    The option to sell my Indy & MSG tix is there in my TM acct, and it's also there for my husband's MSG & Philly tix (did not check Baltimore)

    Did not click on sell as we have no intention of selling any. Maybe people just haven't started posting tix yet?

    Based on a very wild assumption I am making about putting 2 and 2 together I think it might open next week.  That’s basically total speculation but it’s based on a tiny piece of information that I’m reading a lot into.

    yah, they try to leave it off to move platinum tickets, but yah, they're probably trying to move more platinum tickets first.

    Do you know if they're going to release face value tickets?

    It said "Life is nothing but a dream."
    I've spent so many years in question
    To find I'd known this all along.

    Nobody knows.  They usually do in dribs and drabs as the event gets closer.  Best bet is fan to fan when it opens.  Which, nobody knows when that will be.

    That's not really how concerts work anymore.   They release what they want during the initial sale, and most everything left is platinum.   They goal is try to charge as much as they can for those tickets.   If the tickets don't move, then the price lowers as the concert date gets closer.  If they really don't move there can be significant prices buts right before the show (Sometimes going below face value).  I suppose once and a while there's releases of tickets that were on hold (ones not needed for promos, family, guests etc..), but those are usually also last second.

    It's all supply and demand now.  If the demand is slim the prices will get cheaper the closer to the concert date.  If demand is insane, not so much.

    There's so many platinum tickets for sale in Vancouver that I don't think will move, because they're not great tickets.  Lots in the back of the lower bowl kind of thing.  I'm guessing they don't turn on fan2fan until they sell more tickets, but how do they sell more tickets when they're overpriced for where they are.   You can probably get people to pay for platinum prices in the wings closer to the stage and floor, but back of the arena, not so much.

    I think with the EV shows I saw in seattle, some of them didn't open until a couple of weeks before the show.    Once it opens I think it becomes harder for them to sell platinum.

    I suppose the positive is how many of the seats are behind the 10c seats in Vancouver, so while there were some up closer, the majority seem to be behind which I guess is a good thing.

    I still think it's weird TM put all those tickets up at once.  Doesn't create artificial scarcity.   After the EV shows in Seattle last year where they didn't start posting platinum tickets until something liek a month after the onsale, so this one dumping them all for sale at once.  It almost feels like it's people doing it, and no an algorithm.

    It’s clearly price manipulation by TM and the band. They promised “up to 10%” being market rates and clearly for the east shows, they have no intention of approaching anywhere near 10% inventory being premium priced tickets nor establish a market rate. 

    If they were ever to dump 1500 tickets for an east show, that would drive down the unit price. For Van, it seems they are holding to the ten percent but they will not all sell many at that price. So any extra tickets that they do get at that rate is more gravy $$. They just jack the prices as much as possible and hope fans get desperate. It looks like they’ll wait a couple weeks before the shows to release F2F - to maximize premium sales and hurt fans needing to move their tickets by having a limited window to sell.

    I think now that more people are onto the games that TM plays, they will probably have to invent new ways to screw people over.

    I imagine it changes behaviour over the long run.   It used to be all about getting the tickets right away, because the only option after something was sold out was brokers/resellers.  Now they put limited regular priced tickets for sale at the beginning, hold back a bunch for platinum, and the best time to buy is right before the show.

    It's horrible for people that have to travel (who likes booking and paying for travel plans without tickets in hand) but for people that live local, that's the way to go.  Unless you live in a really dense place like New York, then there's probably no winning  :)

    I saw Madonna the other night in Denver. The standard price for the best lower level tickets was $570 from the time they went on sale until the day of the show. By early afternoon on show day, they dropped to $225. By late afternoon they were $160 and there were hundreds available. I doubt they all sold but the place looked packed anyway. I flew out without tickets because I knew the price drop was coming based on what I'd seen for past shows. I guess some people aren't willing to take the chance or even book travel
