I missed out on 10C tickets for Philly. I tried for every show and got shut out (never happened before). My wife told me for my birthday that she'd get me 2 tickets for the Friday show but they are going for $150 each on Stub Hub and they are crappy locations. I guess I've been spoiled by 10C tickets in the past - what would you do? I've seen them around 15 times so it's not like I don't know what to expect... it just seems expensive but who knows when they will come around again?

As melon scratchers go, that's a honey doodle.

I almost bought lower level behind the stage for one of the Philly shows off StubHub, but I opted for some other lower level ones. I got lower level directly back from the stage (behind the floor) for like $180 a piece. That's about where I sat for Chicago and had a good vantage point. I didn't want to stare at Eddie's ass all night.

dont do it.

with even a tiny amount of effort you will be able to get tickets for face.

monitor craigslist, call the box office, keep trying online thru the official ticket provider etc, or just show up at the venue and walk around.

If you are going to go thru stub hub or a ticket broker, theres no need to do it now. Their prices will go down. No need to pay almost double face...

I forgot about this... hmmm... I think I'll take the advice in here and wait until the week of the show and hopefully get some first tier tickets at or near face value.

If you want two 10C tix to the 28th, they're yours for face value - 167.
