    Nice. I just grabbed an N2 sec 105 row 4 on the aisle (you will have sat in my seat 2 days earlier Yakimatsu, haha!) ... but now I need to sell a sec 106 row 2 aisle seat for $289, which may not be possible any longer. This is getting stupid for me, lol. I just HAD to be 1 section closer to the stage even with financial risk involved. It's like a sickness!

    Seems like the extras keep getting closer to the stage. Maybe GA next. 
    Honestly, I could see this happening. And if someone snags a couple extra, I'd be happy to buy from them for either Vancouver show. I'll have spotty service at best today and be traveling tomorrow.

    Had to bite too.  Picked up 105 row 2 aisle nite 2 and 105 row 4 aisle nite one.  Hopefully wise works and people want a sec106 row 12 and floor row 17 aisle, otherwise...........
    Awesome seats!  Lower 5 digit 10C seats most places.
    I am amazed at these seats. Last 5 shows were pit and these SEATS are better.

    Looks like I’ll be sitting next to you for show 2! Will be nice to be around some 10 clubbers.

    It wouldn't seen likely. But they release, say 100 GA then that is 100 already paid for seats that get upgraded for shows that aren't going to be sell outs. They and TM won't care about who upgrades to GA and is unable to sell their current tickets.

    They have never to my knowledge, in the last 10 years at least, held back GA for any NA shows that had a 10C drawing. Sure they might do an extra draw for it to fill but that was all done through 10C still.

    I think you can choose to list it for less, right? List it for the $208 and you will have a much better chance.

    Anything you lose from being honest
    You never really had to begin with.


    Sometimes it's not the song that makes you emotional it's the people and things that come to your mind when you hear it.

    I know, just this year the ticket thing has felt very different and odd compared to past practices. I don't THINK they will drop more, but if it happened, I can't say I'd be extremely shocked either.

    Zero chance. Imagine the outrage.

    The plan with Premium seats is to allocate 10% of the total tickets, most are some of the best seats in the house, and only list a small percentage at a time in order to create a false sense of scarcity which manipulates buyers and drive up prices. When tickets sell, release another batch. When tickets aren't moving, lower the price. It's not a PJ model, it a LN/TM model that has become the ticketing industry standard. In fact, I expect many bands allocated a significantly higher percentage of tickets to Premium.

    No doubt this Premium model has confiscated many great seats that would have previously gone to 10C members. This week's "10C drop" was of held back Premium seats that were not moving at the pace the promoters would have liked/expected.  But in the PJ world, one section of seats has been completely off limits to Premium, GA. These are the best "seats" in the house and we must give credit to the band for insisting that they continue to go only to the 10C.

    I get that, definitely sounds legit. It's just that the process for 10C members to upgrade to these new amazing seats is flawed.  The standard TM seat can be exchanged through TM, 10C seats cannot . So upgrade at the risk of being stuck with the cost of the much less desirable seats at the back of the lower bowl for some. That needs to be fixed moving forward. Thus even these new seats moving relatively slow,  until the public gets access little later today.

    Nope, unfortunately fan 2 fan means you have to sell it for exactly what you paid. It is crazy that you can't sell for less than you paid, but that's how it works!
