As of 7:45PM the night before the show, StubHub shows 190 tickets remaining.

 

52 level 300 seats ranging from $115 to $225 (although 23 of them are on sale for crack smoking $5700+)

 

12 Level 200 seats ranging from $129 to $200

 

87 level 100 seats ranging from $134 to $565

 

39 Floor seats ranging from $184 to $601 (although one optomistic soul thinks he/she might get $1974 for two front row seats)

 

I'd imagine most of these go back for regular sale before the show.

 

Ticketmaster wouldn't put tickets on stubhub. It has its own 'secondary market' on its own site.

 

Those ridiculously high prices aren't intended to sell but are instead there to artificially inflate the average and median prices of resale tix.

That's great news, Glee. Glad to hear it all worked out.

Ticketstoday handles the presale and does not provide a print at home option.

Unfortunately I just found this on the ticketstoday website

I won't follow it live today unfortunately. I have the last two episodes of Mad Men to watch!

I have been fortunate enough to see most all these songs live several times...

 

For me it becomes more a question of not what I want to see most, but what do I want to see, most probably, one last time.

 

When I look at it this way...Between The Wheels and Red Barchetta stand out.

 

I went with C, which I'll get in Tampa. But when you put it this way, it makes it much more difficult.

 

It means deciding what songs I will possibly never see again. And the thought of never seeing Red Barchetta again is difficult to accept. It's a much tougher choice then first thought.

I would be concerned about that setlist's authenticity; in particular when paying that type of money.

From the article in the link posted above:

 

 

... These days it's Lee who is driving Rush forward. He wants to tour more. If he gets his way, the band will return to the UK and mainland Europe in 2016. Whatever happens next, he says, will be dependent on how the other two guys are feeling after the US tour: "If everyone's really digging it, the way I think we will, then we might carry on." ...

I will try to make it happen in St Louis!

You didn't try...you did. That was so awesome. Thank you for taking one for the team!

glad you enjoyed it. Wish I could find a recording if it somewhere. Of one pops up somewhere let me know!

 

If you Periscoped it, you should have had access to the video on your account for 24 hours.

I have always assumed that the dryers and roasters on stage were Rush making a humorous commentary (and slight jab) at those bands that have stacks of amps on stage by saying that the amps are as practical as a dryer or chicken roaster on stage.

 

Have I been incorrect and read too much into it?

These have been purchased and are no longer available. Thanks.

Oops. Sorry. They were bought this morning on Stubhub. They had been there for weeks and suddenly they sell. ???

Yep, I still have a pair for sale in Tampa. Face value ($154 each) in the section next to the stage on Alex's side. Row is R on the aisle.

 

Let me know if interested. Thanks.

I hope Los Angeles is the Z setlist

 

Is that the show where they only play songs that start with Z?

 

yes...Zosing It makes it's debut

Followed by Tom Zawyer

 

Zanadu is a the opener.

Bump to see if there is any new interest in a face-value pair of tix for Tampa.

Great pics. Thanks for sharing.

 

What row is that? Was that a DSLR that you used? Thanks.

I bought two extras for friends that won't be able to make it. Section 118 is the lower level section closest to the left side of the stage.

 

I have them on stubhub but will sell here for face value. With the fees they came out to $350 for the pair.

 

Let me know if interested. Thanks.

Looks like the rows are actually there but the map does not correctly have the white background begin with Row 1.

 

If you hover you mouse over were Rows 1, 2, and 3 should be, you'll see seats there.

 

Brian Griffin, The seat numbers seem to run sequentially in order from Section FLR-L,FLR-C, FLR-R. I'm seeing row 4, seat 15 in section FLR-L.

 

Could your tickets be in FLR-L? Otherwise, the seating chart is incorrect. I would assume your printed ticket is correct.

It sounds like I have to thank my lucky stars. I needed four for Tampa and was able to score two during the Tickets Today presale and two during the Ticketmaster public sale.

 

In both instances there was "nothing available" for 25-30 minutes but I kept hitting search repeatedly.

 

From TT presale I was able to get floor 3, row 7; on the public sale I scored section 118 (next to stage on Alex's side) row 10.

 

By the way, the Tampa show is a Sunday night, but it is Memorial Day weekend so Monday is a holiday.

They incur 100% of the risk of the re-sale while providing RUSH and the venue a guaranteed return. The scalpers know they are going to eat a certain number of unsold tickets, but will make up for the loss because many buyers will over-pay.

 

Complaining will change nothing. Voting with your pocketbook will. Stay home, or at least wait them out.

 

This is exactly correct. The promoters sell directly to resellers (prior to going on sale) to ensure they at least come out even and no show loses money. Any tickets that the public buys after that is just profit.

 

The resellers take 100% of the risk but know they will make a huge profit on some tickets and a loss on others.

 

I would add that promoters believe that the secondary market more correctly sets the prices for tickets. While the business would like to set ticket prices closer to the secondary market, it knows it can't do it overnight. But it will slowly get there. That's why we see select "platinum" and VIP prices. Ticketmaster also now allows the reselling of tickets at secondary market prices.

 

It's a way of getting consumers accustomed to ticket prices in the $500, $750, or even $1,000s. Once consumers are no longer feeling price shock, you can bet face values will reach that point.
