TICKET DROPS thread

[FitzChivalry]

Happened to me in 05. Waited at the box office and was never able to get a ticket to the 2nd Anaheim show.

I was in that line too. Didn't get a ticket either. Too bad I didn't know you back then; we could've kept each other company!

You broke the rules

Oopsie.

A word of warning about TM tickets for the last show in LA - it appears Ticketmaster is purposely limiting how they are "releasing" tickets right now, only making uppers available in an effort to sell off the harder to fill seats in the nose bleeds first before putting up the remainder of the best seats probably in the morning. Worse, they are selling off the better uppers for the steep $312 price. This show had by far the most available tickets of all 5 days of the Forum stand up until this weekend when TM "pulled" most of the remaining available lower loge seats.

Obviously, those who are nervous about waiting 'til the afternoon on the day of the show to snatch up great lower loge seats or get a deal should go for what's available now but if you can hold out, imo, much better seats and maybe even a few GAs will show up tomorrow afternoon.

 

[Chrisedge]

That is what I am hoping for...I will not over pay...

 

[jbmurray]

Patience. I will get a GA tix tomorrow!

 

[bono_212]

Yeah, I don't buy it for a minute that this show is sold out. Not when there were so many tickets left up until Sunday.

I have never done this before, but I think I'm just gonna show up and wait. I'll get SOMETHING, right?

 

[trojanchick99]

That's my plan as well. Ticketmaster is tricksy.

No Ticketmaster has added some lowers into the rotation.

Yeah - I've had a laptop with the TM page open all day & have been watching the blue activity since it first significantly lit up around noon. At one point, for a very brief window of time, those upper levels were at $100 + fees. Then they bounced back to $280+. Clearly, manipulation BTS & I'm gambling on a handful of GAs showing up tomorrow. For all of us still in need! I have YET to see this show! Hurts when you're broke.

Looks like all the tickets that disappeared late Sunday night/early Monday are now back in the TM pool.

Ticket drop for London 6, alot of upper deck seats have been released.just when you think the gigs sold out ?

 

[rennowba]

Same for london 5 aswell. More upper deck seats released

 

[jrjunior31]

LA5 some scattered uppers with not as many middle sections and the price is still $312. Saw one WC row lower section seat popping up last night but haven't seen any lowers yet today, maybe too early still.

 

[Edge_fan]

Any idea if Denver will have a drop?

 

[gareth brown]

Same for london 5 aswell. More upper deck seats released

Cheers for the heads up mate

 

[Chrisedge]

Not a single seat right now for tonight.

Keep the page up. It'll refresh itself. Tickets have dropped in and out throughout the day.

edit: I see five seats currently available.

 

[hibricc]

Not a single seat right now for tonight.

Just keep hitting "Reset". Top price singles have been available almost all day.

 

[trojanchick99]

Yeah, the seats have been dropping in and out all day. In section 211, they just keep moving the available seat up and down row 7. It's rather comical.

[Chrisedge]

Yea, I have been watching. Ain't gonna pay $312

 

[hibricc]

There's actually a lower seat in 114 rotating in and out. Last row of the section... but $312.

 

[Chrisedge]

WheelChair seat in 112! (no)

 

[taytay8b]

$115 lower level tickets dropped for Montreal 3 & 4

 

[jrjunior31]

WC Lowers on corners for LA5 popping up suddenly, just saw 4 lower sections WC row at once, haven't seen that all day. 312$ price.

 

[martha]

It's not nearly as full tonight as it has been the other nights. Where all these people are that bought all these tickets is a mystery.

So good to meet you in line tonite -- and glad you got your song.

Tonight's drop at the box office was much later than previous nights. They kept claiming that they were not going to get any more tickets to sell. Security periodically announced "one ticket left" (it happened at least three times over the course of an hour and a half) -- but pairs in the lower bowl finally started dropping in at about 7:30p. We got Sec 109 Row 13 for $285 each, no fees.

So was there large chunks of empty seats?

Sorry, this won't be strictly ticket drop (expect so as people discuss LA5 on Thursday):

I can't believe LA4,5 played so hard to get. No GA drops even for LA5 on a Wednesday. And it sounds like even though LA5 had empty seats, they did not reduce price below $285 for lower bowl. Ouch.

Hopefully this is unique to The Forum management.

 

[bono_212]

It was really depressing, let me tell you. They ended up sending us away by song 4.
