Really curious who F1 will get for their concerts. Always big artists. I'd love to see Metallica or AC/DC

$250 for section 202 row 2. Which is a lot more than Floor GA but that is ok. I am not a tall man and didn't want to be staring at the back on someone's head the whole time.thenational said:
What'd you pay?
Yep, I was shocked at the price but I have been waiting forever to see these guys and they are genuinely one of my favorite bands.thenational said:
Wow! Concerts are ridiculous these days. It was nowhere near that for reserved at White Oak a few years ago to see them.

Guess I got took. I bought a "platinum ticket" yesterday (which doesn't seem to come with anything extra). Yesterday tickets in the 300s were like $180.
I am bad at this. Still excited though.

"What is a Platinum-ticket? Platinum tickets gives fans high demand tickets available for specific events. Prices are dynamic, regulating price and demand, which means your ticket has a matching market value. Ticket prices will vary from day to day, depending on the demand."
So basically a platinum ticket is one that Ticketmaster is able to scalp for whatever price it decides it wants to sell them at, on any given day.
TM platinum has been around for over a decade now. This isn't new.Aggie87 said:WES2006AG said:

It would be un-American for a business that controls the supply to not test the limits of what customers will put up with.

Just saw that they got all their gear back yesterday after someone stole their truck with everything in it.NMAlamoAggie said:
Got tickets to Lukas Nelson and POTR for March in El Paso. Never been to Lowbrow Palace before.
Yea, it was 100% the FOMO that had me panic buying. That urgency cost me few bucks but at least now I know to keep an eye out for Ticketmaster's "Platinum Tickets" when searching a venue for seats.Proposition Joe said:WES2006AG said:I really played myself on this.

You hardly played yourself - the entire system is designed to create a sense of urgency so that you don't pay as much attention to the details and/or often decide whatever you have is better than possibly nothing.
I don't know what your budget is but my advice would be to wait until the last minute to purchase and watch prices come down.JYDog90 said:
Any advice or recs on Stones tix at NRG? I'm taking my two boys(18 and 15), mostly to say that we saw them. I'm more of a fan than they are.
Follow this guy's advice, as a rabid concert-goer I've gone this route ever since the first time I got hosed by the same thing. Example, could have gotten floor Eagles tix last week in Houston for wayyyyy cheaper than resale on the afternoon of the show.johnnyblaze36 said:I don't know what your budget is but my advice would be to wait until the last minute to purchase and watch prices come down.JYDog90 said:

I paid $700 each for PIT for their last Dallas show at the Cotton Bowl a couple of years ago the day they went on sale. Then I checked the day of show and they were only $400 each on TM.
