Can someone tell me why it’s acceptable practice to have 2/3 of the metro centre sold (all floor and lower bowl) for a concert when you are first in line for tickets? What kind of bullshit operation is this!!?

Now there’s a bitch not worth bitching about. Go cry somewhere else.I’m In a surly mood
I went online for Bob Dylan’s concert tickets at 9 a.m. and got floor seats first try. Luck of the draw, I guess.
That’s the ticket (no pun intended). Go online next time. There were also a lot of presale tickets sold. I know because I got 6 of them that way and know several that did. The system may suck but you got to take advantage of the best resources available to you.
The ticket vendors (Is that the title?) are probablly retired bouncers. They sell ugly people tickets far from the stage so shots of the stage will only showcase the beautiful people.
I feel your pain and agree completely. I bought tickets online at 9am exactly, had to wait maybe 5 minutes before I got through and when I did, only the ‘sidestage-upper bowl-can’t see shit’ spots were left. how does that happen?!
I would share my trick for buying tickets online for the Metro Centre, but I fear Metro Centre staff and ticketing agencies would read it and stop it. But I have zero problems getting the tickets I want. ONLINE is the way to go. Suckers only stand in line.
