Roll Call for Athens, GA - The Georgia Theater

[werduga]

I think as long as you use ticket fly you are ok and can probably transfer them ahead of time. It's ticketmaster that has to match the name of the purchaser. I just tried calling to verify, but maybe they are at lunch.  I've bought dozens of tickets of CL in the past without any problems.  "Frank Crawford" probably stood and talked to me for 15 minutes about shows we'd both been too, so reason to think anything was fake.  I also saw people get turned away at the Hozier show at Variety Playhouse the next night and their tickets looked identical to mine I bought from the box office. So people beware! Lots of shady people out there...

Oops, I take back what I said earlier about names not being on ticketfly tickets -- they sure enough are. Now that I finally opened up my ticket vault and looked inside, I see that it's true. Sorry about that.

So if the Theatre is supposed to replace a scalped ticket for face, why didn't werduga get that opportunity?

I love this idea, but I have never heard of such a thing at the GATH...but then again I haven't seen a whole lot of completely sold out shows there, and not many of my friends deal with scalping tickets in the first place

[werduga]

Well my ticket was scalped AND fake. There were 6 ppl with the same name on their tickets.  Luckily I got in, but if 14 ppl show up with the same ticket I know they'll be watching through the door when it opens. I just want everyone to be careful and aware of the steps they take to stop scalping (which I applaud, but how did all those tickets end up on stub hub so quickly?) hopefully I get one in the AM or my next post is begging someone to take me with them!

I have to call them about it to confirm (rather, they need to answer their phone) but they posted a very long winded response to someone who was complaining about their policy on an sts9 forum and that was part of the post.  At work on phone or i would dig it up.

Yeah, fake tickets are a whole different ballgame.  No venue will take a fake ticket if it doesnt scan right or if its a printed ticket that has already been used.

I have a good feeling about tomorrow.  As small of a venue as it is, if all of us are there right at 10est i like our chances.

I use Ticketfly every year for the Drive By Truckers shows at the 40 Watt.  There are no hard tickets issued.  Not sure if it is the same for the GA Theatre but I would assume it is similar.  The person who bought the tickets is on the list at the door and just shows their id and wristbands are given out then.  I always buy 2-4 tickets and you just have to have everyone with you when you check in. 

[werduga]

I think the only hard tickets issued are the few that people currently waiting in line at the theatre right now.  The tickets we (hopefully) get online will be will call or have your name on them when you print them.  You can sell any extras(help others on the forum!) but those people have to walk in to the venue with you.

not one ticket available 

[soccerphan]

I guess I will miss my first Georgia show.  No tickets available as soon as the link was open.

[zenofmalarkey]

not one ticket available 

Same here. Nothing available.

[werduga]

Were there even ANY tix available? I was ready and it just said none available. Such BS!!!

[soccerphan]

I wish I would have known we would have zero shot at getting them online.  I would have taken the day off work and driven to Athens to get in line. 

[Ironcross]

If any one has a spare tix, I am interested.

[timmyhead]

Wow, I guess I'm one of the few that got tickets. I was refreshing right at 10 and was able to get 2 (the limit). It even gave me a print at home option but I guess we'll see if that changes. I'm shocked - really wasn't expecting to get tickets. Hopefully there will be some extras floating around that aren't scalpers. Good luck!

Scored another single from Ticketfly.  Actually hearing that most of my friends were successful getting pairs this morning.....

[jaye]

I got tickets which is a miracle.  Sorry for those who didn't - I've been there many times. 

Sad to see so many already on stubhub with quantities of 2.  We're up against professionals here!

My folks not so lucky either, i had success getting 2.  Stoked.  Although I will say I think $160 is not bad for a ticket.  I'm probably going to have to purchase a few on the Hub for my friends.  It's a good buddy's birthday so he's going one way or the other.
