HOW DO I GET TICKETS IN THE PRESALE?

[Gossamer]

I need to buy these.

[xyumachine]

On ticketmaster.com, it's stated that the pre-sales are for American Express card members. So I think that's the only way, at the moment.

[Rider]

It would be nice if Billy would make an actual fan club.

[Gossamer]

ah that's lame.

i'll have to steal my dads american express then.

[Gossamer]

btw 60 bucks for a 2 night show is fucking awesome.

i have never been this excited for a show.

[Moose]

[gpub]

yeah, where do you see that?

[Floppy Nono]

one show for nyc is 89 but both shows are 93

that is so fucking sweet!


i'm freaking out about this american express thing though, what a bummer!

[gpub]

How do you see the "both shows" price... thanks

there's a 3rd option for nyc.


for one night: US $49.00 - US $89.00
for both nights: US $53.00 - US $93.00

[Floppy Nono]

i have no idea what the 60 dollar show he's talking about is though, i don't see that anywhere.

[gpub]

See that, but how do you get pricing for both nights?

[gpub]

yeah, that sounds like a pretty good deal.

i don't quite understand what you mean, there is a link to the pricing for both nights. it's like, an entirely separate sale from the other two nights.

[Floppy Nono]

ok perhaps some big news here!

according to ticketmaster, the pre-sale password is the customer service number on the back of a american express gold card

[Moose]

yep!

[Floppy Nono]

yep? are you a card holder? if so, is this how it goes?

[palescales]

[palescales]

I guess I'll have to sign up for a card today....

[dudehitscar]

I think it's pretty lame that American Express holders get first dibs on tickets. What the hell is that about? These aren't just any normal shows. They should find a way to get the first dibs to the real fans.

[Floppy Nono]

to be fair, they probably provided billy with a fair share of compensation for it which may have allowed the band to do it's two night discount shows. i mean, four bucks for an equally priced show is a big hit. gotta regroup the cash somewhere.

[PistolPete]

I think it's more of a Ticketmaster and AMEX partnership. They do this same presale for other concerts as well, not just these Pumpkins shows. I'm sure the band has nothing to do with it. Plus I think some venues only deal with Ticketmaster, the same goes for LiveNation. So in a roundabout way, they are forced into this presale.

[daevil1]

I also noticed that for the nyc shows the presale is only for individual night purchases and not for the 2 day pass.

[Pumpkins23836]

Everyone knew the password was the 1800 number, but you have to use an AMEX to pay for the tickets too.

[PistolPete]

What about through LiveNation? Has anyone figured this out?

[Chuck=Zero]

If you don't have an AMEX card, it's probably not worth the trouble to try to access t
