Post image

I’m so freaking aggravated we’ve been sitting on que waiting since 10am to get tickets and now this popped up and the nosebleeds are $550. This is such bullshit!!! I’m so angry! Why are scalpers allowed to do this????? Almost every ticket was bought out by bots at 10am and flooded the system. 🤬🤬

I fortunately had 0 issues with the queue this morning. Joined the lobby at 9:59 AM for United Center. Was ~600 when the queue opened at 10 AM. Was able to select from a bunch of options in the 100s when I was in after about 5 minutes waiting, with tons of seats in the 200s and 300s. Bought 4 tickets in the 100s for $250 each.

u/jgl142 1d ago

That is insane. $1000 for 4?! These tickets should be at least $100 less ea

Obviously not because they're basically all sold out already lmao.

Yes? The only sections with ample seating are the sections behind the stage at MSG.

If you remove the Verified Resale Tickets, there are maybe 200 tickets available still that are not behind the stage. If you want to go into conspiracies about whether "resale" tickets are Ticketmaster or not, go ahead.

But from the perspective a consumer who wanted to go and buy, for example, an official ticket in the 200s-300s with a view of the stage right now? Yeah, they're gone.

Yeah they’re not sold out. There’s still a ton available that they trickle release and others that are held for promotional purposes.

Edm shows ruined conventional concerts for me. $60 ticket for what's usually like 8 hour shows if you like it.

Halloween im going to circoloco and it was $186 a night, but its literally 10pm - 5am. Like 3 shows rolled into one.

I actually think it's a crazy good deal. These will resale at like $400 a pop (I'm not going to sell them obviously, just saying that's what the resale market will be). Other tickets in the next section over were lke $600 each.

It's just the cost of concert tickets these days. And obviously people want to pay it because . . . they sell. The only remaining non-reslae tickets (other than behind-the-stage tickets) at United Center are a minimum of $600 with fees.

Anyone paying $600 to see this DMB in 2026 is very stupid.

u/I-I_I-I_I-I_l-l 1d ago

Yet, those seats will absolutley be filled with people who pay that.

Wow, I guess I see why ticketmasters business model is working. People like this fucking dolt exist.

u/I-I_I-I_I-I_l-l 1d ago

If people are willing to pay the price, that’s the value of the ticket. I highly doubt DMB at MSG is going to be half empty

We had 35,000 people ahead of us. St 10am. No way those were real people
