And continual warnings as each day sold-out.

but the real question is will it be the same show, or close to it, on each night . . . or one gigantic concert comprised over four nights with each evening as one individual set? and the seth speaks so to say what . . .

this is what bothers me about concert-goers. people wait weeks and weeks, either due to lack of funds or because they're simply lazy and way too optimistic. but then, the second tickets sell out, they feel somebody OWES them face value tickets, and anybody selling above face value is a dirty rotten scalper who screws all the fans over and prevents them from getting tickets.
no, you're ignorance prevented you from getting tickets. next time, buy them on time, and you won't have to pay secondary market prices.

Maybe a little harsh. The guy can get pissed about missing out while not necessarily blaming anyone else for it. I do it all the time. It's the game of Black Cat Chicken I play to avoid the ticket fees.

i don't feel i'm owed tickets, i sat on my hands on this one. i'm not blaming anyone but myself here, i'm slapping my face with a pan.
i'm just frustrated, this is like the 3rd concert

There will probably be some setlist variation from night to night.

You know, some people also wait because it's difficult for them to make concrete plans weeks or sometimes months in advance.
And anybody who tries to make money on tickets for sold-out shows
is a "dirty rotten scalper". If the price is driven up by demand, like people bidding on eBay or even people competing for spare tickets outside the venue on the night of the show, that's another story. But people who buy extra tickets for the express purpose of selling them to make a profit are complete jackasses, and people who just happen to have an extra or two they want to get rid of and decide to try and make some money on them because the show is sold out aren't much better. When I see tickets on eBay for Damien Rice with buy-it-now prices of over $200, for example, it makes me want to track those people down and punch them in the fucking face.
No one feels like they're "owed" tickets, just common courtesy.
On a completely unrelated note, you don't often see someone use the contraction "you're" instead of the possessive "your". It's usually the other way around. Interesting.
