    Yah, I suppose to me, these particular shows feel different than other shows.   Most other shows that use platinum tickets, the goal is drip them out to make it look like there aren't many for sale, but the drip them out the entire time, so there's always some on sale, then blowout whatever's left near the show date at face value (if demand wasn't high enough to sell them).  If you wait until too close to the show date to dump all the platinum tickets, that's great for us, but doesn't maximize revenue.

    I've just found it weird that not many fans seem to acquire tickets, and the platinum tickets released thus far have been more limited than any other concert I've looked at.  Shows that use platinum never not have them up for sale.

    Fingers crossed though.  Maybe it means they're sitting on a mound of unsold tickets.   On the flip side it's possible the charitable aspect of the show has left a lot less for sale then a regular show.  Fingers cross that this all works in our favour :)

    I am nostalgic for the old school first come first serve method of tickets.   All the nuance of modern ticket sales is challenging :)

    Yep just grabbed 2 for Monday in Founders Tier Row D, 373 total for 2 tickets.  Not great seats but at least am in and now will look to upgrade.

    Yah, thanks to a 10c'er messaging me, I got a pair for night one in the middle balcony level.   Not the greatest tickets, but I'm in the door for night 1.   I suppose I can always try to upgrade down the road, but at least we won't be sitting in Seattle without tickets if this event ends up being tight on tickets.  Feel pretty lucky to have face value tickets for both nights.

    Think they will have EV merch for these shows?  Just saw the EV Ohana merch and looks pretty awesome (poster, tees, hoodies etc)

    I don't see why not.  Some of the Ohana merch (shirts) also show the seattle shows, and they had merch last year at the Earthlings shows.

    They will not miss an opportunity to sell merch.  In this case, I assume some of the proceeds are for the cause.

    Yea, if you see the back of Ohana hoodie it says Seattle on it also. Def want to get that hoodie in Seattle! 

    I really appreciate everyone’s insight and hope for tickets showing up reasonably priced. I’m looking to take a work friend and we’ve been put through the ringer since August (60-80 hour weeks standard) and this concert is my thank you to her but of course  tickets are  proving to be difficult, but these posts are giving me much hope as we have 25 days left to make this happen. I’m flying in for this as it’s really the only thing I’m doing in my life other than work. We work at a world wide tutoring company so it’s full tilt boogie until December but this show is gonna be so special and I really miss the old tours with Eddie and it’s just all those guitars, ukes, mandolins, and he was the whole show, and I play acoustic guitar so his shows are like a clinic, I play for 40 minutes and my fingers are hurting and voice feels strained and he’s going at it 2+ hours and sounding phenomenal. I know it takes a lot to put that on, and Ive seen Eddie either solo or Earthlings at Benaroya and it always feels magical. 

    Sorry rambling so in conclusion: Anyone looking to get rid of a pair due to upgrading or whatever in this crazy world happens, please please let me know! We just wanna be in the building, but ideally those Lincoln box seats anywhere on either side.  Sat there in 2011 and had my binoculars to see his finger action. That pinky work he does is so fluid.

    The limit is 2 right?  If managed to get a better pair, I have to sell the ones I have first?  Thats awkward :(

    no idea, I haven't tried to see what happens if you exceed the limit yet. 

    Also, I'm seeing people who bought full prices platinum tickets now having 2nd thoughts and trying to ditch them, only to see TM's price dropping on them.

    Platinum tickets aren't moving fast.  Tempted to sell my night 1 tickets, to try and upgrade to closer later on, but feels like gambling.

    Hey if anyone is going to post please give more of a heads up.  Also scalpers read this page and what we learned in the PJ tour is the best approach is to post that you have something and then set up a timed drop with someone by DM.  Of course anyone can list their tickets any time they want.  Just a suggestion.

    Where is the fan 2 fan presale area? Same area where you buy face value?
