Only sold out until Friday. Get somewhere with a better internet connection, and use a better clock? Since so many people got in line ahead of you, there must be some issue on your end. Good luck on Friday!

Please tell me that this is just a small selection of seats and the public purchase date will be another opportunity to buy tickets

Got mine for the BOX on Saturday!!! I live in Boston but hes not coming here. Haven't seen him since 2007 so I had to go.

Also on the confirmation email what do you think this means?

"Tickets will be available for pick up at the venue ON THE DAY OF THE SHOW ONLY. Your tickets are guaranteed to be within General Admission Standing. You will receive your exact seat location via email within 4-6 weeks of purchase. "

Do you think it will be a seated show?

The presale doesnt even matter that much. The NY shows are general admission. Who cares when you buy your ticket? It all comes down to how early are you willing to get in line on the day of the show.

This is actually exactly how well Damien ticket sells went in 2004, too. The Spring theater tour was accidentally put on sale days before it was intended. I bought 12 seats first row center through presale, two at a time, through different friends.

No. That's a generic email conf. It's a standing show.

I think thats boilerplate language. This will be a standing show, general admission.

Same here. I was able to get front row at both the Tower and Beacon shows, and clued some friends in about it, and they bought seats next to us at the Beacon.

The Box only has 250 seats total. So, sure, this is a small selection, but the public on sale will be just as impossible to get.

Maybe, but this is standing room. Who knows how many people they'll let crowd in there?

What would be your suggested course of action then? Being a first time show goer I'm at a loss of what I should do to get in.

I was also on right at 9 trying to get tickets to the 10/16 show at The Box and couldn't get through. Kept trying until it was sold out. Lucky for me, both of my kids (22 & 19) are also huge fans, and they tried to get tickets as well. My daughter tried for Warsaw, but had the same issue as others with the code. Thankfully, my son got 2 tickets for 10/18...it's a good thing I know he loves me!

Perhaps they will try to fix the Warsaw code issues, and we can have another shot at tickets before the general on sale?

Give it the old college try, but realize of those 250 seats, the point of this tour is to get industry people in there, so maybe 200 of those tickets will even go on sale to the public, and accept the fact you're most likely not getting in.

An interesting thing about the Brooklyn pre-sale...If you put in the code, it says the code is not currently available, but if you put in some random stuff, it says the code is invalid. A subtle distinction.

Wow. Alright. Just a little disheartened with it all since I followed the pre-sale protocol to a T, but I appreciate your honesty.
