    Some vindication for those rightfully complaining ticket prices are extreme,

    Yah.. and they're older so you can't really blame them for trying to earn more while working less.   I think many of us would do that.  Plus they've hit the age where I'm hoping to retire at one day, so I can't really be upset their working into years where I might not be :)
    They could semi-retire with a yearly residency in Seattle, NYC, and LA and barely miss sleeping in their own beds while still doing 20 shows per year and selling tons of merch. Especially since they have 100+ songs in the live catalog and won't be playing the same 20 songs every night like some of the bands out there.

    Twenty (20) plus year Ten Club member. Was passed-over in the lottery. Paid way too much for two (2) tickets to Philly 2024-09-07 and 2024-09-09. That's on me of course. Doubt I'll do it again. Could be the end of the "Long Road"...

    The lesson learned this tour is if you miss out on lottery, wait until the week before the show, and grab something at face value.

    What have we learned since 1991?

    That Ticketmaster is still the same ole shady scumbags in 2024. Their system is a scam. 100%. 
    I died. I died and you just stood there. I died and you watched. I died and you walked by and said no. I'm dead.

    This. All is not lost. I literally got a face value seat just hours before MSG 1. And it was a damn decent seat. Between ticket dumps, fans last min bowing out, etc, you can always try the week or even day of...
