I paid face value (170 USD) for Reflection Section. How?
For each show, they always release a very limited amount of tickets the day of the show. Usually this is because they reserve tickets for VIP/sponsors/family/etc but they don't show up or go to the show, so they release the unused tickets literally the morning before the show. So yeah I got a good deal. Very risky though so I suggest you have a cheap ticket in advance in case everything doesn't work out.
If she's in your area for two days, that's even better. I had tickets for the second day. Tried to get RS tickets for the first day, got them, and then immediately sold my tickets for the second day on Stubhub at a very cheap price (since I only had 24 hours). I actually lost a little bit of money, but still a good deal for RS tickets
170 for a single ticket? That's a good deal I guess. Let me start saving. Maybe I can take my mom (and dad?) too, she likes Katy and has never been to a pop concert. Kinda glad she's taking her time now that I think about it
