I've never understood why people buy from scalpers, so early in the game. Tickets always free up close to or day of show.

Well. I'm glad I waited it out and got tickets with Ticketmaster and the scalpers can eat shit!

So pumped that I got tix for Toronto Aug 14 and The Hammer! I could care less where I'm sitting...I just want to be in that building that night and hear this band!
This will by my 43rd and 44th show...cheers Hip Fans!

So much for prices getting lower for Kingston. Stubhub's current cheapest (behind stage) are now $497 USD.

Sold a signed setlist on Ebay to pony up cash for tickets to the Kingston show.

Even though I have the money now to buy seats, at a grand to sit behind the stage...is it really worth it when I can watch it outside the venue for free?

Anyone else facing the same moral dilemma, or am I just being a selfish cheapskate?

On a side note...I've got the cash if someone has 2 tickets.

Only you can truly answer that question but if you're having doubts, my advice would be to wait it out. Join the lottery and keep checking TM. Although you never know, on balance, prices on secondary market more likely to drop.

There were 2 tickets Floor L on stubhub for $750 each 30 minutes ago. They're gone now.

Yowzers.

I consider myself absurdly fortunate to have found a ticket for both Toronto3 and Kingston without paying over face.

Now that the tour is over I am interested to hear what people paid on secondary market, especially if anyone bought for Kingston on day of show.

I heard one guy who got a ticket the day of for $1250, and he said he got a deal, because when he looked on Stubhub, tickets further back were $6000.

Yes! Finally! Tickets are going for next to nothing! You guys were right - stay patient, and the scalpers will HAVE to come down eventually Tongue

That's absolutely not true and was not the case on this tour in Ontario.
