geddysgal13 Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 For $3,100 Rush had better be playing in my living room. Those prices are ridiculous. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kingdirk Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 These are likely sourced from season ticket holders for the facility. While they may not have the actual tickets in hand, they are entitled to concert tickets as part of their annual membership. Remember that StubHub does not sell tickets...they only facilitate the selling of tickets. These are from people who already know they will get them. I'm not an advocate for this practice nor for StubHub, but of all the resell sites out there, I've never had any issues with them. These prices will come down...especially when the sellers can't get their prices. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

losingit2k Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They had that for the Tampa show as well. I think those are season ticket holders for the venue that are not going to RUSH and allow Brokers to sell their tickets. That's the only way that these brokers can know the actual location of these seats. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhyta Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 They were doing the same thing for the Salt Lake show today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dtpoet Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 (edited) A vast majority of people do not realize that this is a possibility. It sucks and I'd still like to know how this works. I really like to see an in depth step by step. For example if I have specific seat as a hockey season ticket holder and Mr. smith has the same exact seat as a basketball season ticket holder, how does it work for concerts? Does he get priority over the seat or do I? Do we alternate shows? I'm curious how this works. Edited January 31, 2015 by dtpoet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm curious how this works.Greensboro usually only hosts NCAA basketball tourney games, and I don't think any major university or professional team plays at the coliseum. It must be people who own season tickets for the coliseum for ANY event that occurs during the course of a given time frame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garyg7133 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 I have an acquaintance who is one of the biggest brokers in NY. I once asked him about this and his response was " we will ALWAYS get seat listings before they are available. Sometimes it is from the venue or artist and sometimes it is from the people who hold memberships. Either way, we ALWAYS get the seats ahead of time" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wingmaster Posted February 1, 2015 Share Posted February 1, 2015 For $3,100 Rush had better be playing in my living room. Those prices are ridiculous. Shit, for $3,100/pp I expect them to treat me to dinner, play in my living room, and have one of their lackeys give me a foot massage during the performance.

The fans are the last people considered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
