Was actively refreshing earlier on desktop when a pair popped up for Seattle 2, couldn't even get them into my cart. Same thing just happened on mobile. This is impossibly fast relative to previous tours' F2F. As others have speculated, there's no way scalpers aren't using bots on burner accounts to snatch up these tickets. What a bummer.
Same thing happened to me, for LA I was refreshing then saw some and clicked on them there were already gone. Then I refreshed again and they were already on the map. I believe if TM is expecting you to solve the puzzle captcha that you will not refresh, make sure you refresh the whole page and clear the BOT warning. On the mobile click back to the show list and reselect the show, if it needs the captcha cleared you will see it.. I think TM did raise the BOT warning, captcha threshold, perhaps after seeing or hearing BOT Complaints .

Sec 113 row D?
I was fast on those and did not even get the chance to cart them.
Yep. I had just refreshed the list on mobile and they weren't there, refreshed again, saw them, tapped immediately, and they were unavailable. I don't know that I could have possibly been quicker on the draw, and I couldn't even add to cart.
By contrast, I picked up GA to multiple 2022 shows, easily nabbed lowers to both nights in Austin, and upgraded my EV EB benefits multiple times. This is... different.
I missed two pairs to Philly 1 earlier tonight. They showed up within maybe 5-10 minutes of each other, and both were snatched immediately. FWIW, I got both pairs in my cart, but my browser CRAWLED on the Ticketmaster checkout page which must have had a negative impact. Still, that couldn't have added even 20 seconds to the process.

At this point, I’m just trying to get into one of the Philly shows not both. Have a feeling night 2 might be the better night with all the anticipation of a Saturday night Philly show. More of a local show on Monday night.

so the tickets my friend was supposed to give me didn't work (as earlier mentioned) so i complained about it in a thread on the pearl jam facebook group.. then the person who snagged them messaged me and said they had shitty seats they could sell me instead. i declined. my shitty tickets are better, but i did let them know that i would only want the tickets they took.. even sent them a text screenshot to prove it was a timed drop.

In the future, have your friend log into your phone with their login credentials. Once they're released into the wild, zero guarantees.
Don’t worry folks it’s back up. We can now all resume our daily routine of sitting on our phones/computers all day constantly refreshing TM every 30 seconds. 📱💻🤞🙏🤣
Seattle 1 uppers just up now. Anyone that just needs to get in the building
4 side by side now
I have not been paying attention to the limited view message before but interesting to see it says limited video view.
Interesting. I don’t remember it saying that before. To me, that suggests that the seats will not be obstructed/limited view in terms of your view of the band (which is all I care about), but potential limited view of the video screens behind the band.

Maybe the added cost is to cover special 3d glasses for the visuals. You'll be SOL off to the side

Or better yet, images that incorporate footage of the solar eclipse later today. So they hand out those special eclipse glasses at the door.

Scalpers seeing the market is not doable for them in the 200s with Seattle and dumping tickets while they can. I predict 200's will be left hanging before the shows happen.

Yup. Super frustrating.
I get that neither the band nor Ticketmaster is incentivized to curb this behavior. Speculation is responsible for a fair amount of demand... and having all the tickets sell quickly provides justification for additional revenue (for all parties) through dynamic price increases commensurate with the (artificially inflated) demand. At the end of the day, it's just a broken system. Scarcity will always drive profiteering; the best fans can do (if we don't want to pay inflated prices) is to just be patient and hope to get lucky.
