They did this last year as well, launch the sales with a crazy high price, slowly lower the tickets as the weeks pass by.  They are confident that they can lower the price at any time and get these seats to sell at any time, no rush at all from their perspective.

I have never seen a team reduce ticket prices once they go on sale.

 

 

I have lost my shirt on presale the last few years. I no longer participate in it for any bands anymore. Ticketmaster is no different than Stubhub, Vivid, etc. these days. Unless you are a STH there is no more "face value". There is nowhere in writing where it says "OG price to the first buyer". If you unclick the "certified resale" that pricing changes with the resellers.  

I am a STH and we get a measle 4% off our tickets, basically we get a discount on the service charge. Anyways when I called my rep she told me that is off of whatever the current TM pricing. I watched the tickets I wanted (not certified resale) change in price before I pulled the trigger. The silent part they are not talking about is that price to consumer is price to consumer, and whatever their advertised price is is the current face value. 

I don't think you understand the current model of ticket sales. Because face value is basically non-existent and price changes regularly. If you want consistent face value it will cost you a minimum of $2000 for a PSL. And then you can say "my ticket is $125 ea. Otherwise that $125 ticket never gets released to the public at $125 until the market proves it needs to be that cheap.
