This is a great point regarding aftermarket. The market fluctuates like crazy so you have to determine your price point and seat requirements and be ready to pounce when you see them - the great deals may only last a minute or two.

I use normally use Seatgeek and only payed $200 for Elton John & $85 for Paul Simon to sit in the luxury boxes at Wells Fargo Center with private bar/bathroom. Payed $75 for VIP at the Tower for Elvis Costello that included parking, open bar and dinner. Could have had a PIT ticket for RHCP at Citizens Bank Park for $63 when my friends all had payed $400 thru Ticketmaster. As Levi said you also have to be prepared to get shut out and find something else to do that night if things dont go your way.

Verified Fanclub sales are really a scam. Guess who gets the worst seat in the house?

Roger did two shows in Philly - first one was sold out, the 2nd one had many tickets still available at the box office. You can imagine the implosion on the secondary market even for good seats. Lower level seats were about $75 and forget about reselling uppers

I think the last time this happened you got a couple free tickets to "select shows" and a $4 credit off a future fee.

Any decent shows free ticket alottment disappeared almost immediately and choices left were nobody you had ever heard of. I ended up with 2 lawn tickets to Journey in Indianapolis that I gave to a co-worker and let the fee credit expire
