View Full Version : Dallas, TX - 11/3/2007
marisa 07-11-2007, 11:42 AM I plan on going to the Dallas show. I have the presale code but noticed it says "standing room only" but Nokia theater has seats and usually a pit by the stage. Does anyone know if the presale tickets are only for the pit or will the seats be sold as general admission and not assigned?

I'm going. The pre-sale applies to the entire venue, not just the pit area. And I'm guessing they have allotted only a certain amount of tickets/seats for the pre-sale. The pit is general admission "standing room only", the rest of the venue will be assigned seating. If you select "Best Available" it will not search for tickets in the pit area. You'll need to use the pull down menu to select the pit area if you want pit seats; does that makes sense?
skipgo 07-11-2007, 11:53 AM i'm going, but have no code :(
i hope there are still pit seats left on saturday!
Preston 07-11-2007, 11:53 AM so i take it would a good idea to go ahead and order your tickets now?
im going to try and make it..

Preston 07-11-2007, 11:57 AM huh? :rolleyes:
i was wondering if the show was going to sell out quick or would there be tickets still left a little bit closer to the show... :rolleyes:

i'm sure it will sell out within minutes
JHeibel 07-11-2007, 12:04 PM i'm sure it will sell out within minutes
I don't know about "minutes", but I bet it sells out well before November. I kinda hope it sells out quick with hopes of adding a 2nd show.
JHeibel 07-11-2007, 12:09 PM The show is now listed on the Nokia site. I wonder if this image was supplied by the band. The biggest drawback of this venue is the parking fee - $15!!

astrosfan719 07-11-2007, 12:12 PM Nokia is a fucking scam. Expensive as hell, let me tell ya.
I'm not going too fucking expensive.

I'm not going too fucking expensive.
At least tickets aren't $102 like in Atlanta! They better play Gish and SD for that price.

it's expensive, but the sound is usually good and there's not really a bad seat in the house.
skipgo 07-11-2007, 12:25 PM this will definitely be the most i've paid to see the pumpkins so far, but it's worth it. I don't know if I'd be able to afford $100 though, so i'm glad i'm not in atlanta.

when i saw them at reunion arena in 96, i had the nosebleed seats, it sucked so much. the band were like tiny ants on the stage. It's even worse to get seats like that after you've been in the front row for several shows. man i gotta get seats in the pit! .....

That makes sense! I will just try to get whatever I can!

I barely even remember it, which is weird because i remember all the other sp shows i've seen. I think i remember billy playing a tease of a pantera song, and making fun of bush. I also think i remember a good version of siva being played. I wish i had a boot of that show!

Yeah, I had terrible seats for the Reunion Arena show too. Not nosebleed, but way in the back. To this day, one of my least favorite Pumpkins shows.
Even without the pre-sale code, you shouldn't have a problem getting pit seats. If you get on Ticketmaster right when tickets go on-sale, and manually select PIT, I can't imagine it being a problem. Then again, what do I know. The pre-sale might be a good judge as to how this show will sell. If I somehow can't get pit seats during the pre-sale, that will probably be a sign that the show is going to sell really well. But, who knows...

i hope you're right, i'm keeping my fingers crossed. I signed up to get the text message sent to me before they go on sale so i can be ready... i also have to buy tickets for two friends who are making the drive with me, so i have to get three pit tickets!
skipgo 07-11-2007, 12:41 PM http://www.archive.org/details/tsp1996-12-01.flac16

Did you sign up for the Nokia AllAccess Newsletter. Sometimes they'll send out a separate password for pre-sales. Not sure if that will be the case this time around, especially since iTunes seems to be handling all the pre-sale stuff.

skipgo 07-11-2007, 12:47 PM thanks again! I just signed up, hopefully that will help out! I'll have to find you and thank you in person at the show :)

I only remember bits and pieces too. I remember the Deep Ellum banter before Muzzle...and the 1979 dance-a-thon....and a few other tidbits.

TuralyonW3 07-12-2007, 10:12 AM Finally got my 3 tickets after ticketmaster saying there were no tickets that matched mr request for about 5 minutes. I was about to cry.
Secion 203 Row CC. pretty awesome seats!! Right behind the pit!!
TuralyonW3 07-12-2007, 10:13 AM holy fuck, the band I've been wanting to see live for litereally 12 years, finally.
JHeibel 07-12-2007, 10:13 AM Did anybody get Dallas tickets? I couldn't pull up anything and I was on the second tickets went on sale. There's no way they sold out this fast. At one point ticketmaster said my password was not in the system. What a scam!

Brute Squad 07-12-2007, 10:27 AM Finally got my 3 tickets after ticketmaster saying there were no tickets that matched mr request for about 5 minutes. I was about to cry.
Secion 203 Row CC. pretty awesome seats!! Right behind the pit!!
Same here. Section 203, Row CC.
I kept trying to pull pit tickets and never got 'em. After several more attempts for lower level, I ended up with something I was satisfied with.
DarthRok 07-12-2007, 10:31 AM Finally got two for Dallas after trying and trying. I'm on the SW Deck row 1.

aldango 07-12-2007, 10:32 AM Two in section 105 (separated) and one in 203. Not bad. Tooooo expensive. If my girlfriend doesn't want to come, I'll sell one of mine for face.

Wisconsin 07-12-2007, 10:36 AM Finnally 2 in Section 206 Row DD
skipgo 07-12-2007, 10:39 AM holy crap, if you guys are having trouble with the presale, there's no way i'm going to get a ticket on saturday. (much less three, which is what i need). This is bumming me out for real.
JHeibel 07-12-2007, 10:41 AM I still can't get 4 together.
marisa 07-12-2007, 10:49 AM Now there are seats coming up in the 300 section.
aldango 07-12-2007, 10:50 AM what row is your section 203 ticket?
Sorry, it's 204, row JJ. I wasn't paying attention (that ticket's not for me anyway).
You taping, Andrew? Or enjoying the show ;)
skipgo 07-12-2007, 10:51 AM i love how itunes and ticketmaster make promises they don't keep. stupid fuckers. I'm really pretty upset about this shit; at this point I don't care about pit seats, I just want to SEE THE SHOW without paying a scalper. I can't afford scalped tickets anyway. This sucks.
You know, when I did the two layouts for billy's myspace page (i did the one he had before the current one as well), I was promised I'd be compensated with some free pumpkins stuff, which I never was. Maybe it's time to cash in that favor, eh? Time to get in touch with The good old pumpkin queen.... cross your fingers for me, netphorians! Maybe they have some extras, I don't mind paying, I just want in!!!

yobecaps 07-12-2007, 10:52 AM I still can't get 4 together.

JHeibel 07-12-2007, 10:53 AM Now there are seats coming up in the 300 section.
I'll take my chances Saturday. I'm hoping for something at least in the 200 sections, not too far up.
murgle 07-12-2007, 10:53 AM Two in section 105 (separated) and one in 203. Not bad. Tooooo expensive. If my girlfriend doesn't want to come, I'll sell one of mine for face.
hey man, keep me in mind. i got 2 tickets (seperated) and one of mine is in 105. If I can't score a pit, I'd love a spare 105 ticket

M, I believe.
murgle 07-12-2007, 10:55 AM <font color="dab9ea">You got really good tickets. We're section 204 row JJ. </font>
yeah, ticketmaster kept trying to offer me tickets in the same row as you, but I held out for a better seat. I wound up getting ONE better seat. Heh. I'm in 203, along with Turalyon. We should all meet up before.
aldango 07-12-2007, 10:56 AM hey man, keep me in mind. i got 2 tickets (seperated) and one of mine is in 105. If I can't score a pit, I'd love a spare 105 ticket
If I sell any, I'll sell my 204 :(
However, if your 105 is near my bad 105 (row P, seat 14, where my girlfriend is), I'd love to trade you in exchange for my good 105 (which is row N seat 3) so we can be closer together.

I wish they would just come out and say how many seats are going to be available for the pre-sale. I guess if they did that, then no one would buy the pre-sale album. Live and learn... I'll probably never do a pre-sale purchase again.
aldango 07-12-2007, 10:57 AM M, I believe.
Oh, never mind then :) Good luck in your quest!!

I will continue doing presales. The odds of us getting tickets in 204/205 three rows back during the general sale are pretty much nil.
murgle 07-12-2007, 10:58 AM Thanks. I'll try again the day of the regular sale and try to get another 105 or a Pit and then sell my 203
skipgo 07-12-2007, 10:58 AM What promise didn't they keep?
weren't people supposed to be able to get four tickets? Oh wait, well maybe it's just that people can't get them all in the same spot. Don't mind me, I'm just upset that I wasn't able to get the itunes presale (it's a long story as to why i couldn't....)
murgle 07-12-2007, 10:58 AM haha. I'm such a loser. I selected Will call because I want a real ticket stub and not a print-off from my computer.
obscured01 07-12-2007, 11:01 AM yeah, ticketmaster kept trying to offer me tickets in the same row as you, but I held out for a better seat. I wound up getting ONE better seat. Heh. I'm in 203, along with Turalyon. We should all meet up before.
<font color="dab9ea">At first we got section 203 rows NN, and that's all was coming up, we kept trying though, and got these and thought we'd better go with them (didn't want separated tickets).
We totally should all meet up. I don't think Turalyon likes me much tho. :/</font>
skipgo 07-12-2007, 11:01 AM why is it I've been able to get front row for almost every sp show I've been to, without presales, and yet for this one it's going to be impossible to get up front without the presale? Is this a small venue? (i've never been there, so i don't know)...

haha. Ticketmaster is STILL offering 204JJ ticket to me. Stupid ticketmaster. I just want ONE more 105.
But yeah, let's totally meet up. I've never been to the Nokia theatre before, but I know that there's not much directly around it... unless you wanna meet up in Arlington or somewhere else in GP

Yeah, you can buy up to four tickets. There's no guarantee they will be next to each other, though.
I have one more single available, if you're interested in using my code.

It's smaller than an arena, but it's quite big. Bigger than your average theater type venue. If they sell tickets in the upper balcony, it'll hold over 6,000.

it's relatively small. It's not like a club, obviously, but it sure as hell ain't the American Airlines center, or hell, even Reunion Arena.
murgle 07-12-2007, 11:09 AM I GOT ANOTHER 105 SECTION SEAT!!! woO! aldango, I got a section 105 P. If you wanna trade my P for your N, I'd be cool with that.
marisa 07-12-2007, 11:12 AM I was just able to get 2 more for a couple of friends. Sec 203 Row LL
Keep trying! They keep coming up!
What the hell? It took me forever to find any tickets, and I was lucky enough to find alright ones (row CC, center) and then I opened another window and loaded up another to see if I could get closer and it was row CC, left... So I went to the old window, bought those and upon confirmation it says "yay, you bought the tickets from the other window, enjoy your LEFT view kbai."
So I called and the best they can do is exchange them for me if I can find better ones. At least they're willing to work with me but I didn't buy those damn shitty tickets, I bought the center ones and it gave em the crappy ones.
At least I got tickets but god damn.
Anyway, is it ACTUALLY general admission + pit or not? Do you have to sit in the seat you wound up with?
murgle 07-12-2007, 11:15 AM Yes, you do have to sit in the seat you wound up with.
skipgo 07-12-2007, 11:16 AM Yeah, you can buy up to four tickets. There's no guarantee they will be next to each other, though.

really? that would be so awesome of you! Of course I'll still have to cross my fingers about getting tickets for my friends (i don't want to make the drive to dallas alone!), but at least I'd know I was going. Thanks!
murgle 07-12-2007, 11:19 AM hey Skipgo, I've got one left on my presale code, too. That way you and at least one of your friends can go

Fantastic. I'd love to trade, hopefully the 4 people on row P in between will scoot over one so that my girlfriend and I can stand next to each other - I have section 105 row N seat 3.

Sounds good. The only snag is... I'm paranoid and only opt for Will Call tickets (I want a real ticket stub, not a piece of computer paper w/the ticket printed on it). So we'll have to meet up on the day of the show (at the venue) and just swap. my e-mail is hapykhiken@plaidpajamas.com if you wanna hang on to that, so we can chat when the show is closer than 3.5 months away :)

Oh yes, I read that. That sounds LOVELY.

Sounds good. I'm so suspicious of "Standard Mail" and there was no way I was paying an extra $20 for the damn UPS or whatever. hah. I'm paranoid.

Yeah, understandably! Luckily they have a thing that's like "if they haven't showed up within 2 weeks of the show give us a ring" and if you have your receipt it's no big deal.
Thanks!! Girlfriend will be happy. And hopefully so will you.

Still can't access Ticketmaster.com. weird.
DarthRok 07-12-2007, 01:01 PM So were any PIT tickets sold as part of the pre-sale? or do those all go on sale Saturday?
JHeibel 07-12-2007, 01:02 PM There's a pair of pit tickets on ebay.
Brute Squad 07-12-2007, 02:35 PM I tried for pit tickets for the first 10 minutes, gave up and looked for lower level tickets, bought one in sec203 rowCC. I've been trying every 15 minutes for pit tickets, but still get nothing. Did anyone score pit tickets during the pre-sale? This is ridiculous.
JHeibel 07-12-2007, 02:39 PM I still can't access Ticketmaster.com. I think my IP was blocked due to trying too many times or some shit.
Brute Squad 07-12-2007, 03:09 PM If anyone's interested, I'm still able to pull a single ticket in section 105, row P. Just search for level 100. I tried pulling 2 or 3, but could only pull a single

But yeah, let's totally meet up. I've never been to the Nokia theatre before, but I know that there's not much directly around it... unless you wanna meet up in Arlington or somewhere else in GP
<font color="dab9ea">Zach said he wouldn't recommend going anywhere in gp... but that there's a lot of places near 360 that are good.
I don't know gp at all... all I know is central Arlington and west Ft. Worth. Maybe I will know the area better by then though, as I'll have lived there a few months then.</font>
What was crazy was at 10am there were no pit tickets...Im happy about my tickets just wanted pit damnit
Me either. Part of me thinks that they didn't put the pit in pre-sale. Did anyone get pit tickets? I didn't read the first two pages.
TuralyonW3 07-12-2007, 07:20 PM <font color="dab9ea">At first we got section 203 rows NN, and that's all was coming up, we kept trying though, and got these and thought we'd better go with them (didn't want separated tickets).

The way it looks I don't think anyone got pit...The whole I-tunes presale thing was a damn scam...The people who didnt order early will end up getting better tickets than us....what's the damn point?
davin 07-12-2007, 10:55 PM I couldn't at first but kept trying and got my 3 after about 5 minutes.
203 BB and 203 EE.
sure looks like 203 was a popular section for the pre-sale.

sigh...yea, thats what i was thinking....i bet if you try saturday thats when the bulk of the pit and orchestra seats will be sold (for this and other shows).
then again on the other hand, is it possible that we are underestimating the demand and there were plenty of pit tix sold......just really fast?
i mean London sold out in minutes. And so did Asheville and San Fran. I'm just saying...
RumoredToTheS&N 07-12-2007, 11:03 PM so....
anyone have a ticket or two left on their code?
:D
aldango 07-12-2007, 11:20 PM ]then again on the other hand, is it possible that we are underestimating the demand and there were plenty of pit tix sold......just really fast?
Bingo.
Even if they released 1/4th of the pit tickets, we (as a board) may have never landed them. There is a surprisingly large amount of Pumpkins diehards out there.
Also, even if they didn't put pit tickets in the presale - we never would have gotten them anyway. Well, maybe one of us. When I saw the Pumpkins in Houston in '00, it sold out in three minutes. I bet there are like 500 pit tickets, maximum. Put it in perspective, and pit is very unlikely.
I'm totally satisfied with my seats though. Pit kinda sucks anyways... all that standing up... it's for the young folk ;) *croak*

TuralyonW3 07-13-2007, 12:16 AM Since we all have reserved seats and time isn't an issue we should set a meetup point near the venue. We could also carpool from this point to save on parking (which is 15 bucks I think).

aldango and murgle hooked me up with their leftover codes (thanks again you guys!)
Maybe you can find another one floating around here before the day ends? Then again, maybe it's better to wait until morning to try for pit tickets? I'm still crossing my fingers that I can get one!

yea dude, its one nice thing about seats vs. GA.
though it didn't stop people from lining up early at paris...though maybe it was just to hear the soundcheck.
anyway, i would rather have seats than wait outside for 8 hours like at filmore.

No kidding. There's only been a few shows where I waited in line for hours and the only one worth it was Beck on the Midnite Vultures tour(got front row, center).
skipgo 07-13-2007, 04:20 PM could go both ways; i was front row center for lollapalooza 94... waited in line for 7 hours, then stood there at the front of the show being crushed for several hours during all the bands that played before sp ...but when billy played those first notes of soma, it was well worth the tiredness and bruises (i had one huge bruise across my stomach from the rail that I was smooshed against, God knows how many thousands of little generation x motherfuckers pushing against me...not to mention the doc marten i took to the face from some crowdsurfer).
I got a great spot for billy's solo show even though we were only waiting for about an hour (i was with friends who didn't give a shit about sp, so they weren't willing to wait all day with me, and i wasn't driving) but we got in early because we met billy before we got in line, and he put us on his guest list, so some guy came out and got us before they started letting people in.
Then I waited all day in Pensecola and ended up with shitty seats.
So, ya never know.
If i was hanging out with a bunch of netphoria people, nerding out over sp, i wouldn't mind standing in line :)

right on man, you simulatenously triggered 3 memories...
1. i loved Soma as an opener. especialy during lolla...the crowd was going so nuts you couldn't even hear the low part until billy finally started singing up a little.
2. rock invasion show in 93 (from vieuphoria) the today performance with the ghostbuster shirt....well i got a similar bruise on my back from this little railed-off aisle they have for bouncers to pull out crowd surfers because i was crushed up against it during cherub rock. sound slike yours was more painful though, thanks to a gradual crushing...mine was one hard slam and thats it.
3. Tool Undertow tour 1994 -- worst hit from a shoe -- one of those outdoorsman type rugged shoes right in the face. the tread scraped up my skin and gave me a bruise that looked like a black eye.

gossamer1234 07-13-2007, 08:51 PM before the sales to the general public?
i didn't buy my album from itunes, so i'm having to wait for the general ticket sale.
i went ahead and looked at ebay to see what they were selling for (Original price is $53) and people are paying double to triple face value. but those are decent seats.
i went over to the ticket scalper website ticketliquidator.com and saw tickets for sale at triple face value over there, and they were the worst seats in the house.
if bad seats are being sold by scalpers, does this mean that it could sell out BEFORE it's on sale to the general public? if so, :cry:
Brute Squad 07-14-2007, 01:20 AM don't fucking worry. it's become obvious that the presale was a farce. No one, and I mean, NO ONE, even pulled Pit tickets from the pre-sale. They've been saving a lot for the general onsale.

JokeyLoki 07-14-2007, 09:16 AM You know what pisses me off?
Yesterday, I tried all day to win tickets on 102.1....
That retard DJ Jesse gave tickets 1) to a guy who didn't know what Zeitgiest meant (That was the question you had to answer to get the tickets, she just gave them to him anyway, while I'm sitting on the line yelling at the radio) and 2) to a chick who said she knew all the words to "The World is a Vampire". When asked to sing that particular song, BITCH DIDN'T EVEN KNOW THE WORDS.
I had to shut the radio off.
Ok, enough ranting. Here's to hoping Ticketmaster doesn't shit itself in about 45 minutes.

gossamer1234 07-14-2007, 10:33 AM I'm trying to think positively and tell myself that had I gotten into the pit, some freak accident would've occurred and I would've wound up severely injured. This was an act of God, me getting sucky seats.
Or at least I can tell myself that.
friend of mine in college went to a bad religion show with me. we had pit tix. some little girl fell on his leg wrong and he had to get surgery on his knee. that. sucked.
RumoredToTheS&N 07-14-2007, 10:34 AM Fuck You I-Tunes in your stupid Ass!!!!
exactly.
i feel vindicated that i didn't buy the itunes thing.
you can bet i'll never buy it in the future.
Fuck You I-Tunes in your stupid Ass!!!!
Ditto. I hate iTunes and Ticketmaster now. Ticketmaster for giving me tickets I didn't choose to buy.
... and of course we all know why we all hate iTunes. Scumbags.
spidersoma 07-14-2007, 10:34 AM i trust i'll see you in line bright and early then? :)
why bright and early?
depends on who i bring with me, i suppose. hopefully it will be this girl i'm dating ... otherwise i have three friends who are almost as diehard of fans as me and i'll have to choose between the three of 'em.
JokeyLoki 07-14-2007, 10:35 AM jokeyloki, grab that front row one and sell the one you got homey
I'd love to, but I can't afford another pair of tickets right now.... I just had to replace the engine in my car (it flooded during all that damn rain we had for the last 3 weeks)
I really couldn't afford what I got, but we're going to eat ramen for a while...
If they're still available in 3 weeks (when I get paid again), I'll get with ya, Rumored :D
skipgo 07-14-2007, 10:35 AM Fuck You I-Tunes in your stupid Ass!!!!
no kidding, now the friends i'm going with won't be up front with me. I was really looking forward to finally seeing SP with people who were fucking lunatics over this band like myself. Shit, I have no room to complain though. I just wish everyone who actually gave a shit could've gotten up front. There should be some kind of test you have to pass to score pit tickets. tr00 fans only.
かG︺Ё护 07-14-2007, 10:36 AM The shit erks me to no end...Ill never be fooled again thats for sure....Presale my ass...
spidersoma 07-14-2007, 10:36 AM ps: i'm from austin but i live in dallas now so i don't have a long drive ahead of me.
been a fan since 1993, never seen them live before.
color me stoked.
RumoredToTheS&N 07-14-2007, 10:37 AM i'm hoping fogelsong or one of the other tapers will get the front row seat so we can get a nice recording of the show. you are still taping, aren't you, andrew?

if you have pit tickets you still have to get there early to get upfront, right? Nothing beats being in the front row for SP. better than sex. Well, equal to. :)
JHeibel 07-14-2007, 10:40 AM i'm not sure about cameras, i know the band is cool with it, i don't know about the venue. I can't take mine anyway since it's an slr and they won't let you use "professional" cameras. Which sucks, I could get some awesome photos with it.
I'm bummed that you guys didn't get pit tickets. Fucking scalpers probably took half of them.
Yeah, this venue is usually pretty strict about cameras. I don't think I've ever been able to bring one in.
I got 4 pit tickets! woohoo!
skipgo 07-14-2007, 10:40 AM been a fan since 1993, never seen them live before.
you're in for some fun then. This will be my 7th time. sine.

so even though pit tickets have a row and seat number, it will be GA anyway?
spidersoma 07-14-2007, 10:42 AM what if i get front row AND sex that night? Then it's the best day of my life, right?
gossamer1234 07-14-2007, 10:43 AM so even though pit tickets have a row and seat number, it will be GA anyway?
there shouldn't be a row and seat number...pit is GA. i never been to that venue (it's new and i now live in tulsa) but i'd imagine in a PIT, it'd say PIT GA or something like that. maybe at that venue they have seats there from some shows, and for this show they take them out, but it should still say GA.
my receipt i got in my email says this:
Smashing Pumpkins
Nokia Theatre At Grand Prairie, Grand Prairie, TX

JHeibel 07-14-2007, 10:44 AM so even though pit tickets have a row and seat number, it will be GA anyway?
what does it say for row and seat number?
skipgo 07-14-2007, 10:44 AM I got 4 pit tickets! woohoo!
I'm so glad some of us will be in the pit!!! I'm even looking forward to the whole standing in line and nerding out with other fans over SP ... I've never gotten to do that before, most of my friends don't dig the pumpkins (damn indie rock kids!)
skipgo 07-14-2007, 10:44 AM what if i get front row AND sex that night? Then it's the best day of my life, right?
pretty much.
bgraves001 07-14-2007, 10:46 AM what does it say for row and seat number?
sect 103 row O and sect 102 row R. those are pit tickets right?
Brute Squad 07-14-2007, 10:46 AM i'm hoping fogelsong or one of the other tapers will get the front row seat so we can get a nice recording of the show. you are still taping, aren't you, andrew?
Front row would not be idle for taping. anywhere in front of or near the soundboard is best. I'm pretty happy for my sec 203, row CC ticket - 3rd row looking over the pit.
And speaking of which, I scored two pit tickets as well! Got 'em for some friends of mine in Tulsa that are die-hard pumpkins fans from back in day...

JHeibel 07-14-2007, 10:48 AM sect 103 row O and sect 102 row R. those are pit tickets right?
No, I think those are the rows directly behind the pit. They're still really good seats though. I'll have to double check the seating chart, though.
JokeyLoki 07-14-2007, 10:48 AM Oh hell, how the hell did I break the thread with a img tag....
RumoredToTheS&N 07-14-2007, 10:50 AM yeah, a buddy of mine pulled up sect 104 row O seat on my search, too.
that's supposed to be the pit....
*edit - ah so. i see the little yellow stripe now.
never mind.
bgraves001 07-14-2007, 10:50 AM oh ok, i didn't see the small stripe of yellow there. im still happy with 103 though!

Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's that yellow strip above the GA pit area. You'll be able to look directly down into the pit. They're still amazing seats. You won't have a bunch of heads blocking your view.

well if my bro can't go, sure i'd sell. probably for face value.
if my gf can't go, i's sell. probably for face value +$1

yep! hopefully there are no heads near me!
davin 07-14-2007, 10:56 AM and I was at the mercy of the venue I was working :)
which you were actually at earlier in the day if I remember correctly
we emailed between sidekick/blackberry
thought that was you....well hopefully we'll get to meet this time...
davin 07-14-2007, 10:57 AM keep trying, i want all of fucking netphoria up front.
holy fucking shit!!!! i just got a call from my buddy in texas that he scored pit tickets too!!!!!!! :bananamac
guess the itunes shit was a sham afterall.
JokiLoki or anyone who needs tickets to Dallas. PM me, we have some section 203 EE and BB tickets to sell. my friend has stars in his eyes and wants to make a fortune on ebay...but i may be able to convince him to let them go to other tr00 fans.
RumoredToTheS&N 07-14-2007, 11:00 AM so, just how early are all of you other pit people going to get there?
davin 07-14-2007, 11:01 AM yea, there goes the luxury of showing up late....not sure yet. i won't have my flight info and all that shit until early september.

savestheday 07-14-2007, 11:10 AM Well after the itunes debacle of my presale code never showing up and then getting a presale code and finding out that the pit tickets were already sold out, I managed to get my pit tickets today at 10:01am and I couldn't be happier. I almost caved and bought tix through the presale but decided against that and hoped the ghost of D'arcy would smile upon me and grant me my wish. Alas she did. This will be my 11th time seeing the Pumpkins and I didn't want to start sitting in seats at this stage. I'll see you all in the pit with my purple Starla shirt on! Oh.... FUCK iTunes!!!
gossamer1234 07-14-2007, 11:12 AM so, just how early are all of you other pit people going to get there?
probably just show up maybe 30 minutes before :) i got a long drive, and i gotta stop and pick up my bro along the way. i won't be able to be in the first 2 or 3 people deep, but i'll be able to get decently close
skipgo 07-14-2007, 11:12 AM this pit person will be getting there as early as possible. I'm about a three hour drive away; luckily my friends going with me are also tr00 fans :) so they'll be willing to stand in a line all day long. I don't know what the best time is, but I'm willing to get up and start driving at 4am if that shit is necessary, lol!
skipgo 07-14-2007, 11:15 AM i'm too short to settle for being three or four rows back. I don't want to stare at heads and backs through this whole thing. I have to be prepared and get there early. Looks like I'll get to meet a lot of people I've corresponded with (including the famous DAVIN! :), he who made me realize i must give death from above a chance!), so it's going to be fun on so many levels... now if only we didn't have to wait until november!
skipgo 07-14-2007, 11:31 AM hey guys, i'm trying to help a friend of mine who overslept and couldn't get good seats. If anyone here got pit this morning and wants to sell their presale seats at face value, would you let me know? Davin, i sent you a PM about this :)

DarthRok 07-14-2007, 11:56 AM Sweet, I just booked my hotel for the show. If any of you are looking for a hotel to stay at, I highly recommend the La Quinta Inn Dallas Grand Prairie
1410 NW 19 ST Grand Prairie, TX 75050
It is like 5 minutes away from the venue w/ any major traffic bullshit. I've stayed there a few times when I've gone to see shows and it is very convenient. I booked my room for $39 + tax. And they have high speed internet, which is nice.

thanks, i was just about to ask if anyone knew about a hotel near the venue.
DarthRok 07-14-2007, 12:07 PM Also, Grand Prairie is in a dry county, so bring your own beer if you want to party at the hotel. When I went to see the Pixies there, wy wife and I drove around for an hour looking for a liquor store thinking it would be easy. The county lines are all weird which made it hard to find one. Plus the people we asked for help sucked at giving directions.
aveuhrey 07-14-2007, 12:25 PM Well, pre-sale screwed me. I ended up only being able to get 3 tix not seated together, during the pre-sale..then today I got two tix together (although best was in section 301) during the regular sale. So now I am stuck with the 3 single tix which I am sure I will end up eating. This sucks!! If anyone wants some pretty decent single tix, let me know, I have:
sect 203 row KK seat 22
sect 204 row GG seat 18
sect 205 row NN seat 19
I am only trying to sell for face value of what I paid, which was like $73 each (for all fees *******d). Please pmsg me if you are interested in any of these tix or email me at aveuhrey@gmail.com
Thanks!

misogi 07-14-2007, 02:35 PM I've lurked here a lot, but I finally decided to post. I already got tickets for the presale, but they aren't that great. I tried this morning just to see if I could get pit, and I did! After buying the pit tickets, I realized the ticket limit is for both presale and regular sale. Do you think it is likely my tickets will be cancelled for exceeding the limit?

I've always found it odd that people wear shirts to concerts of bands that aren't the band they're going to see too... I mean, why wear a band shirt at all? It just seems kinda :erm:
I'm sure I'll see at least one person wearing a Nirvana shirt...
