MSG was a make up show from 2020, 10 club seats had been allotted already. The new dates were where the fan club got shafted location wise.
Gotcha. Interesting and not great!

that's fair.
i also can't blame an artist for thinking that money that should go to them goes to the secondary market.
it's a lose lose - but i have minimal fault with anything Pearl Jam have done. they're still about as fan friendly as a major touring act with their pull can be.
There are people who are going to bitch No Matter What. Foo Fighters are limiting ticket transfers and forcing resale into a Face Value marketplace on ticketmaster for their headline shows (not festival appearances). IMO, this is preferred for in-demand shows from major artists...
So of course, people are complaining they can’t send tickets to friends or will have to try and sell them if something comes up. Detached from the reality that this is the only current way to keep ticket prices in a reasonable place, sticking ticket buyers with the tickets and cutting out the resale factor. If you’re a veteran showgoer, you can navigate the resale and fan sites (and social media groups) to find someone with an extra at the last minute. For 99% of the public, that isn’t the case. And if the acts are trying to benefit the public, the transfer limitation with Face Value Marketplace is the best option available right now.
Of COURSE there are workarounds (buy 2, sell 1, walk in with the buyer), but that isn’t going to happen en masse on Stubhub, etc.
::steps down off soapbox::
allowing people to transfer their tickets day of show to go to the box office and transfer the tickets to Will Call in person would conceivably solve a lot of those issues. it's not fool proof - but it would things significantly harder or the bigger ticket resellers to pull it off.
you also have cases of resellers selling whole email addresses + passwords as a way of getting around the limitations. if there's a will there's a way. but we should make that way as difficult as is humanly possible.
Bruce and Bobby Jean no longer like the same clothes
Silvio survived?!??
WE HAVE PRICED TICKETS TO BENEFIT FANS AND OUR EFFORTS TO BLOCK SCALPERS AND LIMIT INFLATED RESALE PRICES ARE BEING SUPPORTED BY OUR TICKETING PARTNERS
still doing verified fan though. have you seen any info on actual prices?

Back to our regularly scheduled program about platinum and dynamic pricing and other ways Bruce and EdVed and the like are sticking it to their fans...The Cure has announced a US tour and has included this language on their website:
Curious to see how this shakes out.
THE CURE HAVE AGREED ALL TICKET PRICES, AND APART FROM A FEW HOLLYWOOD BOWL CHARITY SEATS, THERE WILL BE NO ‘PLATINUM’ OR ‘DYNAMICALLY PRICED’ TICKETS ON THIS TOUR
bruce springsteen's ticketing backlash walked so the cure's ticket policy could run
i do think the backlash from springsteen and taylor swift's fiasco will lead to some changes in how things are handled, at least short term.
but long term? yea, they'll pop back up again.
This was exactly my thought process for March 27Bruce getting covid NOW effectively keeps him from having to postpone any NY/NJ shows in the first 2 weeks of April due to covid.
