    3 pair of LA#2 up at once right now.  Supply/demand imbalance for the west coast shows gonna shift soon and people may get stuck with extras IMO.
    Or people in this thread will realize a trip to the west coast makes more sense than hitting F5 for 300 hours over the next month

    San Diego is much nicer place to "visit" to see a show... Beaches, attractions... small venue... sucks its a weekday.. but awesome that OAK is sat/sun!

    Why do you say that? I still see all West coast sold in flash... SANS behind the stage are up much longer but do sell except OAK2 - there are still a lot of regular seats upper behind

    I just think at some point the "glut" of West Coast shows may catch up.  Not saying that it will be a major problem, but the "nice" thing about F2F is that it doesn't matter where your ticket is, there is no competition and people will buy yours.  The problem will be when there is more than 1 option available, and you have no pricing power.  The better seats will always get bought, and your crappy seats will always be last in line until they are the ONLY ones in line.  I think a few days before the show, you will see a lot up on the west coast, and people that waited until the last few days may be stuck unable to sell.
    Totally agree! You'll see a major dump one week before the show. Also, TM always saves a bunch of quality tickets that they would release a few days prior. I would not be surprised in the least if u saw a few GA tickets to each show get released.

    Imagine if we all had these F5 skills on Feb 18?  I'd be sitting on a mountain of BAL tickets right now.

    and you get ticket releases when the stage and floor are setup, you may see a whole row or two added to the floor. At Shoreline theater, it was an issue for some shows where row AA was front row, then the stage would be set and they would add AAA, BBB and CCC so those that "had" front row are now in row 3 or 4 . happened once to me got the show and there were 15 people in front of me all giving each other high5s for getting the tickets day of show and having the best seats in the house.

    Can someone give me a quick recap of today's events?  I don't really have the time to read the last 10 pages or whatever it is since I checked in.

    What members of the F5 Crew got into Baltimore?

    Right? My heart dropped a bit. I havent been obsessively f5ing like some on here, but ive been periodically monitoring. Thought i was going to possibly hit the jackpot while all these fools were refreshing the Baltimore page.

    All the drops happened at the worst time for me. During work calls, when kids got home from school, etc. 

    the hunt continues
