Let me begin, I scored a GA ticket for Hyde Park

GA for Hyde Park wooooo 

gazza, you'll you send my ticket by mail, or you hand me the day of the concert?

This probably a sham, but maybe it'll work.

NEW YORK, April 5, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- Fans looking to find Rolling Stones tickets will be ecstatic to discover that Ticketability.com is offering seats for The Rolling Stones tour more affordably when promotion code, STONES13, is used during the ticket-buying process. This band is legendary, and demand to experience a live show is always high for every concert it schedules. This band has been performing live for 50 years. The group first went on tour in Great Britain in 1963. In fact, this tour is called the 50 and Counting tour for that reason.

..............Going to try the Citi pre-sale at 10 here on the left coast. Because I can't wait to stress and strife over expensive nosebleed tickets........What's a poor boy to do.

THE MAGIC FINGERS OF SWEET VIRGINIA HAVE US IN THE HOUSE FOR THE 31ST TOO. SAME SEATS!

I NOW HAVE A CHOICE OF SHOWS!!!!

LadyJane wrote on Apr 5^th, 2013 at 10:48am:


So...the second shows are starting to be "announced"...
Chicago and Toronto so far!!!


Nothing against Toronto...but to have 2 shows 12 days apart in the same venue divided by 2 other shows elsewhere......
they could have added an additional city like DC , Baltimore , Buffalo ( for LJ) or RALEIGH


GRATZ to you LJ and SV!!!

Question:

For those who got tickets today, how long was your wait time from making your selection to actually being offered tickets ?

The US sales were quite uneven. I was planning on getting tix for Chicago, which was going on pre-sale at 11 my time. So I practiced on Toronto, which went on sale at 10 my time. I just kept going back in. In the beginning they showed no pre-sale tix available, but after about 25 minutes a bunch of tix started to be offered. I was shopping the top price bracket, so I think a lot of people might have snatched them up, had second thoughts and then not completed the sale.

TicketBastard did try that old trick of selling crap seats to panicked pre-sale buyers. The first top price level seats offered were way at the back of the far end, or way at the back on the floor. This happened for both Toronto and Chicago. I just kept throwing them back, and eventually was offered seats in the area that LJ and I wanted. I think the key is not to panic. And definitely don't think the pre-sale is sold out just because seats are not available in the first couple of tries.

I know it is harder for the cheaper seats, as I'm sure more people keep them if they pull them, but don't let TM lead you to a bad decision.

And the fact that they added the show in Toronto and the show in Chicago during the pre-sales of the first shows really helped widen the ticket pool.

Good luck, West Coasters!

I just bought a Tounge Pit ticket for San Jose.

On Ticketmaster? What show was that for?

I played with TO and Chicago today and I threw so many pairs back, some were real good seats.

Edith Grove wrote on Apr 5^th, 2013 at 1:30pm:



Nope don't do that..it won't work.  

They do not allow you to have several windows open at the same time.  

Yup.  You can test it right now with two random events but I remember doing it a while back and it didn't work.  I suppose it was a way for them to combat the scalpers.  Not a huge effort but it is what it is.

Looks like I'm going to Hyde Park !!!!!!!!!

SweetVirginia wrote on Apr 5^th, 2013 at 12:23pm:

Yeah that kind of happened to me. Got in at 10. After a 15 minute wait,no $170 tix. Could of got great $600 tix. But I passed. Went back about an hour later and dropped my request from 4 to 2 and got side of stage uppers for $170. 5th row so not too high, Just hope they're not obstructed view. But I'm in for Oakland.

They added cheaper categories after they sold tickets in the $628 range? Surely thats misselling of some description?

RSRTG wrote on Apr 5^th, 2013 at 1:57pm:




Go on, my son!

I can recall countless times...of camping out...staking a place in line at 7am...speed dialing from work...to get a great seat...there was such excitement
in "scoring"a great seat for the same price as someone 100 ft back and 1 or 2 levels higher than you. So many awesome shows growing up in NY!!!
MSG...radio City...Macy's for Ticket-Tron...all great memories and the friends you made that night were special, even if only until 10:45am the next morning!!!

Today...You score a better seat by selling a pint of blood, and taking an advance on your CC...(Thats the real sad thing Mr Jagger).

The game that TM plays with the consumer is much like a casino...the rules/odds are stacked against the player....and the HOUSE always wins!!

Paranoid Android wrote on Apr 5^th, 2013 at 2:42pm:



This is sooo true, Marvin (if anyone around here calls you that ). I waited in line for 3 days for the Steel Wheels tour and those guys I waited with were the bomb. I had gotten there first so I was in charge of the list. I got 35th row, I think they sold out in 30 mins.

I remember being PISSED that there were chicks in front of us doing the Belinda Carlisle Bop who didn't even know the words to Brown Sugar. Still. Good memories.

I miss the days when Bill Graham would just come on the radio and say "At the sound of the Tumbling Dice. Rolling Stones tickets will be on sale".

Thanks, Bluzdude !

Philly is gonna be a real good time. 

People should avoid the Philadelphia show(s) at all costs.

I did the same thing with Oakland. had a chance at a nice pair of lower side satge tickets. For $600 each. Their is no entertainment in the world worth $600 a ticket.

Have tickets for Hyde Park. Looking forward to meeting ya´all again.
I know what kind of tickets I bought, but it seems my tier is moved around constantly, like some random shipping box, so god knows where I´ll end up.
I´ll start in the bar thats for sure...

The only way this works is if you use 2 computers, for example a laptop amd a desktop. Thats how I as able to score a ticket fot The Beacon, I had both computers searching at the same time and finally one ticket popped up on the desktop.

Maxmeister wrote on Apr 6^th, 2013 at 11:29pm:


You most certainly can Rick.
SV scored tix for both shows and for the reasons you mentioned I have decided to go to the 31st show!
I fly into Chicago on Thursday morning and depart on Saturday afternoon.
Looking forward to seeing you again!!!!

My nerves are shot!

Good luck...

LadyJane wrote on Apr 8^th, 2013 at 8:22am:

Well since everybody seems to be pulling the $85 tix up so easily. I'm going to try for those in San Jose.

Parmeda in for all three Chicago shows!!!

85s for both Toronto shows!

We REALLY need a Seattle show now!
Brainy

This is the first time I've had to use computer/phone for tix rather than going to a Ticketbastard outlet as in the past (local outlets in Portland not selling Oakland tix).  The pros do this much better than I; I consistently got cheap seats in the third to fifth row before today.  This sux.

Great news!

The strange thing about this little disclosure is that San Jose AND Anaheim both have hockey teams as well, with Aneheim ( #3) way ahead
of LA (#8) at this time...San Jose (#9)just a hair behind LA...but THEY have no problems with those dates...
and Chicago ( #1!!!)...managed to fit in 3 dates with no worries... Philly,(#25) Boston (#4) and Toronto (#7) are BIG Hockey towns...yet...somehow...no firm date for LA...

I am not an NBA fan...but for for the record...LA has 2 NBA teams at Staples Center...Oakland, Chicago, Philly, Toronto, Boston each have one as well

"The prblem"...lets face it...it is hardly the bands problem...nor the promoter...it's the fan's problem...
the first two are just grinning...as the last is sweating it out...up until the sport schedule is announced...
I just want to see if the ticket itself has any notation about a schedule conflict...
Sure...concerts get cancelled...rescheduled...postponed...for whatever reason...but I have never heard of them getting "bumped" for another event...

Sorry if I seem to be going on a bit about this... ...but I called them out on  this a few weeks ago before ANY city or date was announced...$urely, if a dope like
me could $ee the pending conflict...the pro$ could have...or dare I $$$$ay....

SCL...Thanks for the update...I am just ecstatic that My DC Caps...beat my NC "Canes tonight!!!

best of luck Sharks...

now...back to the STONES!!!!

I'm in for the 13th of july (hyde)!!!!!! yeaaaaaaaah mother fuckers!

had to order both tickets seperate as the system kept saying that not enough ticket were available

at 14.30 hrs still easy to get tix...

Jizzy, go for the random draw on Monday for $85 each & I'll see you @ Sully's pre-game
It's that or bust for moi...

I'm in for Philly.

i´m in LA!!!!!!!!!!!

which other date will be managed if not play in May 2?? i need to book a flight, but now or wait for new probably date???

sweetcharmedlife wrote on Apr 12^th, 2013 at 11:07am:


Nope!  I guess I'll see them on YouTube!

. . . can't always get what you want . . .

Bluzdude wrote on Apr 12^th, 2013 at 1:09pm:


I would agree about Monday... ...4 shows within 30 min/miles of on another could hurt them...but help the savvy fan.

So...the $85 tickets are all sold out...
CONGRATS to those of us who SCORED!!!!

Others bought regular priced tickets...
CONGRATS...

Anyone else taking the plunge??
Thinking of it???
Waiting till show time???
