Was this show ever sold out? I thought it was, but I got a notification from Ticketmaster saying to buy tickets for it which "[I] thought were gone" (or something like that).

I just wanna sell mine, man. Beck was the whole reason I was going.

Two of the shows were originally sold out (according to the Anthem website) but it looks like tickets are available for all the shows.

Not sure if they added tickets (which sometimes happens) or if they are quietly doing some refunds if people make a big enough stink, and they are reselling those.

It was originally one night and the additional nights got added based on demand.

Ok, that's what I figured happened. A lot of question marks fired off in my head when I saw that all three nights were suddenly not sold out.

Could also be that they added tickets to avoid the market being suddenly flooded with resale tickets from people who don't want to go anymore.

It isn't any of this.

Any concert that isn't a completely local show holds tickets for use by the artists, promoter, venue, agents, etc and so on. As the show date approaches, these tickets either get directly sold or used as comps, or they are no longer needed by any of the above parties and get released.

At any venue over 1000 capacity you're nearly always going to see tickets pop up closer to the date

It was sold out. We bought tickets for Friday before they added the other two shows. Sucks about Beck.

Friday and Saturday definitely were at least as of July 27th, because that’s when I bought my Thursday ticket reluctantly. Unless they were lying lol

Probably not. Aren’t they doing 3 nights in a row?

apparently so. didn’t even realize they were doing that.

especially weird since IMP typically only does that when the first night sells out. guess they really banked on all of these selling out.
