Yeah it's not a pre-sale, its just the entire sale, as far as I know.

Its crazy the way ticketmaster uses "Premium" tickets nowadays. It used to be just the first couple rows but lately it includes some lower level sections and many rows of them, not just the first. It's just a way to sky-rocket ticket prices. So now there's tons of sections with $800 per seat tickets.... Not just for concerts, they do this for everything now. It's gotten worse and worse and worse, making it harder and harder to get good seats.

Maybe I panicked, but after 6 failed attempts due to "seats no longer available" I got horrible seating at section 208 for LA2.

Tickets for big concerts cost $150-$200 now.

I have the means but it’s a matter of principle for me. This isn’t the band I got into anymore.

I'm just here for the gangbang, really.

World inflation means future war

i feel like $200 isn't outrageous for a good seat. the prices i saw today were outrageous and not something i was willing to spend. i honestly debated how much legal trouble i would get into if i just physically pushed my way into the building lol.

LOL $600-900 for PJ tickets in 'regular' sections

$490 for upper deck! LOL

Nosebleeds back row upper deck prob view obstructed $175

yep. Indy seems to be the only show not part of the pre-sale right now and everything $755-900.

unreal.

and I don't even want to go to Indy.

what a bunch of assholes

I take back everything I said about Boom's pension plan

this is not like a handful of sections

the whole thing is a money-grab

this is very unsettling

I know these guys are checked out and corpo

but this is unconscionable

they should add more shows

if this is the math they came up with

they could add 3 more MSG shows

i'm still waiting for wrigley to go on sale to the general public, but it's not looking too promising.

That's the base price for every, non premium seat.

Every seat is $175.

The seats you see for $800 or whatever, are "premium" seats, the same thing as Ticketmaster's "platinum" seats. Those are 'dynamic' pricing seats which go by market demand, meaning they are just put up at a ridiculous premium. These used to be just the few best seats in the house, and now it has expanded to many lower level sections, its absolutely insane.

You'll also notice if you watch long enough they'll randomly put up a row of those, and ones will disappear and come back, because Im pretty sure they don't show them all at once, wanting to make things seem scarcer than they are and make people jump on them.

But this is not PJ specific, this is Ticketmaster, they do this for everything now. Its crazy.

the thing i can't shake is...i went through the 10c - like a lot of you all - but when it came time for me to select tickets i made the mistake of choosing GA rather than reserved. if i don't qualify for GA, based on seniority...fine...put me where you think it's appropriate. but to have me swing and miss entirely through the fanclub is really poor practice...on their part.

what is the point of paying annual dues for "exclusivity" in tickets to shows if you shut me out? i know i'm not the only person this happened to. and yes, i could've signed up for the verified fan sale...but bitch i'm in the fanclub. I have verified i'm a fan.

yes, i know that's not the point.
