PM me

I picked up a couple pair on the flloor in Sections 9 and 10

And if you end up with nosebleed seats tomorrow ... Get ahold of me because I will be letting them go for face value.

If nothing else I just kept 2 pairs of floor seats out of the hands of scalpers  LOL

Title: Re: "WHAT SEATS I GOT IN THE PRE-SALE!!" THREAD
Post by: dstunbound on Jun 26, 2008, 10:28 AM
I think the key is to look for single seats, not two at a time. You can still pull floors/lower levels.

Not sure where the GA would be, I've seen four NYE shows at MSG, but none had a GA section.

Title: Re: "WHAT SEATS I GOT IN THE PRE-SALE!!" THREAD
Post by: EgoTesticle on Jun 26, 2008, 10:36 AM
Something else you should realize:

This was not a FAN CLUB pre-sale.

The pre-sale code was sent out to everyone on the mailing list for MSG, which means it went out to a whole lot of people.

This was a real hodgepodge of seats. No front row Section 1. They just threw out a bone to see what the immediate response for tickets was this morning.

And the only way there could be GA is if the stage design incorporates it because, Ticketmasters seat plan has sections right up to the barricades.
Title: Re: "WHAT SEATS I GOT IN THE PRE-SALE!!" THREAD
Post by: whothrewthecake on Jun 26, 2008, 10:38 AM
so according to that chart and what i can gather from stubhub, sections 1-4 will prob be GA?

Quotei got 2 for section 130...boooo....i  need 6 tix on the floor....ticketmaster stubhub and ebay can all blow me!!! whats the point of the presale anyways..when it's like this


word to that, presale is for fans who like to get disappointed and shoot evil glances at everyone who got somewhat decent seats

From experience, NYE at MSG is the best venue in the world. It's easy to get around, the ushers aren't dicks, the sound is LOUD, the sightlines are great. As long as you're in you can move around pretty easily, IMO. If you get a floor ticket, you're even better off.

Im buying for me as well as some friends, and I thought I'd be better off getting seats in pairs than getting a block of 6, so I've got a pair at sec 133, row B; a pair at section 40, row M; and a pair at section 9, row N.  If any of my friends back out I'll sell their tickets on here for face, but I'll be keeping the section 9 seats for sure.  It's too bad they're that far back, but I can't complain about getting floor seats.

Spent a half hour attempting to get quality seats and eventually settled for section 230. I swear to God I got section 335 like 5 times in a row. What a freakin joke. O well, at least I will have a straight on view of the boys.

the way ticketmaster sets up the pre-sale is complete dogshit. I was literally hitting refresh seconds before and actually got two seats for general admission to pop up. but after getting them, i went back in to see if i could get more tickets and the best that comes up is section 333, 40, 94, or 303. basically, what ticketmaster is doing is selling all the shit tickets (less the very few general admission that they let go this morning). i guarantee more GA will be available tomorrow morning when the open up to the public, and they'll also release the Lodge seats next to the stage. but in my opinion that's the sections that should be availabe RIGHT NOW to FANCLUB! it's unbelievable that if you went to stubhub people had GA tickets posted days ago for $200-$500. dogshit. fanclub members should get the first dibs on these seats. MMJ needs to setup a ticket program like the one Pearl Jam has in place where they get the best fucking seats in the house, then we don't need to worry about sucking ticketmasters teet and settling for the sections the furthest away from the stage. I appreciate the pre-sale, don't get me wrong, but when left up to the hands of tickemaster & luck we pull up sections in the 300's and paying scalpers $300 for a good seat, which is complete dogshit. Good luck to all tomorrow. and here is a link to what the floor will look like with the GA floors taking up sections 1-4. http://media.ticketmaster.com/en-us/tmimages/venue/maps/ny5/19713s.gif

This is from MSG's website FAQs:

South Seating
The South Press Box is generally reserved for working media during sporting events. For concerts, however, we have the opportunity to sell this seat location. The South Press Box is located between the 300 and 400 Level seating areas in the Arena.  The South Press Box consists of one row of folding chairs that is set up in this location. If your ticket is marked Section South,the folding chairs will be set up behind the last row between Sections 307-312. Please proceed to the Gate marked on your ticket and an usher will direct you to your seats.

If this is where the Promenade Box Seats are, that sucks!!

That does suck. The long name kind of tricks you into thinking you got something special. No worries, there should be plenty of tickets available tomorrow.

Press for sporting events is totally different than press for concerts. Im not ripping the seats or having a laugh at the guys expense, but it sounds like he thought the seats were somewhere close to the floor/stage. I thought the same thing.

Yeah, I don't think I'd be happy with these seats so I'll probably try for better ones tomorrow and sell these if I can.

Its on the floor and a friend just told me they put risers on the floor to help see above the people in front of you. You're lucky to get floor seats on the pre-sale, most everyone was pulling up 300's (or the mysterious "Promenade Box North").

Well .....Since you opened the door .....

What is the difference between Paris Hilton's vagina and a limousine?
Not everyone has been in a limousine.

What is the difference between Paris Hilton's vagina and a washing machine?
The washing machine doesn't want you to call it the next day after you dump a load in it.

What is the difference between Paris Hilton's vagina and a dead skunk on a hot Texas highway?
If you absolutely had to ... You could eat the skunk.

The Bot Stops Here
Thursday, Jun 26, 2008 11:01AM

A U.S. District Court judge in Los Angeles has awarded Ticketmaster more than $18 million in its case against RMG Technologies after finding that RMG aided scalpers in obtaining tickets through the TM site at speeds and volumes far beyond human capacity.
Judge Audrey Collins ruled in a default judgment that RMG created, trafficked in and facilitated the use of automated bot programs that were able to circumvent the technological copy protection systems of Ticketmaster.com, and issued a permanent injunction against RMG June 19th.
"This is a big win for fans of live entertainment as well as for Ticketmaster," TM general counsel Edward Weiss said in a statement. "Consumers understand that there often simply are not enough tickets to meet demand, but RMG's technology was used by some to unfairly cut to the front of the line. Ticketmaster will continue to fight for an equitable ticket distribution process."
TM filed suit against RMG last year claiming brokers were "bombarding Ticketmaster's Web site with millions of automated ticket requests that can constitute up to 80 percent of all ticket requests made," denying "the public access to tens of thousands of tickets so that RMG's customers can purchase and resell those tickets to the same public at inflated prices."
The proof seemed to be in the pudding when tickets for one of 2007's hottest shows - Hannah Montana - sold out everywhere within minutes, showing up soon after on the secondary market. Collins issued a preliminary injunction against RMG last fall.
TM's award of $18.2 million, plus attorneys fees and costs, stems from profits RMG wrongfully earned through infringement of Ticketmaster's copyrights, inducement to breach contract and intentional interference with contractual relations, Collins wrote in the judgment.

Although I like the precedent this sets to discourage things like this from happening, I'm not a fan of the big payday for Ticketmaster. Its win/win for them; they sold tickets at speeds "beyond human capacity", then they get $18 M because the buyers acted illegally.
