Bad Bunny is one of the hottest artists today and his tickets went on sale last Wednesday for a tour in 2022 (means a long time to float money.) I had notified the Slack group about the opportunity. I went and tried to pull some Brooklyn tickets; my Ticketmaster queue was horrible and by the time I got in 40 minutes later, the only seats left were the upper deck. I had no confidence in those $80 tickets (I figured he would add shows if it was a hot ticket,) and I had been burnt with cheap Ariana Grande and Jennifer Lopez tickets a few years ago so I decided to pass.
Sure enough a day later, he added shows and I was happy I passed on the tickets. Then oddly enough, by the time the public tickets went on sale on Friday, hardly anything was left. I then checked Stubhub and my jaw hit the floor. As I’m typing this on Sunday night:
I’ve never seen anything like this. I’m not sure if he’s just THIS popular or people are just thirsty to go see concerts or most likely a combination of the two. While I regretably passed, some of my Slack members took the risk and this is how they fared. So it seems that tickets are back and better than ever.
How do you sign up for your private slack membership?
I usually open up slots at the beginning of the month.
So far for me reselling our college football tickets is coming back full blast; for 2 of 6 home games already sold all of my 10 season seats and parking. Baseball is in 2, 4, 5, and 6 person pods based on your season seats spread out widely, those are reselling well too because supply is limited. I’m grabbing concert and various opportunistic tickets whenever possible.
