Sold out before I could finish processing my order!!! That's like 1 minute!
I actually called off work today just so I could get a ticket. F***! Just need one. Can anyone help a brother out?

I went to the Ray show at Hiro a few weeks back. Those tickets went just as fast, but Hiro sold numerous walk ups (though those buyers were let in after ticketholders).
I still hate TicketWeb |

I stayed at home a little bit later on my lunch break to order these tickets. Apparently they don't hold tickets until your order is completed like ticketmaster. As much as I hate ticketmaster, at least they make sure that if you try and get tickets you have a reasonable amount of time to fill out your order. I just got off the phone with the guy from ticketweb and all he could tell me was that I am basically out of luck. - Matt |

y'all without tix, that is horrible. i hate when these things happen. somehow i got thru, even though i too got a processing error. it took me back to the preview page, i held my breath, and then i had my ticket, confirmation number and everything so it's (i hope) a sure thing. i'm notoriously nervous about ticket sales.
i'm flying in from miami and going with my cousin from ny. she managed to get one too. but i've been in your place before and while i'm happy i got a ticket, it really saddens me when real fans miss out. for those of you going, see you there. for everyone else, again, i am so sorry and i hope somehow you manage to get a ticket--you never know there might be a way. good luck. |

My girlfriend is flying in to Syracuse that day so we can drive to NYC and go to the show. I've already got hotel rooms booked. I'm pissed.
I'm submitting help tickets now on their website and if I don't receive a fair resolution of the situation I am going to be causing a ruckus. I can not believe that their system does not reserve the tickets you are trying to buy for a certain period of time like Ticketmaster does. As much as everyone hates Ticketmaster, I think that they have won me over with that simple feature. - Matt Last edited by gbs3769; 11-01-2006 at 05:41 PM. |

wtf, the show sold out in 3 min! i was on the phone with ticketweb bc i had class and didnt have access to a comp. so i ran out of class and by the time they processed my credit card over the phone it was 1:03pm and there was a system error due to a high volume of people buying them on the internet and there was no tickets left.
someone actually has 2 tickets on ebay for $400 buy now. |

I had thought, up until this evening, that I had gotten tickets to the show. I got to the confirmation page that showed a confirmation number, but had to log out quickly since I was at work. Unfortunately I never wrote down my confirmation number. I just checked and I have not received a confirmation email from TicketWeb, nor is my credit card charged. Anyone else have this problem? I emailed TW Customer Service, but of course it's closed and can't find anything out....

waaaaaaaaaaaaa
what I'm upset about was the confusion at the bottom of the order request page, where it asked for an email address and password without stating what it was for. Was it to create an account, was it for existing account holders, i didnt know so i left if blank, it made me re-do the page and by that time it was sold out...anyone else have that problem.

I was able to score two tickets, thankfully. I had created a profile earlier in the morning along with my CC information so I didn't have to wait for any of that to go through when working on my order. Might want to try that next time you need to use Ticketmaster or Ticketweb. But by the time I went back in to try to get some tickets for friends, it was sold out. That was pretty damn quick . . .
I hope some of you are able to find the tickets that you need. (Spam, we need to meet up again sometime.) You can still try for the Beacon a month later . . . |

I'm kicking myself for not putting the info in beforehand but I had some cause. I've just moved here a month ago so my new CC for NYC hadn't arrived yet. I was using my dad's from back home. I actually went to that create profile page first and when I got to the part where it said you have to physically show the card itself at the box office that made me pause for a second thinking about having to get my dad to mail me his credit card (never the best idea). I thought "there'll have to be be other options for pickup when I buy the actual tickets". So I decided to do it live instead. Not realizing the following:
The biggest misunderstanding remains that at exactly 1pm when I saw the buy tickets sign finally light up, once I clicked on it I thought that meant I had made it through and was now already purchasing mine. So imagine my surprise when 1 minute after 1pm after taking my order it returned from processing saying no tickets were left. PLEASE tell me one of you will be at least taping the show! There was a profound lack of that for the majority of the Fiona tour.

Wow! It's been a while! Great to hear from you! Every once in a while, a song of yours will play on my CD Jukebox when I'm doing a random play... Hope things are going well for you! Yes, apparently I got screwed too. I actually had a confirmation number up on my screen...did not write it down and now there is no record at all that I ever had 2 tickets according to Ticketweb. Not happy...but, things happen. Serves me right for not being prepared, but I was trying to be discreet since I was at work and closed out of the site in a hurry. Anyway...nice to hear from you! I'm surprised I haven't run into you at any shows over the past few years. I think I still may owe you great seats for somthing for the great DG tickets you sold me! Take Care, ~karen |

So I saw a posting on craigslist for tickets to the show. I emailed them and they sent me to their ticket scalping business which is located in Ithaca, NY. They are charging $200 a ticket for tickets to the show.
I haven't been able to find an up to date letter of the New York State ACAL (Arts and Cultural Affairs Law), but according to the 1999 version, brokers can only sell their tickets for a markup of $5 or 10% of the original purchase price. The original purchase price is $30. So I reported them to New York Attorney General Eliot Spitzer's Office. I hope to God that they get either shut down or fined very heavily. ****ing assholes. - Matt |

Ticket sales are always a mess aren't they... Should we go back to people having to queue outside the venue on the day? At least then if you don't get a ticket it's because someone else wanted them that bit more.

i remember for radiohead's US small venue tour this past summer people were selling tickets on ebay for ridiculous prices, so radiohead fans that couldnt get tickets because of scalpers made accounts and bidded i think millions of dollars for the tickets, in order to screw up the auctions and raise awareness on ebay.
