That was not a reduction those seats are in fact 113 incl fees.

There are four different ticket prices for the A/C show

$252, $178, $113, and $81.50 prices are based on how close a seat is to the stage.

You are mistaken - these tix were originally $252. My friend has tix in sec 107 and they paid $178 so obviously these could not have been originally less than section 107. This is why I did not buy when they were first released because they were way overpriced.

No those seat were in fact always $113 if you visit the following:

http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/02004 ... norcatid=1 and consult the online seating chart you will see that the available seats are showing as "Full Price Ticket". When you move the mouse over section 122 in the seating chart the following information pops up:

Only single seats available Section 122 US $113.45 - US $252.00 This means that some seats in section are $252 while others higher up in that section are $113 but both prices are full prices.

Here is the complete pricing info from the TB website:

* LEVEL 100 SEATING *
US $68.00 - US $228.00
US $68.00 Ticket + US $13.85 Fees =
US $81.85
US $228.00 Ticket + US $24.00 Fees =
US $252.00

* FLOOR SEATING *
US $98.00 - US $228.00
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees =
US $113.45
US $228.00 Ticket + US $24.00 Fees =
US $252.00

* LEVEL 200 SEATING *
US $68.00 - US $158.00
US $68.00 Ticket + US $13.85 Fees =
US $81.85
US $158.00 Ticket + US $20.05 Fees =
US $178.05

* LEVEL 300 SEATING *
US $68.00 - US $98.00
US $68.00 Ticket + US $13.85 Fees =
US $81.85
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees =
US $113.45

It all depends on what Section and Row a seat is in. There is an available single seat in Row CC Section 122 which is one section to the right of the section where your seat is located and according to the seating chart at TM it is $252 or $228+$24 in fees full price.

I just checked out a seat one row in front of yours in section 121 and here is what pops up on the seating chart at the TM website:

Sec 121, Row CC, Seat 10
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees = US $113.45
Full Price Ticket

Here is one in the same row as your which is row DD in section 121:

Sec 121, Row DD, Seat 8
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees = US $113.45
Full Price Ticket

Sec 121, Row DD, Seat 8
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees = US $113.45

These are the prices that they are selling at today. I just verified my friend's row and seat number in section 107 paid $178 a tix and there are seats two rows in front of them now available on ticketmaster for $113 - needless to say he is not happy. This happens quite frequently on ticketmaster for shows that don't sell out.

There are still many $252 dollar seats being sold at full price no reductions please consult the seating chart the TM website all of the information I posted above is from that site. I am aware that TM often drops prices for non-sold out shows but when they do that they indicate it on their website. There is no indication of a price reduction for Jimmy's show tomorrow night.


Here are a few floor seats that are still available for full price

Sec FL1, Row 14, Seat 12
US $228.00 Ticket + US $24.00 Fees = US $252.00
Full Price Ticket

Sec FL1, Row 9, Seat 13
US $228.00 Ticket + US $24.00 Fees = US $252.00
Full Price Ticket

If ticket prices have been reduced then how much were these before the reduction?

Here is a floor seat same price as the one you bought:

Sec FL6, Row 9, Seat 7
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees = US $113.45
Full Price Ticket

So then how do you explain the fact that seats two rows lower than my friend's seat are "full price" at $113 and they paid $178? I guess they paid "full, full price". I had been watching these prices/tix for weeks now waiting for them to drop - trust me - the seats I bought were not originally $113. I'm happy and I'm done.

It seems that all seats in section 107 are and have been $113 however seats one section over in 106 are selling for both $252 and $113 depending on row and seat. It is very likely that section 107 had more then one price when the tickets first went on sale and now all that is left are the $113 dollar seats

Again consult the posted ticket pricing which does not indicate any reductions which TM would have on the page for this venue in rather large letters if a reduction has happened. A similar thing happened at Greatwoods this summer with some seats being $136 and others being only $86. The difference was the $136 seats were under the pavilion roof a great woods while the $86 were open air seats yet some were only two or three rows apart.

Here again is the complete pricing info from the TB website this has been posted since the day tickets for this show went on sale.

* LEVEL 100 SEATING *
US $68.00 - US $228.00
US $68.00 Ticket + US $13.85 Fees =
US $81.85
US $228.00 Ticket + US $24.00 Fees =
US $252.00


* FLOOR SEATING *
US $98.00 - US $228.00
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees =
US $113.45
US $228.00 Ticket + US $24.00 Fees =
US $252.00

* LEVEL 200 SEATING *
US $68.00 - US $158.00
US $68.00 Ticket + US $13.85 Fees =
US $81.85
US $158.00 Ticket + US $20.05 Fees =
US $178.05

* LEVEL 300 SEATING *
US $68.00 - US $98.00
US $68.00 Ticket + US $13.85 Fees =
US $81.85
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees =
US $113.45

Check these in section 122:

Sec 122, Row CC, Seat 3
US $228.00 Ticket + US $24.00 Fees = US $252.00
Full Price Ticket

Six rows behind in the same section we have another seat:

Sec 122, Row HH, Seat 17
US $98.00 Ticket + US $15.45 Fees = US $113.45
Full Price Ticket

Same section different rows two different prices

I vote to agree she got a deal regardless. It's always great to know you fared better than those around you. I had Zac Brown tickets that were half the price of the guy sitting 2 feet in front of me. It's luck, smart shopping and good timing. Either way, enjoy the show!

It all comes out in the wash.

I've overpaid and I've been lucky with seats half the price of the guy sitting in front of me.

This year I'm taking a chance and not buying seats for 10-27 in Vegas. The last few shows I've been to there scalpers were eating good seats left and right and taking 40% of face for them. I figure if tI don't get in the party will still be good and it's Vegas.

Even after ticketmaster reduces the price of a seat they show it on their website as "full price". Last week I was able to get "seats" for a Zac Brown concert for the same price as lawn and they were listed as "full price".
