RADIO CITY PRE-SALE UPDATE

Quotewow... shut out 3 times now. :-[

That sucks.

QuoteNormally I am a very positive thinking person, but right now I am so pissed off. This is the third time I tried to get tickets and I'm shut out again. Why cruel world!!!

Hey, Elizanne, one thing I noticed in all of this is that for some reason, "Best Available" wasn't working. You need to actually pick a section. Try that if you havn't got one already.

QuoteHey all...I kept upgrading my tix, so I have two extra pairs to dump. Obviously only looking for face value. I have ORCH 6 Row YY from the MusicToday presale (which means the tix probably won't arrive until May) and ORCH 6 Row OO from today's Ticketmaster sale (which I guess will get here sooner). PM me if interested...I'll be back online again later this afternoon.

Pete

PM'ed about a pair...

Yeah, I've been shut out three times too now. What's the point of pre-sales when there's no tickets available?

Penny Lane · Jan 25, 2008, 10:40 AM

i am desperate here, if anyone gets 2 and wants to dump them, let me know. i live in NYC so i'll def be at the show. i can't get thru and my boss keeps coming over here-not sure how long i can keep going in:-(

thanks.

tell me about it... especially when there's a shit ton of these for sale by scalpers already.

Hopefully some kind soul out there will help me out with a pair at some point... at least we have about 5 months til the show, so who knows.

BH · Jan 25, 2008, 10:41 AM

QuoteThe first person to contact me only wants 3, so I need to make sure I can find a person looking for a single ticket... if someone def wants 1 single ticket please send me a PM (if someone who already sent me a PM but will now take 1 ticket let me know they will get priority over a new request)

Sorry to make you repeat it, but where is the single located?

I did manage to get one. So I'll be there. The rest of the people I'll be on vacation with will have to find something else to do. ;)

It is the 33rd row in the Orchestra, but the person who asked for the 3 doesnt need them anymore, so I do not have a single to offer...

Right now FetusTree has the option for the tickets

as if anyone wasn't pissed enough already, i gotta tell everyone.....i called ticketmaster about a 20 minutes ago, and although it doesn't say it yet on the site, this show is sold out. the only way to get tickets through ticketmaster is if people cancel their purchases, which i doubt will happen as this show is obviously a hotter ticket than we may have thought it would be.

speaking as a fan who managed to get tickets (albeit crappy ones)... congrats MMJ. quite a feat.

Penny Lane · Jan 25, 2008, 11:01 AM

i heard that from someone as well. (sold out)

that is so awesome for the band (not so much for peeps trying to get tix).

they have to be ecstatic!!!

congrats. i'll just sit here and sulk. great name by the way. PJ!

JerseyRich · Jan 25, 2008, 11:06 AM

It sucks that bands are under complete control of the MSG corporation when it comes to ticket sales.

The Roseland show that I went to at the end of 06 was such a nice experience...from getting the tickets to going to the show and being able to stand first and second row for the whole show.

Congrats to MMJ for selling out so quickly, but it sucks that there are so many ways for a real fan to get screwed when getting tickets to a show such as this.

In the end, the band's image is damaged because so many fans have to go to evil ticket brokers online or on Ebay.

I got my two tix in the 2nd Mezz. Doesn't matter where I'm sittin', I'll just be happy to be there and witness this amazing music. Just hope people behind us won't mind us standing up and shakin our asses!

Long live rock and MMJ.

marshmeli · Jan 25, 2008, 11:08 AM

The 4 extras I have are sold (or will be once they arrive from TM)

Penny Lane · Jan 25, 2008, 11:12 AM

hold the phone..i just got another single ticket and then my friend was helping me and he got me 2 so now i have 4---

keep trying people!!!

NoVa_NoLa · Jan 25, 2008, 11:25 AM

OK...it's NOT sold out. Not sure why, but I just pulled a single in the center after being denied when I requested a single in best available.

Thankfully, most of the live music that I see does not involve TM. Dealing with them this week has made me more grateful for every opportunity I get to not use them.

Rub · Jan 25, 2008, 11:28 AM

Well, if anyone comes across an extra pair, please let me know. Obviously these tickets are hot (I hope they add a show), but it goes without saying that it would be much cooler to unload any extra tix to fans rather than putting them on eBay. I'll definitely hook anyone up who wants to party before the show as a thank you. ;)
