I completely disagree. It’s amazing how affordable they keep their tickets and they managed to cripple the secondary market for every show except NY and COL. Where by state law tickets must be transferable, so that out of their control. go check stubhub for their US tour. Go read up on what they did with tickets. It’s unprecedented really. Concerts that have a face value of $200-$400 is disgusting to me.
    Well good on them if they’ve came up with a system that has generally stopped scalpers making money, I didn’t know they had found a successful way to do so. It’s annoying that one of the shows they haven’t is NY. Still if the laws dictate that there it would have been better having a more expensive ticket face value for they shows and stopping scalpers that way, having affordable tickets for that show has just led to you and I’m sure many other fans looking at the secondary market where you’ll probably pay more than even the most expensive u2 tickets were officially from the same venue. I do applaud there efforts though for other locations.
  2. True. But I can’t think of any other Sold out act with zero tickets on the secondary market for sold out shows. Can you? NY and CO don’t count because of their laws.
  3. I regret to say that the best thing they should do is oversaturate the market to decrease cost. This is what U2 did on 360.

    They may in the fall. Who knows. There’s no perfect solution.

    I really really do hope you don't do that, you know for a fact that ticket drops and fan-tickets sells DO happen when the shows get closer! Don't give in to the scalpers!
  6. I sold one of my tickets for both nights of the Seattle 2018 show about two weeks beforehand. I realize that the supply/demand ratio isn’t quite the same but surely they’ll be sellers closer to the MSG date.
  7. Any luck with the Baltimore show, Nick?

    Fans like to despair.
  9. No chance. It’s not even on my radar anymore. I’m happy just to try to get in to msg at this point, which I will eventually.

    Agreed. Its a lottery. PJ do the right thing. I bought Radiohead tickets for $99 at MSG in July 2018. My U2 tickets were in the same month (July), section and row. Guess what, they were triple to what I paid for Radiohead, but it is what it is. Fans pay it. Its basically legalized scalping.

    Bruce and PJ keep it down. DMB to a point as well, but their tickets are creeping up now ( $125) every summer and the best tickets go to "platinum seats" , close to $350 a ticket down low. Ridiculous.

    The fact that PJ secured so many seats for their fan club is great IMO . Id feel the same if I missed out , but I would also be on the hunt for ticket drops etc. Also, Im still surprised its only 1 night. They usually do 2 at MSG, and sometimes a 3rd in the area, like the Meadowlands in 2010.

    Hang in there, I, sure you will be at the show.
