UK_GNR Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) I see that the Pit tickets for Minneapolis that I paid $250 are now on sale at Ticketmaster (not resale) for $375 and the Arena tour pit tickets are circa $600. I suppose basic economic principle of supply and demand, but a bit "stubhub" to increase the official price on the same show. Make it rain..................

Tourettes2400 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Yeah and it is some bullshit. Plus they are doing something weird with the pit tickets. Maybe they are holding them and releasing them slowly. I never saw them on any of my pre-sales and I had every code and card that you needed. This morning they were selling pit one for 350 a piece,but you had to buy 2 of them. I only want 1 so I didn't buy anything.

Original Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 All about demand. We've seen shows where TM does a fire sale and prices plummet to move product. And now as shows are basically sold out they jack prices on the few remaining tix. It is what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UK_GNR Posted July 28, 2017 Author Share Posted July 28, 2017 It clearly is supply and demand in play as El Paso show the Pit tickets are down to $132. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tourettes2400 Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Yeah, I have been following a few shows. I was just surprised they went up from 2016 Edited July 28, 2017 by Tourettes2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Original Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 For Jovi last spring I paid a lot - like $400 per ticket for row 4 center aisle, that was months before show. My buddy and wife bought day before, 1 row behind us for like $75 each LOL. And I'm serious. But hey- it was my wife's Super Bowl and we weren't gonna wing it like our friends did. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the flipside, Detroit tickets at every level have been lowered and they'll keep going that way until (hopefully) demand and awareness increase at the last minute. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going by myself so I might just wing it lol. My wife cares nothing about going and I don't want to buy tickets for 2 so she can complain. 2 minutes ago, RussTCB said: This.

I hope prices continue to fall lol. I am just pissed about the way they have handled the pit tickets for the newly added dates for this leg of the NA tour. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Original Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 Concert tix and availability are becoming like airline tix. Prices and flights and seats are like a yo yo. Just need a little patience and luck. And be willing to play the game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31illusions Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 At my upcoming show Slash side tix were never available (yet). Duff side tix are 600 and you gotta buy 2. I might call TM at some point to swap for a Pit ticket, maybe closer to the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Comstock Posted July 28, 2017 Share Posted July 28, 2017 (edited) Tickets for the Vancouver and Gorge shows are still the original prices, and there's tickets in every about section available, including pit at the Gorge show. Gotta think those will see a price drop. It's unfortunate that they upped the prices but give lesser performances. $600 for an arena pit ticket it fucking unreal though, is it in some VIP package?

Popular Post Italian girl Posted July 29, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted July 29, 2017 Fortunately in Italy this type of things (still) doesn't exist. Each section has its price and It doesn't change! This should be a common rule everywhere, to respect fans. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect they are not going to sell a lot of these early tickets in small market areas, meaning they will start slashing the prices pretty quickly. Well, that is what I am hoping for lol. I have already seen it happening to some of the shows that have been on sale for a while. Edited July 29, 2017 by Tourettes2400 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
