Sorry to hear. Did you get to go to any show? They'll be back, no way they only do 2 legs.
So did it seem a lot of people in the line got tickets, or most didn't?
Yay! Glad to hear this.
And yep, those were two different scalpers.
This was my favorite alleged scalper. Allegedly.

I did get to go to one show. I was just hoping for a second. There were a decent number of $280 that if you were early and willing to pay that you probably got in. I would guess the 280 offer went back to 70 or 80 people. I really hope they do another leg. I'll be buying many more tickets at the initial sale next time. Did anyone else feel like tickets this tour, in NY at least, were especially hard to get?

But. But. But the list is all powerful and all knowing. You just cursed your bloodline for a century for daring to disregard a list.

Hi!
So I really wanted to she the last show. I already saw 3 for which I had the tickets. But for the last show my friend and I decided to go try the line and get some tickets.
So we got there quiet early around 3 and waited.
First they came selling the $280 tickets. They were really trying hard to sell thwm kept asking everyone in the line who wants to buy. After selling some they came out again and were asking again all of us if anyone wants to buy for $280. They even said they only had one more left. So of course even that one got sold. But a lot of us was waiting for cheaper tickets. We were 43rd in the line, so very close. And after all the $280 people left the line we were like 25th. So we had a good chances to get next tickets.
Later I went for a smoke and when I was coming back the guy came back but to the middle of the line. They skipped the whole front of the line. I heard them talking about $100 tickets. So I asked why they skipped us and if I can get ot. And they told me that they started where they fibished before. Because we said no to $280 tickets we don't have a choice now. WTF?! We were therr much earlier and that's what they do?!
So I ran to tell my friend to go there in the back of the line (I couldn't because the guy would know I was suppose to be in the beginning after talking to him about this BS). So we were lucky, he pulled my friend out of the line and she went to buy the tickets. And she got the last 2 for $100. They only had 10 of them. When she came to get me outside the guy was selling $280 tickets again.
We got great seats in section 2 in the 1st row. The concert was amazing but this while thing with the line was just so stupid and wrong. The security guy kept saying who comes first serves first but that was not the case.
Just very wrong but I'm glad we got the tickets and feel sorry for those who haven't.
Now 2chord I hope you can relax. Good work 3 out of 3 you won?
By the way I was in Sec 201, Row 1 and in row there were 6 empty seats. After 12 songs people filled in a few of them, but they were just getting closer, they weren't the seat buyers. I saw a lot of dead rows too, maybe I was looking at places they don't sell...
So I'm sorry fans didn't get in, but My guess is scalpers bought them and people said FUCK YOU to them. Or those 6 people died tragically on the way to the concert.

Oh. I wasn't judging. This was definitely an instance to use Headache's catchy line regarding lists.

I stood in the cancellation line for MSG 8, didn't get there until 7pm as I was not planning on going to the show. I was quite prepared to get a cheap seat and I had a few people looking for me throughout the day for one too. Scalpers, at showtime were still wanting $250 for the 300 seats. I toyed with it as I reckon I could get on the floor once in the building, but it wasn't guaranteed. I offered him $150 for a GA, he laughed at me and said they're $450, I laughed back and said they would be worth fuck all in 20mins So i went to footlocker, bought some trainers, met the Mrs and treated her to a meal at Virgils instead.
I bow to you
I was happy with my U2 fill after the Cutting Room, so kudos to you too!
Glad you had a great time. We all sure as hell did.

I wasn't planning on drinking much Wednesday night.I should have added that with the 'change' we went back down to the LES, got absolutely wankered in a dive bar until 4am, with a great barman talking about shit movies, all the garbage on the streets, Robert Plant, David Bowie, scalpers (they do that for all shows why are u2 fans crying?) and he had obviously no idea what we had drunk and gave us a tab for $40 that was probably at least double that.
Domo, so yes we won!
