Question here. I went to Raw a few months ago and met someone who said they bought premium tickets a few hours before the show and got them for I believe he said half the price. I'm just wondering here, should I wait until the day of the upcoming Raw on December 10th and try my luck for premium front row discounted seats, or should I just settle for premium 3rd row seats now? I'm just wondering, do the tix actually go down in price as the show approaches?? If I can wait it out and get front rows the day of the show cheaper, i'd do it.

Ticketmaster Premium Ticket Auctions are exactly like buying from the secondary market. Ticketmaster monitors the "market value" of the tickets, and the proximity of the event, and determines their prices accordingly.
They absolutely do drop the prices, usually by at least half, with about a week or two left. Then, they'll dump them into the public pool during the final week before the show, at which point you can snatch them up at face value + service fees if you're lucky enough to catch them.

Interesting, thanks. All I know is, if I can get row A, I'm happy. Sat 6th row in last time at Raw, hell of an experience but need front row this time.

Honestly, you'll probably be okay just checking daily and waiting for them to at least drop in price. People tend to ignore Ticketmaster auctions. They're ridiculously overpriced - even more than the secondary market. They think they can get away with it because it's "secure", but people would still rather go with a broker like StubHub if the price is better, and who could blame them. There are also almost always front row seats available the day of the show, but it's a gamble, of course, waiting that long. |

I think it depends what city & venue you are going to. Plus, it depends how many tickets from the WWE get turned back into the box office. It will vary everywhere. Big market cities, like here in Chicago, don't have a strong chance at ringside tickets right before the show, because they always sell out. If I were you, get the guarantee seats. Then if you think you can get a front row seat, try it. Then attempt selling your other seats. It's safer to try that then to strikeout the day of & be empty handed.
