Question on how concert ticket sales work.
I got tickets for the Offspring show in So. Cal. this summer. They were first made publicly available in a "fan presale" on the internet a few days ago (through Tickemaster). I signed in the second sales started. There is a "Pit" section (general admission right in front of the stage, cool!), then Orchestra seating, Loge, etc.
Even though I signed in immediately, I could not get any "Pit" seats. I did manage to get in the first few rows in Orchestra, which is cool, but Pit would have been really fun.
Today I noticed Pit tickets all over ebay from ticket shops. How did they manage to get these tickets?
(Anyone have any connection with Columbia records - last summer I noticed a few hundred people in the wings on stage - would love to get some stage passes
)
