Weird that they dropped the upper deck close seats to $100 two days before the show for night 1 but seems like every other show has held a higher price. I wonder if all the LA coverage/Roxy/etc has gotten more people interested so they aren't dropping prices. I have tix for tonight, but was hoping to get singles for Wed, and it looks like it might be tough.

The tickets for LA1 had been discounted months back. We had seats in 231 row 15 that were $87.20 each ($70 ticket price and $17.20 service charge). I had bought those last December.
Those same seats are $118.85 ($100 + 18.85) for this Wednesday's show (LA 5).

Do some venues/promoters still hold back seats at the box office that they do not release to Ticketmaster?

Yes. But it's more common nowadays for those "Resale" (aka TM sanctioned scalping) tickets that remain unsold right up to the afternoon of the show to get released by the original buyers that then go back in the "pool" of last minute ticket drops that make up the majority of last minute tickets available at the box office.
Trying to decide if I pull the trigger on one of the last pairs of $280 uppers that are left or roll the dice for a GA drop or resale availability at the box office. Anyone been in the uppers for these shows?

No, that is about the row (13-15) where the break in price was. I was in the front row, dead center (209), I am 100% sure they were $280 seats up until a couple of days prior to the show.

Plan for Wednesday is to patiently wait for a GA drop, and if that doesn't happen grab some decent seats off ticketmaster or stubhub (below face).
The last 2 nights because there was no GA drop I went to Forum box office around 5:45 and got 2 tickets for section 109 row 9 (last night) and section 110 row 13 (Sat night)- just FYI. Face value and no TM fees.
Much pricier than GA obviously but great seats - don't pay for high priced uppers or on Stubhub - just go to box office.

The Wednesday show isn't sold out, which means, tickets on Stubhub will likely be going for under face value by the day of the show. It's a rare occasion, but I will take advantage of it.

There's suddenly not many tix left for Wednesday though.

Hmmm... that's odd. They'll probably drop them again at a lower price tomorrow.

Yeah, I expect they're trying to cover up the lack of demand for the resales sake.

One way or another, that arena will be full come Wednesday night. Not sure how they do it, but they do. I was at the Rolling Stones show in Columbus on Saturday. There were many tickets still left the day before the show. By showtime the whole place was full

So row 1 in section 209 was $100?
Correct. And the whole row was available when I got it. Most of us in those seats were singles.

Ticketmaster has updated the seating chart for the Chicago shows. And there are single GA's available for the June 29th show.

There's now just two pairs and two single tickets left as of the time of this post.
edit: And now not even half an hour later, all gone.

Is it safe to say that I can buy a ticket at the box office on show night? That's the plan for me, if I can't secure a GA.
Anybody ever NOT get into the show when waiting at the box office on show night?

Haven't posted in awhile, saw LA4 from section 102 row 6. We were right on top of the small stage. They spent a ton of time down there, what a phenomenal view. This tour is the best I remember in a long time. I first saw them in '87. Wanted to post a video clip from my phone but couldn't. Thx for all the great tips on tix, hope to see some of you in the box office line tomorrow!

Happened to me once for a June Boston show on Vertigo. Zero, zip, nada GA or seat. I was such a sad sack outside while the show was going on.

There's some $312 tickets dropping for LA5. A couple of rows and random singles. They seem to be popping up randomly.

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

Thx! I grabbed 227 row 7. There was a bunch of middle uppers row 7 that kept popping up (some were 2 next to each other, some singles).
