Who's Going to Worlds?

Got mine! All balcony except for a random loge for pairs SP. Would've liked more premium seats but I didn't want to spend that much (really need to be saving). But it's my first time and I'll get to be seeing all of my faves live so I can't complain.
 
Only balcony seats are left for the singles FS. guess I won't be going to Worlds then. I was really excited to go and I was willing to spend more money on the better seats but spending on hotel/airbnb, transportation and what not, all just to view it from the furthest balcony stands? count me out :( marginal costs exceed marginal benefit in this case. :(

why are people allowed to buy a lot of tickets just to resell them at a higher cost? that should be illegal

i know the japanese fans do this with their skating black market, and apparently stubhub does it too.. so unfair. a part of life i guess.

I just checked the All Event site and there were 2 Balcony Circle All Event tickets left. Second row I believe, for $350 plus applicable fees. I don't know what your budget is, but that might be an option and you could sell whatever you don't want.

There's an 8 ticket limit on Ticketmaster, so they are either sending multiple people in to buy or just collecting them from others who simply can't go now. Unfortunately, we can't control what's done with the ticket once it's purchased. It's not only done with tickets either, I've seen hard to get Christmas items show up on Ebay for 10 times their original cost. Supply and demand I guess.

I recommend that if u really want to go keep checking ticketmaster. My experience with them is that tickets that were not available before somehow become available later. I have an all event balcony seat row 5 almost center ice. I am hoping the views will be ok. Could not justify the more expensive all event ticket. I am hoping I can pick up closer seating for one or two events but I am willing to wait for my price.

i was hoping on getting premium seats / inner bowl for the men's and ladies' free skate. i was saving up to buy really good seats because im traveling from the other end of the country and i wanted to enjoy it to the best possible. at that point i thought it would be worth it to spend all that money on transportation and hotel/airbnb if it meant getting to view the competition from a great spot. but for balcony seats/circle balcony seats, eh i guess it's not as worth it to me. (i know i sound like a spoiled brat who'd rather pay more or not go and not pay less haha)

I respect everyone's priorities. Unfortunately, Premium seats were all pretty much sold out with the All Events. Less than 50 were even available for the public sale.
 
I got home from work late. I bought an all event ticket months ago, but wanted to buy an exhibition one tonight. Every time I click search for best available tickets it comes up with: 'We were unable to process your request. Try again later.' Is this because there are no more Seats at the moment or is Ticketmaster going wrong? Frustrated!

I think you need to refresh your link. The "best available" was the option this morning I think to handle the volume and now they've gone back to selecting your own seats from their interactive map.

I don't know if you saw my earlier post about exhibition seats, but there was a delay getting all the inventory loaded. We are expecting quite a few more to be added in the lower bowl sometime next week.

Either way, the Captcha comes up and I fill it in and then that message comes up. On iPad. Is that the problem does anyone think?

Thanks for the news about other tickets. But bit worried that this will keep happening for me now.

I purchased an exhbition ticket earlier using my iPad so that should not be your issue. I just had ticketmaster find me the best seat.
 
Not the fault of anyone here so apologies, but I have reached screaming pitch. The link provided very kindly is producing the same problem. So I tried it on my phone and I got past captcha. Great! But then I searched, found a ticket in Loge 8 and tried to purchase it. Every time I enter my payment details: oops we've encountered a problem and it crashes. I'll give them bloody oops. Honestly, the Ticketmaster site sucks!

Next time, you should already have your account created and payment details entered BEFORE you buy tickets.
 
Which I have now done- I had already made an account, just not stored payment details. However, it still is throwing me out, now saying that they encountered a problem. Does this site ever work? Or am I just jinxed? :curse:

I hate this bloody site. I give up.
 
Are you able to enter payment details? Not buy tickets then enter payment details, just enter payment details right now for your account.
 
That is what I am saying. I have entered payment details. And I then click buy and it is saying that delivery option is not available for my region- eTickets. Is that not available to my region? Can't work out how to change it even because it won't let me onto the delivery tab.
 
I have honestly NEVER in my life had so much trouble on a ticket site and I buy tickets for theatre, concerts etc here in London all the damn time.
 
FINALLY it worked! Loge 9, Row 26. Not exactly the seat I wanted, but after that palaver, it'll do.
