This is true but 100% won't happen
#1 there isnt that many of them
#2 given the situation
#3 its alot of money but believe me, lower than the stubhub and scalpers will rape them out at
#4 the ones that went today, went quick
#5 the affluent older crowd from bay st etc will pay that if they feel this is it
but you are right , I got row 2 for the Who the day before show
and front row for Fleetwood Mac yrs ago day of singles

Pretty sure the artist has to approve that.
so crazy for the kingston show I bought two tickets row 3 FLR2 for 575 each...
my wife is like i dont want to go.. .might have one extra to sell
I was successful using the presale password for Ottawa on the venue's ticket site....not ticketmastrer. It's called Capitaltickets.ca

But anyways, for the future, DO NOT select off a map, let Ticketmaster pick for you. When you select, 100 other people could be selecting those seats at the same time and Ticketmaster does not hold them, making it nearly impossible to grab them. If Ticketmaster selects the seats for you, they are actually holding those seats for you for a couple minutes.
Did you pick a section or just go best available as well?
I need a pair for Kingston. Will provide cash beer and good weed. Any takers?

On the other hand, I can see this being a trade-off for making so many tickets 'credit card' entry and non- resellable

1 ticket for London
1 ticket for Toronto #1
1 ticket for Toronto #2
1 ticket for Hamilton
2 tickets for Ottawa
4 tickets for Kingston
Keep coming empty when I did more than one for London, Toronto and Hamilton. For the last 30 minutes I just keep hit Retry after it told me nothing was available for each show.
Didn't pull the best seats but at least I will be in the building(s) with gear in tow.

Are you willing to sell one Kingston?
Managed to get Row 22 on the floor for Winnipeg! I'm going to see if I can do any better on Friday, though. If that's the case, then I'll have two tickets in Row 22 to sell!
What's the "secret" strategy to getting tickets? Anyone want to PM me? I feel so hopeless right now as I am 30 minutes from Calgary on sale. As far as I know I am doing everything right, and fast. (rant/whine over!)

I had to hit search again probably 30-40 times, I can verify that I am not a robot...
Wow, great seats. Did you select 100 level or just best available?
maybe I didn't get any cause I'm a robot
Anyone's ticket searches still ongoing 1.5 hours later? My original searches for 4 in Kingston and Hamilton are still processing "searching...sit tight" while all subsequent searches have failed. Should I stare at the computer now until Friday in hopes that I'm still in some queue? Anyone else?
