Latest updates from Robert

OK... SO I READ THIS https://t.co/KnMk2tB0ye... AND I DISCUSSED IT… AND I LEARNED “Stubhub is not selling Cure tickets except in NY, IL and CO (where transfer is enabled)” AND “Seatgeek is not selling Cure tickets at all”...

— ROBERT SMITH (@RobertSmith) March 21, 2023

BUT “Vivid and Ticketnetwork cater 100% to broker sellers and are facilitating the activity as described by VICE”

— ROBERT SMITH (@RobertSmith) March 21, 2023

SO… "Don’t buy on scalper sites like Vivid and Ticketnetwork where they are selling accounts. If you need a ticket, Ticketmaster’s Face Value Exchange will be available shortly"...

Verified fan sale is today

HAVE BEEN TOLD "We will continue to sell tickets to those who are verified until there are no more tickets to sell" -X

— ROBERT SMITH (@RobertSmith) March 15, 2023

The verified fan sale is today. Congratulations to everyone who got in! For all of us put on the waitlist,  best of luck in getting picked to participate today.

According to the venues, there were supposed to be some normal, no registration needed, presales on Thursday and general on sales Friday. But if the above tweet from Robert/TM is accurate, it sounds like they may sell out today. Who knows? Let's see what happens, and if they don't sell out, hopefully those presales will happen tomorrow. Good luck to us all!

Update: Doesn't look like those presales are happening now. Austin had all the details listed in their website, but now that has been removed.
