MattZ Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Weird. I guess karma was on my side today? I got right through and got 2 tix. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I got 2 at 10:01. About that deal you mentioned earlier.... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Typically, Wilcoworld gets 10% of the venue to sell at presale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I got screwed :-( How did it sell out before 10:01? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IrishMickyWard Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 got 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
heyjada Posted May 9, 2007 Author Share Posted May 9, 2007 That was fun. As of 10:01 there were no tickets left. How may were set aside for presale? 12, I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hoyt Pollard Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I guess it's like the lottery. Same odds, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
pdiddy Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 So I set my alarm this morning to try and get tickets. Then while I'm clicking and waiting for the minutes on the clock to turn, I realize that the show is on TUESDAY, not SATURDAY as I had initially anticipated when I first heard about the Warsaw show last month. I was so dead set on the show being on Saturday, that even after they announced it, I didn't realize it was Tuesday until right now. And I can't go. I leave on Tuesday for tour. I hope they still add SOMETHING on Saturday! Already going to Merriweather, Red Bank, Northampton, & Hammerstein... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Congratulations, guys. My BF was on the phone with them at 9:58 talking to a rep. She waited with him, and at 10 said "They just popped up. How many do you want? Oh, never mind, they're all gone." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noyes Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 i can't believe i got a ticket. crazy.. like an idiot though i ordered the tickets "Will Call" instead of UPS shipping.but i'm not there was a UPS shipping option.oh well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
janzin Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 arrrgh well that was an exercise in futility. 10:02 sold out--it seemed like I waited forever to get through, the site must have been bombarded (and I'm on a T-1 line here!) I'd be more upset if I didn't have Hammerstein tix. Still...would have so preferred to see them in my home town of Brooklyn! (And I won't be able to be online for the tix at the box office.) Oh well, Hammerstein it is! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noyes Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 i wish i could get Hammerstein tickets. haha. anyone ordered Will Call as well?was there a UPS shipping option? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I doubt there was a shipping option....not with the strict policies they have in place to ensure there is no scalping going on. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyjimmy Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 At 10:29 my order went through. I CAN'T F###IN BELIEVE IT! wOOOOOO! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Stewart Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 At 10:29 my order went through. I CAN'T F###IN BELIEVE IT! wOOOOOO!Nice going dude! Way to keep at it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Damn it, I stopped at 10:25. Good for you! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gogo Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 That was fun. As of 10:01 there were no tickets left. How may were set aside for presale?Typically, Wilcoworld gets 10% of the venue to sell at presale.Somebody said earlier that the Warsaw holds 800. So, 80 went in the presale, probably. like an idiot though i ordered the tickets "Will Call" instead of UPS shipping.but i'm not there was a UPS shipping option.There probably wasn't a shipping option, this looks like it's going to be an all will-call show.

jimmyjimmy Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Damn it, I stopped at 10:25. Good for you!Thanks.Nice to know I'm not the only insane one out there who kept hitting that damn "continue" button Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mrs. Peel Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I have to admit, I really wish I hadn't read your post!But, I'm happy for you. Normally I'd take a ride down and get in line for tickets but at 1pm on Saturday I'll be making my final wedding arrangements. This damn wedding is ruining everything!

misslaura Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 Ok, let's all move on with our lives and discuss what time we need to arrive on Saturday morning and which venue seems like the best place to be. I want to go to this show as much as anybody, but I am not sure I have it in me to show up at the crack of dawn and sit on the sidewalk for 6 hours. What time are people thinking of arriving? What seems like the better place to be - Warsaw or Irving? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jhh4321 Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I'm gonna throw this out there again... http://forums.viachicago.org/index.php?showtopic=28291 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
noyes Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 "Someone told me that Warsaw is going to have the bulk of the tickets and not Irving so looks like its Warsaw Fri night for me." found this posted on BrooklynVegan.i believe this news.go to Warsaw, y'all. jhh, sorry man. i unfortunately won't be able to buy tickets on Saturday because i'm off to Chicago for work.which is why i decided to try out the presale. someone do this guy a favor.ANYONE. haha.but yeah, my apologies dude.

misslaura Posted May 9, 2007 Share Posted May 9, 2007 I actually called the box office at Irving Plaza and they told me that there will be an equal amount of tickets/vouchers at each location. That doesn't mean that it's true - just what they said. What time are people thinking of showing up? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
emilminty Posted May 10, 2007 Share Posted May 10, 2007 doubt this will work, but what the heck: i've got two hammerstein tix that i'd like to swap for warsaw. willing to throw in a sixpack or two if that helps sway anyone. pm me if you're interested. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
