I almost always get general sale tix for face value even if they are the worst seats in the house, just for the peace of mind. (If I haven't won the 10C lottery)

You can totally get better seats and pay just a little bit more...there are ways...but I just (usually) wanna get my tix in hand and not worry about it anymore.

I've regretted it a few times because I know better tix were obtainable, but I was in the building and didn't have to scramble for anything and so I was happy.

Basically it's also fear based for some people. Afraid nothing else will come available.

I'm going to get tickets now for one of the Fenway shows and just wait and try my luck for the other show the week before it.

Won Philly 2 GA and managed to score great singles in the 100s for both MSG shows yesterday. In the market for a Philly 1 ticket if anybody has...

If you ever want to know why anything - anything at all - seems fishy or out of place or fucked up or unfair or doesn't make sense:

Follow the money.

Rumor is public on sale starts 2/12. That would mean lottery opens tomorrow or so.

I spoke with my Cubs ticket representative yesterday and asked him about the Cubs pre-sale for the shows. He says they haven't even worked out the details yet.

I wish more groups would utilize the option to require concert goers to present the purchasing credit card at the entrance to the venue.

Nobody understands the only relevant metric is a SALE price not what something is listed for.

Does 10c still require you to buy a minimum of 2 tickets for a show through them? That was always such a garbage rule.
