yeah, did the same thing
was 1155 in queue and got in
then snagged a $300 pit ticket and tried multiple credit cards/paypal and even signed up for Klarna, but could not complete the purchase

so decided to get on on my PC and the floor was $1100 and couldn't actually buy it??

I'm thinking some people were able to do resale tix, even though you were not supposed to and tixmaster cut it off??

Yeah, he could write a song about it. Call it "Killing of a Scalper."

It wasn’t! I got pit tickets for $99 each no problem!!!!

Maybe some of their fanbase has turned into empty nesters wanting to rock? Or the kids are older now? Or they got a new fanbase? RNR Hall of Fame!? Post Covid throw caution to the wind?

I am stumped.

Honestly, since they replaced the roof at Merriweather they added to either side of the pavilion what they are calling a Vertical Lawn.  Get there early and you can probably get a good spot in it.  The Cure will be covered in smoke anyways and I believe that setup also had easy access to bars.  Can’t seem to find any recent pictures of how that’s all setup.  Also, shade and no slope…

OK now do one where his head is on James Spader's body and he's kissing Holly Hunter while a terrible Ric Ocasek performance is going on in the background.
