Did Anyone Get Athens show in Presale?

[bhyman]

I was in right at 10:00 AM and it showed sold out. Sigh.

[!RollTide!]

That is what I was going for as well.  Poop.  Should be a fun one.

Same here...as soon as soon as the link showed up, I was in.  Sold out...must be people on the inside getting tickets.  I have about the fastest connection possible.

So I wasn't the only one this happened to.  The Georgia Theater is a tiny venue for Jacket so knew it would sell out quick.. not that quick though.

could be the allotment just wasn't that large.  There will be more opportunities

Roll Call allotment for a venue that small was probably less than 50.

Does Georgia Theater use Ticketmaster for ticket sales or is it only through their website? I could not find them on TM like the Tennessee Theater show.

[SpaceWrangler]

...and theyre on stubhub already.  18 tickets.  What a douchey thing to do

[Stevie]

how pathetic.... screw those guys...

[soccerphan]

Do you all think there will be any available with the 10:30 release or just the general public release?

Already 14 on stubhub.  Showed sold out before 10:30 even hit.  Waste of $15 for the Roll Call for me

Hopefully no one buys roll call tickets on stub hub because they will be out of luck

Yep.  I'm curious about how to get these on regular sale also.  This show is going to be stupid so if I have to get off stub hub I will. 

I did score 4th row center for all of the Fox though.  That place is SICK!  Super stoked but GA theatre needs to happen.

This x100.  If people keep buying these tickets 3x over face value like this the problem will only get worse.

I agree but it is inevitable.  We have been saying this for years.  My first Phish ticket was $13.50 at the local record shop.  Ticketmaster is just as much to blame as the greedy bastards who put them right out for sale. 

In the end, I love this band and if it costs me a little more for a wonderful night experience, I'm okay with it.  Simply supply and demand economics.

Again, while I do NOT agree, we cannot change the fundamental aspects of business economics.

To be honest, I think $130 is a STEAL for this ticket.  I know I'm not gaining any friends here but I have no issue paying that amount.  Just paid $65 for the FOX so it's only double in my brain and is going to be INSANITY from a experience aspect.  It's just high grade paper after all.

tickets are already disappearing on stub hub now. 

I agree, for 120 bucks it's still going to be worth it. Hopefully don't have to go that route..

just saying roll call tickets are non transferable so if you buy them on the secondary market you are shit out of luck...unless this rule has changed

Yea, I felt like this was very misleading. "Give me 15 bucks so you can buy tickets early that are already sold out so you can't buy tickets which means you wasted 15 bucks" is basically what just happened.

[Frank G]

you are correct but if you purchase on 2ndary market, you will have to meet them there day of show. All of these are WilLCall tickets from what I saw this am. 

Which will be VERY INTERESTING.  You get to look greed in the face.

I think Georgia Theater uses a different ticket service that may not support the Will Call model they usually use. They use Ticketfly, not Ticketmaster, so they might have issued paper tickets already.

Scalpers suck.
