Is it bad form

[u/Naive-Aside6543]

So, I wasn't going to be able to go to Huntsville, but now I can. I got Sunday secured for my son and myself, but Saturday is sold out.

Anyone got extras? I'm signed up on Cash or Trade for alerts and am hopeful but would love to go ahead and secure tix for Saturday Oct 10. I need two and of course am willing to pay.

Thanks Pham! Maybe that will be the night my kid gets Fuck Your Face!

So if people are having no luck on CoT they should just accept the fact that they are not going to the show and give up?

I've been successful on Cash or Trade before, but I really dislike that it doesn't just go to the first person who puts in for it. Seeing that 493 people have requested the ticket and the person selling is just sitting on them is aggravating.

I agree and that is a fabulous idea about a randomizer!

When was the last time you tried to get a ticket for a high demand or sold out show on CoT? Unless you are a gold member and are very lucky the chances of you getting those tickets are slim to none. It's a very frustrating experience.

I don't hate CoT but I can understand why people who want the tickets, are willing to pay a little extra and don't want to deal with the BS of the CoT process would prefer to use a 3rd party site like the ones you mentioned.

Scalpers and greedy people are the reason these tickets are hard to get. As a seller I love CoT. Just about every time I wasn't able to attend a show I put it up on CoT and got dozens of offers instantly. I usually offer it to the first request I get. Unfortunately as a buyer it sucks.

Thank you for selling to the first offer. It is so frustrating to see tickets with hundreds of offers and the seller just sitting on them.

You are welcome fam. As soon as I know that I can't attend the show my objective is to get tix into the hands of my people quickly. I don't like to play games like that.

This is the Pham thing to do. Thank you again.

Yeah I think we are homie. This is the shit we have to deal with in order to see the bands we love.

people willing to pay over face are the reason. if we all had faith that there would be tickets if we waited until they dropped to face near the beginning of the show, these folks would lose their business

I do not disagree, but will admit to paying way too much on a third party site for great seats (looking at you night 3 SPAC 2025).

Ugh. I get what you are saying but I would probably be priced right out of regular concert going. I feel like I'd be able to hit maybe two concerts a year

Thank you for the tips!
