That's exactly what they did. That's how it works unfortunately for pre-sales. They won't open the entire arena for anything because some of those tickets have already been bought by radio stations, promoters, and scalpers and because their website would crash from everybody trying to get on. I went on SeatGeek on Sunday night looking for a more detailed seating chart for my venue, and I saw there were already tickets being sold for seats in the 100 level on the sides and some on the floor, BEFORE the pre-sales had even started. Now if those were legitimate tickets I don't know.

I couldn't use the interactive seating chart for my venue because TM blocks it if there's "too many fans buying tickets right now." It wasn't until I went on later that I saw the interactive chart again.

But I understand your frustration, these so-called pre sales are sad because they give away somewhat good tickets and then there's nothing really good left when the general sale happens about a week later. Some people don't realize how these things work until it's too late.
