Too bad we went through brokers on this one.

I have learned the hard way that for some reason, the net does not always have the best seats, though it often does. I always call TM closer to the day of the concert and they have what the net will not show, maybe it is the search engine on the net. Anyway, good luck and have fun!!!!!!!!!!

I was just outraged at the practice of selling up. Apparently, they figure that if they release some better seats closer to the concert, people will just say screw it and buy the better seats. Thus, they sell two seats. THey also gave me this line about the artist holding those seats for friends and then releasing them at the last minute. I think that is BS because I cannot imagine La Nicks having the presence to say in another city hundreds of miles away "Ya know - I better release those Atlanta tickets I've been holding back"

Maybe these are the VIP things that did not sell, but that makes no sense because there are VIP purchasers sitting further back

Finally, the scalpers were offering seemingly some of these same seats and they are most certainly in bed with TM as I have a friend whose son is a scalper. In the end, I just bitched up a storm in a nice way and they caved.

I don't see seat #'s - how are you seeing seat #'s?

I agree, though, too far over. I'll wait it out.

Who gives a damn. You still have the ticket and they have no clue who you are or what your relationship is to the person whose name is on the ticket.

Well, at least 6 seats are open in row 3....but they are seats 1-6.

You can see the seat #s when you scroll down a bit.

Still liking my tickets at the moment.

I take that back. Seats 1-12 are open in row 3.

Wait - that's a good point.

I can't say "Take it off my credit" when I didn't charge anything to them.

No, but they do not know that the person who charged them is not making that threat and you do not know that is not what they would do - now do you. Plus, even without that ace in the hole, the other arguments have worked for me on their own
