178965 suck it



Guess this is karma for laughing at Taylor Swift people during that tour

I'm also trying the Vibee travel packages but my wait went from "over 1 hour" to "over 3 hours" since I opened the site

I can get to the page to join the Queue but not actually into the queue.

It's all the bots and scalpers. Oh well.

In at 226573, better than Monday. I had hoped signing into Ticketmaster an hour ahead of time and sitting on the page for the queue would help, but they booted me out of there just before the sale started.

I gave up after yesterday
If I want to see this show, I will have to do so alone without my main group of concert friends (they can't afford this even without scalped prices) and at a very high cost. I'll still think about it.

Very disappointing. I was done seeing Metallica with the exception of a Sphere show.

The Sphere is highly priced for everything. They are showing The Wizard of Oz there almost daily and the cheap seats are still around $140 for that.

Tickets are now very limited for this event and are likely to sell out before everyone in queue reaches the sale. Check back another time as newly added tickets may be released for sale closer to the event or other fans may list their tickets for resale.


Yeh, up yours Ticketmaster.

Yeah, like that is going to go any better.

This is utterly absurd - an hour in, and I'm at 167000 from a starting point of 183000. Why is it so slow?

I am SO glad I opted to do that last week. At the time, I thought it was iffy.

I'm under 50,000 for a one day ticket, but it's only going down quicker because there are no tickets available.

I got under 700 in front of me and Ticketmaster kicked me out and made me rejoin the queue.

Does anyone know what the cheaper face value tickets were going for? I’m guessing $1,000 for the cheapest?

I think the 400 level seats at face value are around $150-200 each, but I've never gotten far enough along in the queue to actually see the prices. The cheapest resale prices I've seen are over $600.

Congrats, how did you get in?

I tried again a little while ago and it either tells me I had to prearrange to order tickets (I did) or it accepts my code and tells me there are no tickets available.

Nice! What was your starting number in the queue and how long did it take?

After seeing this thread I looked up Eagles tickets there just for kicks and the cheapest seat was right at 1000 bucks so you are correct.

I think I'll pass
