I wanted to get 2 tickets to see ELO at the Wells Fargo Center in Philly next Friday (Aug 24th). If I knew they were touring, I would have bought them back in November. Any deals on tickets the last day or 2 or insight on how to score a pair at low cost? Thanks

Look at the different broker sites, people take their comped tickets and resell them. The market gets flooded at the end, driving down prices also. Also better tickets that we’re never for sale suddenly are for sale.

I agree with FW, I would think the best thing to do is go to the event, and watch Stubhub on your phone. I would think that if you waited until 15-20 minutes before the start, the prices would drop like flies.

That's how I would do it.

worst case you just buy whatever 5 minutes until.

The worst thing is to buy them when they first go on sale. Why tie up your money for six+ months and pay astronomical added fees. Rarely do the price stay high.
