Of course, Stub Hub is already showing a bunch of tickets available. GA Pit from $200.00. BROKERS DIE. http://www.stubhub.com/n...geles-10-7-2012-4116516/

I know.
Was straight on, refreshing the page at 59 mins, selecting GA within seconds of it going live, still best I could get was Section B. Wolfram was the same.
These are just organised scalpers or, if you like, a set of cunts.

So who's been to this place before?
How big is The Greek...like are we at least in the same zip code as the stage if we're out in Section B?
I've been to the Henry Fonda which I would call a mid size venue, was sat in the back row of the seats just along from Julian Casablanca or whatever the guy from The Strokes is called. Hopefully a beter venue than that.

I love the way you guys refer to them as 'brokers', gives them an air of respectability that I'm not sure they deserve. Can't we just call them cunts, it' far more accurate.

Yeah, what do we think of having this in an open air theater? I would have preferred NO indoors but not sure where. Edited by user 04 August 2012 09:58:03(UTC)

It's really a joke, for the first Roseland show, tickets were on stubhub before the presale (assuming it was scalpers anticipating using whatever connections they have to start the bidding). On the day of the presale, there were 600+ tix on stubhub, as I write this, there are around 700 which is somewhere between 1/4 - 1/5 capacity. It was great to see the prices fall precipitously as the 2nd Roseland gig was announced. Ticketmaster really enabled the scalpers in this case (irrespective of them owning stubhub and benefiting from commission pricing of stubhub sales); the ticket limit purchase for thursday was 50 tickets (or that was how far the dropdown menu went) and the limit was only 3 for Friday. Hopefully those who bought with an eye to making money on Thursday tickets lose a fair amount. JG wrote:mdiver65 wrote:$180 pit + fees now StubHub....
