Last week they had 4 different presales during the course of the week for Foxboro, MA (2 shows in July).... I managed to get a presale code last Tuesday from Gillette stadium and was thrilled to get 2 seats to surprise my DD for Christmas. (The pricier ones, but still nosebleed all the same as it's all the way across the other side of the football stadium). I saw thousands and thousands of tickets available already on stubhub.com.
RIDICULOUS!!!
Saturday I was curious to see what I would have gotten if I waited until the public sale. I logged in at 9:48 and waited until the national time website showed 10:00.... I immediately logged in and was placing my order about 45 seconds past 10am..... NOTHING AVAILABLE!! NOTHING!!!! 2 shows in a football stadium and sold out before the public sale it seems?!?!??! Granted, I didn't plan on buying any... I was just curious what would have been if I hadn't gotten the presale code...
I don't understand how stubhub and other second-hand ticket resellers can do what they do when scalping is illegal?? That's not fair to all the fans that didn't have a presale code and had to wait for the public sale and missed out entirely.
