    Try the Ticketmaster app, too, instead of the website. 3 of my last 4 PJ shows have been thru TM, and while I was coming up empty online, I got seats with the app right away on all three shows.

    Snap shot of availability on Friday. Click on a section so you can see the interactive map. To PJ Soul's point, you see all those really nice singles available? If the rows have odd numbers of seats, plan on seeing great singles on every aisle.

    Use the TM app on your phone. Do not connect to wifi, use your data and save your PC for wifi. If you search too fast and too often on TM, you will get a temporary ban, so it helps to use your phone on data to not double the amount of searches coming from your IP address. There are no credit card presales because PJ doesn't whore itself out to the cc companies.

    Also - I'm 90% sure, your first pulls will all show "no tickets available". You need to be persistent and continue to search over and over....for at least 10 minutes. I have pulled tickets for sold out shows 20 minutes after they went on sale. Guaranteed there will be people on here within 5 minutes of the general sale complaining about being shut out......don't let that be you. Stay persistent.

    Great post.

    I'll add a couple of thoughts on this...

    Imo THE biggest thing that drives up prices on stubhub etc is fear. Fear you haven't got a ticket therefore won't get in. It's always preferable to have a ticket in hand but patience is a money saving virtue; if you buy on a touting site in the next month or so you're agreeing to buy the biggest mark up.

    Go to the venue early on the day and don't be shy in letting people know you need a ticket. People like to help in general so word spreads etc. As has been mentioned there's always someone who can't go in the end and their ticket is just waiting for you to ask the person who's trying to get rid of it for them.

    It's so much easier getting a single than a pair.

    And the shock/horror posts with a screenshot of 2 GA @$1000 each...doesn't mean that's what they'll be sold at. Anyone can put any price on any ticket. But if anyone does pay that...more fool them in my book.

    I understand the anxiety of not having a ticket for a show as I've been in that position many times at many different bands. I've learned my lessons having paid over the odds when I had no experience of being patient, just had to get in. At 48 I've learned, painfully as a youngster.

    Don't give up, have patience, trust and you'll see the show :)
