How did everyone do? PRESALE

Janet · #1 07-21-2003, 08:32 AM

Im broke so I can't get tickets this time around, but a half hour later they had like 13th row it looked like...or maybe not, it was section 4 in Philly. But that looks better than the behind the stage seating they pulled last time.

So I wondered if anyone got those promised front row seats or anything?

Hi. I got 11th row, Center for Philly. Didn't see anything better, and all I saw closest to the sage was 11th row in the first three sections...

I'm happy though! I subscribed to the fan club just so I could get the presale, since I'll be away all weekend and wouldn't be able to buy tickets on Saturday, when they "officially" go on sale.

I was initially disgusted to find that after hitting refresh over and over again at 8:55 AM, the page finally loaded for me to attempt to get tickets. Right at 9 AM I got through (on a DSL line) and put a request in for 2 tickets. The best available at that time was section 127 row 15 or so. I tried again and again for the next hour and eventually ended up with 11th row in section 3 on the floor.
Looks like the better seats are rolling out gradually.

I think the Ticketmaster site crashed! Can't even get on it now. Geez, I hope my tickets are safe! I have a printed-out order number. Now I'm worried.....

When I checked the FM website, Philly wasn't listed as a presale today, but D.C. was listed. WHEN THE HELL DID THIS CHANGE? DAMMIT, DAMMIT, DAMMIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whew, my tickets are safe!

Not that I'm complaining, but who got the first 10 rows? That's what I'd like to know....

Just once I'd like to pay face value and actually end up within the first 5 !!!

Guess I have to look at the bright side and the fact I'll just have to yell louder to get Lindsey to hear me, LOL!

golddust · #7 07-21-2003, 11:04 AM

~~~The best I saw for the Boston show was 11th row on Lindsey's side. After about an hour and a half the TM site was no longer available - crash perhaps?~~~

I got 2 sets of tix for Denver - not the best, not the worst

I got 17 rows back on Stevie's side, first section (AAA) but we'll keep those. Then I got center section, 2nd section of that (EEE), 3rd row back which will sell (at face) to anyone that wants them. We grabbed those first but the other came up when my husband looked so he took those.

So if anyone wants our one set I'll email you the info. It's the EEE set. Face value of course and then the fees we had to pay.

Otherwise we'll see if friends want them.

I am bummed though with the presale to find seats that are so far back. At first it gave me section 354! Please!!!! I just don't get when I get in right at 9AM why I got such bad choices. I should have gone alone - LOL!

Am just happy to have seats. I'll try on Sat to get better still of course but we can't get stuck with our seats in addition.

Anyone else in Denver?

Im trying on Saturday, then Im just going to try everyday I guess.

I got 10th row last time and I want the first 15 rows this time.

I want to see where these NYC shows are and try for that too, I don't care where I am for that though.

Im sorry no one got front row, I just hoped someone got lucky!

God, I am such an idiot!!!! In my excitement of seeing them again in Philly, I looked at the FM website and saw that Philly wasn't highlighted in red, so I thought that only the highlighted ones were on the presale today. Well, it serves me right to not get tickets from the presale for this failure in reading comprehension!

Hi Lauren,
I'm in Denver. I just looked and it gave me DDD row 6. I passed on them. I've been having far better luck with "Ticketmaster Roulette" so I'm just going to stick with that method.

Hi, all… I will tell you about my latest experience with the “wonderful” fan club pre sale. I logged on MONDAY at 9:00 am on the dot to get tickets for the Knoxville show. This is through tickets.com not ticketmaster like last time for Atlanta. [ which I ended up with section 116 seats there] Anyway, the system had “errors” right off the bat….and when I clicked on the “if you have trouble click here” link………NOTHING HAPPENED! So then it says to contact the customer service and had a number to call. So, by then its about 9:15 or so……..and I call up the ticket guys at the number listed and they have no clue what is going on! They told me that they didn’t have tickets on sale yet, …they didn’t even know the prices for the tickets. I explained that I had a fan club pass word and it was the pre-sale and they said…oh well…you’ll have to contact the website service where you are trying to get the tickets! So, then I kept going back to the PRE-SALE page and the only seats that kept coming up [and for that matter are still up for grabs today] are ROWS 11, 14 17 and 20 in the floor in al three sections. And that’s the ONLY ROWS listed. Now I know that there are not thousands of people in Tenn that are FAN CLUB members waiting to grab the tickets for KNOXVILLE….so…can someone explain to me why when I when I went to EBAY last night they had FRONT ROW CENTER FLOOR SEATS FOR KNOXVILLE for $650.00? And today I checked and they had ROWS 4 AND 7 ON THE FLOOR up for sale on EBAY!

Now, since the people at the box office in Knoxville don’t have the tickets to sell yet…and they aren’t having the student/university pre-sale until tomorrow…………..HOW DID SOMEONE GET ROW 1, 4 and 7…..when they are not even LISTED on the pre-sale page , and then when you keep “trying for better seats”..the same old ROWS keep popping up? And get this, I went to look at the Greensboro tickets that went on sale the same time and with tickets.com……..and the SAME ROWS showed up for Greensboro.
Nothing closer than ROW 11. Well, except for all those up FRONT Rows listed on EBAY for sale right now!

This makes me sick. I finally got ROW 14 center….and I guess that I should be glad for that, but it stinks to know that the GOOD seats are going to greedy bastards and not the people that paid for “the better seats”!! The way it looks to me is that the TOAD has ONE set of FRONT ROW tickets for each pre-sale …and its RIGGED for “someone” to get them and SELL THEM FOR A PROFIT!

Sorry for the rant. But I thought you guys would like to know that the FAN CLUB STILL SUCKS ;-)

I have no idea what the password is for the pre-sale for tomorrow for the university pre-sale…..if any one knows or can find out….please tell me. I would like to try and get better seats if I can. The general sale is Saturday and I will try again then.

Sorry to hear about that - you know, tickets.com screwed up the Oakland pre-sale too...and my bringing attention to it, led to my banning from Mick's board....

People still need to be told this? Sad, isn't it?
