Will Ticketmaster release more tickets?
Often, yes: at 69 of the 100 events here, seats went on sale for the first time more than a day after the general sale opened, 1,713 of them for Nickelback at Climate Pledge Arena.
Seats come out in waves
An event rarely puts every seat on sale at once. Presales open first, often several on the same morning: an artist presale, a venue presale, a card presale. The general sale follows. Def Leppard and Goo Goo Dolls at TD Garden lists 6 sale windows, each with the seats it released.
What comes out after the general sale
Later releases are seats the promoter, the artist or the venue held back: production holds, seats around the stage or the soundboard, and tickets that come back unused. They arrive at no set time, a few seats or a whole block at once. Nickelback at Climate Pledge Arena put 1,713 seats on sale for the first time more than a day after its general sale.
How a late release shows in the counts
On an event page, a late release is a rise in seats on sale with no sale window under it. Production holds covers why seats near the stage go on sale late.
