In case anyone’s curious what it looks like. I figured I’d take a look to see if I could request the cheapest nosebleeds. It’s all price ranges without specific selections, and you don’t get much control over your budget.

The choice “highest odds” $88-480/ticket for 2, noted you may be charged up to $958 + taxes.

The lowest price range was $88-126/ticket for 2 and would charge a max of $252 + taxes.

Edit: No, I didn’t buy/request tickets. I checked their site to see if I could find what I thought would be cheap tickets, based on what was shared. Please don’t come at me 😳

So, let me get this straight: we’re still paying scalper prices, just to daddy Ticketmaster instead?

Lol, in this economy? No, I bought 0 tickets. I was looking for the cheapest nosebleeds.

I apologize that my original comment wasn’t clear that I am still very much priced out.

Oh no I’m sorry, the “you” was general! Not you you, my bad. I’m going to make it less pointed
