    I really hate the unfairness in the check out process. Just let the first to claim them get them and checkout in peace instead of losing out because of a Ticketmaster roadblock.

    My strategy (on android, not sure if the UI is different on iPhones) was to click the Baltimore listing in the TM app, back arrow, listing, back arrow, listing ,back arrow....X 500,000

    I honestly thought I had these before I even saw the confirmation.

    I had practiced all the way to the final click with the OKC show, and honestly, there is a point where  your muscle memory makes it virtually impossible to go any faster.

    I am now a SME on the TM F2F marketplace.  Grand.  Time to update the ol' resume I guess.

    This is what I have been doing! Hoping it pans out eventually! Or I’ll lose my mind first. One or the other 😂

    I just hope there are Amtrak tickets left from NYC to Baltimore by the time I am successful.  The lowest cost Saver tickets are not refundable.  I guess I could buy a more expensive class that is refundable.  Then if I get a PJ ticket, buy a Saver fare if still available and get a refund on the more expensive ticket.   I already have my hotel booked and can cancel without a fee up to 24 hours.  Curious what others have done.   Some of you seem bigger risk takers than me.  I'd never travel to another city without the concert ticket in my hand.

    Heading down is not that hard....coming back up on Sunday is the hard part.

    Assuming you wanna come back on Sunday unless you wanna spend the extra $, you either need to head back mad early or wait until late afternoon/evening to find a train. 
    You can take a Megabus for $25 Baltimore to NYC. Early afternoon less than 4 hours with WiFi included. There’s a one leaving at 3:10 PM that gets you back in NYC at around 6:30 just in time for dinner 
    I booked this entire thing when Dimi leaked the dates in December.

    $130 for a hotel across the street, $110 total roundtrip Amtrak at perfect times.

    I am going out and smoking a fucking cigar.

    If using the app what is the best way to refresh?  The pull-down doesn't seem to refresh for me.

    I'm not sure you are gonna wanna hear the answer to that.

    Whereas many people here kinda joke around about OCD, I really do have a pretty decent dose of it.  My mom used to say when I was a kid that once I locked down on something there was no point in even trying to get me to let it go.

    I would say that since Tuesday night I spent the better part of 12 hours a day refreshing the site.

    It's a cliche, but my philosophy in life has always been that if you want it more than anyone else, you will get it.

    Out of the 100% of people that were originally clammering to get tickets, we are probably down to like 50% that are still actively really 'trying'.

    Out of that 50% I'd bet that only a small amount have been as diligent as the people in this thread.   If you keep at it as most normal people give up, the odds will start to tilt in your favor. 

    That was the mind game I played with myself since this thing opened, and wallah....sweet, sweet success.
