Reply to comment by darockerj in Anthem refusing to refund Arcade Fire tickets by porterpilsner

Two of the shows were originally sold out (according to the Anthem website) but it looks like tickets are available for all the shows.

Not sure if they added tickets (which sometimes happens) or if they are quietly doing some refunds if people make a big enough stink, and they are reselling those.

It was originally one night and the additional nights got added based on demand.

Ok, that's what I figured happened. A lot of question marks fired off in my head when I saw that all three nights were suddenly not sold out.

Could also be that they added tickets to avoid the market being suddenly flooded with resale tickets from people who don't want to go anymore.

It isn't any of this.

Any concert that isn't a completely local show holds tickets for use by the artists, promoter, venue, agents, etc and so on. As the show date approaches, these tickets either get directly sold or used as comps, or they are no longer needed by any of the above parties and get released.

At any venue over 1000 capacity you're nearly always going to see tickets pop up closer to the date
