also, quick question. Can you buy the Wheelchair accessible seats if you don't actually need them? I know that is horrible. LOL. But they are pretty damn good seats, front row of the upper section.

Or, more likely, sometimes you think you turned off resale when you really didn't.It was without. But here's the thing . . . .
I just went back to check (about an hour later), and the available tickets are about half of what was listed earlier. I've found that this is what happens on Ticketmaster -- available tickets go up . . then down . . then up again. It's weird.
Even with the lower count, if you'll note (at least on my screen) the available seats (rows) for the upper section gets cut off at a certain point -- implying that the rows further up are blocked off for sale at the moment.
This may be the reason for the discrepancy. Sometimes the higher rows are open for sale and other times they are not.
I admit it's a poor hobby. But ever since I repeatedly started checking out available tickets for the 360 St. Louis show I became aware of how seats are sometimes available on Ticketmaster -- sometimes they're there -- then they're not -- then they are again.
I eventually picked up a lower section ticket for the St Louis show, but it was after two weeks of peeking at the site . . . and the ticket I purchased suddenly became available on the same day I purchased it (which was great because I was going to buy on the other side of the stadium not realizing I would have been sitting in the heat with the sun in my eyes for awhile -- I got lucky there).
So the enigma continues . . . .

Did some counting because I'm bored at my in-laws, and just killing time until my wife says we can leave. I'm not some deadbeat husband or anything. It's just her, her mom and her sister talking in the kitchen, my kids and her sisters kids playing, and me... sitting here.
Louisville has 6,226 unsold seats. That's covering the ENTIRE stadium. 1900 floor tickets remain unsold. I imagine they'll sell half of these tickets, and that the stadium will look pretty full by the time people show up.
Pittsburgh has 5,093 unsold seats. But not really. In the upper decks, on the sides, more than half of the tickets haven't even been released for sale yet because they're trying to sell the fronts of those sections first. I only counted one side, and the other side looks similar to it. So I surmise that there are roughly 10,000 unsold tickets for Pittsburgh. 2,623 of those are floor. They NEED to slash these prices if they hope to have a halfway decent crowd there.
Both of these are without the resale tickets. ONLY the blue dots. And then in Pittsburgh what's behind the blue dots that haven't been sold yet. (If they had been sold there would at least be SOME for resale).

Maybe on the 12th during the Universal Canada event?
There's still nothing mythic about Pittsburgh

Trollling more rock shows on Ticketmaster today. I saw Incubus, who has Jimmy Eat World and Judah and the Lion playing with them.
I checked a couple random shows.
In Virginia, the place holds 25,500 and they have 16,500 tickets left
In New Jersey, the place holds 17,000 and they have 6300 tickets left
In Cincinatti, the place holds 21,000 and they have 10,000 tickets left.
So U2 having a few thousand seats in a few 50-60k seat stadiums is nothing.
Maybe on the 12th during the Universal Canada event?
Sorry for the ignorance, but there's a Universal Canada event?
Thanks, I assume I skipped through the Universal Canada part.
U2 is doing better than Incubus and Jimmy Eat World. So I guess they've got that going for them. Which is nice.

I think the bigger point is that rock shows in general are in the shitter. So U2 still seems to be defying that gravity. GNR, Kings of Leon, Metallica, and other well known smaller bands are sitting with half sold venues. RHCP are doing well selling arenas, and I'm sure Green Day will sell well. But it's tough out there...
