Its not that they have a ton left at the box office. Stubhub is doing the actual giveaway. Stubhub allowed buyers to cancel their orders last year after the postponement, while honoring their deal with the sellers.
So, its Stubhub's inventory, not TicketMaster/LiveNation.
Has anyone tried to get these in other cities? If so, how was the line and what kind of tix did you get? Did you have any kind of choice? Thanks, any info would be helpful.
