I'm not closing my browser, but the number of people ahead of her means it's nearly impossible to get seats. The capacity of Pitt is 68000 with all seats, but that won't be concert capacity. with 20,000 ahead of me, it's a losing game.
By better, do you mean lower price?
In general, yes the price goes down as the show date and time approaches. I've seen that numerous times. But this is Taylor Swift, so who knows.
Why would someone resell for less than they paid? That doesn't make sense.
Because most tickets aren't held by individuals, but by reseller groups who snatched up tons of tickets using bots. The day of a show, they're looking at it like get $50 or let it go to waste. Most just want to get some $$ for it.
I didn't get Post Malone tickets when they went on sale. I got a ticket the morning of his DC show for $74. I totally missed the Lizzo tour announcement and sale and was able to get 2 tickets the day before her DC show for $121 total. All of those were bought using the Gametime app.
If you download the app and look at a set of tickets for an event, you'll sometimes even get notifications later like "hey, the tickets for X on ___ date are now 12% lower! grab 'em before they're gone!" You can watch ticket prices fall for most events as the event gets closer.
