I ordered tickets yesterday for Michael Bublé and saw some of the "Official Platinum" pricing...
That's the first time I've run across different prices being labeled differently. I assume it has something to do with psychology....you're paying this super high price, but you're getting THE OFFICIAL PLATINUM TICKET!!!
We got tickets for Cher at a great price. I swear, those seats weren't even available the first time I checked. Maybe they were in someone else's cart at the time I was looking?
But, they turned out to be center section, one level up and were even cheaper than the ones we were looking at along the side.
We are still debating on which Celine Dion tickets to get. And I've found that the price really does change per day.
The first time I looked, I thought it was odd that her Sat night concert was cheaper than her other days.
I really don't want Sat night as that's when more people are out, in general, and the subways are always rerouted for construction, so there are massive delays on weekends.
There are still plenty of seats in the areas we want. So, I went back the next morning, and Ticketmaster raised the price of the 2 seats were were looking at for Sat night, as well as all the sections. Instead, her third date had the best selection.
We are squabbling and debating whether to sit along the side, one level up, rather close to Celine, but may see her mostly from the side, or again get tickets in the center, same level. I went back several hours later, and her first night, instead, has all cheaper tickets.
It had seemed mostly sold out in the prices we wanted the first 2 times I had checked. AND they released new seats in a whole section that wasn't available before. I think those seats were formerly VIP and Chase Preferred Seating, now general admission.
Apparently, "Official Platinum" pricing is "randomly" changing the prices to fill in all the seats for all the shows.
I can't believe how many concerts I missed seeing because I knew I didn't get seats when they were first released at the box office, and I thought there would only be scalper tickets available. Now, I'm seeing Ticketmaster is randomly dropping and raising prices on different days, (NOT resale ticket,) and I probably could have afforded decent seats after all, for concerts not sold out, had I checked
weeks after they had become available.
