Plenty of tickets available for the New York area shows..
Posted by: ROPENI ()
Date: December 5, 2012 15:23

Well,it seems that even with the good reviews of the London shows,it has not helped the sales of tickets for the 3 shows in the New York area.
Ticketmaster still is offering tickets for all 3 shows,with Brooklyn having the most available,all the other ticket sites also have plenty left.
So, its obvious that their attempt to rape the faithful,has not worked and they will be playing to many empty seats..To those going to the shows have a great time...

These numbers might be from stubhub.com only

I saw a single in section 9 row 15 for the first NJ show on SH yesterday. Great seat for $450.. I considered buying it but chose to wait for a better price. It's gone now, but I expect to see many more prices dropping soon. The NJ shows seem to not have "etix". This means sellers have to sell their tix with enough time for delivery to the buyer. Unless SH arranges for meeting up with buyers near the venue,I think prices will drop significantly by Monday,12/10. Almost 2,500 tix for Thursday, 2,000 tix for Saturday and 1,200 for Brooklyn on SH remain, PLUS there are tickets dropping on TM for each show.I think the market is flooded right now.

Am I missing something, or isn't it the other way around? Brooklyn: 1211 tickets left. Is Brooklyn a smaller venue?

BTW, they won't have any trouble selling these shows out. 5700 tickets? Will be gone in an instant, along with news about Taylor, Wyman or any other who'll draw people + last week marketing etc.

Well, in each of the shows it says how many tickets are left,and those numbers are only for Stubhub,there are plenty more at other sites such as viagogo,etc.
Bottom line is a buyer's market...

OK, thanks. And you've checked those sites, and found out that Brooklyn had the most tickets left? I get it smiling smiley

True to a point. Many broker websites carry the same tickets... sellers put their seats on multiple sites for optimal exposure. I think as someone else suggested, it will be a buyer's market. There is discretionary money in NY/NJ right now, but many potential uyers are still reeling from the Hurricane. If you can wait it out, I think bargains will pop up more and more.

Stubhub is a place where people who have already purchased tix can resell them. All the tix on stubhub are sold. All the tix on ticketmaster are still coming directly from the stones and unsold

Let me tell you, though. I have been watching those numbers, and tickets have been to sell quite briskly. The tickets for the 15th are very high priced. Good luck to all.

Re: Plenty of tickets available for the New York area shows..

How come they are not sold out in just hours like other Stones shows have...?

even if it were a $215 ticket, you have to drive and spend over 40 in tolls and 100 in gas to get there from dc then you have to do a hotel and for some ofus nowadays, 355 plus 150 hotel 500 may as well be a million due to lower salary and millions of other pressing expenditures that have been put off due to lower income as of late. now in 2002 - 2006 that would be nothing to me because I was making so much more money then. I don't think many people realize what has really happened to most people in this country in the last 5 years. plus its right before Christmas

I don't know the scalping regulations around Barclays in Brooklyn or the Newark Arena, but it sounds like a brave sort could just show up and find a decent ticket at a decent price. (Remember to take a map of the arena seating, and check the ticket to make sure it's real). If you got there early enough there might even be tickets at the box office. There is always a roll of the dice with such adventures, but the reward could be great. If you are a guy taking a gal, she would have to be the brave, good sport type, open to high risk, high reward, maybe disappointment.

be careful buying off of scalpers around the venue. I have known many who have been bured at NY area venues with bogus tickets.

Okay, with the ticket prices so high, there would be more incentive for scalpers to sell counterfeits. On the other hand, prices from scalpers could drop precipitously near show time. My experience has been that some of them are sent there from ticket chop shops, where they've already made their money back from high paying suckers, and they just need to get as much back off their tix as they can. Remember, once the show starts those tickets are worthless. And again, this is for the informed, bold ticket buyer. It's not for the faint of heart.

I believe that at least in Brooklyn the box office will have tickets for sale the day of the show,but probably at face value,but if you have the nerves to wait till showtime,you would to get some really good deals outside the venue..Best of Luck..

The prices are just plain prohibitive. I really don't get how anyone here is able to justify that cost. Most of the media seems to be panning this... "oh its another Stones concert... bigger, better, more expensive..." This time is drastically different.

They could play a few blocks from me but I can't swing $1600, $1400 or $1200 for TWO TICKETS TO A CONCERT.

My favorite band obviously doesn't want me in their audience. Mick thanks the wealthy fans who can fork out $1600 + travel/lodging/food for supporting them, while loyal fans who have purchased everything they have put out (music, video, merch) get sidelined.

Completely agree with you on this one,the prices are outrageous,and the band don't give a shit,so l will also pass this time,they are not worth the kind of money they r asking,and l really wasn't very impressed with the London shows,l mean Mick Taylor for one song and Bill for two,what kind of celebration was that?
But to those that did pay those prices,hope you have a really good time,l will watch the videos here as the show goes on...

A few people have said it but it bears repeating . . . those are listings on Stub Hub, people who have extra tickets and brokers. A show can be SOLD OUT and there can still be thousands of tickets on Stub Hub. Those are all people looking to RESELL tickets.

Yes, but a random Ticketmaster search, now, just a few days until the show, brings up this nice selection (note price, including "Convenience Charge"):
