Anyone doing the automated drop alerts for other shows? I love the push notifications.

Not sure if this was covered previously, but if you get to the checkout page and you are the one that has the tickets "locked" you will get them regardless of how fast you are on that page. My proof:

Saw a pair of F2F tickets. Had both my phone and laptop going. Both were on checkout page. Tried to checkout with laptop. Got the error occurred message. Figured I had missed out yet again. After more than a minute, realized I still had checkout page open on phone. Put in my CC, etc and was able to checkout and got the tickets. This was well after I got the error on my laptop.

Not sure if this is true. I think you just got lucky 

I'm not 100% sure, but I am 95% sure. I have missed out on SOOO many tickets that I had in my cart. Not just this tour, but prior ones. I know how fast they go, and there is zero chance these pavilions would have survived the minutes I had them on my phone. Sure, could have been some weird fluke, but I tend to think not.

I've never heard of anyone else leisurely going through the checkout process and actually scoring on F2F. Are you sure they weren't standard tickets (which have a timer)? 

Yes, they were F2F. I think the issue here is that everyone is fast to get to the checkout page. They then (wrongly) assume that they didn't get them because they weren't fast enough to check out. The reality is (imo) that they actually weren't fast enough to GET to the check out page, and there is nothing they could do about it.

I have had at least a dozen Noblesville tickets in my cart that I couldn't check out with. I have always been very fast to enter CC etc. I am telling you it was a good 2 minutes before I checked out on my phone. I had already been complaining to my wife that I missed again. It was only out of frustration that I even bothered to complete it on my phone.

My qualifications for the above: computer programmer.

When standard tickets go to a cart, anyone else who tries to cart the tickets gets an error message "sorry another fan beat you" and can't even get to the checkout page. If that's how F2F works as well, why wouldn't the same thing happen? 

That has not been my experience at all. I have bought at least 50 F2F tickets since the 2020 F5 days. 

“Another fan beat you to it” is when you aren’t even close. The ticket has been bought already. Multiple people can get to the cart page until it’s bought. But only one of them is able to check out.  And it doesn’t have to do with how fast you check out. That’s my hill and I’m willing to die on it…

you will see the “another fan” if you randomly check the page and a ticket looks available. The cart ones happen when you see the tickets pop up between refreshes. That means you are close. But only the first person will lock the ticket. If that person abandons the cart then someone else may be enable to check out. 

So what you are saying is if I go cart something in STP night 1 that has not sold and has been there for awhile, and you come in 30 seconds later and try to purchase the same ticket you think it will give you an error? I do not think that will happen. I think the sale will go through on your end. 

Edit: I am not saying we actually do this as the risk of eating tickets would not be worth the trial imo.

We should do the trial. Get on zoom to coordinate who carts it first. Whoever's theory is wrong gets stuck with the ticket. Or if there's enough interest everyone on the zoom pitch in 5-10 bucks. Should be worth it for the entertainment and to know for sure how it works going forward

The good news is that we've got almost 50 tickets sitting out there in the pavilion. The longer we collectively hold out on the premium hopefully the lower those prices become. 

The f2f tickets won't ever go down in price though

Looks like Ticketmaster found some more premium seats laying around.

I always wondered if the 10% Premium allotment was from the total venue (24,000) or the Pavilion (6000). It would make a huge difference if they were using the total venue as the number and then only using Premiums with the Pavilion seating. That would make it over 1/3 of the seats being of the higher price when you take out the Pit. Crazy numbers if true.
