    Any chance this is some massive government sponsored psych experiment to see how long people will sit in front of a screen staring at a spinning blue circle?...............just sayin

    This spinning blue ring is maddening. Let me in or cut me loose already. WTF
    I know, this is maddening.  Was trying for Baltimore tickets with 2000+ in front of me and have been "sitting tight" with a spinning blue circle because tickets are about to become available. F%@K

    If bots/scalpers took all the Baltimore tickets, I at least can't seem to find where they went. There are those two listings on eBay that were there yesterday, but otherwise where'd they all go?

    Again. This a computer program... Do you think there's not really a special queue for those big name corporations and scalping? Filters are part of computer programming... Just saying
    No.  I just think there is a special queue for me.  In the back.

    System is broke. Some folks got 2 lottery tix and 4 verified fan tix where as other club members where shut out of the show completelty. 
    Nobody seems to understand how f'ed up this is. those same people probably got greedy and got more tix today during the general on sale, while others got zero! Unreal! 
    I really do feel for people who didn't get tickets, but this line of thinking is so strange to me. Do we have an algorithm for who deserves how many tickets?

    it's fairly obvious they made a mistake booking one night at MSG. Getting tickets to those shows was hard enough in 2016 and there were two. I expect the cheapest ticket to be $300+ on stubhub.
    Zero mistake booking one night at MSG - they knew exactly what they were doing with the time constraints, venue availability etc.  And shockingly there are other areas of the country that want to see the band play.
    I never said there aren't other areas of the country that want to see PJ. But you must realize that PJ playing in NYC, a city of 8m+ ppl (not even going to count the full tri-state area), is a lot different than them playing in a place like Detroit. This is why, imo, it warrants two nights. And it's not like this is unprecedented... They have played MSG/Barclays two nights on several occasions.
    I get the desire for more shows, but NA leg 1, Europe, NA leg 2--they aren't going to do more, so it sorta sounds like some people (not necessarily you) are saying NY should get 2 shows and one of these others cities is SOL (like OKC perhaps). 


    I got on msg que the second it opened around 9.45

    25000+ ahead of me

    thats 50000 tickets, before me, but only those  that were able to get in line

    How many shows should they be playing outside nyc if that’s the demand here?
    Queue placement is random 


    They tell fans first come first served and wait in line 10 minutes early

    Right - and as mentioned a condensed first leg of the tour, with limited arena availability didn't allow it for the first leg.  If people want to go, they'll always figure out a way to get in the door... always.


    Msg on stub hub is about triple more than 2016

    so those that have 750$ for behind stage seats, enjoy DotC
    But it's really not - I bought nosebleeds at MSG for $300 (which I snagged ASAP when I saw it as it really was the cheapest I had seen).  I just looked, on Stubhub, and the same section is going for $470.  Just wait and tickets will certainly go down in price on resale sites.

    Behind the stage seating is currently going for anywhere from $360+ - again.. .tickets will go down in price.

    Truly not attempting to be a prick - but that is absolutely not f'ed up.. it's capitalism & has nothing to do with greed.  That or folks who truly are attempting to get multiple tickets to bring family/friends.

    Greedy? They wanted all those seats all to themselves? Are they going to change seats every few songs?
