we can only dream

Bullshit. That's all I have to say. But after much cursing and about 10 min of being told that there were no tickets available, ticketmaster finally spread her dirty legs and gave it up. 4 tickets to Detroit F4 (center stage) row W. Did anyone get anything close to the stage or are they holding the best seats until Sat?

LeLoup · 07-12-2007, 10:25 AM

Yeah, I wasn't gonna chance it either. I'm curious to see what the best seats are that someone here gets...

peace

I got four, but I fucked up by having two Ticketmaster windows open and refreshing them both trying to find the best seats.

Had ORCHRC Row N seats 78-79 locked in to buy and was going through the confirmation, but stupidly refreshed my other TM window and it took over with the new tickets it found. Of course, I didn't realize it until I checked out and ended up with ORCHLT Row T seats 1-3 and ended up also getting ORCHRC Row FF seats 64-66 for some friends that might or might not go.

This is Atlanta BTW.

They must've hardly released any good seats for the ATL show.

I got right center orch seats, row 00 seats 60 and 62

I guess that's good, right now I'm too excited to care

i'm certainly not complaining.

but it can't hurt to be closer

Why the fuck are tickets so expensive for this tour? Hey, that's a good "ask a pumpkin" question. I saw $120+ tickets for Atlanta, and I just paid $73 each (after fees) for shitty seats. All I can say is they better fucking play some Gish for that price.

Where are your seats?

if there is a llama · 07-12-2007, 10:29 AM

I didn't think the ATL seats were good enough to buy now. I got Columbus instead

I'm waiting until the public on sale.

mpp · 07-12-2007, 10:30 AM

i can't believe i just paid $140 for 2 ticks to see the smashing pumpkins

that's by far the most i've ever paid

rsd · 07-12-2007, 10:31 AM

Was finally able to get 3 tickets to Monday's show in Boston.

Was hoping for 4 on Tuesday. Might try on Saturday. Was really hard to get anything more than 1 ticket for either night.

I actually never saw any of the $102 dollar tickets for sale for Atlanta and I started refreshing the page at 9:58AM until it came up.

In fact, the best single ticket I saw was for ORCHRC Row H and the best 2 together was for ORCHRC Row N. I have a feeling they held alot of the tickets for the general public.

HorseflyKing · 07-12-2007, 10:31 AM

Last row of main floor for Detroit.

Tried to get mezzanine or balcony, but no go.

sppunk · 07-12-2007, 10:31 AM

For Philly's Sunday show:

R/C Loge
Row DD
Seats 1-3

I wanted Loge to avoid jumping assholes, so I'm content. Are these good seats? Sound decent to me (never been to Tower before).

Effloresce · 07-12-2007, 10:32 AM

They blocked me at first for accessing the site too frequently, so I quickly opened another browser and logged in, and finally, success. Got mine. I'm on the floor!

Wow, those are the best I've heard out of ATL tickets.

DamingR · 07-12-2007, 10:32 AM

If you guys didn't buy 4 tickets, you can use your code again.

I just searched Detroit and pulled much better seats than some of you. Also pulled Atlanta and Columbus.

Anyway, you might want to try again for better seats. You can always sell your extras.

Ben Linus · 07-12-2007, 10:33 AM

2 Hours 30 till the SD pre-sale starts. I'm just waiting for this Pre-sale to suck ass.

Rider · 07-12-2007, 10:34 AM

It's going to be funny if these shows do not sell out and people with no pre-sale get awesome seats. Pre-sale with no details about what you are getting really sucks.

Anywhere in there is decent, it's a great venue. There is a seating chart on Ticketmaster but it will not let me link to it.

EllisAshbrook · 07-12-2007, 10:36 AM

I got 2 seats together, 3rd row mezzanine (balcony) for Boston' Monday show. Took me many attempts. Then i got 2 separate seats for Tuesday, one row R Orchestra, and 1 3rd row mezzanine.

I too felt like I was locked out for 10 minutes. I tried everything, any number of seats and price levels and nothing worked until 10:10. I consider myself pretty damn lucky, those are not bad seats! I'll be getting rid of the row R orchestra, and going to the mezzanine seats both nights. W00t!

And of course, I'll be trying for better seats on saturday.

gkersey · 07-12-2007, 10:36 AM

The thing I hate about the Fox ticketing in Atlanta is that they do not offer the best tickets first. They use a random ticketing system that will pick anything from row A to OO in the section.

That's the risk you take with a presale, unfortunately...

how much are they charing for ATL? Normal is 40+ fees which will probably be like 55 total

those aren't bad.... mine are f2, row u (2 rows closer, but off to the left... although my seats are biased towards the middle so i can't complain much)...

my question is if we buy 4 through the presale, doesn't that mean the 4 ticket limit applies to the public sale as well? ie. will ticketbastard pull my tix if i try to buy 4 more at the public on-sale?

peace

I was trying to get tickets for Tower Theater right at 10am sharp and there was nothing. This is complete garbage, either they didn't reserve enough presale tickets or something else is wrong. This is ridiculously dissapointing and iTunes is an utter joke.

Guess it's ticketmaster.com at 10am on Saturday with the rest of the masses.

Same thing happened to me.

I got in the first second possible, then clicked on "search for tickets", and it said something like "that is not available". Like it was an error message - it didn't even show me the captcha.

After that, the pre-sale code box disappeared and didn't show up until two or three minutes later

soma09 · 07-12-2007, 10:37 AM

i got 1 ticket for both boston nights. what a pain in the ass. i probably would have gotten better seats if i didn't go for 4 tickets initially. i'm gonna try again saturday and see if i get anything better.

Effloresce · 07-12-2007, 10:38 AM

It depends on the venue. The best ticket price for AJ Palumbo is $57 ($73 with tax and bullshit ticketmaster fees).
