Some perspective for newer fans and why it's (probably) going to be okay

This assumes you're okay with the price of face value tickets.

If you missed out on the 10 Club lottery...do not freak out. If you missed out on the TM "verified fan" sale...do not freak out. If you are thinking about selling your firstborn to afford a ticket on the secondary market or Pearl Jam Premium at this exact moment...do not do it.

You're already in the best place if you want to get tickets. If you wait for fan-to-fan to open up for most of these shows and are somewhat persistent - especially on the week of the show - you will end up with face value tickets that you like. If you are somewhat persistent on these boards / reddit / cashortrade about getting tickets to Wrigley or MSG - again, especially on the week of the show - and you are happy with sitting anywhere in the building, there is a very high possibility you will end up attending one or both of those shows either with face value tickets or tickets that are way cheaper than what they are currently being offered for now on the secondary market or Pearl Jam Premium.

Ticketmaster makes big bucks on FOMO and a false sense of scarcity. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. Your best chance at getting tickets to most of these shows isn't even here yet. Mark the show you want to go to on your calendar, go outside, touch some grass, and come back much later.

    Agreed!  Do NOT use a reseller site! Lots of people over bought tickets are selling at face value (sometimes under).  Also TM always release tickets on the site, you just kinda need to be on it 24/7 when they pop up. Lots out there, just a damn shame the base price.
