It's the same seats.or maybe they were labelled as premium fucking something tickets and it is not dynamic pricing.
They were listed as "Iron Maiden Fan Club Presale" but you could watch them in real time change from $230 to upwards of $800-$1000 in some cases lolor maybe they were labelled as premium fucking something tickets and it is not dynamic pricing.
So much for not selling out in 5 seconds lmao. No GA after 3 minutes and scarce lowerbowl is close enough to 5 seconds than what Ive seen in other yearsView attachment 44476

They commented a couple of times in a thread on the FC essentially saying they did all they could, but ultimately the rest lies with Ticketmaster, and basically said sorry for your frustrations lol.Spoiler alert - I doubt Phantom gives a shit. Tickets are already sold, what are they going to do? It's clear as day dynamic pricing was happening yesterday and it totally sucks.
The whole buying experience has left a bad taste in my mouth. Maybe I should have just let The Future Past tour be it. That show was amazing and really the last of an era in more ways than one.
Welp, think I'm gonna wait for a likely second Chicago date. Pavilion's pretty well sold out already. I still wonder why they didn't opt for the soccer stadium in Bridgeview.
We are still talking about presale tickets here, right? You can't say anything about general sales until a few weeks have passed.It's interesting to see which shows are selling well compared to others.
Harrison in NJ clearly hasn't sold anywhere near what they expected it to, unless something picks up in Hershey that show will be a disaster, and San Antonio there is like 95% seats still left unsold.
True, but in comparison to LA, Toronto, Boston basically selling out in pre sales, Chicago and Charlotte looking close it doesn't look well for their overly ambitious venues, getting close to 50k in San Antonio was very optimistic. Hershey looks like its only sold 2k tickets lolWe are still talking about presale tickets here, right? You can't say anything about general sales until a few weeks have passed.
Edit: I went back a few pages. So it's not just the prices, but they have managed to f*ck up the presale by giving every living being a chance to get tickets due to codes being thrown around? Don't they have unique codes like last year in Europe?
IMFC codes were supposedly unique and let you in on Tuesday. Live Nation and Ticketmaster codes were not unique and let you in on Wednesday. Venue codes are only unique by venue and let you in on Thursday. General on-sale is Friday.So it's not just the prices, but they have managed to f*ck up the presale by giving every living being a chance to get tickets due to codes being thrown around?
Yeah, I just found them and checked the Ticketmaster one for a few dates. I don't know what point is of all this. Fanclub presale is one thing, but all the other options seem fishy to me. Gouging the price in a fake presale so that you feel you are being let in to an exclusive offer that soon will disappear?IMFC codes were supposedly unique and let you in on Tuesday. Live Nation and Ticketmaster codes were not unique and let you in on Wednesday. Venue codes are only unique by venue and let you in on Thursday. General on-sale is Friday.
LA pretty much completely sold out in the pre sales, which is a massive turn around from not being able to sell out the forum last year and moving the second show to Arizona. It's clearly the hits in the setlist that has much greater appeal.A second night in LA already suggests their ambition of upgrading venues is paying off in their traditional strong holds. Time will tell how they do in other markets in America.
Also no other show even close to Los Angeles.LA pretty much completely sold out in the pre sales, which is a massive turn around from not being able to sell out the forum last year and moving the second show to Arizona. It's clearly the hits in the setlist that has much greater appeal.
Possibly true, but the amount of people that actually travel out of state for shows in the US is actually pretty small, typically you don't rely on that to push sales. But being the only city in California likely helped.Also no other show even close to Los Angeles.

Dont stress! You'll be able to pay $850 for a pit ticket later!The patronising nature of that message about the FC presale is quite irritating. Don't stress? Easy to say if you get to see the show for free!
