AXS tickets Las Vegas

Post by DTWphins »

If you thought Ticketmaster was bad, AXS is a real scam. Tried to get main floor tickets for Vegas show a week ago with Amex presale for two tickets with no luck. Tried this week with MGM presale, got in right on opening time, there were not 2 tickets available together anywhere in the arena. It conveniently sent me to a partner site where I could purchase tickets for $1400 a piece. Tickets go on sale to public this week...what could be left ???

In general I agree with you on AXS. However, I did get floor seats in the AmEx pre-sale. I don't know what did the trick but we had to re-try several times before the floor seats were available.

I have been told that sections A,B, and C haven't been available to the public for years (except in the secondary market). These tickets go straight to high rollers and ticket brokers. So about the only seats available on the floor are in sections D, E and F.

Struck out again in general public sale. I usually had no problem getting tickets in amex pre sale when it was ticketmaster handling the tickets. Guess Jimmy doesn't get my $250 a ticket this year. Also had a friend who is the highest level at MGM casinos tried to get tickets and was told by the casino host there were none available.

I agree. I never thought in a million years I would say this but I hope they use Ticketmaster next year. I feel dirty for even saying that. :(
