did you see NJ???????

Chicago almost looks "reasonable" compared to NJ.

it's market driven, it will go down if nobody buys these.

happened with DC - went down after nobody bought the initial round... so people bought a bunch... which drove TM to offer more and prices went back up to more ridiculous.

i'm sticking with my 30th row DC ticket.

Now, you've got me all flustered. Do I assume that no one will buy the California shows at those prices and hope Ticketmaster will knock them down in a couple of days or will people buy them at these $2000 prices and will I be out in the cold, standing on the street corner hoping I get a glimpse of a FM limo as they enter the concert venue that I can't attend?

Obviously, if a fan buys at outrageous prices and then they go down a few hours later, it will only add to one's depression. Better to pay through the nose, but know that was all that was available and be able to justify it to yourself.

No, actually I will say that fluctuation is a good thing. Lots of times with Stub Hub or Barry's Tickets, you see the tickets sitting there and they are NOT selling, but they won't lower the prices. If they DO lower them, they wait until just a few days before the concert to do it, but mostly they don't. They will leave those tickets unsold rather than change the pricing. At least Ticketmaster isn't doing that and moves with the market -- well, once you ignore the fact that the tickets are 10x overpriced in the first place.

Lol aww, don't let it come to that! But, if I'm honest, I'd rather not go than not have good seats. What is the point if they look like ants on stage... Maybe for some people I wouldn't mind, but this is FM.

Come the 17th, I'm buying my tickets. I have a budget and I'm not going over it. Whatever I can get is what's happening. I swear to God, if I don't hear Frozen Love, SOTM, or Angel, I'm breaking up with them... This is an emotionally abusive relationship.

Right I like to see them. I like to see their faces more when it's FM than I do in the solo shows.

Since the Amex Presale was a bust at getting any seats in the 1st 3 sections I was hoping to try for the next presales on Friday. Pittsburgh has 3 listed. Internet, Live Nation and Live Nation Mobile App Presales. Obviously the Mobile app I can access from my Ipad. Anyone know or used the Internet or Live Nation Presales with any luck? Do you need passwords. Thanks for your help...the waiting is killing me...I REALLY want close on this tour!

me too. i tried for pittsburgh tickets and was disappointed at the seats available.

olive · #53 12-12-2012, 01:48 PM

If this is any thing like P!NK GAGA or the Who all the seats from the stage to the middle of the floor and the 2 sections on the side ALL those SEATS are Premium and will not pop up in any pre or regular sale , maybe FM will be different but we ( there are 7 of us) have been searching for good seat to the 3 i mentioned and nothing has shown up I've given up 650 for a seat for pink and 275 to stand , my day of arena shows has ended ,

I will beg to differ on the Pink and Gaga tickets. I got 8th row for Pink on a presale and General Admission for Gaga on a presale. Both fanclub presales.

Please dont put all artists in the same category.

8 th row where ? there are no seat in front of the stage for PINK the seats start in the center of the arena after the standing /pit area and there are plenty of gaga GA tickets as a premium seat along with VIP packages which will give them preference to the front of the stage before the $49.50 ticket holder , and what category is that? ... it's the way Ticketmaster does business

8th row for Pink in Boston. Gaga GA tickets in Boston were not part of a package. Got both seats on fan presales. Now they are offering premium platinum seats as well. Not even going to argue that Ticketmaster screws everyone. GA has nothing to do with Ticketmaster. It has everything to do with the artist.

Lets hope that we all can at least get seats for FM this year and we can all be happy
