When something is happening, young people like to say it’s “lit.”

It was kind of a shitty process but nowhere near the extremes shared in that article.

I logged in at 9:45, queue popped up at 10:00 and I had 4800 people ahead of me. By 10:10 I had already paid for and received my two tickets.

Selection wasn’t great at that point, but I got two 100 level tickets for $400 each just to the side of the stage.

Logged back in a few minutes later and was immediately able to search tickets again.

Only issue I had is that I didn’t capitalize the presale code and got an error message initially. Capitalized the code and it worked just fine.

for an article supposedly about the ticketing industry, it shows very little understanding of it*

I have no interest in seeing him at age 83, however.

I think it’s pretty common since people that get in early instantly relist them as verified resale.

In this case with olds, a lot of them probably don’t even realize that a lot of what they’re seeing are resale prices.

Maybe if he accepted Kohl’s Cash there wouldn’t be such an uproar.*

Or use the Kohl’s model and put “50% off” next to the $399 ticket price*

Calendar time for Buddy!

Just wait until the last minute to buy. That's what I did for both CWC and Metallica.

It was a beneficial result. I paid ~60% of what some friends did at Metallica when they bought the presale. we were in the same basic section.

Yeah, those are 2 popular acts but they’re not McCartney.*
