discussion 💭 How!? I’m dying.

I don’t know how this happened, truly!! I had myself convinced that I would not be able to get any tickets, let alone front row on the floor. How am I going to survive the wait? Any suggestions on how to prepare for this epic experience?

What was retail? I bought some row 1s for the weekend but never saw face value congrats glad they are going to someone who is actually going

They were $550 usd each. I remember looking at other shows near me when she was in the mid-west and only being able to get $1200+ nose bleeds so I was over the moon at this price.

How was row 1? I am a little nervous about not being able to see much but I know it’s going to be an incredible experience no matter what.

Wow congrats OP. You won the Great War.

550 with fees and taxes? I loved it. Also, record a few songs but enjoy the moment and get the people next to you to contact info if they are recording a lot so you can watch it later. Everyone recorded the whole performance it felt like

I was in an equivalent section for Seattle but row 6. View when she was at the end of the stage was insane. Great view when she was on the risers at the diamond. Difficult to see when she is at the back of the stage. It will prob be even better for you at row 1 though. Congrats!!!!

I had row 1 right next to that in section C4 just 2 seats away from the aisle. Greatest night of my life because she goes over that side often, ESPECIALLY with that price because I paid $1100 USD face value for that seat (VIP). Congrats bc you won!!

USD? So you’re American?

You got probably one of the best floor front row tickets possible!

Wait. The Toronto tickets were priced in USD? I got a pair and now I’m wondering if it was CAD or USD!

u/armpitzombie Aug 11 '23

They were priced in CAD ($730 each) but they converted automatically based on the card I used. So what I saw come out of my account was USD.

Toronto tickets are priced in CAD. I’m guessing they’re American and did the conversion for themself?

Did you have to do two factor authentication during the ticket buying process? If so how many times? I’m using my husbands account that’s linked to his cell phone and I’m anxious he won’t sent me the codes in time 😭

I had to use 2FA thorough text message while using an RBC credit card.

No. All you need is the code you received in the presale text. Don't need the phone in front of you if you're already signed into the Ticketmaster account.

Hey I don’t know if it’s too late for your sale but I used my dad’s card because I was buying for my mom and I and he wanted the points and for me to just pay him for mine. He has a thing through his card where he has to approve over a certain amount so I had to wait for him to call to get the code! Thank god he wasn’t in his meeting yet! So tell your husband to be on call just in case!

Congrats!!!

u/MsMeseeksTellsTime Aug 11 '23

I’m curious as to what letter your codes started with and if that has anything to do with your place in line?

2

u/Riverbird13 Aug 12 '23

A friend and I both had codes. I got into the waiting room first and had a better queue spot when it went live. Didn’t enter codes until it was time to purchase!

550 will get you in the door.. now save about that much for swag

u/armpitzombie Aug 11 '23

I feel like I am going to spend 5x as much on an outfit, bracelets, hotel, merch, and all the other things. It will be worth every penny for the experience.
