Wow! Do you get through ticket master or is there a different face to face place? I really wanna find one for MSG2

they come up on ticketmaster, but rarely. sometimes people will give a heads up on the pit if they are listing something.

Yeah, it was gone before I my login finished

Wow - that's crazy that there's only a seconds window to pick them up you must have got both extremely lucky and unlucky at the same time. Is there a thread to monitor on the pit to see drops?

prob got scooped by a bot

If not for my kids I would have entered the MSG contest

Also are there any way to trade tickets or no? Like if I wanted to trade Fenway 2 for somebody that had MSG 2 for example? (I know its unlikely anybody makes this trade but ya know, just in case lol)

ticketmaster knows all, sees all

Honor system, many folks here have traded before . I’ve done it a dozen times.

How do you do it though?

So how much do you think the tickets to MSG2 are worth?

I am willing to pay a lot but the show is still over three months away. That's a lot of time to get lucky with a drop on Ticketmaster, or a cheaper than usual stubhub ticket. Right now you could buy the 200 section for around $700. I would be willing to pay that (though I would hate it) as a last resort, but I dont know if things are going to get cheaper or more expensive as the show gets closer. What was the final value for previous MSG shows?

Im not sure if I should bite the bullet and just buy a secondhand ticket, or keep refreshing ticketmaster and stubhub for the next few months until the show is closer and then only buy one that expensive as a last resort. But if that is the best it will ever be maybe I should just bite the bullet and buy before things get even more expensive. Usually with these things, things drop before the show but if I remember right with last year's MSG show, it remained expensive forever.

Anybody know?

I would just wait. I think you will always have the opportunity to pay $700 or whatever, so might as well leave yourself the chance to get a better deal (and also a hedge against your plans changing and becoming unable to go that night).

That's good to know. That was my instinct, but I was also scared of September coming closer and suddenly they're all gone or all like $2000 or something

Not sure - are you a member of a Facebook group or parasocially know other like-minded PJ internet people? I came into a Las Vegas ticket to just get into the building by posting in a Vegas 10C group - I was looking to pay cost. Someone offered a ticket if I bought them a soda (their friend couldn't come at the last minute) and talked for a while about all things PJ.

Point being the prices of resale at Tickemaster are locked, so there wasn't enough demand for the supply available. I'd wait.

Reddit has been really concerned with Ed’s hats and some arm bandage?

Why have you been cheating on us with Reddit?

The tour can be boiled down to some of the following points:
- Ed sounds mostly good, several songs continue to be tuned down
- Dark Matter songs sound great live, especially Waiting for Stevie and Upper Hand
- Got to Give was only played once
- Tempos seem to be a touch faster than 2022/2023, but not as fast as some previous 2010s tours
- Some poor performances of lesser played songs, but overall the other stuff has sounded good to great
- The sets started as being a little formulaic but have really gotten funky lately

- dependable urination/snack break beginning at song 5
- be careful not to dilly dally past song 7 by the churro stand, however, as they have lately been throwing Daughter right in after the initial DM filth
