ticket advice

Unread post by guitardmb » Tue Mar 15, 2005 4:52 pm

So last year the damn scalpers beat me to buying dave tickets. I refuse to buy lawn seats cause i would much rather not get there 7 hours early and run for my seat, plus i came to watch dave play live not watch a huge tv screen of him 200 yards in front of me.

So any tips on buying from ticket master and actually getting reserved seats?

If you get online with TM at 10am when they go on sale and choose just 2 seats...you will most likely get seats...they may be closer to the back by the lawn but at lease they are seats like you want. Thats been my experience

if you can, put two computers in the same room, invite a friend over for the 10am sale and both get tickets as soon as its allowed...and purchase whichever pair is best

Going to a ticket master sucks. I tried that once, there were probably 200 people waiting and they randomly drew numbers to reorganize the line so campers wouldn't not get the best seats. How does warehouse seating work, they go on sale earlier, right? Is it worth the 40 dollars to possible get close seats?

Nobody's part of the warehouse? Those are the best seats

Were the best seats. After the WH's reorganization, you've got just about as good a chance with TM, and you don't have to pay $30 to do it.

No shit! For years I have been getting AWESOME seats through the warehouse! It seems I should pay attention to the boards more often. Dammit. Well I guess I will see this year. I have been a member there since 2/2000

Proper recon is essential.

Identify all TM locations within your 100 miles of your area (seriously), identify the demographic of said areas, the size of each said areas, and then identify which of the TM locales will have the fewest customers and hit that one and be first. Of course, you must take into account that many TM locations do a lottery, meaning you could be first in line and then they make everyone draw a ticket and then they re-organize the line according to drawn ticket numbers.

Do your research and hit it holmes, as long as the line isn't over a 100 people you'll get your seats.

Peace,

C

So...on the TM site, ticketmaster says that tickets go on sell at 10am, what time zone is it referring to? Eastern?

Obtain ski mask. Put finger in pocket of coat or sweatshirt. Use finger as a "gun", demand good tickets from Ticketbastard agent.

Then run out and say "Peace bitches".

Steal Bubblicious from counter.
