I have resorted to some pretty shameful tactics which I am not comfortable discussing here.

Think outside the box.

Anyone know if Us Bank Arena in Cincinnati does General Admission seating? Reading conflicting reports, one says no bc GA is banned since the Who incident back in the day.

Also I am trying to buy tickets for me and 7 friends, anyone have any insight/past experiences to buying this many tickets at once? Is it even possible. Def don't want 8 nosebleed tickets, is 8 GA possible if I am on right at 10am?

Thanks so much in advance.

I got hit with the 15 minute wait too.

I ended up getting an OK seat location. Nothing like 2010, though.

4 hours later, i manage to get a single nose bleed ticket out of ticketmaster AFTER sitting on another 20 min wait for Milwaukee, at least im going? i guess?

still sitting in the wait for Moline, which already has 650 tickets up on stubhub!
wish there was a 2 ticket limit so more of us could get tickets at face value

:finger: to the assholes buying up 8 tickets pushing the wait lines longer and reselling them for over double the face value on stubhub, that is not the PJ spirit :shake:

I really wish you would judge me based on the content of my character, not the internet persona that I've created for myself.

What are you talking about? Within the first 3 replies two people said use the app over the normal website. Is that not a tip?
My mistake. "Use the app" is a real useful and serious tip. Can't believe I overlooked that

That wasn't a judgement. It was a statement of love.
