Just got the email, too.

Hopefully this presale won't be as much of a nightmare.

On the one hand, a Ticketmaster presale will be smoother. On the other, Friday at noon is when Ticketmaster is often slammed, so it can get hairy. Crossing fingers...

but this is a much much bigger venue right? it´s not like 300 people

wonder if this is part of a much bigger tour, larger venues and much more dates than the Oct mini-promo-tour?

EDIT: capacity 1,500 people according to wiki

I imagine it's an album release show of sorts since it's a few days after the record's out. I can't picture it being part of a longer tour getting announced one date at a time, but I could be wrong given how quickly this whole album cycle is picking up steam. The venue's seated as well, so that'll make things different from the other three New York shows.

Anyone buy a ticket in the presale? The first result I got was upper mezzanine. No thanks. I'll risk my luck in the general sale.

On another note, I didn't notice the standing room option before. I wonder where in the venue you'd be standing.

Presales are always frustrating. When people can get multiple tickets and it's a tiny fraction of the available seats, it always goes fast. Hopefully it'll be smoother tomorrow at noon.

Ticketmaster tends to do a lot of breaking Fridays at noon when things generally go on sale. I'm hopeful for smoother sailing tomorrow since most things don't go on sale Saturdays, and leery about touts jumping into this general sale.

Standing room is likely behind the orchestra seating, at the very back of the venue. At least that's where it is for most Broadway theaters.

Thanks. That's what I figured, just from the layout and the price.

I had no luck either. Does Damien purposely want to populate his shows with lonely single people?!? Impossible to get a pair of tickets to his shows, I only got the option to buy one.

I tried the web and mobile app. Will try again tomorrow, I guess.

Did anyone get Orchestra Center? I saw a few on Stubhub already for a mere $600-$700!

Most of the time scalpers get the tickets using this

http://Www.ticketbots.net/products.a...0Spinner%20Bot

It isn't right but ticketmaster isn't doing anything about it.

If you get lucky get any ticket you can.

Good luck to everyone tomorrow!

This waiting for the general sale idea seems to have been a bad idea. No matches at noon on the dot.
