    my biggest issue will be just that with uppers... sitting. I do not expect many people to be up and moving during the show in that area of the arena. At least down lower, most people are into the show.

    i couldn't disagree more.

    MSG has always been ROCKIN for whatever show I go to.

    granted most have been country shows, but i've always had a blast when i have uppers.


    also - tickets were SO hard for MSG in 2010, i'll take the uppers if i have to, and search for better as time goes along.


    never had a harder ticket to get than MSG 2010 N2, it also doesn't help i had fake tickets and had to find new ones on the street at 8pm....

    times have changed a ton since then too.

    a lot more outlets for help than just ants like back then..

    So I've never been to MSG and didn't follow the boards or tickets as closely during the last shows.

    It sounds like even if you get "stuck" with uppers and are able to upgrade, you can PROBABLY sell any tickets to these shows?

    I mean a lot has changed since the last run, but in general MSG is in pretty high demand?

    can't speak for that one, i think it was "recently" renovated and taken over by a major brand. that's always a good thing for hotels.

    New Yorker is great, stayed there many times, just be aware they charge a nightly "resort fee" of something stupid like $30, on top of the advertised rate.

    I got a deal at the Stanford, trying that one for the first time.

    This is probably a stupid question, but how are people selling tickets already? People with connections to the venue or something who get tix early?

    Speculators. Stubhub is just a bulletin board, like Ebay, anyone can say they have tickets, sell them to a sucker at ridiculously-high price, use those funds to buy the tickets later at a much cheaper price, then ship those tickets.

    Some might say they're season ticket holders

    how do they garuntee they're going to be able to post buy the tickets they sold?

    it's brokers who have "season tickets" and who are in bed with TM/LN

    these brokers are absolutely in cahoots with TM/LN, and they don't mind if the scalp and resell because they get more fees from the resold tickets.

    it's a bunch of bullshit if you ask me. sanctioned scalping.

    On Stubhub, you can "upgrade" your buyer. So most of the listings already out there, I bet, are in the last row of sections. Seller eventually acquires tickets as least as good as what they listed, and "upgrade" their buyer.

    Also without looking, I bet most of these listings have a delivery date as late as possible, like a few days before the show, allowing the speculator as much time as possible to acquire the tickets
