    Is it safe to say that the Baltimore show is the hardest ticket to get in quite some time? I'm talking normal shows, not exclusive one-offs like the Apollo theater gig.
    It's 'artificially' tough though.

    The Apollo and Borgata are/were impossible because the venues were so small.

    This is impossible because you can't buy any of the 14,000 seats anywhere, or even transfer them to someone else.

    If there was a StubHub listing for this show it would what, probably a $250-$300 ticket just to get in roughly?

    Expensive and hard to get no doubt, but it's this overall system that is making getting in impossible, not really the show itself.

    I guess the question is, how many people who have tickets to this show are actually willing to sell them? Is only being able to sell them at face value forcing people to just suck it up and go to the show rather than using them to make a profit?

    If these were available on StubHub, I would not be surprised in the least to see them listing for as much as MSG. Sure, the venue doesn't have the prestige of MSG (and Baltimore isn't NYC), but Baltimore is way easier to get to and stay in than NYC from places like Boston and Manchester. Sure, there's the Canadian shows, but flying into Baltimore is still way cheaper than Toronto or Quebec. And then, it's on a Saturday? Everyone who missed out in the lottery/VF Sale/General Public sale would be buying on StubHub. There'd be a handful of seats left at astronomical prices.
    I think the theory is not that more fans would be selling if they could sell above face, but that in an initial sale for freely transferable Baltimore tickets more brokers would have snapped up tickets for resale. Which is why, as sympathetic as I am to people who are frustrated by their inability to pay a scalper for tickets to this show, I believe that overall it's a better system. 

    I agree. I think we're not seeing a lot because the demand is still so high - tickets are snatched up as soon as they're listed, and there aren't many people looking to sell, because actual fans got the tickets. It's no different than if tickets were on StubHub, but were sold out. People were able to skip the middle man of StubHub/scalpers.
    I sure hope it's fans getting most of these.  There still are some broker sites listing tix.
    Really not a lot though.

    vividseats.com as 2 sets of 2. One at ~$1700, the other at $2000. I didn't see any on ebay (didn't look super hard).

    It's funny to watch the replies roll in where everyone here is all trying for the same tickets and collectively fail.
