The original seating charts had behind the stage grayed out, for every arena. Hopeful, but doubtful, that they open them up this tour.
It was greyed out because it was not for 10C tickets though wasn't it? I would be surprised with the big markets if they leave those empty unless they did something crazy with their stage set up.
I’m thinking there’s something up with the stage. Hope I’m wrong
I'm seem to remember they didn't open up these tickets until later for St Paul last fall. May have been later in the same day or days later, it's hard to recall. I don't see PJ getting rid of those.
I definitely recall them opening up the back at a later time. But for MSG 2020/2022, I think I remember the only seats available during the public sale were behind the stage.
I recall TM never having a true pubic sale for recent MSG shows but my memory isn’t solid on this, we always needed the code to unlock. Would verified codes have an advantage now with the rear seats if they are still out there? I was thinking that was going to be most of the msg sections available today and there were not.

Yeah i doubt those 300 and 400 sections are completely sold out in msg. I never saw any of those sections come up in this presale
will the prices for pj premium go down later in the day if no one buys them? i keep seeing same prices for Philly
Later in the year. Like the week of the show. They'll only go up in the meantime.

I was 0/2 in the Ten club lottery for Philly... Went in this morning and pulled Sec 114 Row 4 for N1 and Sec 124 Row 2 N2. Both face value not premium pricing. Besides Pit those are pretty much exactly what I would've hand-picked if I had the pick of the lot to myself haha I guess the gods were looking down on me this time!
There's no way every ticket for MSG behind stage is sold. Even here, most people are not going to buy all of the 300's behind the stage at the start of the sale. There has to be tickets for other shows still avail for public sale. Unless 30%+ are going to be slowly leaked for market value pricing. Wishful thinking because I don't have any tickets yet.
The link i received for the sacramento registered fan sale is broken says “error 404 Not found”, the seattle night 2 link is working without issue. Anyone else getting that error message for Sac or any other show
I bet the people who already have 10C tickets got picked...
I never, ever, ever get picked for Verified Fan. When I got tix for LA through 10C I told my friend, I guarantee I'm gonna get picked for Verified Fan. I was right.

Just unexpectedly got removed from waitlist and sent a code for Fenway 9/17. Bought 3 in Grandstand 20, but it seemed like there were a lot still available. Just fyi for anyone hoping.

Word of caution that while most of the venue sounds pretty good the sound underneath the Grandstand roof is atrocious. I'd rather be outside the building personally.
So dumb when comes to this, but where do you put in the code? Does a window pop up 15 mins before hand? I clicked on link sent via txt

had had a $700 lower in my cart for msg and was tempted but just out of my commit now range, knowing Stu. Hub will be much more til minutes before show.
it stinks that they refuse to play number of shows to match NE demand, they know and charge market prices yet do nothing about it. Seven shows is most in NE since 2013 and demand is quadruple here vs anywhere else
In their defense playing two shows at Fenway alleviates that by being over 5x the capacity of two shows at MSG. Really don't understand why they don't play any larger venues that exist in NYC besides Ed clearly likes MSG.

Yeah, does Yankee Stadium do concerts?
Would people be happier with MetLife over MSG?
I think a lot of fans are spoiled for the arena shows. I'd rather just have a better chance of everyone getting in the building. And outdoor concerts on a nice summer night are overall a better vibe than MSG in my opinion. Not that MSG doesn't sound a billion times better but that's if you can get in.

If I recall correctly, MSG always sells out immediately in less time than it takes me to compose this message, Front stage, side stage, chase, Bridges, seats on the roof, seats in orbit, 500 miles over the roof. They all go immediately.
Some of us have never seen a face value blue dot ticket since they went on to online ticket sales at MSG. It’s a tougher ticket than Taylor Swift because Taylor has a lot of shows. Pearl Jam just does not play that many shows in the Northeast.. It’s stunning to me that they would waste our time with a verified fan on sale, considering how few tickets are available, and leave off the overwhelming majority of sections. The amount of our time Ticketmaster and Pearl Jam wastes for us is astounding.
looking at many of the reseller sites, there are no rear of stage tickets listed. This leads me to believe they haven’t gone on sale yet. What is the point of having today’s on sale if the majority of sections still available after (after fan club and sports season ticket holders ) aren’t being sold?

Thanks for the warning, never been to Fenway but I grew up going to concerts at Key Arena in Seattle which was notorious for having horrible sound. Is there anything in particular that makes it terrible?

Yeah, I prefer arenas myself. Or covered outdoor shows, like Alpine Valley. I just hate rain delays haha.

Something about the roof compresses the dynamic range of the sound coming from onstage. It's like you're inside a tin can kinda. If that makes any sense. And the speakers that they do have underneath those roof sections are super echoey.

Right!? You would think winning in the lottery would remove you from the verified fan and give that opening to someone else. I put in for the lottery and verified fan for the two Vegas shows and Missoula. I won the lottery on the two Vegas shows but not Missoula. Then I was selected for Vegas night 1 of verified fan, which means nothing to me when all I want is a chance to buy tix to Missoula. (I know the Missoula 2nd chance sale, but did not want to buy the back end of the floor in a stadium. Ugh).

Thanks for the info. I’ll have to think about whether it’s worth it, I guess. Might just put them up on F2F when that’s available
Here's my complaint. Yes, I know it doesn't matter. When I go to join the lobby right at 15 minutes before, and nothing happens. I refresh and refresh for about 90 seconds. Then I second guess myself, go check the email and text message, refresh again, and the join lobby button is there! Why is Ticketmaster playing with my emotions. I'll probably be queued #12,000 once the sale opens. I know, I know, 1st world problems, poor me. Love you all...hope to see you in the merch line!!!

MetLife is horrible. Horribly designed for crowd flow in concourses and parking lots
