    Dynamic pricing... really? How nice
    Yikes.. The Official Platinum seats dynamic pricing thing is really rude. Dynamic pricing.. got to love it. Set a fixed tier of prices for your tickets!! Fight scalping by fighting scalping, not by becoming scalpers. Lottery for example.. remember Santa Clara, fans got tickets, secondary market was controlled by fans, tickets went for face value. Do not claim free market on this tactic... Free markets are transparent. How many of these platinum seats are being bought? For how much? Only you know that that is not fair. In a free market we would know as well as you what prices are being paid. The Amex presale is just a way to gauge demand so you can set your price. That feels predatory to me because it is. The ticket counter should be a place where all are equal, not an auction where the price changes moment by moment. The game being played this week is to see who bites at what price. I wish it was scalpers who were playing this cruel game with us, but it is the band themselves. I am sure plenty of New Yorkers are hungry for a show and I respect that. But the less of us who pay $700 today the same tickets will be at $500 tomorrow, and $400 on Thursday. The general idea of dynamic pricing is bad enough. But add the big data piece to it and it gets really gross. Ticketmaster for example knows who I am, they certainly know what shows I have gone to and what I have paid. They know where I live and can approximate my income based on that. They may have other data points as well, depending on how much it matters to them. I am using an amex card, have to, amex knows my income even better than just having an address. Perhaps the algorithm is something like.. Amex shows him with income of x, offer him tickets at price Y + 30 percent. How would I know what price others see ? I have enough experience to know a small amount of what they know. They know what you earn, they know what you have bought, particularly tickets, like any good scammer choosing a mark, they do their research. Our friends in the band have decided to go along with this dynamic pricing as a way to fight scalping, really there are other ways to fight evil without becoming evil. A fun game would be to see what type prices they offer. Me right now I see.. For Saturday Night Sec 118 7 19 - 20 2 US $650.00 Anyone else seeing higher or lower than that ? There is a chance that it is just strictly start high, move lower based on time approach. -- Tom

    @rgergelis
    I agree, I was able to get Lock'n tickets no problem. I guess scalpers do not mess with festivals as much? I was foolish to think it would be easy. They added a second show. I will be in NYC anyhow for a phil show on Friday, if prices get reasonable I may grab some tickets. It has been a good year, I am not going to let one show bother me too much. Yeow !!!! -- Tom

Well I see that a couple more sales of GA Pit/premium ticket occurred at around $1,000 per ticket. Also, the Seller showed a copy of the confirmation e-mail that I thought might be fake because it says "If you sent in more then one envelope...." I guess it could be a typo from GDTS TOO. Anyone know if these confirmation e-mails circulating on the listings are genuine? I guess I'm just a bit paranoid about eBay sales because someone wrote that event tickets are excluded from their buyer protection policy. Prices seem to be coming down but the premium and GA tickets are hot and there are some people shelling out some serious cash to be on the floor or in good seats. The rest of us are hoping to get a glimpse of a screen from an obstructed seat for a decent price, lol.

I see prices dropped ~$100 for 3 day passes and ~$50 on the 3rd and 5th. However, those are all upper level no view seats. Prices for 200 level no view and stage facing seats haven't changed.

The email confirmation does NOT specify what tix you got...if dude put in for pit he got pit, premium he got that. The email reads if you ordered more than 1 show you got them but more than 1 envelope no guarantees.... Something ain't right, but I know it's wrong for a head to scalp this shit....

Hey Klang, I might get to see the Giants and Rockies play at Coors Field next month during my business travel. Looking forward to it for sure. Don't kill me, I'm a Rockies fan but I live in Giants fanland so it's the matchup I always want to see!

I wouldn't have much of a problem with ebay except when the seller has little, no, or poor feedback. Also if the listing is vague. I've seen some sketchy listings.

Yeah, I guess someone thinks they are legit because that's a lot of cash to send hoping to get something in June/July. I hate to say it but I would jump on a three-day pass GA ticket for $750 even though they are still marked up. I probably wouldn't have bought from that seller though because with only one feedback point I don't really trust that. Tickets are definitely much less expensive on eBay though.

$750 is a steal despite getting boned by a scalper Even if these 3 shows suck major ass, they will be a life changing moment for those lucky enough to be there, not just the pic a nic but in soldier, even if you get a ticket for a stall in the men's room shitter behind stage you are in, ok maybe not the shitter, but I guess you get the gist of it... And it's alright We will get by, we will survive!

Yeah, I think a lot of folks would jump on that. I've heard of quite a few on the fence at $300/tix. Ebay sales I've looked at seemed to be as much as 50% less than stubhub.

Those were on my watch list. Insane. I see one guy won July 4 and 5th. The 3rd was won by some other guy trying to get all three dates too. $11,600 for the schmuck selling his mail order.

Been a Giants fan since I was a kid, but now living in 'limbo' between Rockies & Seattle fan worlds. "WTF are the Giants games blacked out? It's 900 miles from my house to the ballpark... " lol Was working in CO last summer, & caught 1 1/3 of the best two games of the year at Coors Field between SF & CO... First three innings were a continuation of a rain delayed game from earlier in the season...Giants took it home 6 - 4. The second game went 12 innings, w 5 lead changes, two blown no-hitters from both starting pitchers in the 6th, a career high hit streak from Hunter Pence, and a final last ups rally from the Rockies for two runs to win it 4 - 5. Haven't seen a 'double bill' like that since Day On The Green w The Dead vs The Who in Oakland... That went into extra innings too, & Uncle Bobo got fined and had to pay overtime to the I.A. Stagehands. ;P

definitely would jump on $750.. But mail order scalpers are the worst of the worst, the baby rapists of the scalper world, they have to have their own entrance to the bank, or all the other scalpers would roll them and grab the loot

I called Ebay and gave them specific Item Numbers being sold and they said I would be protected by their Ebay Buyer Protection Program if I didn't receive the tickets. However, that wouldn't help me much as I still wouldn't have any tickets but would get my money back. I contacted one guy selling a July 3rd ticket with 0 feedback and he did write me back. Not sure I'd feel that good buying from him, however, he swears it's good. Probably the same one Klangstone bid on. Steve

when the 2nd spring '90 box came out they named it "Spring '90 Too" so, when the 2nd incarnation of GDTS came to be, they tacked on the "Too".....

"And pay for my first class flight, hotel, food and a couple of women under my arm as well...I will foot the bill for the drugs; on your money but I am at least thinking about paying for something..." Glad to see they are coming down - now the big questions is; if ebay covers no tickets, what do they do about counterfeit tickets? This becomes like problems of some dude buying what he thought was a Macbook and got a photo of a macbook...there are thieves everywhere and where there is a will there is MOST definitely a way. Again I am becoming cautiously optimistic (thus my return and possible inclusion in the picnic...)

Wow, that must have been a treat to see--I missed that one. I remember the June games in SF were epic as well, with three improbable comeback wins by the Rockies against the Giants' bullpen. Unfortunately, I only got to watch them on the tellie with my step-brother who bleeds orange. He lives in Iowa but travels to Giants spring training every year. I about had to peel him off the barstool after the last comeback and he re-filled his beer mug with tears. I'm hoping to see another three-game set with a different roster in Chicago in July. The scheduled starters are Jack Straw, Cosmic Charlie and Row Jimmy. Casey Jones is batting cleanup.

Scalper (1): "just want to make some money (by reselling tickets way above their face value), MAN." Scalper (2): a person or persons who takes advantage of other less fortunate individuals by hiking up prices way above the actual value for a much sought-after item. (in this case, a deadhead taking advantage of other deadheads, inexcusable!) Scalper (3): a low, lower than low, scum of the Earth dirtbag lowdown jackass of an individual with no conscience or ethical values whatsover. P.S. If anyone here disagrees, you have some ethical problems of your own, and personal integrity issues.

Thanks you guys for clarifying the money-back coverage as it applies to tickets. I guess I read some bad info on that. When in doubt, read the fine print! I'll probably start considering eBay a bit more given the lower prices.

Damn it! Ticket transfer is disabled for the FTW shows? This bites! So a process is in place to thwart scalpers, yet it is also hurting us true fans who are trying to get an aftermarket ticket! So we have to trust some ebay scalping scum to deliver our tickets after we give them our large sums of money 3 months in advance? This shit is killing me, again, still, whatever... Can't win for losin'... All these stumbling blocks and elements are in place to prevent us all from going to the shows (except for the lucky few, or a couple hundred thousand). Anything else that TM, Stubhub, ebay and Shapiro would like to do to hurt us more? Come on guys, you can come up with more BS for us to piss us off, you know you can! What next???? How about there will be no west coast shows, oh, we already got that horrible news.
