No $25 tix for Memorial Day Weekend in L.A.?

I've been looking on Ticketmaster all three days for $25 seats Fri-Sat-Sun Memorial Day Weekend @ The Forum and nothing is showing up? I've seen this before here and there where tickets go offline but always come back. Do you guys think they are really sold out? Seems odd, since I've been going recently and getting upgrades to LOGE from the $25 Colonade pricing with "Day of" ticket buys on Ticketmaster. Also, do you guys think this is his last weekend in L.A.?

Thanks for any info....

$25 Loge tickets have been easier to get the day of the show & at the Box office just before showtime...

It seems that many $25 tickets are released late to prevent brokers from snagging them all.

I hope note. If my math is right, he still owes us 6 more nights after the Memorial Weekend shows.

Keep in mind it depends how the shows are selling, whether any good seats are available at that price. These shows will have been on sale the longest by show day, and it seemed to me like demand was up at the last one I saw. If you can get Colonnades just above the primo loge sections, you might wanna do that as a security blanket.

Last Saturday (5/14), I bought 8 Loge 10 Row J tickets at 1:45pm for $25 each...those had been $181 just minutes before. There were no $25 tickets coming up all day Friday or Saturday. Once the "price drop" hit, EVERYTHING was $25..

You might have get em from a scalper. $44 is the lowest price I've seen on craigslist. These shows might be selling better because there's been more advance time to buy tickets.

stubhub seats are about the same as the $70 ticketmaster seats so we won't be shut out entirely. i am hoping they release the $25s again tomorrow. hopefully the stubhub ones will come down considerably as a last resort

Exactly. Some of the $200 scalpers have to be getting worried, yes? Some of those nights went from 1000 available to only 200+ available, but I would think that some of those 200+ ticketholding scalpers would want to cut their losses, or at least accept less exorbitant profits than they were previously shooting for.
