Now that prices are set, ticketbastard definitely won't reduce them, that would be an ego sting. They want to sell as many of those pricy seats seats out as soon as possible so they can get these 2nd shows announced, that's why they are all you can find when you search in most cases...
    My idea has been used in the past. You make a small percentage of the seats pricey, and a larger percentage affordable. It leads to quick sellouts where you can add shows. Very simple math. Sometimes when this strategy is used, the worst seats are all gone, and 300-700 empty seats are up front. This happened at a Prince show I went to, and they simply upgraded some with the worst seats and brought them down front.

    As you can see, they went with the exact opposite formula here and it's biting them in the ass and they are passing the misery along to us... I wasn't saying your idea wouldn't work... in fact, if you want to send TM your resume and lobby for COO position, I'll be glad to put my name down as a referral for you!

    It's very unfortunate they went with the theory they could price most of the seating in the arena at $329 (look at the Infinite Energy Arena in Atlanta seating chart) And as I mentioned, rather than admit defeat and reduce cost, they'll just hold the cheaper seats back and force the high tiered seats to get them sold. They know people will pay $329 before they pay a scalper double, if necessary... And they'll put blocks of them up on their resale sight for double face, too...

  4. Same. And then I switch to another connection and it works for one try. So they block you or something? Wtf is wrong with those people?

    Such a joke.

    I don't know. I gave up. One friend told me that he discovered you have to clear your cache every time you look for a new round of tickets, so maybe try that?

    It was like that last week.
    After like 4 hours I gave up and magically seats began to appear. I caved and bought two seating tickets.
    But never saw a single GA ticket
    I didn't clean my caché, I guess it was just that people stopped clicking refresh every 2 seconds by the hour

    Tried, no luck. Makes no sense regardless. This whole thing is as hard as they could make it for non scalping fans.
  8. Here’s crazy for you:

    Taylor Swift tickets:

    $1500 for VIP

    $799 for GA pit.

    agreed
  10. I have always wanted to meet the band, came close on 360, but now I don't want to. I still love them and other than family, and Prince, they are more important to me than you could ever imagine. I almost feel that Silver And Gold is about who they may have become, or perhaps Gary Osbum, the snake oil salesman has them betrayed like Judas with 10 Pieces of Silver ticket Codes that don't work. Good thing I'm not really mad or upset about my situation.

  12. This came today.
