Hey Caven, so are you still looking for 1 GA for Friday??
-
Yeah, put that way I see what you mean ... just curious, why would a scalper put pricing THAT far off the mark, 2360 Euros, I would understand 1000 Euros when the closest competition is 300-400 Euros for same level tickets... anyways.... surprising how some people will pump something way past necessary....
-
Poptart, if you do indeed have GA, you do not pick-up your tix from the box office as Rachberg mentions.... these are ticketless tix, they scan the card at the entrance gate to/for the show & you must then go in immediately.... from what I have read throughout the forums, no one has been asked for ID while getting the card scanned at entrance, despite the "official" ticketless policy is that you are supposed to show ID with the credit card with matching names of course....

Every Ticketmaster listing says "Prices subject to change" so that could go either way. Some prices go up if there is more demand and inventory is limited. Truthfully, you are probably always going to events where people paid different prices. Sometimes you paid less than them, sometimes you paid more. Subsequent MSG dates also had price reductions according to members on here. The only thing new here is that you're paying attention to this event. Dynamic pricing is nothing new. Hey Jeff, I know about dynamic pricing, but we're not talking here about seasonal sales for cars, tv's etc etc (Black Friday, Boxing Day, Spring Sale, Summer Sale etc etc)... here in MTL we have Evenko, not Ticketmaster (nor is Evenko owned by Ticketmaster, it is owned by the MTL Canadians-Molson Coors)... I have never seen a "Prices subject to change" condition in the tix sold here thru them... I go to A LOT of concerts, I have never seen "discounting" to this extreme in more than 25 years, 1/3 the price from the actual promoter-seller-owner of the venue....

Many of the tickets listed on Stubhub etc don't actually exist. I learned from a tout that they will often list fictitious tickets at huge prices, in order to make ones that they do have and have listed at lower (but still inflated) prices seem more attractive. It's basic psychology. If you view a list of tickets at very high prices, many will believe that other people are buying at those prices, and therefore will perhaps settle for some tickets that don't seem quite so expensive, even if the are still actually very pricey in real terms. Sneaky buggers! Bungo, I sold my 2 spares on Stubhub (at cost but Stubhub made 20% on the deal, the buyer ended up paying the xtra 20% as i listed mine w a 10% mark-up to pay for Stubhub's fees), your description of the Stubhub process is not quite correct.. you can't put any tix up for sale & then back away from selling them if someone put in an order to buy them. Stubhub will charge you 20% of the listed ticket price as a non-completion fee. In other words, if you put up for sale tix that you have no intention of selling & a buyer puts a buy order for them before you have a chance of withdrawing them, you're hooped..... & since you can't know when someone will actually put in a buy order for them, it's really not a good idea to put tix up for sale that you know you cannot sell, you could get a buy order at any time & then get dinged for many dozens or a couple hundred non-completion fees... just saying...

I'm mostly interested in finding out if other venues have done this so far (a few to several hundred tix for sale this way a few days before showtime)... from what i have seen here on the forums, I don't think any other venue has done that so far. Anyone, anyone?
-
Hi Jethro, see my post same time as your's + that's all fine & dandy, but I buy for $305 at onsale in December, show 1 + 2 show up as "sold out" for months, show 3+ 4 show only $305 ones available for months (in the meantime many people have bought some $305 days before today), then I see 5 days before the show I can get a couple/few hundred tix from the same "official" promoter/venue at 1/3 the price for the same sections/rows/seats as my $305 ones??? How does the venue justify that???
-
Hey Bungo, I understand that, but 115$ instead of $305?? I'de be sitting next to someone that paid 1/3 my price?!?! We're talking lots of tickets here for all 4 nights + I thought packages were just tickets w a couple of xtra merchandise items, unless you buy a hotel ++ package, but either way, are'nt packages just tix w extras, the tix sell wether xtras or not, they're not "put aside"?? My question is were they're other venues that have done that to this extent (lots of tix for all nights)?
-
Evenko, promoter-seller here in Montreal for Bell Ctr., just put up many $305 tix for sale at $115, including for nights 1+ 2 that were apparently sold out!! Nights 3 + 4 also now have $115 tix that were $305.... these are real good lower level facing the screen, including first 10 rows etc etc...... If I had bought $305 tix in December & now see that people can buy them for $115 & seat next to me I would be pissed!! How can they possibly explain that & not look like rip-off artists/sob's?!
-
Whoa.... if I had bought $305 tix when they went on sale last December & now see that I could get the seats next to me for $115, man, I would be pissed!!! How does Evenko explain this?!?! Up to this past weekend, show 1 + 2 were sold out, now have many $305 tix for $115, same for shows 3 + 4 but they were not sold out, only the $305's left, now many of those are at $115?!?!

Hi Train, try this link..... seems you've got some 'kinda wierd browser issue loll .. are you checking via mobile, 'cause it is still the normal lay-out... https://wroom.centrebell.ca/eventShopperV3.html?lang=fr&preFill=1&skin=evenko&wr=8a469b6d-5a04-4f23-b312-9bc5cbf5af03&_ga=1.69888467.2143514279.1433461221 -
Evenko website now has redzone on opposite end of the state
passenger789 replied to pluck77's topic in Montreal
Train, right now @ 7:40pm Montreal time, it is back to normal (the real i + e drawing, no change to RZ) ... you probably fell on an IT blip.... -
Hey Mark, believe it or not, I am one of those fans that likes ALL U2 periods.... yes we do exist .... although I do like some albums more than others, each one has minimum 3-4 little jewels, some many many jewels
-
Very subtle.. These forums need ''like'' buttons
-
Whoa... that is totally nuts... guess he was'nt a U2 Zootopian, total lack of ''community'' values .... maybe he sold a bunch of others for a tidy profit...

From Willie Williams interview in Live Design magazine, link posted by Bigwave, Thx Dude ''We fully intended to have two different set lists and make it a pair of shows. This idea survived all the way to the beginning of the music rehearsals, at which point it became apparent that it wasn’t really viable. I really believe that they could have rehearsed enough songs for two shows, and I would have very much enjoyed being able to delve into the catalog, but the question of which songs would be left out of any given show became too big to get around. The potential upset that a punter buys a ticket for the “wrong” show, depending on their personal taste, began to make it a bit of a minefield.''

Hey Jeff, like I wrote though, I bought 8 xtra's thinking friends would scoop them up (no one reserved them before onsale)... anyway, 6 got taken 4 months ago, 2 left but sold those also 2 days ago ... but this tour is definitelly not an ''event'' like 360, where MTL sold out 2 x 80,000 (still tix left for MTL 3 & 4, I think this time though it is really a price point issue, way more expensive than 360)....

Evenko website now has redzone on opposite end of the state
passenger789 replied to pluck77's topic in Montreal
Pluck, they just changed the location of the Red Zone, it is now by the i stage instead of the e stage... this was discussed ad-nauseum in other threads when the RZ's were finalized a few days before the show's started.... RZ was always indicated by the e stage (or b stage/secondary stage/etc) before the onsale throughout these forums (until Live Nation placed the RZ by i stage few days before shows started), not sure where you got the idea that RZ was by main stage originally.... just saying. Stage itself has NOT been flipped around, just RZ changed ends.... you will still have an excellent view, you are close to smaller/more intimate e stage. Sorry for you if you don't like that set-up, & you're right that it could have been better indicated to ticket buyers that don't spend time on these forums, which is probably a lot of people who have bought tickets..... Enjoy the show anyway, I don't think you'll be disappointed after. -
Where are you seeing the revised map on Evenko, I am getting the same map that has always been there. Map for Montreal DID change though on Stubhub and the orientation of the stages have completely flipped! Pop, you are right about the new layout now on Stubhub, was not there yesterday morning, but it is wrong. Evenko has the proper one, I would trust Evenko's site way ahead of Stub since they are the official sellers.... you need to go into the ''buy tickets'' screen to see the layout, here is the link, not sure it will work as it is a Flash link, either way, check it out yourself by pretending to buy tix https://wroom.centrebell.ca/eventShopperV3.html?lang=en&preFill=1&skin=evenko&wr=63bd63d9-65fc-44af-8caf-00bb6c9c3303&_ga=1.191042858.189794561.1432002083 Just checked, the link works as posted..... Just advised Stubhub they have the wrong map (at13:15hr my time), should be corrected shortly

Like Jeff and Silverbullet said, the locations of the main stage and e-stage have not changed--BUT--they were never indicated at all on the original maps. The original (super-unhelpful) TM maps just showed a long rectangle with the RZs on the right. It took a lot of sleuthing by various folks to figure out (from ticket prices, limited view warnings, and finding the San Jose venue map) where the main stage and e-stages were going to be. And in any case, what's changed are the RZs. In the end I concur..... Mikeman your description of the 1st image is right (but we here in MTL w Evenko had the RZ on the left, our e stage is left, still is ) , seems that some people at the LA shows were convinced the stage had been switched on them, from the onsale to when it was showtime (according to the thread for that issue).. in the same vein, I noticed for most cities many people just did'nt pay close enough attention to the "obstructed view" warnings
-
Dude... shop around, lots of tix up for sale at cost or close to it, for Toronto ACC, Kijiji etc, & even here in this forum.... there may not be GA at cost but you're a little late in the game to be whining about it, if you were a subscriber & had a pre-sale code at onsale you had a real good shot at GA's, if you tried..... not to be too critical, but your post is pretty lame at this point.....

MONTREAL,Tues. 16 June GA ticket drop NOW, but just 1 tick. avail?
passenger789 replied to passenger789's topic in Montreal
It's gone, about 10min ago.... -
Hey Apples, they just put up the actual stage design also (as opposed to the original onsale map) for the Montreal Bell Ctr on Evenko.ca (ticket seller for MTL, it's not Ticketmaster here).... Thank God though, the i & e stages are at the same ends as the original undetailed map/plan. I think they must have done that, put up the proper detailed map/drawing, for all the venues after the bad PR brought on by the LA shows, flipped stages compared to original layout for onsale. I'm sure it was Live Nation that FINALLY decided to get their act together regarding that aspect of the tour, although pretty late in the game.
