Presale Ticket Discussion - Page 8

Columbus pre-sale was not fantastic but I bought. I'm in Floor 1 in the back. If I find a good deal or if the platinum seats drop further I might try my luck again and sell my current seat, but I guess we'll see as the date draws nearer. I should have waited it out but I just couldn't resist.

No floor options in Chicago..

Actually looked at the lowest "platinum" prices and a few 100 level (front row in sections on the side closest to the stage) are equivalent or a few bucks cheaper than what I was getting for Amex presale.

Those seats would be my plan B if good floor seats were not available. The chances of getting my idea of "good floor seats" on the 17th is starting to scare me. Wondering if I should get those side 100 seats..I don't know!!!

The lack of dates in the Southeast is kind of strange to me. There's 2 southern FL dates, and then Atlanta. And that's it.

Oh, Lindsey where is the Southern love now?!

That settles it -- a BN Southern Safari Tour must happen!

Yeah, I think they're being very conservative with 34 dates. Maybe add some in the Southeast, and also double up in bigger cities in the Northeast...so like, I can get decent seats in Philly or NY...

Haha! I was actually going to ask you, do you think we'd have this much difficulty with BN tickets? There is something about the two of them that makes acquiring tickets impossible... Although, maybe not as many people would want to see them if they weren't doing FM songs (One can hope anyway! Haha) The whole idea of a BN tour makes me happy *goes off into happy place*

They seem to be playing it safe/conservative. See how much people are willing to shell out and how well shows sell...

Personally was surprised there was no Cleveland or Cincinnati date. But then there is Columbus, Detroit, Pitt, and Louisville which are all close to those cities (sort of). But you know, Cleveland! Rock and roll! Come on!

I definitely expect to see more dates, but who knows when or where.

On a certain level probably especially since it would be smaller venues and they surely would hype it.

I was surprised about Cleveland too! I would have tried for those. Saw Stevie w. Rod there this past summer.

I have been in the front row at many shows, and I have been in the 2nd row at many shows. There is no substantial enough difference warranting a $600 price hike. I don't even think Stubhub would charge these prices either.

Holy crap .Talking about price gouging .Have to take out a mortgage to get FM tix these days.

That is nuts.

Hmm, well. If they were to do this tour, they better be very explicit that no FM songs would be sung. I just have this bad feeling at such a concert I'd hear things like, "When are they going to sing Dreams?"

I'd eat Hamburger Helper for a year to get tickets for such an event.

Now I just want to be in the first 20 rows.

Same BS here in Texas! Absolutely no floor seats in Dallas and a few floor seats in Houston, but none in the front sections. Ugh, I am so angry I could cry. Here is to all of us having better luck on Monday!

Someone needs to get with Fleetwood Mac's management and make some kind of deal with The Ledge. I mean hell, radio stations get their own presales, why can't The Ledge have one?

Kept getting bad seats here (rows 21+), so I tried for half an hour to get better seats when Ticketmaster blocked me from accessing their website.

How are you supposed to have customers if you offer bad seats (sorry, I'm not paying $400 to struggle to see over peoples' heads) and then block you from trying to get better seats?

sodascouts · #**119** 12-14-2012, 12:21 PM

Same here, Moz! I'm in TM jail and "still forbidden" now because I kept trying for half-decent seats that TM never coughed up. What the freak is that about??? Don't they screw fans over badly enough without this kind of crap?

I heard that they block computers for 24 hours.

I emailed them at care (at) ticketmaster.com, told them what happened, and gave them my IP number. Hopefully they'll unblock me.
