Got a pair thank goodness, but looking for a third. Did the other presale from Gilt City allow more that 2 ticket purchase? I actually support the 2 ticket limit to cut down on scalping, but wondered if they had same restrictions on Gilt City.

PM me if anybody has a spare. Peace!

well now.. aint this some shit.  I just received the pdf tickets that i purchased from stub hub (immediately after the roll call presale) and sure enough, the name of the original buyer is right there on the ticket.  So i facebook the person. 

Guess where they work. 

I almost want to post images of the tickets (sans barcodes) so that others who purchase 3rd party tickets can bring this with them as leverage in case they are turned away at the door.

[AtDawn]

Off my soap box, back to what's important for our purposes.  I did some more reading and found that Georgia Theater has a policy of not letting you use the stub hub or craigslist ticket, but they will sell you one at face value to replace it.  Now, i need to check on this but if you have stubhub and something goes wrong they will give you a full refund.  If this is truly how it works out, then Georgia Theater is doing the right thing.  The stubhub customer gets a ticket at face value, they get reimbursed for the previously purchased ticket, and they still get to see the show.  At least the ticket that you bought previously acts like a place holder.  However, this is all good in theory.  I need to make some calls and see what will actually happen here.

If what you've said here is true, I would be shocked if the Theatre wouldn't do anything about the fact that their employee is trying to make a profit off a ticket he probably got for free.  Especially if they have a direct policy against using tickets bought off Stubhub.  But I don't know, I might be reaching.

he works for the ga theater?





it sucks, but you probably shouldnt go fuck with his livelihood over some scalped tickets that you were willing to pay for

[clockworkpug]

That dude is making it so that people who can only afford face value tickets, are no longer able to attend the show.  Sure he will find buyers, but it's a shame that certain people will miss out because he is trying to make a huge profit.

ALL the Ga Theatre employees know the rules. I'd say 6 different people told me the same exact thing about my Modest Mouse tickets on Monday with another person's name on it...

Can't wait for this show!

Still looking for a third ticket if anyone has a spare. Please don't make me choose between taking my wife or my college roommate! That's a tough call...

No, i have no interest in doing that.  I don't see it as my job to dole out the justice.  He or she will get their due eventually.  I just thought it was rather shocking at first, given how adamant they are about the ticket policy. 

On the other hand, these tickets will be used at the venue.  I would imagine that if they look at the name they would instantly recognize A. I know this name B. This person is not my co-worker.  So at this point, if they give any grief about the mismatch i really don't think they have a leg to stand on.

Should be an interesting night. 

[bullcityjacket]

Hey everyone, long time lurker, don't post much. Huge fan (as we all are!). Like a lot of you, I  wasn't able to get a ticket, even though its right down the street form my house. I just wanted to put it out there that if anyone has an extra, I'm looking for one.

For those that got tickets, enjoy the show! It's a great room, and seeing them there will be amazing! Hopefully I'll be there rocking out with you!

[AtDawn]

I guess I just got into live music in a culture where scalping is unacceptable in any way, but I've sort of taken on a double standard for MMJ just because it seems to be more acceptable in this scene.  But I also probably just see it as a larger problem because I live in Athens and consider it home and it sickens me to know this is going on at my favorite venue.  And the more I think about it, there is no way they should be getting away with this.

And I'm not sure who else could be doling out the justice other than the fans themselves, I doubt the managers of the Theatre have the time to go hunting through Stubhub to see who's scalping their (most likely) free tickets.  Not to mention, I'm guessing they would have to buy the tickets to even get the seller's info.  If they do indeed have rules against their employees scalping tickets, they are there for a reason and are probably hoping fans come forward.

I happen to be the one who got in touch with Stevie first, and I actually told one of my buddy's last night that I would sell him the extra because I wanted to see the show with someone else who was excited about MMJ but hadn't seen em yet.  Unfortunately I don't think he can swing $128 on one ticket, so I'm going to do some investigating and see what the Theatre has to say about this sort of thing in general.

What I can't figure out is if you purchase tix on the 2ndary market as printouts or an email, who is to say they will not be sold to several people?  So then it becomes a rat race to see who gets in first?  Make sense? 

I just emailed a few folks with tix and I'm skeptical this is going to happen.  Thoughts on this one?  Does TicketFly transfer tickets in any way? 

Thanks

It happens all the time and is a common scam. I've seen many people turned away at shows  because the ticket won't scan as they weren't the 1st ones with it to go in. Exactly the reason why I won't buy a printed out ticket from anyone other than a friend.

I know Stubhub has guarantees to protect the buyer but I'm not 100% certain how that works. If it's a tough ticket, and sold out show I can see them giving you your money back but I don't know how they could guarantee you a replacement ticket.
