Glad I didn’t shell out $60 on eBay for a vinyl copy of the first Mermaid Ave.

I guess it’s hard to please everyone ‘cause everyone likes different stuff. But if people are using this board to do market research: - I don’t want a t shirt with my music. I don’t want a bag and I don’t want a yo yo. - I like vinyl. So for my money, put all the music on vinyl. If there are bonus tracks, I would gladly pay extra for a deluxe version of the album with all the songs. Make it two discs or three discs. That I will pay for. Don’t make me buy a CD to get the bonus material. - If you want me to pre-order, make it something I can’t get when it is released generally.

Yeah, bobfrombob was about 3 rows from the stage and it scared him so much he started referring to himself in the third person. Despite how it's being reported about Bluesfest evacuating the site, Cheap Trick just left the stage. I guess from their vantage point, they had a much better look at the sky and could see it coming. They were only about 20 minutes into their set and pretty much ran off the stage. There was no evidence of Bluesfest evacuating the site from my vantage point until the stage went down. It started collapsing about 5 seconds after they ran off and as you can see in th

And even with this system, it would be pretty easy to issue at least a generic ticket stub to everyone when they enter. Which isn't ideal if you collect the stubs, but it's something.

Probably right. If you want to try: http://whatismyipaddress.com/change-ip

The only reason scalpers sell tickets is because people keep buying from them. Don't. In lots of cases, if you wait them out, supply outstrips demand and they have to sell below cost. That is the one time when scalpers provide a valuable service.

Do you know how to change your IP address? That should work.

Ticketmaster? Have you been refreshing a crazy amount? Or have you been using the "back" button instead of going starting again from the original page? If you mess with the system too much, they will lock you out for 24 hours.

2nd Central Park show added SEPT 23. Tix onsale Fri 7/22. Stay away from that secondary ticket market. Info: http://t.co/H0JsZaM (from Twitter) and then I see this:

It's your list so you get to set the rules but All Over The Place was promo only so if not radio play, what was the point of it?

Buying more than 2 would for sure have some level of risk. I can't imagine that Overture Center will compare notes with Frontgate. So I think the chances of getting caught "now" are very low. But if all the tickets are Will Call, and you pick up 6 or 8 at the box office, they may very well bust you then.

Unless I'm missing the point/parameters, you don't have: All Over The Place Reprise PRO-A-9094 10" 33 ⅓ RPM Someone Else's Song (Live), Promising, Kingpin (Live), I Got You (Live), Don't You Honey Me, Passenger Side (Live), The Lonely 1 (Alternate)

There is a Montreal presale today. It is a general admission show so the tickets won't be any better but they're not Will Call.... And you don't have to wait 'til tomorrow.

Gotta link for the presale site? I can't find it on Live Nation. The passwords are often very easy to crack.

Hard core. Nice job at Bluesfest!

Scalpers are an industrious lot. They are not afraid to post tickets before they have them in hand. They may be expecting to get tickets in the public sale.

I haven't bought enough Frontgate tickets to know for sure what their practice is but most ticket sites aren't that precise with the time. I've seen tickets go on sale minutes early and minutes late.

It's GA and it's Will Call only for the presale. I'm taking my chances with the public sale. As someone said earlier, Will Call is inconvenient.

I just updated my post - don't forget to hit "refresh" or it wont change.

Hard to know from that description where you are but for Montreal, I was sitting on a page that had a "on sale July 13" message on the right hand side - I think it was in red font and the rest of the font was black. At 10 am, that changed from a "on sale" to "purchase" - but I had to refresh the page.

There were one or two "don't they know who I am"s but I read them as tounge-in-cheek.

I think that would be the public sale. Presale today.

Tonight at Bluesfest.

Deep breath. Good luck.
