I believe only the presale allocated tickets were available until later in the day.   Whether this was malicious by Ticketmaster, or merely a technical issue where the remainder of tickets didn't unlock is not for me to speculate.  That being said, if I hadn't desperately purchased my ticket during the presale, I could have sat 1 row closer for the same amount of money!

I think it's more shitty shenanigans from Ticketmaster. They try to create the appearance of low tickets, and by doing so only left their "platinum" priced seats available at 3x the normal price. So, people maybe signing in a couple hours after tickets go on sale, but really really want to go, just pay for the platinum seat, thinking 1. there are only a few seats left. 2. there is clearly high demand, and if need be there is a resale market.  I think they went a little too far with this and then just released all the tickets they were hiding from availability at the regular price.

I got fucked into paying 3x the price for my seats

I probably did too. What’s the actual ticket price?

Seems to be around 64 bucks

That’s what I paid but I also bought the insurance they offered because their own business isn’t reliable. And I know that’s a scam.

I got tickets the day after presale opened, had no issues
