Had tickets in 2020. Verified waitlisted this time around. Want to take the kiddo. Longshot, I know. But, hey, one can dream, right? Right?

    I am looking for Chicago for my daughter.  This has to be the TOUGHEST ticket I have ever tried to get.  I have a job that allows me to have TM up all day and refresh.  I have not seen ANYTHING.  I heard ticket drops have generally been approximately 10 days before the show, but even those are gone in seconds.  I even heard that to purchase those your TM email has to be part of the verified fan...which of course mine is not.

    100%. And I refuse pay stubhub prices. 1500 for sideview nosebleeds is so beyond absurd.

    As someone who saw it in Vegas, it was an amazing show but hardly worth $1,500 for a lower bowl seat never mind one behind the stage and in outer space. I'm curious who is paying these prices as the get in cost has been over a grand at most of the shows on the tour. Perhaps it's just a matter of there being so few tickets on the secondary market?

    Best of luck in your search, OP!

    My niece works in finance for one of the largest investment banks in NYC.  Just about every female in her office under 30 has tickets and one of her friends has tickets to 4 shows.  $1500 for a ticket isn't a heavy lift for her circle.

    It’s just crazy. I’m about ready to try and sell a 98 Mansfield in excellent shape to try and make this sh** happen. Desperate times. Freaking Tay Tay

    That's my thought. It's the Uber rich paying for tickets on the secondary market. I also think it's been exacerbated by the fact that anyone that acquired tickets via the public onsale isn't selling them. So the paucity of tickets available on sites like Stubhub have further raised the get in cost. What's astonishing is that $1,500 is the get in price...cheapest get in price for Saturday Gillette show is now $2,300 before fees for TERRIBLE seats.

    So someone out there, while weeding a side garden full of  Zinnias and Dahlias, unearthed two tickets to tomorrow’s show. I’ll take them off your hands.

    Hopefully you made it in and didn't pay the $21K that some dad did...(unless you can afford it, and in that case - kudos, sir or madam.)

    They made it in. Def didnt pay that much, but paid enough. They were in parking lot and I was monitoring 18 different sites. Pounced at like 630 on decent seats to side of stage that, while expensive, didnt require the sale of any of our pets or other child to make happen.

    Good to hear! My daughters went to one of the Atlanta shows and they both said it was incredible. Glad they got to experience it.

    Yeah I mean she played like 45 songs and by all accounts, pretty much killed it. And now my daughter is all set for gifts for her 13-16 birthdays, if not longer.

    Glad you made it in!  We’re taking our daughter and three friends on Friday here in NJ.  Scoring those tickets was the culmination of years spent F5ing for PJ tickets 🤣

    True story: There were several stressful hours of trying to score tickets, knowing wife and daughter were in parking lot hoping for a miracle. After getting them, I was pretty wiped out mentally as it was a lot of stress. A few hours later I went into our laundry room to find the entire floor was wet - our water heater tank was shot and leaking. 

    An absolute mess.

    Oh man... that's a pain.  It's always something when you own a house. :bawling:

    My wife dropped our daughter and 3 friends at the MetLife show tonight and then went next door to the American Dream Mall to kill time until the show is over and she found the mall parking deck packed with people listening to the show and singing along.  Crazy.
