Hey Darren, never got an email either.

Found the password for my show though on a local site. Where will the links be to buy tickets tomorrow?

[Lindich88]

Any idea on prices?

[dervish]

Some of us have the alarm set for six am in order to have coffee enough to pass a bot test at 7:00. Being in CA and wanting east coast tickets. I hope that email gets here by dawn. Zzzzzzzz.....

[Ragnaar]

I kind of wish this was going to be at the House of blues though. I mean the Wilbur is cool and all, but I kind of dig the HOB

[dervish]

Got it, thanks <3

[Ragnaar]

Woohoo, Boston tickets acquired. awkward doubles at a table, but whatever

[Ragnaar]

Seattle is a whole bunch of Bullsh*t. Apparently, you have to have a billing address in Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Alaska and British Columbia in order to purchase tickets for the event. You can almost purchase them, but then they tell you your order will be cancelled if you're not in that area.

And the number they give you to call is a robocall number leading you to sales pitches, and I'm assuming my number is now going to get flooded with calls.

wow - cant say Ive seen such a restriction on concert tickets before. I myself would never get behind such a practice, though I do wish more would do ticketless entry like some shows Ive gone to have done in the past - eliminating most resale.

The ticketmaster presale for the Los Angeles show was also different than I have ever seen, where they give you a list of seats to choose from, sort of just mixed up. Sort of how Stubhub does it, but that list would constantly update and change. Sort of random feeling as to what it gave you access to.
Not a good system in my opinion, it wouldnt even tell you the actual seat numbers until you went further into the purchase process.

[Seq225]

also saw this - never seen this in a PRESALE:

"Platinum Tickets" - with ever revolving prices. There is currently a pair in row B on the floor - they are $324 dollars each. Not resale, not VIP.

"Platinum Tickets are tickets that are dynamically priced up and down based on demand. Platinum Tickets are not part of VIP packages

So basically - "oh people want these seats pretty bad, quick! charge more money!"

[Ragnaar]

They've been doing the platinum for a while, I can't remember if they are seats controlled by the bands, or if Ticketmaster treats them like a stubhub kind of thing. But yeah, kind of sucks for those hounds clicking refresh.

I did like the queue thing though, where it automatically placed you in a queue and you went for it when it was your turn. I'm assuming that's so the usual Ticketmaster crash doesn't happen on larger shows.
