Right there with you.

wait-listed for Camden. I'll be shocked if this ends up being a tough ticket.

I guess we're going.  My friend got us row 20 side stage. Not cheap.  $390 CDN$ after fees.   Luckily I'm going with a friend so I only needed to pay for 1 ticket.   I guess that's the same as bringing my wife to a concert and paying for both tickets.

On the flip side we opted not to go to GNR. Stadium show, GA tix are over $800.  Don't feel like dealing with a stadium show.  I love GNR, but I think Springsteen shows are better.

I guess that's the new thing.  I spend just as much on concerts as I used to, but I go to less of them now :(

Wife and I were both waitlisted for Los Angeles.  Hopefully the secondary market is soft closer to the show.

What's deal with the setlists this tour so far? Like PJ one of the best parts of Bruce live was not knowing what you would hear. Every show has essentially been the same so far, save a few songs here and there. 

Is this driven by 
1. early in the tour and will start getting mixed up as they wamr up an play more shows
2. an age thing - where bruce just wants to keep it steady and maybe doesnt feel like he can mix it up night to night
3. driven by the ticket issues - where it's not as easy for fans to see multiple nights, so basically give them the same show everyone else sees

Possibly all of the above plus the band has had COVID issues.

All of the above plus early tour shows are often static. In the past it's  been about selling the latest album.
In my case with prices so high and no close shows I am limited to 1 show on this leg so I was happy with the  "abbreviated " 25 song KC show.

I scored tickets for Calgary - they were cheap-ish (compared to what I've been hearing) - $259 CAD for 2 seats. But they are behind the stage! I've never sat behind stage before. I'm still gonna go, happy to be in the building, but dang.

Got tickets for Van yesterday, easy as pie. Section 120, beside stage on the aisle. Almost exact same seats as PJ ‘09, and they were great

There are some great seats on TM for Saturday in Portland, OR

Non-resale/non-platinum but they are still $399 + fees

Yah, out of curiosity I went and looked this morning about how many reseller tickets were posted for sale, and it seems fairly minimal compared to other concerts.   I felt verified fan mostly worked well (except i didn't get my own code).    Keeps bots from getting in first, randomly staggers the times, if you got a code, you pretty much got tickets because it took a while to sell out that way.

The springsteen shows are interesting, in that there are no presales, just verified fan, so no competing for slivers of tickets every time there's a sale.   The tickets aren't cheap, but it seemed a humane way to do it.

I am curious about the GNR show.  I pulled $375 face value pit tickets this morning through the livenation code but opted not to go.   While it's still in presale mode, there's so many tickets for sale right now.   Not many are selling.   I did like how GNR generally played larger venues than they needed (keeping tickets accessible), but I'm wondering if they've exhausted the reunion good will

Ya I'd agree, I was skeptical of the verified fan thing cause I detest TM. But I didn't even get to login until 20 minutes after tickets went on sale and they were still available. I assumed it would be sold out to bots within 1-2 minutes, but it seemed to work how it was supposed to.

I thought that the “not in this lifetime” would have been enough, but no, they were going out AGAIN in ‘20 for another bunch of shows. Obviously it got pushed back because of covid, but they just finally finished the tour in nov or dec last year, and here they go AGAIN!!! They have clearly jumped the shark, and need to go away now. Axl is absolutely horrible sounding, like bleeding ears bad.  I noticed this morning too that it looks like they literally have only sold 1000 tickets in the presale for Vancouver. I’m sure in the end it’ll be ok, but they couldn’t pay me to go see them. Nope nope nope

Yah, that occurred to me too.  I thought Axl sounded really good at the 2006 Guns n' Replacements show I went too.  Was ok at the next one (09 or 10 I think).  2016, the only reunion show I went too, he was ok, but didn't quite sound like his classic self (some people refer to it as sounding like a chipmunk).   My favourite of 3 was the '06 Guns n' Replacements show. That show was fire... so good. so gooood

My wife and I were waitlisted for verified fan for the Los Angeles shows.  Surprisingly, the secondary market seats aren't too expensive.  Rather then wait around, I pulled the trigger on side stage seats on Stubhub for $149 each (Including fees), which doesn't seem too much over the original cost.  

CROJAM95

got 2 tix for 3rd metlife show......sect 228B, $125.00/ea plus fees

on2legs

Grabbed 3 seats on the field - 3 rows behind GA - for Camden Yards.  Most I ever spent on one concert, but seeing the show with my 11 and 19 year old sons will be great memories.
