Here's my reply in the other ticket thread, it's valid here also...
I hear ya, Miranda...I've been aware of the "selling down" thing and the promoters holding back tix until the last minute thing for a long time. Normally, I don't get "caught up in the hype," which is obviously what JT was counting on. I feel like an idiot for that, but at this point, I'm more pissed about all the OTHER fan club BS than anything else.
I agree that the fan club should have been working with Sticketbastard MUCH better than they have - and given fan club members a heads-up and first dibs on these newly released seats. Allowing us to "trade up" would have been the perfect solution for those burned in the fan club pre-sales. At this late stage, you'd have to pick up your tix at the will-call window. So why not let us turn in our first tix to be re-entered into the system and re-sold at the box office? Seems pretty fool-proof, as long as you have a valid receipt to distinguish "us" from scalpers. My receipt clearly says "Fanclub presale" on it.
Yeah, hindsight really IS 20/20, isn't it?
