The game has changed.  Waiting to purchase is now the better strategy; take advantage of it.

This.  Someone has a chance to score some great seats if prices fall like the Earthlings tour.  

This is what we did. Waited until a few days before the Newark show, got seats for what I would have paid through 10c, yet there were "platinum" seats in the same row for 3x what I paid.

Do you see that happening for MSG or Camden? The demand is completely different for these shows in that area.

Honestly, no. Camden is a very tough ticket. And MSG is a completely different beast since transfers are allowed.
We did get lucky for Camden, my daughter won pit and my husband and I both won reserved. My daughter also won seats for MSG back in 2020 and has held on to them.

It seems like some are expecting this to happen. Sure some few might get lucky on a drop with MSG or fan to fan with Camden but the vast majority without tickets right now for those shows will be shut out unless they pay the premium prices or get a fan to sell it to them on this board.

Completely agree. My earlier comment referred to ticket sales in general for other bands and other geographic locations. We got lucky for EdVed Earthlings, but there was no where near the same demand for his solo gigs as there is for PJ. We originally had passed on it because I wasn't impressed with what had been released at that time, and was totally put off by pricing. But as it got closer, and a lot of my friends were going to be there, we decided to go.

I have picked up front row seats in drops the day of or day before shows in the past - shows at the Beacon, great side seats at MSG and also venues in Philly. But those were pre-covid and things have changed. I'm sure it does still happen but I don't believe it's as common as it used to be. ETA: Those seats are now considered platinum, so it's different than it was years ago.

This is exactly where I started and almost certainly where I would have ended up had they come through Boston. 

It was a night out, and the first time in a long time that we saw a large group of friends. We asked one of those friends what he thought about the show, and his reply was "It was fine". Completely accurate. I bought one of the fresh pressings of Ed's record, it's still sealed. I'm glad we went because it was a fun social event, and that we paid the going 10c rate, rather than the high platinum price.

Was getting more fanclub seats ever put forth by 10c as a reason for PJ Premium? I know they mentioned keeping fanclub prices down - which is appreciated - but did they ever anywhere connect it to ticket quantities?

Yes… In the March 14th email they said it was to maintain fan club accessibility.  

Tickets may have sold out in seconds, but if you check the TM site for the shows now, almost all of them have plenty of seats available. I have 2 to Sacramento and Oakland I am trying to sell, as I have a family emergency that took me out of the country... This TM resale thing is Total sham. I think I'm gonna get stuck with a $1,500 bill for two shows I can't get to.

I think being able to sell on F to F for less than face would sure be nice to recoup some money for folks who can't make it, at the same time having someone in the seat at the show instead of empty. 

Preventing below face sales is indefensible really.   As long as there are better seats available at face, the less desirable seats won't ever sell at the same price. Some people who would otherwise skip the show at 130/ticket will attend for 65/ticket. More butts in seats and fans get some of their money back. Win win. What's the downside?

Punishing people who pay absurd amounts for premium tickets is a plus in my book. 

Sounds like you resent people with money. The premium pricing subsidizes the standard sales. I don't see how it's a plus to punish someone for buying tickets they can't use, whether they paid $100 or $1,000. 

I remain more than a little surprised that so many of these PJ Premium tickets sold at price points above $1,000 before fees. It's wild that people were willing to make that purchase, especially when so many of the seats were not best in the house.
