Use SeatGeek

I just nabbed an upper deck seat to Philly 2 for $285 (including fees) on SeatGeek. The same row but one section over are selling for $500 (before fees) on Ticketmaster. Just a heads up for those that missed out on the presales.

Are you sure you’ll get the tickets?  They’re supposed to be non-transferable.

Well I hope so lol. Here are the emails I got. First after ordering, and the second after the seller confirmed my order. And my credit card was charged.

I don't know if a hollow threat, but per policy IF they were originally 10c seats AND sold for > face value, the original order could be cancelled and you'll be SOL.  Seatgeek would try to compensate you, but could turn into a stress scramble.

Or, just be patient for the face value exchange to open and get better tickets at lower prices than this, with the piece of mind to know you’ll get your tickets because they were sold through the appropriate channels.

Also, Ticketmaster has claimed they'll invalidate any tickets they've found were transferred on other platforms. Claimed.

If that happens, so be it.

Those will get scooped up so fast by people that are checking every day for them. And I hate this ticketing process so much that I don’t want to be bothered with the “appropriate channels” anymore.

Section 223? Those were shown as limited view on TM last night for $175. Section 224 selling for $500 as PJ Premium.

Yeah section 223. They weren’t available on TM anymore when I checked this morning. But they don’t say limited view like others on Seatgeek do. I think maybe the half that section is and half isn’t
