premium/platinum seating
 

a friend texted me she said they are doing this and the price rage is $325 - $1,245.00 each and sold only in pairs

i'm sticking with philly now. hopefully this won't happen with that venue, since tm redirects you to the wells fargo site. if anyone was doubting whether they could fill arenas, apparently these venues/tm think they can... this platinum seat thing must be relatively new. i've never seen it before on tm.

also, the whole 2 seat thing... i need 3. i mean really, this is more frustrating than initially anticipated. lol

Oh Well looks like my days of going to arena shows is over , I refuse to pay , now all those TM surveys i use to get asking what I was willing to pay and which sections i preferred was for this Empty seats say alot

check Bon Jovi. they have both platinum and VIPs. all at unbelievably outrageous prices.

They used to do it before, but they called them "market place" or something with "market". I actually thought it was discontinued because of threatened lawsuits saying that it was a conflict of interest for Ticketmaster to have these reserved seats, but I guess not.

It started a few months ago with GAGA and P!NK .... I can't wait to see what they are going to ask for MADONNA

yeah, this practice definitely sounds suspicious

and there was the auction they tried with Madonna

positive thing is - the currently offered platinum seats at these outrageous prices do not seem to be moving. :D

so hopefully they'll lower prices like they did with DC over the weekend (and those tickets started moving like crazy yesterday).

So only certain venues are doing the platinum seats, or are all of them?

No not all.

OK. Have the safety on, not pulling the trigger. But if all the California seats sell, I will be outside the theater, like Theodore Dreiser's Sister Carrie.
She succumbed to prostitution and I would hope to avoid that fate, but :distress:

I do think my concert days are over I refuse to pay over a $100 for a concert ticket unless they release cheaper seats for Mohegan Sun Show.I will be skipping this show unless If there is tickets available still by the time the concert gets here and have the xtra cash to do it and if available might go to the show but won't be buying tickets thru presales on date sales.Usually there are tickets available thru the show date so not going crazy on getting tickets since they are high priced for the only show I would go to will just start saving up from now thru april and if there is tickets available at that time will go otherwise will miss this tour.I will be bummed a bit and just have to watch the you tube clips of the shows people post. If you never seen them live go for it and enjoy the show it will be awesome.My money these days have more important places to use it for than a concert these days.If I do go this show it will definetly be my last concert to attend.

just please please don't blame me...... i might be wrong. :shrug:
