I have pit for Vegas, trying to switch my seats for the Portland Oregon show.  It's showing they have some available.

Anyone else have any concerns that with rising case counts in many areas, some shows, at least indoor shows, maybe postponed?

Well, considering that the states having surges right now are lead by politicians who are not only against taking common sense precautions but in some cases denying the reality of the virus, probably not. If they don't care enough about their own state and citizens to actually fight the spread, they likely won't care about a concert.

I would be shocked if any show gets postponed regardless of the state. If anything, i could see some states that actually give a damn require vaccine or negative tests to attend. Ticketmaster can't do it but local organizers and health officials absolutely can. Since almost 100% of new cases and hospitalizations are asking unvaccinated, leading to smaller outbreaks in lower vaccinated areas i don't see anything being postponed. If you're in a state where the leaders couldn't give a damn they'll happily sacrifice their unvaccinated citizens. Those of us that are vaccinated likely won't get it or will get a mild case.

I agree.  I think the cancellations and postponements are done. 

It sounds harsh, but the reality is that if you are still unprotected...that's kind of your problem.  Shots have been out there for months and are LITERALLY FREE.  I mean, if you can't be bothered, I don't think people are going to keep fretting about you.

The only way i think a postponement will happen is if a band member gets covid or someone within the band organization, like with the Foo Fighters. They had to postpone a show due to a positive test.

Agreed, many of them are the anti mask, anti lockdown people. If they won't do the responsible thing i have no sympathy left for them. Darwinism will take over. If they can't even do it to protect immunocompromised people then they're not worth concerning myself with.

Yeah....screw the politics or which side of the fence your on, no more of a concern for me.......let's do this tour!!!!! We need this G N F'N R Live.  Damn it!!!

Well the only problem with that is we're seeing new mutations develop among the unvaccinated, which we can't predict how the existing vaccines may respond to.

True unfortunately it is inevitable unless we reach a high enough vaccination rate to stop them. Which isn't going to happen due to the mass misinformation about the vaccine. It will be a continuous cat and mouse game. Fortunately can make a booster for new variants quite quickly when needed.

Looks like ticketmaster has lowered pricing for METLIFE show.  I have 4 tix that cost me 250 + fees so almost 1300 for 4 seats.  Can now buy same section for 167+fees 836.00 total. OVER 400.00 less.  So pissed.  Hopefully this jumpstarts ticket sales but we all should get refunded, I know we won't.

This is TM's brilliant demand based pricing system.  It's been around for awhile now, and this is exactly the type of thing it leads to: Early ticket buyers pay higher prices than those that buy later, assuming there are seats left.

It's dumb, it's consumer hostile, and it does nobody any favors!

[tim_m]

It should be illegal to use an algorithm to change the prices based on demand.

Yeah, it sucks.

Thing is, when it is your favorite band, you are never going to risk the wait.  I mean, I could never do it.  I'd want my tickets in hand, ASAP.

Supply and demand, that's (at least theoretically) how everything works in a capitalist economy.

[evander1129]

I get supply and demand and rather have place filled.   Just how much cheaper is crazy. Not talking 10 or 20.00 cheaper. Over 100.00 a ticket cheaper after fees. And best seats in place. Should give us free drink ticket or a concert t.  Lol
