Should I upgrade to Gold membership on Cash or Trade? If so, what’s the advantages? I really want to see Phish at Hampton and I haven’t secured tix yet. I’ve put in offers on 6 or 7 on CoT already. Any insight appreciated! ✨☝🏽✨

I do a decent amount of commerce on CoT, and dropped Gold a long time ago. Doesn’t help in any meaningful way, and sad to say, won’t help for the Mothership.

Not worth it if you tried 6 or 7 times. If you happened to be a few dozen tries in by now, then yes, “gold” would make a difference.

There are 3 outcomes for the tickets posted on Cot. 1) they get sold to 1 of the first persons that the seller sees in their inbox; 2) the seller looks long and hard at the tons of buyers and selects the perfect, most just offer; or 3) the ticket dies on the vine, and it never gets sold.

I suspect that, for the tickets that sell, the first scenario is most common by a wide margin. For a high demand show like Hampton, I believe there is next to a zero percent chance that the seller sees an offer unless it’s gold.

There too many gold members cramming their inbox for that not to be the case, unless the seller is on some sort of quasi-miracle mission to specifically choose a non-gold buyer.

For any normal demand show, there is no difference. That said, if you want to have a chance getting a Hampton ticket on COt, you need to pay the $36, because there’s a ton of people that already have. My $.02 Long response- never used bsky before

I got a gold membership to score a Mann ticket this summer. It worked.

No? Just terrible? Or, what feedback have you heard? I haven’t read the best things. But, I really want to go to Hampton.

It's a mess. I wouldn't give them any money.

Yea? Doesn’t help improve chances? Or….? I’m reluctant and I haven’t heard the best reviews. But, I really want to go to Hampton!
