I didn’t think i would ever have a harder time finding aticket to a show that PJ Hollywood 2, but i was wrong. Still looking for a ticket to Oasis in Jersey 10 months later. Only have about 50 days left. The four of us will rep our Pearl Jam shirts. Have flights,hotels and everything else booked. Just looking for tickets.
Same with me, but I’m still looking for Chicago tickets for Oasis. Just looked again today and cheapest tickets I found were $500 per ticket. That’s a little steep for Oasis as I’ve seen them five times. But got the hotel booked and day off… just looking for tickets.
It's tougher than finding Pearl Jam GA on Ticketmaster but Twickets is the Face Value exchange. It's an officially sanctioned company that does F2F for UK performances (concerts, theaters, etc) with different ticketing agencies (TM doesn't have a complete monopoly there....yet anyway). I didn't known until last year that they did US shows too. I haven't seen any for MetLife or Solider Field but Rose Bowl tickets pop up frequently. My group is going on Labor Day but I'm looking for a single on Sunday because I'm going a few days early to catch The Who Saturday.
This time might be different though, especially if there’s only a few shows (which is what I suspect will be the case). With no PJ on the horizon, more people may be willing to travel, and the demand for Ed and the Earthlings shows may be much higher than what we’ve seen in the past.
I think you are right. For instance, I am going to Coldplay in Nashville tonight. I was tracking the prices over the past few months, trying to get one more ticket since I was limited to 4 in the presale. I watched other cities and this one to sense a trend, and unlike years past, when regular people may have a change in plans leading up to shows, almost all resales are owned by brokers, who are controlling the market, raising the tickets closer to the event rather than trying to let them go closer to face.
I think this is the new trend for in demand shows, similar to how they broke the system for F2F for Miami and Pittsburgh in spring.
