I freaking hate ticketbastard. tix go on sale at 11. I'm online at 11:01 and get section 205 in the nosebleed. i tried to get $150 seats and they were sold out. at 11:01. BULLCRAP!

the stupidass map also shows a whole huge section of the arena in the 100 sections that arent for sale. they will open those seats up later. that crap pisses me off.

LMAO

Not to defend the bloodsuckers at ticketmaster, but your gripe isn't with them.

They sell what they're told to sell, when, and how, by the promoters.

Take it up with Live Nation.

Or call Wolfie directly. Ed has him scalping the best seats.

You should have kept trying. I was going for the $80 seats but changed my mind. Kept hitting "search again" and got some great seats after a few tries at about 11:10 in the 106 section.

It's actually .org

And full of scam artists.

If you like paying through the nose for counterfeit tickets, it's the place to go!

11:01?? WTF! You snooze you lose.

Next time turn the weather channel on for the exact correct time.

I got through in less than 30 seconds for MPLS, got row A right on the side of the stage [Ed's side]. Exactly what I wanted. Ticketmaster saved me $275 for not buying the 4 star and being on the floor, which I hate anyway. Sorry for rubbing it in, but I'm fucking happy! LOL

"Kept hitting "search again" and got some great seats after a few tries at about 11:10 in the 106 section."

Wellthats just bs. Not you. But ticketmaster. How in the hell do i get crappy seats at 11:01 and you get great seats at 11:10? I tried a few times. i tries the $80 seats first and got a crappy section (11:01). tried the $150 seats and they were unavailable (11:03), tried the $80 again and got even worse seats than the first time so i grabbed them (11:05).

i am so freaking steamed right now.

Congrats to you though. i'm genuinely happy for you.

Maybe because you were being specific with the price?? If you were willing to pay the top price, you should have went with "best available" each time. I'm sure people were searching again as you were and were giving up their first seats or for some reason they didn't finish in the 2 minutes or whatever they give you to accept. One time a friend and I were on the phone and tag teaming and lost our good seats because we took too long to make a decision.

Tough luck. Maybe you should keep trying to get better seats and sell the others. Those left over CITI bank premium seats will be available in a couple weeks. Look at the deadline and go online right after the sale is done. Nosebleeds should have been cheap. Sell them to some kids without a credit card.

you know-i have a feeling that once it is too late to cancel the hotel in kc they'll announce a show in dallas.

during the dlr/sh tour they werent coming to okc so i bought dallas tickets. the day i go to dallas they announce a second leg with a show in okc.

so i went to both.

That's the spirit. You saved money on this show, so go to the other one as well. You'll have a great time wherever you are. It's a Van Halen party, I say!

[chi-town324]

by bad LM it is dot org....you can find decent people, just have to weed through them..i have bought and sold a few items and havent had any problems...

[jgdrag]

Do not go best available. Best available is somebody else's opinion.

[VAiN]

I go through a broker.. sure you pay more but it's easy as hell...

I got in at 11 and got nice floor seats. Then I went right back in and got my buddy and his wife really good upper level seats, row 7, sec 223. Keep in mind, good seats will continue to pop up as orders get cancelled here and there for whatever reason.
Apparently, all but the back of the lower level are gone, but not enough for a second show I don't think.

Man, don't support those punks, just for convenience. I mean, you'll do what you want, of course, but I'm just sayin'...

DP, wouldn't let me delete.
