  1. I'm afraid of the ticket scalpers (online or not) abusing this return policy. Although, it could be used to reveal who these people are lurking in the shadows. I'm sure these people have "ticket runners" and don't buy all of these tickets themselves.(yeah, I'd like to return 20 tickets...uhm?!) Imagine ticket scalper A the night before the show or day of and says "ok, I can't sell these overpriced tickets at $200 a pop, so I'm going to get my money back and not lose anything." As opposed to ticket scalper A losing money, since no one (save for the rich) would pay $200 for a ticket and that sc
  2. Yes. I like the idea, but I find it too addictive for me and probably others to buy like crazy then return like crazy. I'll give you an example 1) You need a ticket so you catch a ride with your friends and you find a person selling a ticket outside the venue for below face value to get rid of the ticket. You buy it and everything goes smoothly. 2) Same scenario except you are afraid of buying from people on the street no matter how low they go to get rid of a ticket, so you venture to the nearby box office where it is still face value plus a service charge. Obviously example 1 can bite you
  3. Ah...I had to reread this a few times. At first I thought you meant that you wanted everyone to have an option of sending their tickets back if they decided they couldn't go or even worse deciding not to go. That would be horrible. I know of a few friends who I stopped buying tickets for about 5-7 years ago. (the fact that I had to buy tickets for them speaks volumes about their shitty passive nature. Edit: On top of that the tickets had to be the best seats in the house and the cheapest, if they passed inspection I'd get paid the night of the show or after the fact) It was all "I'd like to go
  4. I'm sure people know what's going on with the proposed merger between Live Nation & Ticketmaster. So I took this from the Minnesota Independent on December 31, 2009. "Minneapolis’ First Avenue night club is urging its supporters to oppose a proposed merger between Live Nation, one of the nation’s largest promotions companies, and Ticketmaster the nation’s largest ticket seller. The United Kingdom approved the merger last week prompting venues and consumer groups to ramp up efforts to urge the Department of Justice to reject the merger on anti-trust grounds. “In the last 12 years, since

  6. LOL. I love Craig Ferguson. Almost all of his monologs and interviews are amazing. I need to find the episode from last month where he was a "puppet". It was pretty amazing. He had on Jason Schwartzmann and Kristen Bell and Jason Segel who did his Dracula's Lament with the same puppet from Forgetting Sarah Marshall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=41m_DDKejAI&feature=related
  7. Choosy moms choose Jiffy Lube Live.
  8. It's certainly being advertised that way with it's tagline "You will never watch movies the same way again." I've heard that the story is very similar to Dances With Wolves. And people I know, who generally don't like big budget movies short on story, actually liked this film. I haven't seen it yet, but I think once I do I will have low expectations going in.
  9. OK. Then I guess my issue is with ESPN. Am I the only one who feels like they don't see anything similar about the NFL Super Bowl or the NBA or NHL All Star Games on the crawl screen? Maybe my eyes get glued to the crawl when it says MLB and I expect to see something about a trade. Anyways, it's really no big deal just an observation that I've made every day since December.
  10. What I can't get over is the MLB Network & ESPN listing the Opening Day Red Sox vs. Yankees game on the crawl screen every day since last month. 3 f^&cking months away!
  11. LOL. I love how the 1st thing that crossed my mind was "Wait, do I remember that?" or better yet "Wait, do I have that boot?"
  12. Oh Jesus! That's going to be a lot of pressure to think about that for 3 months now. Thanks! Just kidding. Do you think you'll be in action taking photographs? Edit: Looking at the Concord seating chart it looks like Wilco sold out the show. There's like 2-5 stray tickets on the floor level.
  13. Hmm. Interesting. I thought Jeff made the setlists the night of. Unless if you saw him after he made that night's setlist and was like "well come tomorrow..I'm not changing anything."
  14. This is me sending you good vibes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u4YhZiv5JxM I've heard the song open up the 2004 Brandeis University show and then again at the 2006 Pines Theater show. I think that's it? I feel like I've heard it one more time. Off to wilcobase to double check.
  15. I woke up a wee bit late this morning and missed my chance to upgrade my Concord tickets. (I can't really complain about dead center Row R aisle seat) It's a good thing that I woke up late because the site had you choose your own tickets. It could have been bad for my credit card. I'm curious to see if people fared better for this show in today's sale.
  16. From Ain't It Cool News and probably other places too.... "Don't know if this is newsworthy, but I just saw a Variety Screening Series showing of Avatar at the Arclight theater in Hollywood tonight, followed with a Q&A with James Cameron and two of his visual effects artists. One of the artists mentioned that they'll never again do this for the first time, meaning that everything they did in the making of Avatar was just a lot of instinctive grasping in the dark. Cameron agreed with him. He also told him to expect the studio to want another one, as they'd passed the billion $ mark. A sec
  17. I'd call up Front Gate directly. I called them the other day because I thought that I was being overcharged for my tickets which actually happened to the good folks in RI. It turns out that they raised the ticket prices rather sneakily. It was $2 cheaper on the venue site, then later in the day the venue site changed it to match the price from Front Gate. 1-888-512-7469 Edit: Do you have any info about the specifics of the ticket like row number, seat number etc? I think that you'd be fine if you give them your card number, since you saw a confirmation number through their site. Oh, did
  18. Yes, I received both of my email confirmations almost immediately after my ticket purchases. As others have said before, check your spam or junkmail folder.
  19. What Wendy just posted above...And I'd add that you could even post in that thread to bump it up to page one to give it more visibility. Also, I'd change your thread title to include in the subtitle the venue and date of the show. When I saw this this afternoon, I thought someone else got duped then I recognized your name.
  20. I will not rest until this case is sol-ved, Monsieur.
  21. I posted some ideas in the other thread but I came up with 2 new ones. 1) This sounds really stupid, but I'd check Ebay and look for tickets and see if they put up a pic of their tickets. It obviously creates people with TM ticket paper to print those, but some people feel the need to scan a hard ticket to make their sale via Ebay. 2) Call the venue. Tell them that you're coming in and you don't want to create a situation when you get there. They should know what a ticket should look like, although it may be different looking than the actual one from TM.
  22. Somehow someway this lady got onboard?!http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H2dvujUlR_o Could be from radiation poisoning?
  23. He's a never nude. There's dozens of them! Dozens!
  24. Nope. I checked that and there's actually no junk mail in there. Hmm.
