Ottawa is. I have to go to work soon and I don't want to close it.

Pretty sure the artist has to approve that.
Then why don't just include them with the reg tickets? why have to click to a different section.
The conspiracy theorist in me, says they are different because they are not legislated by the same rules as other tickets, ie: Ticketmaster reserves the right to these tickets regardless of promoter/artist approval - otherwise they would be in the with the regular tickets, and listed as a price. The pricing info had 126 as the highest price for Kingston.

Kingston comes up as no tickets instantly for me.

:x
we get shut out for people doing that.
For some reason I thought stubhub was owned by Ticketmaster but they are actually separate companies (Stubhub is actually part of... ebay.) So I don't see how all these stubhub tickets in the 'credit card entry'/no-resale zones could be allowed.
If possible try to only buy in pairs. Presales are well known for being scattered all around the arena (usually some good tix, and then a lot of bad tickets). Quite often there aren't many that are 4 in a row. The fewer tickets you search for the better luck you'll have. I always try to recruit friends and have everyone search for pairs over quadruples. Sure you don't get to sit together during the show but the odds of getting tickets and the odds of getting better tickets go up substantially.
I got 4 tickets, sect 107, row R in Ottawa. My understanding of the Platinum thing was that the presale tickets were labeled Platinum, at least on Capital Tickets.
I typed in the code, and it took me right to a ticket buying page.
I was amazed as I was in pretty fast, and even at 10:01 it was telling me floors were gone........
so how does one get in if they buy a ticket form stubhub? what about the credit card and id? wtf?

I think the pricing on them is fluid and can go up and down based on demand. Check the prices for platinum seats on Friday. They might be higher when there are more people trying to purchase them.
The Victoria show uses the same back-end white label web provider as Ottawa does. The website (evenue.net) is actually a bit better than ticketmaster !
Seriously, if anyone has one Kingston ticket to sell (any price, platinum or not), please call/text me at 613-827-3967. Have to head to work. Will PayPal/EMT you right away. I'm desperate.

They buy four, you get two of them and you get to attend the show with the people that screwed you! And they probably have no idea who the hip are.
Just...keep your browsers open. You never know when something might appear.
Now would be a good time for TM to cancel all the tickets up for sale through a reseller. $3,000 USD per ticket for floors at the back for Kingston on StubHub.
