Hollywood Bowl 8/20

Big 'ol wait room situation. Get in line while you can.

[mdgsolo]

Well, that was frustrating.  Got in the waiting room early and suddenly tickets popped up 15-20 minutes before the 'artist on-sale'.  All of the good tickets were missing and only side obstructed or way back were in inventory.  Added the best of the worst to the cart and then started to second guess myself that somehow I had gained access to a different sale and I should wait?  Something has to give with this ticket situation.  Bring back fan club priority tickets please..

[kyle_s9]

I heard the same thing on the Fleet Foxes subreddit. No real good seats.
I'm still in line though.

Probably won't even bother with this show now.  Too bad they are playing the bowl.  Take me back to the 3 night run at the Wiltern.

[mdgsolo]

Is there a public onsale for this show?  Did it already happen?  Hollywood Bowl website has no info.  What a cluster

[kyle_s9]

Public onsale is same time next week.

I'm going to try that sale. This was disappointing.

I'm flying in from Toronto for this, I want to make it as good as possible..

[brob]

This is the first sale.  I'm assuming the front sections are mostly for season ticket holders.  LA folks might know more details about how that works.

Not sure about that, these are considered "lease events". Just got back from 3 nights of phish at the HW Bowl and we had terrace box all 3 nights. Can't imagine this show will even be a fraction of the demand for phish. No idea what to think though, other than they released no good seats on this presale

[Landathelost]

If anyone is looking for a single there are 3 scattered seats available in the "super seats" sections (sections G1 and H) which are the stadium style seats behind the terrace level. I just grabbed one but there are a few more. They were not available earlier.

Thx for posting. Could have upgraded a bit but I'll hold out to see if something closer pops up. Just excited to see the HB.

[walterfredo]

I'm a little confused as to where these tix will be sold today. It's not on TM or AXS. Link through the venue is only showing package deals. Anyone know?

54 minutes. Ha!

[walterfredo]

All these boxes will be available closer to show date, guarantee. we're holding out for a garden or terrace box.

Another ticket shit show.  It's getting so hard for the fans that know every word to every song and have supported bands like this through the years to get tickets anymore.  The system is so broken.

Waiting room number supposedly random but so was the time it even opened.  Got in on the hour to see number 2290 in line.  After 30 minutes of waiting of course there's nothing but nosebleeds or obstructed views left!

Plenty of good seats on StubHub though at $500-1000 each..

agree it is all f'd up. But I would strongly recommend not buying anything right now. The venue will, at best, be 1/3 full. All of the amazing pool circle, garden box, terrace box seats will absolutely become available. Don't buy into the FOMO game they try to suck people into and sell the shitty seats first. It's nonsense what they do.

I just got back from 3 nights of phish at the HW bowl, and all sorts of garden and terrace box tix became available for face in the week or so leading up to the shows, and the demand for those shows was WAY higher than this show will ever be. Don't play their game, wait it out.

[Cameron]

Good to know! I got a decent single but would definitely upgrade.

GREAT advice Walter and you're 100% correct. It's all part of TM/LN evil monopoly. No question they hold back good tix and play on people's FOMO. It's gotten even worse with their advent of dynamic pricing which thankfully we don't see MMJ using.

I've refused to play their game for years now and have waited it out for shows I want to see, and can't even remember the last time I didn't get a good seat in the days leading up to a show. Hell, it seems the longer you wait the better seat you'll get for some shows.

[kyle_s9]

I ended up getting tickets in section K. Better than presale, but still annoyed that nothing closer was available.

[Zooey]

Some box seats are now available.
