Ticketmaster Question

LikeAWillow · #1 07-23-2005, 01:06 PM

Right now for the Tuesday show in LA I have seats in Orc 9 row DD, but I'm pulling up better on ticketmaster now, and I was wondering whether or not I would be able to upgrade my seats within the same price level by calling ticketmaster? Also, if that is the case, do I call the phone number for LA or for Pittsburgh? *that's probably a really stupid question, but I've never done this before*

No, you won't be able to, from all accounts I've heard.

Damn! Oh well, I should just be happy with what I have. Thanks for the information, though, despite however much I didn't want to hear that answer

You might as well try it. I've heard some people have been successful upgrading tickets.

Really? Then I guess it's worth a shot at least! * I have a feeling I'm setting myself up for dissappointment

I've upgraded through Ticketmaster a few times for better seats, including moving from lower balcony to 4th row orchestra for Vegas! I just call them and beg really nicely to let me upgrade my tickets. Every single time I did this though, the cost was higher, because the tickets were better. You need to make sure your credit card can handle the extra charge.

Also, I've learned from talking to other fans, that the only way they upgrade is whenever you print your ticket right off the Ticketmaster website and no paper tickets have been issued for your seat. Maybe you could work something out with them to turn the tickets back in somewhere, but it is so much easier on them just to void your original ticket and issue another one via the internet.

Good luck!

But do you want to live the rest of your life wondering what might have been?

The sad thing is, I so would live my life wondering! If I don't try, I'll be looking for the people in the seats that are up now and thinking to myself "that could be us..."

Wow! all the stories I've heard of people begging didn't work.

Good to know.
