Another presale fiasco

[skcin]

I'm on the website right now trying to get tix, BUT EVERY TIME I CLICK ON "BUY TICKETS" FOR THE HERSHEY SHOW IT LINKS ME TO THE PRESALES FROM LAST WEEK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fanfire said there's a "problem " with the site & keep trying.

Well, F*CK ME VERY MUCH!!!

Paula

[skcin]

Same thing happens with the "BUY PAcKAGE NOW" option - still nothing! It's been over 15 minutes! GODDAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P

[WelshWitchPMD]

I am at the library on my lunch and I am having the same problem!!! I am ready to scream right now which is NOT a good idea!!

[skcin]

25 minutes in, the "glitch" remains - STILL NOTHING! I'M AT WORK SNEAKING AROUND TO DO THIS, FOR GOD'S SAKE, I CAN'T SIT HERE FOR MUCH LONGER!

Paula (about to cry)

:mad:

[WelshWitchPMD]

NOW ITS SAYING THAT I NEED TO UPDATE MY MEMBERSHIP!!!! What a bunch of BULL this is!!!

[skcin]

Oh, NOW I don't have the correct MEMBERSHIP to LOG IN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:mad:

[WelshWitchPMD]

Yep thats what I got now its OK. Keep in mind at at the library! The site has still not been updated and the customer service told me about 10 minutes it should be OK. That was 15 minutes ago :mad: :mad:

[skcin]

Should have known right from the start, they'd break my heart (AGAIN!)

I feel very angry & stupid right now. The site has kicked me off, can't find server, can't log back in. F*CK THIS.

[wondergirl9847]

...good to know that there are no more fan club ticket problems anymore! :thumbsup:

:rolleyes:

[skcin]

2 minutes later, now I'm logged back on but I am still getting linked to the old dates. Ticketbastard is looking better & better...

:distress:

P

[skcin]

40 minutes in & still no tix. I am the most gullible fool in the world obviously.

Paula

[WelshWitchPMD]

OK I give up. Ticketmaster and Ebay are my new best friends. Better go eat now before I pass out.

NOPE wanna guess who's tied with you?:confused: :eek:

[skcin]

I'm tired, I'm thirsty (not to mention hungry, since I'm on lunch & haven't eaten.)

Giving up. Good luck Patti & the rest who are trying. Guess the first presales went smoothly - first times a charm? Second time definitely sucks.

Paula :mad:

[Livia]

Wow, this really sucks, sorry you guys! *sigh*

It's just one more link in the chain, isn't it? One of you should email the fan club ([email protected]) and attach a link to this thread.

Just curious - are people on Mick's board having problems too?

[skcin]

Yes, the people from Mick's are having the same problems. BTW - I went back on & got my tix - AT 2:10pm EST (presale was supposed to start at 1pm.)
I'll let you guys know if my ticket is any good when I find out where I'm sitting (yeah, I'll be holding my breath for THAT email!)

Paula :(

[mbr33]

How were you able to go back in to order the tickets? I'm still looking at the same dates that were on there earlier...no changes.

edit....just got through now myself...can't wait to see if they were worth the effort.

[Livia]

I just got this email:

We wanted everyone to know that there was a short delay in
today\'s ticket presales. The problems have been fixed and
tickets are now on sale.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

Just got the same email - what a f*cking joke! Thanks for letting me know that there was a problem 1&1/2 hours AFTER I realized it and 20 minutes after I already went back & got the tix!

DICKS!

My friend was going to order tickets today for Madison and she had the same problems as everyone else. However, for some reason, I didn't have any problems with the website on my computer so I ended up buying them. I hope everyone who is trying to get tickets get 'em! Good luck! My other friend who is sitting next to me wanted me to add that Lindsey is delicious :)

So you're telling me that some people got thru fine at 1pm for the presale that started TODAY & others didn't? Now I'm VERY pissed - it was bad enough when I thought NOBODY was getting through, but if some were able to get tix & I couldn't... Man, this just keeps getting better!

P

[WelshWitchPMD]

I just got mine about 10 minutes ago when I got home. Boy did I have problems too. It told to put my 2 digit state code about 12 times. :(

I better get good seats!!

[Livia]

Pattie, I'm surprised you're even getting tickets in advance, oh ye Queen of Front Row at Last Minute! LOL

Yeah but this show that I am getting tickets for is on my birthday. I really want front row for this show. I am taking a chance but ebay or even TM might have been a better choice.

[princessblair]

Actually, I didn't order until almost 2 pm. My friend couldn't access the site, so I thought I would try. I have no idea why I was able to get through, but I hope everyone was able to get tickets eventually. I know from past experience how frustrating it can be when things don't go right.

Yes, everything seemed to be OK at 2pm - a little late, don't you think? That's when I got mine too.

P

[princessblair]

My friend still couldn't log on to the site after 2pm...at first I thought it was just her connection, but then I saw that everyone else had problems too. I think the whole fleetwoodmac.com site has problems. I can't download the demo of Gold Dust Woman from there, but yet I can order tickets...what gives? Which show are you going to Paula? We splurged for platinum tickets for Madison and bronze for Green Bay. That's about all I can afford.

[skcin]

I got a bronze ticket to Hershey, PA. I'm going by myself this time, which I'm actually pretty excited about. Now I can just have a blast & really enjoy myself instead of worrying if the person I'm with is having a good time. My boyfriend & friends will go to Hershey Park w/ me & stay in the park while I'm at the show. Hopefully, I will get a great seat since I only need 1!

It is too bad the fan club really hasn't changed much. I am lucky I don't have to deal with it this time. I won my tickets on one of the local radio stations.

[princessblair]

I've never been to a concert by myself (or a movie in the theater). I only go to Mac shows with people I know who like them. I once attended a John Mellencamp concert and brought my friend and she sat down the whole time and pouted while my sister and I stood and sang. Concerts are not for sitting! Paula, you'll have to let us know how your solo adventure goes. You might be able to snag a single seat in the front rows. Are you going to any other shows? I'm really excited to bring my best friend Kris to the Green Bay show. I helped introduce her to the Mac by giving her copies of Rumours, Tusk and Say You Will. Once Kris listened to Rumours, she finally put a band name with all the songs (like Dreams, Rhiannon, Go Your Own Way) that she hears at work on muzac. She's really excited to go! She'll be graduating from college on May 8th, so it's my graduation present to her for all of her hard work :)

Good for you! Congrats! Which show did you win tix for & where are your seats? P

[skcin]

No, this is the only show I'm planning on attending unless they announce more dates in Western NY. I saw them 4 times last year, though, so I'll live, lol. I usually go with someone who likes Mac, but the usual friends are unavailable that night & boyfriend has tired of my obsession. So I decided to give him a break & go it alone. P

[terrivac]

It is for the show in Cuyahoga Falls, OH (Blossom Music Center). The venue itself is nice but the drive out just stinks so I don't attend many concerts there. The last time I was there actually was for Stevie's show. The seats are in the pavillon but I don't know where yet. Most seats there are good so I should be ok. The radio station will be mailing the tickets to me in June.

Good luck getting your tickets. Given your aggravation with the presale I hope you get good seats.

The only pre-sale I did was Philly on the first leg. After a similar delay I got the very last row of the floor (as Marissa can tell you).

I am hoping to get Woodlands tix on Tuesday, so to be safe I did a practice run on Friday using the current pre-sales. After having me update my info, I got the same message as skcin.:rolleyes: I e-mailed the Club at the addy it says to & got an automated response to use another addy. Then they told me I'm listed as having a FREE membership. :rolleyes: Only in Fan Club World does $80 equal free. They asked for me to copy and paste my confirmation of a year ago (a hassle on this computer, so I went in to work on Saturday:rolleyes: ) and now I'm waiting to hear back. On the bright side, I so enjoy my $80 calendar (the one that matches my tour book so well). This crap better be uncrappified before Tuesday.

Well, had you not told me you'd be wearing sunglasses on the top of your head : snickers : let's just say I still would have been able to find you....he's not kidding when he says he was in the last row. Good luck with the presale. I'm going to be taking my chances for Atlanta and Camden (i'll be taking my chances going to Camden too :laugh: )

Better check your account in advance, Marissa.
Also, why do I have to hear about the Destiny Rules show from a poster here? Isn't that what the Club is for?
Anybody have another $80 I can borrow?

[Rumours]

I had a lousy time getting my Cleveland tickets, too, just like you all were having trouble.....came home from work to do it at home, sat here wasting a half hour before it would let me do anything!!! I was so P***ed!!! I was right there, at 1:00, put in 2 tickets, and could go no further....the damn site wouldn't let me complete my purchase!!! Well, not until 1:25 of course. But being first come, first served, I'm just sure I'll wind up with great seats!! :rolleyes: Yeah right fan club people, like all the other folks that jumped in there and completed their purchases before I could aren't going to get the better tickets!!!! Kiss my hiney!! :mad:

Terri, good luck with the radio contest seats....the only seats I've ever won from radio stations were lawn seats!!!!!! I hope the station that you listen to gives out much better seats!!!!! :)

Totally loving the picture of Stevie and Lindsey... one of my faves now... I don't think it was Lux who took it tho. :)
