Pittsburgh - 3rd & 5th row pit on TM now!

[skcin]

Go get 'em. :D

[amber]

Cause the concert is tomorrow, right? Were those seats showing up before?

No of course not. We got 5th row from a broker. :rolleyes:

Oh well. Once again, I have learned nothing from the ticket buying experience. :laugh:

Oh, good. (I mean, not for you, but) B/C it's the concord presale right now, and even someone who was on right when it started wasn't pulling up anything. I looked 1-1/2 hours after it started, and they had only seats that are almost to the lawn. :rolleyes: So, basically, I was trying to find out if it would be one of those VEgas type things, and it looks like it will be. :thumbsup:
Thanks. :wavey:

Yeah, I was thinking that. We'll try.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Seems like there is only one left in 3rd row...and the rest are 5th side...and clear over on the side. I think our tix are the best bet at the moment.

[skcin]

Actually, they keep popping different ones up - I just got 5th row for a single, then 3rd for a pair. Jerks. :rolleyes:

That's OK, 5th row is plenty good. I'm not going to worry about it unless front row pops up. Besides - it will be easier for us to hop over the back of our seats for Edge than if we're stuck in the middle. :cool:

I'm folding my chair down when the show starts. I'm not waiting for Edge....:lol: It's a pit. We're suppose to be cramped and smushed towards the front.

[ontheEdgeof17]

Seats 3 and 4 are crummy! :cool:

[strandinthewind]

I owuld call TM now and try and upgrade. Do not take no for an answer - ask to speak to a manager, etc. I have done this before by explaining that when I bought the tickets, I was assured they were the best seats possible, etc. I have also threatened to cancel the chrage on my cc for that reason, etc. It worked for me :cool:

[jkmaletic]

I wonder what security will be like after Don leaves? Maybe it will be how it was for FM (letting everyone in the first few rows up for the entire show), because as far as I know Don H. is the one maiking people stay back. It'll be interesting to see what happens when Stevie starts doing her solo gigs.

Good plan. The seats that they are showing are so far over, our 5th row will have a better view, though. I'll keep checking to see if seats closer to the middle will pop up.

Really? I'm sure that's the only way they'll do it, too. That's a great tip for next time I get really pissed off cause I bought something on the presale and something waaaay better came up later! :thumbsup:

whow!!! you go! good for you... that's something i would do too... right, you have a point... they said that was the best available and they lied... i'm gonna use that in the future :nod:

I have learned the hard way that for some reason, the net does not always have the best seats, though it often does. I always call TM closer to the day of the concert and they have what the net will not show, maybe it is the search engine on the net. Anyway, good luck and have fun!!!!!!!!!!

[strandinthewind]

I was just outraged at the practice of selling up. Apparently, they figure that if they release some better seats closer to the concert, people will just say screw it and buy the better seats. Thus, they sell two seats. THey also gave me this line about the artist holding those seats for friends and then releasing them at the last minute. I think that is BS because I cannot imagine La Nicks having the presence to say in another city hundreds of miles away "Ya know - I better release those Atlanta tickets I've been holding back" :laugh: Maybe these are the VIP things that did not sell, but that makes no sense because there are VIP purchasers sitting further back :shrug: Finally, the scalpers were offering seemingly some of these same seats and they are most certainly in bed with TM as I have a friend whose son is a scalper. In the end, I just bitched up a storm in a nice way and they caved.

I don't see seat #'s - how are you seeing seat #'s? :shrug:

I agree, though, too far over. I'll wait it out.

[strandinthewind]

:lol: Too bad we went through brokers on this one.

Who gives a damn. You still have the ticket and they have no clue who you are or what your relationship is to the person whose name is on the ticket.

Well, at least 6 seats are open in row 3....but they are seats 1-6.

You can see the seat #s when you scroll down a bit.

Still liking my tickets at the moment.

I can't say "Take it off my credit" when I didn't charge anything to them. :p

[strandinthewind]

I can't say "Take it off my credit" when I didn't charge anything to them. :p


No, but they do not know that the person who charged them is not making that threat and you do not know that is not what they would do - now do you. Plus, even without that ace in the hole, the other arguments have worked for me on their own :cool:

[dissention]

I love soup. But nothing with beef in it.

:eek: I love hot beef!!!

JK. I like the beef flavor for soup, but not so much the big fatty beef chunks. So I don't eat them. :thumbsup:
so, you guys sticking with your 5th rows? I mean, it's not like you haven't touched Stevie's hand before.... :shrug: :D

No, the beef chunks are the worst. The other day I was out to eat & their soup of the day was cheeseburger. I almost puked when she said it. Wet hunks of ground beef - eeewww.

I've never touched her hand. :(

If front row comes up, I'm all over it. If not, I'll wait until we get there & check at the box office. I'm not all that upset over it. I've been anywhere from 5th to 23rd row & find that I'm never as far away/to the side as I thought I would be initially. I've yet to leave a concert pissed about my seat. :shrug:

You touched her hand Tues night in Vegas. Didn't you? I thought we were all talking about it? :confused: When she touched your hand, did you play it cool??? :laugh: :sorry:
I'd be happy enough with your seats, but I would be kinda mad if I payed waaay more for them than I should have. But not really. ok.

I like that phrase, "spew some wanky bs..." :thumbsup: I said "wackadoodle" the other day to describe my cat's behavior, someone liked that. And another friend of mine always cracks up when I say, "clusterf*ck," like a traffic jam.

NO! Theresa & I were too far over to the side on Tues so we got eye contact & lots of waves, but NO hand touch! That's why I was so gung-ho & busted past the jerk-ass security guy on Wed, thinking "this is it, I'm not missing my chance this time" only to have her come down the steps 2 feet too far to my right! :mad:

OK, well Brian & I paid about $50 over face value. I'm perturbed, but not hysterical. :shrug:

Yeah, that's not bad. Oops, I guess you just got up front, not touched her. Sorry! :( I feel your pain. Literally. I think this is going to be your big night, Paula, if you can push all your cute gay boyfriends outta the way!!!!

Have you been to my house?.... :confused: :confused:














:lol:
But seriously, bean bags are sooo comfy to me. I once knew a guy with a full body size one, and it was really hard to ever want to get up, or do anything, really, once you sat in that thing. layed in it, really. I don't have any though.

Eh - they'll probably all be too busy making out with eachother to notice lil' ol' me climbing over them.

Except Brian, who will be shushing me & trying to record the show but not the melee.

Are you guys really sitting separately? Aren't you all just going to stand in a big "pit clump"???? She just doesn't want to get to close to you, she has to avoid being rabidly turned on by skinny cute gay boys in tank tops... ;)

Damn it! I wish I would have known the way that ticket master works when i first bought my tickets! :mad: This is my first time doing something like this, and I assumed that what was up the first day was going to be the best seats...I've been royally screwed! *L*

It never really is a sure thing though. In fact, these Pitts tickets are the most I have ever seen open up.

No of course not. We got 5th row from a broker. :rolleyes:

Oh well. Once again, I have learned nothing from the ticket buying experience. :laugh:

You can never tell. They released tickets for every show except Mansfield. The one show that I was going to and did not have a ticket. At least you won't be a heat struck fool waiting onside the box office like someone I know. :rolleyes:

which reminds me, my station is playing a triple shot from Petty, and said how he was playing at the Greek...which is sold out. So I will be one of those heat struck fools come late August. Except, actually, it will probably be 70 degrees and windy...but still! :D
You got good tickets, right? :thumbsup:

[Sorcerer386]

This is TRULY ridiculous. I called Ticketmaster to see if they had better seats if you bought over the phone, just to make sure. Has anyone called Ticketmaster lately? When purchasing tickets, you get a some recording, my recording's name was Kelly! Then, the recording asks you questions to which you have to answer. Okay, I can deal with the whole menu thing that you usually have to go through to finally get to a live person, but having a conversation with a recording is just plain ridiculous. I was like, what the Hell? The first time, when asked who I wanted to see, I said Stevie Nicks, and she said, "Okay, The Knack." GRRRR!!! Pay some people to sit by the phone and take calls already!
