Webster Hall: May 4th

[delongpre]

Never got a code (aol user), missed the radio presale.....so are they going onsale today at 10 am or 12 noon?

So I am kind of freaking out. If Dani's dad bails, then there goes my roomie for a hotel for Webster. If Caitlin can't get tickets, then there goes my partner for hotel and the Today Show.

If this completely falls through, is there anyone still looking for someone to share a hotel with? Anyone wanna offer their home to a poor college kid?

I'm serious.

I just gotta figure out if he'll help me with my flight-- I can do everything else. At latest, I'll hear tomorrow morning.

My bad... TM must have changed sales time just as they changed 'will-call' provision

tix now go on sale 12;00 noon, so start refreshing 11:50 and GOOD LUCK

I also just checked STUB HUB and they have about 30 tickets for sale at prices ranging from
$ 140 to $ 180 per tix, which IMO is not terribly bad , compared with what i have seen asked and paid for on other broker sites

If it were me and i had no luck w TM this noon time I would IMMEDIATELY gobble up what
I needed at STUB HUB , cause as we all know there are only 1500 tickets out there

Tried several times to help others; came up empty this time. Sorry.

$140/per from Stubhub is very reasonable, all things considered.

[delongpre]

No tickets at 12:10 pm?

[Macfanforever]

It's very possible every ticket that was available for the masses was sold in the various presales.

[Macfanforever]

I'm in.LOL . through Stubhub. at $148.00.Thats if I dont get screwed.The tix will be delivered via Fedex.See you all at the show.I hope.LOL..........

[Amlyn]

The person who was going to take my extra ticket backed out because they couldn't secure enought tixs.

So, have one ticket to offer up, face value.

If you want it, please PM me.

I keep forgetting that Webster's total capacity is 2,500, but only 1,500 for concerts. I've only been there for parties that have utilized the entire space.

FYI: StubHub adds a surcharge of 10% of the entire purchase to the total, plus a $5 charge to download tickets or $12 for 2-day shipping.

As a began typing this there were 15 tickets in the $165 range available. A few minutes later, 5. In a matter of minutes, those were bought so I edited my post. There are about 100 tickets are in $180 - $240 range. There are many in the $300 - $600 range and someone is trying to get $1,200 a ticket; another seller, $1,500.

eBay still has a few reasonable Buy It Now listings.

There are only are only about 5 tickets in the $165 range left (there were 15 when I began typing. That's how fast they're going). Most are in the $180 - $220 range. There are many in the $300 - $600 range and someone is trying to get $1,200 a ticket.

I just got mine just in {Nicks} of time LOL.The bill had about $30,00 surcharges.plus
$12.95 fedex charges.now lets see if i get them.Hahaha.I,ve never dealt with Stubhub before.
$179.00 now on Stubhub. probably that $1500 ticket will be the last ticket to go.Wow.he or she got high hopes.

StubHub is owned by eBay. The one benefit of StubHub is that it guarantees every purchase. LiveNation/Ticketmaster provides links to StubHub when they sell out (which is very suspicious and has many convinced LiveNation holds tickets to scalp at inflated prices to create demand).

Still, it's funny that general admission tickets are priced from 180 to 1,500, but it's the seller that sets the price.

Tickets for Adele's House of Blues/Boston show were $27 general admission tickets (and two dozen 3rd floor box seats for $45), but they're going for $350 to $2,000 on StubHub, eBay, etc. And they're selling.

I'm guessing that by next week, Webster Hall tickets will be at least $400 a ticket in the secondary market.

I was turned off by the fees associated with stubhub and I don't like the scalper aspect of it. No matter which way you look at it, those were not people who bought tickets and then realized they could not go and then sold them. they are scalpers who bought in order to do what they are doing....make money.

So sad that this turned out this way. We really were psyched about seeing Stevie in such an intimate venue. If anyone has an extra ticket to sell at face please pm me. I would take one but would love two so I can take a friend with me.

Thank you and congrats to all who got tickets.
