Turns out it's not nearly as popular as I thought. Seems like half the seats in the dome are up for sale. Granted most of them resale but even direct from ticketmaster there's still entire rows available, including on the floor. I don't even think the floor is half sold.
Was the entire ticket allotment bough up by scalpers or what? Figured tickets were expensive enough that margins would be slim.

Did you click on prices? Anyone who was following the map during the pre and general sale knows it was hot. I watched each section start out blue with every seat disappearing within seconds as they came up. Then sections would add a few more seats in various rows and they'd disappears within seconds.
I've been following the frustrations of this tour a bit online and while some of it is the same as other major tours, there seems to be two things that were way more pronounced on Blink's tour.
1. Verified resale appeared at ludicrous prices immediately after the general sale. Now this isn't uncommon, but with Blink the sheer number was insane. I mean just look at all the pink on the map right now.
But these aren't tickets that may not have butts in seats, they're just people/companies fishing for crazy prices and they'll come down until they're sold
2. Their "platinum" tickets were way more plentiful then other big shows, like absurdly widespread. Just click on any of the blue dots on the map and see what they're charging.
Sections 213-223 in the back half of the Dome are mostly $332
The 100 sections in the lower bowl mostly $450-$950
The floor $400 (at the very back of the floor as there is the "Pit" in front of floor seating) - $950.
