But hey at least i got tickets i guess.... :roll:

you want tickets, join the warehouse or get used to it and stop bitching. that's just how it is, how it's always been, and how it always will be.

yes, because warehouse consistently hooks people up with great seats and never fucks people over.

It doesnt if you're a first year member. Im sure this being my first year is the only reason why I got 3 nights at red rocks (and 3rd row tickets for the second night)


My guess is you should not renew your account sometime, give a new email adress and see what happens.

i scored front row tickets at my first show and forgot to renew :lol:
so i never bothered again because i know i got real lucky. it's much easier to get warehouse tix and trade via boards etc and move on up in the seats then get ticketbastardized.

ive always been really impressed with ticketing @ the ware house

i got 12th and 19th row and at gorge and front row of vip at the island getaway plus some ga.

i know there is some luck involved but.........im thankful to them for those shows.
and the warehouse volume cds are very good.

You got lucky. That's all. My first Wh tickets were Nosebleeds @ Allstate Arena. Dave was the size of a postage stamp from my perspective. WH has NEVER given me good seats. The only time I've ever gotten great seats is through their charity auctions...and those go for big $$$.

so what does ticketmaster have to do with this?? DMB tickets have been difficult to get since 1999. Nothing new.

ticketmaster sucks ass. i'm still completely baffled as to how no one at the company can come up with a plan to be able to gracefully handle ticket sales for big name, popular acts. it's like they have one shitty old PC in the basement somewhere trying to serve everything.

as far as WH tickets go, the only time your seniority matters if if they do the selection that way. most of the time they don't with this latest winter tour as an example. i've yet to get truly great seats from the WH myself, but i've only been denied once so i'm not complaining.

i've always got tickets from warehouse, but never any REALLY GOOD seats, only decent seats. ive been a member for 4 years or so now, and i think i deserve a nice 3rd row action.

and ticketmaster sucks..i couldn't get tickets for msg 12/10 and i was at the website at exactly 9am..i was pissed.
