I was unsure about these tickets; I knew they were popular back in the day but wasn’t sure if they still had fans these days. This was their reunion tour and they last toured 9 years, similar to Tool’s recent tour. Anyhow, they didn’t mess around with any VF or presales. All shows went on sale on Friday morning. It was a busy 4 hours last Friday I tell you. Queues for every show took at least 30 minutes and not much was left at that point. However, the price range was $60 for cheaps and $200 for GA Pit tickets.
Eventually Ticketmaster caught on and instituted dynamic pricing, especially in Dallas, but if you got in early, everything was a buy. Since there were so many cities, you had so many opportunities to buy – NY, Boston, Houston, Dallas, Vegas, Seattle, LA, etc. They eventually added THREE additional Inglewood shows, which is unheard of since Ariana Grande only did like 3 there last time. So demand was definitely off the charts. Here’s how the Slack group did:
Usually it’s only 1 or 2 shows that are “hot” on any given day. For this tour, almost every city was a money maker, so you had over a dozen tries to get tickets. I haven’t seen a tour do this well since Ariana’s tour. Join my private Slack group to learn of these opportunities.
