Wendy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Did anyone get Knoxville presale tickets?There was this minute window of opportunity apparently.I never have any luck with presale tickets, are there like TWO tickets available??? I always have luck with presale tickets, but not this one. If anyone here got tickets in the first 10 rows, please say so (so we losers today can rest assured it just was not our lucky day, instead of the first 10 rows being held back from sale.)

Doug C Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 The sale started at 9:58 by my computer clock. The first 4 times it kept giving me 'no tickets available'. The 5th I was able to buy 2 orchestra right row G seats 2 & 4. The only time that I have failed to get tickets during many, many pre-sales was for the Residency. I must be like that New Order song.

Jeremy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I got tix, but it was about 10:10 when I got them. Orch Center, Row R. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skyline Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Two tickets, Row A!!! I assume that's front row, unless they seat people in the orchestra pit. I've never been to a show there before...the theatre looks amazing. Seating chart: http://www.seatingcharts.com/view_chart.as...mp;locid=110687 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Seating chart: http://www.seatingcharts.com/view_chart.as...mp;locid=110687You'll have 3 rows in front of you if you are in the center. If memory serves correctly, row a should be about 10-15 ft from the stage. I've never been that close at the Tennessee Theater. There's really no bad seats, unless you are on the far left or right.

skyline Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 Thanks for the info, guys (or gals). I'm pumped. Saw them at the Ryman for the first time last year...between the DVD release, and this show, April's shaping up to be a pretty good month. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Drazil Posted February 18, 2009 Author Share Posted February 18, 2009 Row A? Life is NOT fair. But congratulations!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 good work skyline! row A! OK, I guess I'll just try in the regular onsale. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
frogwater Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 i was on right at 10am and it immediately said something like 'not enough tickets to satisfy your request.' i was only requesting two tickets. so i kept backing out and going back in and getting the same message. i did this for about 8 minutes and finally got through and ordered my tickets. i got row B in the pit, and am extremely stoked about this. and just an fyi... every musictoday presale prior to this one i've ended up with "worse" seat locations than were available on the morning of the actual onsale. i would attribute this to the fact that musictoday only gets about 10% of the total tickets to sell for the presale, and the remaining 90% are held for the actual onsale. at least that's what is says on their site.

jff Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 When is this show, and when is the public on-sale date? I might have to drive up from Atlanta for this one. EDIT: Nevermind, I just found out it's on my birthday. Set road trip planning sequence in 3..2...1... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Elixir Sue Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 OK, I guess I'll just try in the regular onsale.I spent all morning at the jail and totally missed the presale. Wendy, are we going to try to go together? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wendy Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 I spent all morning at the jail and totally missed the presale. Wendy, are we going to try to go together? Yes! I tried every seat number combination and only came up with waaaay back seats. I will keep trying today in case somebody's credit card gets declined or something, but I was hoping for decent seats to justify the cost of traveling etc. But yes! We need to phone team up for the regular onsale unless you are in jail again (), and see who pulls the best seats and buy those. I still have hope! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

skyline Posted February 18, 2009 Share Posted February 18, 2009 ok thank you!so would the best plan of attack be to just sit on the screen and refresh it until i see the "buy now" beside wilcos date?Absolutely... And if you don't get tickets on your first try, keep trying. We had to try for about 5 minutes today before we finally got our tickets. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
