Eagles at the Sphere: What was the ticket market like for previous shows?
I plan to buy tickets for one of the new dates in November, tomorrow morning during the presale. Some questions:
- Did Ticketmaster prices drop towards the date of the event, or did resellers get all of the good seats at that point?
- What was the resale market like? If Ticketmaster is pricing them in the high-hundreds or over a thousand, is it worth waiting for resale tickets to drop in price?
- Do presale tickets sales usually eat up all of the better sections? Or, if presale doesn't work out, or tickets are dynamically priced really high, will I have better luck during other presales and/or the general on-sale date? Or will it likely be the same experience?
- What is the likelihood that I'll get a better deal on resale, compared to dynamically (or normally) priced tickets on Ticketmaster?
I understand if these shows might be a different experience, considering that they've already had dozens of shows, but I'd like to get a general idea of what to expect. I'm hoping to get 2 tickets in the 200s or 300s sections for my mom.
Update: After 30 minutes of nonstop errors since the Waiting Room opened at 9:45 (on-sale time was 10am), I got into two queues at 144k and 220k in line (at around 10:15am.) Maybe 45 mins minutes later (11am,) I started getting into seat selection. Ended up getting Sect. 308, Row 2 for $402 (Official Platinum) and $526 (Eagles Hot Ticket Package) before fees, $1,193 after fees. Time of sale: 11:08am (68 mins after planned on-sale.) They are side-by-side, but different pricing tiers.
