I know not everyone can do this, but if you're in Vegas on a show day and don't have tix, you can try hanging around the venue closer to show time for price drops on the resale sites or ticket drops on TM from unused holdbacks going back in for sale at face. The concierge desk at the pedestrian bridge gate was replacing tix for people, and Vivid found us new (front row dead center 300s) tix when the original reseller failed to send ours by 8:15.

That's good advice, I have tix for Dec 9, but will be in town as of the 7th. Hoping to get a GA ticket for Dec. 8 so will definitely be hanging around to see what and if anything happens.
What time do you think I should aim for if the show starts at 8? Should I go as early at 6?
Looking for 1 GA ticket for Friday, October 20th. Thanks.
After we bought our tix, we immediately went to the pedestrian bridge an waited by the gate for the seller to send the tix. He never did, but my daughter got on a chat with Vivid support and they replaced our tix with prime front row 305 seats. Where they pulled those from I have no idea, but they are $400 face I believe and we only paid the $250. Got to our seats just as the band walked on.(8:30pm)
Does everyone around here pretty much buy tickets through U2.com? Or wait for public sale? I wonder what they demand will be like at this point?
Does anyone (who isn't going to do the GA number line up) have an extra GA ticket for 10/25. Someone I know who will be in Vegas on that day from Australia is desperately looking for a ticket. He would be able to walk in with you. Thanks!
I'm going to put a pair of GA up on the face value exchange at some point this weekend.
Let me know if your friend wants to try a timed drop so he has a shot to catch them before someone else notices.
Thanks so much! Would you prefer that he contact you via email or text?
Long story short and no this is not a bot or ai or scam for sympathy. I had 2 tix for Section 306 Row 6 for Oct 14th. I bought these tickets from ticketmaster and my wife and I were stoked to go. However, my mom had passed away just before that date and we of course cancelled.
I sold back the tickets to TM as I had no time trying to sell elsewhere. We did make a little more than our purchase, but it was not about the money.
I am trying to reschedule our trip to Dec 2nd and am on the watchful hunt to try and find similar seats and at no more than what I received from TM. I dont care to gain in the pocket, I just wish to regain the original efforts.
So, I watch and watch Vivid Seats and Stubhub and looks to me that we are very likely to regain very similar seats but at the risk of purchasing on the date of the concert as tickets are insanely high prior to the date.
My question is: if I chance it and risk it flying to vegas only to NOT have tickets, with hope that I will get tickets no higher than what TM paid me, how will I actually GET the tickets if I purchase that day via StubHub or VividSeats? Is it simply a digital ticket that I will recieve? No Worries as these sites are legit?
The risk with secondary market is the seller has to send you the tix by showtime. On show day, some of the larger re-sellers may not be monitoring all their accounts anymore.
I have not purchased from Stubhub or VividSeats before, will it be clear that the sale is for a digital ticket not a physical ticket or if physical its clear how and where to pickup (if its local)? Sorry for the dumb questions, just need to prepare.

Ridiculous! I got in queue at the start of the ticket sales today. I was # 15,789 in the queue. After 34 minutes, I finally was able to pick, but nothing was available except things at platinum and that was above my budget. But alas, StubHub has plenty for sale already and at unfrickenbelievable prices. Scalpers suck, TM sucks, long gone are the days for fans to get a decent experience without remortgaging the house!
Wouldn’t be surprised if the overhangs sell at a drip or get dynamically priced lower.
They could easily add more shows and sell them out if the overhang tix were $300.
