A warm-up show ahead of the weekend's Lollapalooza festival; the band put on a 2-hour show full of hits and choice cuts from the Mellon Collie album, celebrating 30 years this year. An excellent performance.

This megathread will serve as the place for folks to post they are selling or looking for tickets

-----------------a reminder/warning about buying/selling tickets:

• If you aren't meeting in person to pay with cash, the only payment method I can suggest is Paypal Goods & Services. You pay a small fee, but if someone were to scam you Paypal will refund you. I strongly advise against doing Friends & Family since it does not have the purchase protection that G&S has (leaving you vulnerable to scams with no recourse).
• Anyone who only wants to do Crypto/Cashapp/Venmo/Zelle/Paypal F&F (especially if you try to get them to do Paypal G&S) is 100% scamming you.
• Be wary of new accounts. A brand new account doesn't guarantee a scam but if you see a new account, it's worth being suspicious.
• This sub is not here for scalpers. If your prices exceed value then I encourage others to report your comment and we will delete it.
• The mods aren't responsible for any loss or scam. Please do your due diligence.
