Official TM Drop Discussion Thread

I did a search and didn't come up with much. I saw that most venues tend to release more tickets the week prior to the show but these were mostly reserved. Do they release Pits too? Am I wasting time checking TM every day this time of year?

Those who have gotten drops in the past maybe you could share how long before the show it was and what you got.

Also, I was thinking as people learn about drops we could post the ticket you got, when you got it and the show in here to try and keep track this year.

Thanks,

    The day of the show is normally ripe with drops. My friend didnt have an Alpine N2 ticket last year and pulled a really nice lower about 1030-11am the morning of.

    Similarly, anyone have experience just going up to the box office day of show and buying or exchanging tickets for something different/better?

    TM will not let you exchange/upgrade your seats. You would have to buy new seats outright. Ive heard a fair amount of success stories like that actually. Particularly at blossom.

    I've purchased a really good single for SPAC in the weeks before the show, was years ago so I cannot remember the exact details, but I want to say within two weeks of the show.

    There actually is a policy in place which allows you to get a refund for your tickets if you find and purchase better tickets for the same show. Unfortunately, however, the ability to do this ends 1 week before the show.

    I think it honestly depends on how "in demand" the tickets are. I was able to do it the day before for a Ravens game and day of for a few Decemberists shows. If you just ask nicely, it's easy to do.

    That's pretty cool. Has anyone actually done this before? So if you just scan for drops and find better seats, you just have to notify them and they will refund what you currently have?

    I did it once back in 2012 when there was a ticket drop at Deer Creek. The tough part is getting the tickets switched before someone else purchases them.

    Really hoping for a Gorge drop soon...

    The langauge makes it seem like you don't need to exchange them on the spot. I read it as buy the better seats and contact ticketmaster after and they'll refund you for the crappier ones.

    I did this once to upgrade from lawn. Purchased them first and then called. At the time, unless they changed it, you were supposed to be on the phone switching them during purchase. He did it anyway with no issues though.

    They did that for me last year with my Maryland Heights/St. Louis tickets. They were quite helpful.

    If it's just going to be used to announce drops, I can sticky it in the Ticket Exchange.


    If it's just going to be a discussion thread I don't really see the point.

    Not a drop but I was planning on going to mansfield for the show struck out on tickets and was hoping for a drop. The ticketmaster website says NOT MANY LEFT does that place actually sell out this early? Don't want to get completely shut out.

    I think that anyone that had contributions to a discussion has already posted. I'm cool with moving it to the ticket exchange. I'm on there more than general these days anyways. Thanks!

    This is not about a drop- there is a new thread in the ticket section dedicated to that now. I don't know where else to post this question

    Got an email from TM saying my Alpine tickets will be coming shortly... Now I know the top of the even page on TM that all ticket orders are held to ship until June 22nd or so...? Anybody receive a similar email?
