***in Ticketmaster 

It’s already done…just let it happen and say it was a mistake and move on. That sucks 

Wow, thats crazy ...  nothing like owning the error and living with the consequences ... im surprised they didn't void the ticket for breaking the rules. 

The ticket does say voided on my end with the person who sent it not yet receiving the tickets back. We both got emails saying they were going to transfer them back. What are the odds we wake up tomorrow and this still is not resolved. 

Any luck on your end @PJNB getting tickets back into the original transferor’s account?

None yet. Waiting to hear back from the chat from a live agent.

Same here - started chat last night and still no response.

Maybe they are redoing the 10c seat allocations.

I have extra Chicago 1 GAs, anyone want to trade for night 2 GAs or Indy GAs?

I'm a little surprised that there are still plenty of face value pairs available for Chi N2.  I know they are in the 300s but I thought this show would be the one on the tour that was sold out and harder to get.  Maybe the listings are from people that have upgraded their seats, would suck to be left eating the extra tickets.

Day before the opening night of the Tour.  Hundreds of seats available.

Reminder to list your extras now for the rest of the shows before it’s too late.

I’m in a similar boat. I believe I upgraded and resold all of my original 10c tickets within a few weeks of F2F opening.

Your STP GAs are gone, but we've charged your card for a pair of rear stage 300 level seats in the United Center. 

All sales are final. 

Weston1283

Someone on FB is selling their 111 STP pair for $100 each with no bites so far.  Similar thing happened with a few of the 2022 shows I believe, people eating tickets or selling for large discounts late.  Never buy Premium my friends.
