Arrived 5am, only "single" wanting a premium so managed to get in. Crossing my fingers for everyone else - we had lots of fun playing heads up! (premiums still $477) "When did you get there? I have never even heard of premium tickets getting released to the cancellation line. Is it common?

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 throughout the day, they can walk in...

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 in, and buy two tix, then swap. Now they'...

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. Doubtful, as is the digital lottery, but I certainl...

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 people have grabbed these tix just by showing up at BO. After the lin...
