nothing on stubhub, so looks like the plan is working.

There's tickets for other shows though. Wonder how they're moving them.

The band released a statement that NY, IL and one other state would not allow the cure to restrict resales, so in those states there will be a secondary market

Robert, what is up with the ALL CAPS?
Not really on brand

Oh so we are all going to MSG to see this. Cool.

so at 3:45 pm, the missus texted me "i got this weird code from ticketmaster this morning… was that meant for you?"  i completely forgot that i also signed her up for the presale.  so i get in, and initially there was a pair in the last row, far corner, AKA worse seats in the house.  i hesitated for a few seconds, and they were gone.  not sure those were real available tickets, i suspect i would have gotten the "sorry, someone beat you to them" message.

anyhoo, can now confirm that the show it 100% sold out (not even singles)… except for wheelchair/accessible seating.  no, not going there.

I’ve done the wheelchair thing before. People do not appreciate the humor of you throwing down your crutches halfway thru and pretending the power of music has divinely healed you.

I had the idea for a dating site for handicap people to get free concert tickets
But it seemed like the backlash wouldn’t be worth it it

i'm in!!!

i guess it was worth keeping that browser tab open: they released side-view seats.  per the seating map i'm in line with the 3 or 4th row of the floor, but halfway up the lower bowl.  not a complete side-view.  whatever, i'm in.  yeay for tenacity and/or dumb luck.

That’s great Sweetcell! Good job

these both made me lol.  good work team!

in furtherance of the band wanting to keep this show affordable: the last 5 rows of the upper side-view tickets are $25 (might have been that all last-5-rows uppers were $25, can't tell anymore).  those are undesirable seats, but nice of the band to have such a price differential which allows financially-constrained fans to attend.

Ok the ALL CAPS is still getting on my nerves… but bold move!

So am I getting a $20 refund?

Also, Jules looks like he is not happy about your NY plans

I HAVE BEEN TOLD: StubHub has pulled listings in all markets except NY, Chicago, Denver (IE. CITIES IN STATES THAT HAVE LAWS PROTECTING SCALPERS). PLEASE DON'T BUY FROM THE SCALPERS

It’s kind of cool and funny how into this Robert Smith is….

I know, it’s like Jon Langford took over his account for the week

Also saw he was cheering on the striking works in London

I saw a pair in the front row up for over $3K

yeah, did the same thing
was 1155 in queue and got in
then snagged a $300 pit ticket and tried multiple credit cards/paypal and even signed up for Klarna, but could not complete the purchase

so decided to get on on my PC and the floor was $1100 and couldn't actually buy it??

I'm thinking some people were able to do resale tix, even though you were not supposed to and tixmaster cut it off??

seeing lots of floor seats at MSG on stubhub …jules did you get some?
