Hi Dan

on a full 65,000 seats that would be 13,000 seats
or because of end stage 40,000-50,000 that would be 8,000 to 10,000 seats
maybe your thinking of seats behind the stage or confusing the concert with a raiders football game

also add
the Hard Rock stadium show in 2019 was hot, hot, hot as the tour opener and then the tour closer until about 36 hours hours before the show because of the hurricane and date change- weather will not be a factor because this is an indoor show.
the miami hard rock stadium 2020 super bowl was a $7500 get in the day of the game- because of capacity

No I am talking about the massive amount of resale tickets that never sold, because I was tracking it to the end. From my vantage point there were just gobs of empty seats from late promoter drops to unsold resale tickets.
I mean the show was technically a sellout, at least until the massive amount of drops week of, but that was how it played out. The prices were inching down but not fast enough and just few last minute buyers (the hotel/flight prices had a lot to do with this).
And I have seen this play out over and over again this year on a wide variety of events, both as a buyer and seller.
Maybe not 20% but it was a massive amount.Quote

As of a few hours ago it was 150 platinums, a number that has remain unchanged, which means they are being auto-replenished from hidden stock.

Just scored a "platinum" ticket in 113 for less than others they have in same section at "standard" pricing..
$1006 right now (a couple still available) for standard pricing.
This was "platinum" pricing for 113 row C for $850..

Hairball, you're right, I guess technically the Stones could say no to platinum pricing and resales, but they won't. They just follow what almost every other artist/act does. They basically let Ticketmaster do the scalping for themselves (meaning TM)
What's interesting is that on this tour, Ticketmaster resale has been an option for a handful of shows only (LA, Vegas, Hollywood). I don't know the reason for that.

Well, someone was certainly confident to buy up the 3006$ dropped couch seats and the gobs of 1006$ 100 level seats and mark them up. Awesome if it works.
I know this is an op-ed but Eric Fuller is a trusted source for information (to me at least) and he explains it a bit here, and I have seen it play out over and over including with this show (though it is possible they are running out of seats to trickle out)

Also curious what your experience is in this realm beyond a handful of Stones shows?

My experience in my handful of shows *this tour* is that many of your predictions were wildly off. Admittedly you inflated the estimated number of no shows in Vegas, and similar predictions were also way off. Hyperbole and incorrect predictions don't help with credibility, nor does random screen shots with little explanation.

Here's my mea-culpa.
You were correct in terms of TM sitting on more tix to release, and I'm happy to be incorrect.
If attending, I owe you an apology and a beverage of your choice.

Thx for that. Wondering if anyone else has to confirm via text/email every time they click on TM site? That's new to me, but if I click away I have to revalidate each time now

The Vivid count dropped below 600 for the first time to 596 and looks like people are buying (or tickets being delisted) every hour now.
100 level wheelchair seats turned up at 781$, much less than regular seats in the same section. An hour later they switched to resale at 3725$ May whoever did that end up in a wheelchair and unable to get tickets to the event of his or her choice.
