A little disappointed that the crowd wasnt full but when tickets are $300+ for floor seats, I guess that’s to be expected.

This is what I hate about ticket master's resale policy. Scalpers bought up tons of seats and then immediately listed them for resale at double and sometimes triple the price. Lower bowl seats were $133 face but were being listed for $300+ almost immediately. The empty seats you saw were seats that scalpers couldn't sell. Once the doors open, Ticketmaster cuts off all sales of tickets.

Also, the tickets in the upper bowl were also $133 face when they went on sale, and I think really only sold because the lower bowl was so expensive due to scalpers. Ticket Master did eventually drop the price on the upper tier tickets.
