Thank you for sharing your experience. Could you please elaborate on this message from TM, was it in their app or web account? How come they messaged you since you bought from a different ticket site?
Does anyone have other experiences with above mentioned secondary market sites?
Am flying from Croatia currently ticketless to this show and so far haven't used secondary markets so any experience is helpful. Thanks to those who already commented on the topic.
One thing I don't understand is mobile ticket availability. For example when looked at the stubhub 2 weeks ago you could buy tickets in the same section with the similar price, one said it would be available 31 oct, and one 22nd nov. When you look now they say 22nd Nov or in couple of days. My question is, why can't it be the moment you buy?

Just bought tickets for Rod Stewart today at the Hard Rock... $65 each, plus fees
And I bought Billy Joel Hard Rock last week for about $105 each, plus fees.
I love the Stones, and I am local, but they can kiss my ass with this show.

That's what it's come to. Scalp your own tickets. The majority of artists allow Platinum pricing these days. It's unfortunate, but it is what it is, I guess.

Often times your phone can give you a better price. I've seen that happen with Google flights. Get cheaper airfare if you use your phone to search.

Don’t be so damn cynical. Take this show at face value. A huge band in a small venue with tickets available to the general public well in advance. That’s fantastic. Yet many on this board are throwing stones. Metallica is playing there a little before the Stones but no one’s bitching about that. If you can’t afford the tickets then make more money. If you want to bitch at someone bitch at the promoter. He’s setting the ticket prices. The Stones get paid a set fee per show.
Peace, Out!
Well I'm ordinarily more sympathetic to people's financial situation but let's face it, the Stones are THE marquee band and they even initiated the Lucky Dip ticket situation which makes it more than affordable to go to a show.
If you're not able to afford this special show, then that is too bad but complaining about it or blaming the band is ridiculous.
