    1 ticket available for N2 for the low, low price of $957.  That equates to roughly $40 per song.  And if they play Lukin, that's $40 for 1 minute of music.  All of a sudden the arena beer prices seem reasonable.  :)

    Actually, the exact price is $957.30   Because $958 would be out of the question, but $957.30 will get someone to bite.  You can't make this idiotic shit up.

    You have some bars on 5th avenue. And you have the two hotels (Cambria & The Marriott) with bars. Along with The Double Tree Hotel a block down from the arena

    If anyone happens to have a pair of spare tickets for Pittsburgh N1 and are looking for Atlanta N1 tickets, please let me know and we can try to work out a trade  :)

    How would this even be possible with the commie rules currently in place?

    WTF are "commie rules"?

    The current system where the real fans are not allowed to sell their tickets to another human.  Instead they have to list them at face value so that a bot can buy them before a fan has a chance, then 10 minutes later, the same exact tickets are listed on seat geek for 5x face value.  Thought you were aware of this.

    Meet up at the venue and walk in together, or share Ticketmaster logins

    Yeah, it would have to be swapping Ticketmaster logins or trying a timed drop on F2F and hope for the best, walking in together isn't really an option because we're not going to Atlanta

    Communism is a political and economic system that aims to create a classless society where the government owns the means of production.  In this situation, TM and PJ are the government and they are doing nothing but helping the scammers, scalpers and bots, while taking a dump on the chest of the real fans.

    This makes zero sense.

    To be fair I believe TM just enables it by allowing bot access via API and the ability to bypass onsale queues. Unfortunately I think we live in an environment where artists, promoters and scalpers have somewhat of a symbiotic relationship where promoters front the cost of the tour on behalf of the artists and offer them guarantees, and scalpers ensure a day one “sellout” and act as an insurance policy so that promoters/Live Nation can recoup their investment from ticket fees. In this scenario scalpers are taking on all the risk because at this point Live Nation has been paid. Stop buying second hand and make that entire industry less profitable so they stop buying all the tickets and we can get a better sense of the actual demand for these shows. Of course it’s a hard bell to unring since scalping is so entrenched in the state of things and most people would rather not miss out on the show vs not buy overpriced tickets out of principal.

    This is exact proof of what a terribly shitty system this is.  Again, all the band and TM does is help the scalpers. It's amazing how tone deaf they are.

    I really don't think its going to play out like that this time.  Bots are not going to list these tickets for face value and fans simply do not have access to face value seats.  As seen above, every time a fan lists their seats, they are automatically scooped up and relisted on the scalper site at 10x face value before a human can even click on them.  The only thing that would eventually stop this crooked process is if the bots get stuck holding onto several thousand seats and the band shows up to arenas that are half empty.

    Bots will eventually be turned off or adjusted to only buy GA in order to avoid buying too much inventory. We saw it over and over again last year.
