Gilt City Presale

[Mahgeetah34]

There's only a PayPal confirmation email and none from Gilt City yet. Is this....normal?

I received an email from Gilt right away, might take a bit through paypal

[RoughGod]

Scored a single for Athens!!!!   

Hell yeah man! I'm pretty sure you and I will be meeting up... Mike D's buddy I presume?

Thats right.  Good looking out here.....I owe you a beer or 3....

Crap, hopefully that's the case. The order is confirmed under the Gilt City account, there's a paypal email but still without an email from gilt city.

I got a confirmation email but have not gotten an email specifying what seat I got.  Has anyone gotten a seat assignment email?

Chatted with a Gilt customer service rep and he said we'd be receiving vouchers after 24 hours with seat assignments.

This is nice! 

Just got GA pit for Chicago!

Is it a download of the new album or the Chicago show?

is there a place to select ga pit? I'm only seeing an option for ga pit or main floor.


I didn't read all the details. It looks like the ticket location may be a gamble. I'm just happy to be in the building!

[werduga]

Just picked up 2 for each ATL show, hopefully they are as good as they make it sound. Wish I could have gotten Athens!

[Vibrations]

So, how is Giltcity supplying all these good seats?

HEY BAND! BAND MANAGEMENT! CC!  This gilt pre-sale is bullshit. You ask your long time fans to join your fan club for a pre-sale that has very few tickets. Then a day or two later you have this pre-sale with a copy of the album tacked on. An album lots of us have already fucking bought,  I might add, just to up your first week sales of it. Plus,  you don't send us an email letting us know it's happening, so we might be able to get tickets. Maybe because you are too embarrassed to admit that you  roofied all of us with roll call (which has always sucked in the customer service dept btw) and now you are just straight up having your way with us and taking selfies while you do it.

Yeah,  it's nice you guys are making money. I'm going to keep letting you find new ways to convince me to part with my school teacher big dawg salary. Just know that this is a sad way to exploit your fans. I understand pre-sales are a great way to make more money for everyone,  but exactly how many tickets are going to be left for us on Friday. How many of us are going to be forced to go to stubhub.  I know pre-sales aren't always held by the band, but for a company to have every non festival date up for sale with an added non optional digital download tacked on, this has to have been ok'd by the band. This is just bullshit.  Go do some transcendental meditation and a couple of sun salutations to that.

This is bullshit. I got royally screwed in the Monday presale, because my roll call membership needed "reset", so I lost out on even the chance at seats even though I paid to be a roll call member. And now this stupid presale worries me even more. I really hope I can score decent seats at my shows now. I don't want the MP3, I've already bought the vinyl...

Since it's tied in with the record download, I'm figuring the band has given it's approval, and the tix most likely come from what they're given for their presales. Which would mean to me it comes out of tix available in the RC pre sales.

I don't see a company like Gilt having arrangements with promoters or venues across the country to get their own deal for tix. I guess it's possible, but I wouldn't think very probable.

[subinai]

Agreed

[Mahgeetah34]

Now now, the album download isn't that big of a deal since its the regular version and I'll still have to buy deluxe just for 3-4 extra songs. No email is odd, but this presale really helped me out since I caught it at the right time and happened to miss out on Monday's roll call sale. 

[tdb810]

All I keep thinking of is the phrase "jumped the shark" in reference to the time frame when Ground Control and Roll Call became involved with our beloved band.

That said, I will continue to see the band whenever I can, but refuse to jump through hoops like this.

Glad someone said it. It appears they had a lot more tickets too.

Wow this is some serious bullshit

I dont know.... I had similar feelings of anger after seeing that the tickets I would have bought from Gilt were sold out.  But I have come to realize that I'm only mad because I didn't get tickets.  Many around here were able to take advantage of that so good for those people. 

We go through the same song and dance every time tickets go on sale.  Some people don't get exactly what they wanted and they blow up and we get 10 to 20 page threads about it.  But then the public on sale happens and low and behold the vast majority of people got what they needed. 

By the way, what happened wit the OBH sound check?  I was there but the only sound check i caught wind of was BOH.  There were a good amount of security guys down there and you couldn't stand right up on the stage but the guy i talked to was kind about it and told me to watch from near the soundboard.

People are mad because they dropped a decent chunk of $$ to have access to presale tickets.  When the supply of those tickets are drastically cut (as it seems in this case) in order to supply a groupon-esque presale open to anybody, fan club members have the right to be pissed off.
