I don't know how things are going to today but from what I understand SOLD is charging a fee for a certain amount of time of waiting (not as long as they were doing before) plus the price of two premium tickets. However if tickets are not secured, the client is refunded the price of the 2 premium tickets.
Seems like more money upfront but less of a financial commitment if they don't get any tickets. I assume, since premium tickets (when offered) are offered thr

Well, according to the RULES last weekend, the clients had to be present to purchase their tickets. The sitter could no longer purchase for the client and the sitter would be skipped in line to the next patron that was present to see the show. You may want to direct that question to a sitting company to get the current status of things directly from them.
In the meantime, this whole rules thing is truly " A. HAM" "A. Hot Ass Mess" LOL!
"
First, I totally agree that this is a hot ass mess! Second, I like that you're up at this hour to chat about this hot ass mess!! 
But as we know from previous experiences, "premium" tickets are released throughout the day. You're right, I should ask the line sitting company but I wanted to see what experienced line sitters thought about this idea. Hypothetically speaking, a professional line sitter could buy 2 premium tickets at 11am, 8-9 hours before showtime. Is the BO going to make them sit in the lobby until showtime? From what I've read, the professional line sitters have always passed on the premiums.

That's correct! The premium tickets were brought out and offered to us as they became available, it was fairly random. The bouncer would come over, tell us what tickets he had available, and we would all point out the person who was next for them. Teamwork!
Good to know, thanks!

Thanks for the info! Do I understand correctly that the 7 premium tix were sold 4 to 8 hours before showtime?

Interesting indeed. They may be waiting to see how tonight plays out. If it goes badly like last night, I figure they may have to cancel their existing reservations. I don't see how they can continue taking reservations (and money) knowing 100% that they won't be able to get tickets.

Not anymore due to the new policies. I have a SOLD reservation for next week in which I paid for the line sitting fee plus the $177x2 because at the time they were able to sit in line, walk

Thanks for the updates re: premium tix. I'm going to see how it plays out tonight, which should start around 5pm since that's when the Line Sitters have requested their clients to swap out.
We'll probably just get in line as soon as we can (which isn't very early thus why we hired the line sitter) and see if we can get a premium ticket. Or if fate allows, we may be able to afford a StubHub ticket and print it with enough time to see the show. Doub

Hey folks. Let me get right to it....premium tickets for $477. After reading the line sitting drama that unfolded last night, I have a few questions.
From what I understand, these premium tix are the first to be offered and they are offered to the cancellation line in order. How often do these tickets usually go unsold? After the line passes them up, does anyone get a shot at them even if you're not in line? I've heard that peopl
