Where are your seats??? - Page 2

Well the Worcester tix did NOT go onsale at 12:00 noon. I kept refreshing the stupid page. I was only looking for one ticket. The best I got was sec 109 BUT they asked for a stupid credit card ID # and I put the wrong card # in. The time was up and I lost that seat. I tried again and got sec 108 row HH. I guess they are OK. I am still going to have to try a $^%#% scalper.

At the same time, usually the people who log on for single seats usually get the best that there is to offer for the venue out of the system.

So, if my seat was the best single seat available to someone who logged in immediately when it went online, it makes me angry that most of the people who were promised "exquisite" seats by the fan club (who were likely to buy 2 or more seats, as most people do) were going to be worse off than if they had used the venue presale and saved the fan club membership fee.

The best section I got at 12:00 when I logged in was section 211 for three seats!! I'm like Sparky - will not be buying them today, and most likely will end up paying top dollar. I am furious about this "fan club" and feel it was all just a ploy to pad Mick's pockets even further.

I think Worcester DID go onsale at noon, however their link didn't change to reflect that. It just said "more info". I didn't think to click it anyway until 12:07, then I got my Section 1, Row Q seat. BTW, I was just checking, floor seats are still available, but not in the closest 3 sections.

What an effing crock of sh#t!!! I have a super-duper fast DSL connection. I kept refreshing the Washington, DC screen until the drop down boxes showed up. I swear I got in there like 3 seconds after 12:00 PM ET on the dot! I NEVER saw anything in the front 3 floor sections. Section 100 and Section 111 kept popping up, as well as seats in the 200's. I kept looking for 2 seats and 1 single seat and everything kept getting further back and higher. I spent about 10 minutes throwing back everything that was coming up and figured I'd wasted enough time already and needed to just buy something. The only floor section I ever saw was Section 4, Row C, so I went for that. At least I'll be on the floor, and fully intend to scope out empty seats up front, 'cause there's always a few....

And WTF is up with the $40 in service charges????

also, a single fan club membership could be logged in an unlimited amount of times on different machines.

For DC I got section 2 (front & center floor) row T, which I guess is like 20 rows back. But I got them the third time I tried. The first two times crappy upper-level seats came up.

Ticketmaster really pisses me off. When you ask for best available, why can't that just come up?? Obviously it doesn't if the first two times I look for seats 200 level seats come up, but the third time, floor seats come up??? I don't get what their definition of "best available" is!

It seems like alot of you got screwed.

This fanclub thing won't last I don't think, unless they start offering good seats.

I didn't use it to get AC tickets because I knew with that venue, it wouldn't be worth it. We all know the gamblers get the best seats.

Anusha! I remember you! How are you? Do you remember me??

Anyway...I guess more and more people will say which seats they got.

Im happy with my section, just not the row...
but its better than nothing!

laurarox · #23 03-13-2003, 12:51 PM

Anybody get decent seats for Cleveland? I've been playing around on ticketmaster for 4 hours now and nothing up close!

Livia · #24 03-13-2003, 12:52 PM

Sometimes you get better seats when you keep trying because people are actually passing them up and throwing them back. Hey, do you happen to know which direction the seat numbers on the floor start at for DC? I've got seats 1 and 2, and I'm hoping those are on the middle aisle, rather than the outside aisle. I hate when they don't put that info on the seating charts!

darklinensuit · #25 03-13-2003, 12:53 PM

I feel like an idiot, but I can't tell where my seats are. I'm Section 8 Row 10 for Philly. FM doesn't have a seating chart listed unless I'm missing something. I'm guessing the chart might match the one for the Stones. Anybody know? - JAKE

kristin · #26 03-13-2003, 01:00 PM

I have found NOTHING below the 200's for meadowlands

anusha · #27 03-13-2003, 01:03 PM

I would guess that for venues that don't have a "Concert" or "Generic" option on the seating chart, the FM stage is likely to be the "Endstage" option. I wouldn't think that they'd have the Stones setup (after all, they're only charging $150 for the top seats, rather than the $300 face value on the last Stones tour).

Janet -- so nice to be back and to see some familiar faces. I've been good, graduated from school, working in New York. I haven't been around the Ledge much lately, as there wasn't much new news and my office only recently got the internet!!!!!

Sorry to hear about everyone's ticket woes. The thing for me is that I could have gotten seats just five rows back in the venue presales without the $60 membership (granted, I shared the cost, but still), so it embitters me that we've all spent a lot of money to get seats we could have gotten without joining the fanclub. Ugh.

That said, after the rush of seeing them, I bet a lot of us (myself included) will be happy just to have gotten to see them.

estranged4life · #28 03-13-2003, 01:14 PM

tried the Ford Center link and found floor section seats still available (I tried it again and was offered ticket FLR5 Row M Seat 9 which is 3 rows behind my seat)...I used "best seat available" instead of "Floor Seat"...

Did anyone try the "best available seat/ticket" option? Brian J.

Gypsy-Rhiannon · #29 03-13-2003, 01:21 PM

Seems there are a couple of folks on Mick's board who have front row seats!

laurarox · #30 03-13-2003, 01:23 PM

I tried everything. Even single seats. Nothing in the first 20 rows, that's for sure.

I don't believe they have been made available to anyone? A Cleveland radio station is giving away tickets in rows 1, 2 and 3. So obviously those didn't go to the fan club members.
