I just hope people don't expect to buy 4 together easily.

Getting 4 together is definitely trickier. I was talking more for people looking for singles or pairs.

While everyone keeps saying there will be plenty of tickets, if I didn't have them I would be a little worried.

People comparing Alpine Valley not selling out to this are crazy. First Alpine Valley was two nights and they would have continued to sell as many lawn seats as possible. And as others have said Alpine Valley is not Chicago. People have to travel over 2 hours from Chicago to get to Alpine.

Also, take a look at Stubhub again: Pearl Jam availabilty, less than 1600 tickets in a 40,000 seat stadium.

Priced from: $229.00 USD
1,597 tickets left

Now look at Jay Z/Justin Timberlake at Soldier Field. Over 7000k tickets available before the general onsale tommorow, WOW....and yes Soldier Field is bigger but it is also one of the smallest NFL fields w/ barely over 60k, and if you look at the tickets they aren't selling tickets behing the stage so maybe 52,000 or so.

Priced from: $79.00 USD
7,213 tickets left

Yes you might get lucky in the end, but especially if you are travelling in.....I would go for a roof top ticket....$100 and free food/booze, you will be able to hear it just as well if not better than people that are in the last few rows of the 200 or 500 section.

I guess the overall point is there are plenty of tickets...it's a massive, massive concert and the show isn't until July, so at the very least wait until the beginning of July to pull the trigger on anything. Ticket prices will continue to gradually fall as they do for any big show.

I would also advise against buying a rooftop ticket just to be able to hear the show. Not many fans around here will be satisfied by that and will go in search of an actual ticket, which they will find. Then they will have just needlessly spent an extra $100.

This is all just my opinion, of course. I'm always willing to show up without a plan and just wing it because it pretty much always works out. Other people really don't like rolling that way and place a lot of value on having the matter settled before they arrive, which is totally valid. Anyone who wants that security should buy early and save themselves the stress. If you are not the type to stress about such things, then just show up and ask around. You'll find a ticket.

Some of you people are stressing me out!!! It's Feb 28th. Stubhub/scalpers selling now, are working with all your fears. Wrigley is huge. Tickets will come down. Tickets will be available day of. I will be traveling from Seattle, no ticket in hand, I expect no issues. Too early to buy! Don't do I! :nono: :nono: :nono:

You will find a ticket from someone on the board later this spring, just have to be patient.

People will spend Thousands of Dollars on Posters.
People will spend Thousands of Dollars on Frames.
People will spend Hundreds of Dollars on Bootlegs.
People will spend $150 for a Super Duper Re-Issue, of a 20 year old Album.
People will spend $100 for a Track Suit.
People will spend $100 on a Jacket.
People will spend $800 on an album.

But these same people, will bitch, scream, whine, and moan, if they have to go to stubhub a buy a concert ticket, for $100 over face value.

I dont get it.

Those people that you refer to are probably the same people that got on stub.. or the Bay and paid crazy money weeks ago. Not everyone spends crazy money.

Also, those items that you refer to typically hold their value.

With that said, I understand your point.

i'm not complaining about cost. money is temporary. it comes and goes. memories of pj shows last much longer. i just want to get into the show. i'll wait it out and either get for one from here, or do as suggested and stalk the stadium the day-of for fans with spares.

I'm just mad Tim B. never called me and brought 4 GA tickets to my house. I thought that was included in the $40 a year I spent?

He doesn't call, he just shows up. No one was home.

The supply has seemed to increase with the lowest price dropping close to $200. Small steps but I think the market is flooded now that people got their hard tickets in the mail and they don't want to pay for them on next month's credit card bill before they flip them....

$200 to get in the building.
Isnt a bad deal at all.

Depends on the seat. Too many seats at Wrigley to be paying $200 just to get in. In my opinion. Wait until the day of show.

bluegrace · March 2013

I wouldn't wait til the day of the show. I heard there were false tickets floating around in Stockholm last summer for the PJ concert. The show was sold out, but you could find left over tickets through the internet, that's what I did. But no, I would never show up without a ticket on the day. Buy in advance.

I'm convinced some of the posters in this thread have tickets they are trying to move on stubhub.

:nono:

+1 The best advice is to keep an eye on the # of tix on the secondary market and the price that the seller is asking. Just like basic Business Economics 101, it's all about supply and demand. Based on what I'm seeing, many tix were bought with the intentions of being resold for profit. Many people will always jump as soon as the event is sold out, so once that wave dies, you'll get a feeling for the true market as show time gets closer.

Most companies operate the same way ticketbastard does, so I think most of the same rules applies.

Usually in the last few weeks leading up to a show more tickets get released. Sometimes its two weeks out, sometimes its 2 days, and sometimes its day of.

They usually hold tickets back for fan clubs and promos. They also block off tickets around the stage in case speaker stacks or something would impede the view.

I generally know this because I'm super picky with my concert tickets. If I don't get GA floor or first 10 rows (on the floor or side stage tickets) I wait.

It's always worked out for me. Its completely nerve wracking because you really want to go and therefore really want to have tickets. Pearl Jam '98 in Vancouver I got row 10 beside the stage day of. There was a Tool show in Edmonton that I got row 7 on the floor about two weeks before the show. Same deal with Motley Crue/Aerosmith. Some friends of mine really want to see kid rock and they kept trying to buy crappy tickets. I didn't really want to go, but I was moving away and thought it might be one last fun thing to do. I took charge of the tickets and got us row 9 on the floor a few weeks before the show. I sort of did that because when I let someone else in charge of Tool tickets (a different tool show) I got stuck being way up in the stands.

The moral of my story is hammer the website in the weeks leading up to the show. Decent tickets will probably be released.
