JMal Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Well, I think they usually get 10% of the tickets to release at presale and since bowery is under 600 capacity, that means less the 60 tickets. Don't know how none of us got any since it seems we were all on it right at 10 though. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
icantremember Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Now it shows "Presale sold out, on sale through venue 10/29" ...Was that 2 ticket limit a total of 2 tickets??? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I was able to put 2 in my cart, typed in the security code, and it came back not available. Buzzkill! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Preferred B Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Folks pissed about the Bowery: you've got to realize the Bowery holds, what, 500 people? Presales get about 10% of the venue. That's about 25 people who have a chance to buy a pair of presale tickets, out of everyone trying. It's annoying, but it's really just a math problem. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cbd Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 how is that even possible????? Looks like a few family members, couple of front gate employees and some inevitable scalpers were the only ones to get any tickets Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Some nut job already has tickets listed on Craigslist NY that links you to an eBay page. Buy it now for $600! A steal. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Evening Star Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Quite annoyed: I was able to use the drop down but it wouldn't actualy let me purchase the damn things. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Got 2 for C'ville! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cbd Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Got my two for Charlottesville. Orchestra center. Row F. Initially it said none available, but I tried again and it worked. $8.50 for shipping is ridiculous, but whatever. congrats. You're the only person I know who got them. Those are excellent seats. I was supposed to be seeing Aretha Franklin there tonight from 2 rows up and she canceled for the second time Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted October 27, 2010 Author Share Posted October 27, 2010 anyone think they'll add a second NYC show on the 5th?Thanks. I kind of suspect they would, unless there's some scheduling conflict we don't know about. Obviously the one night at Bowery is gonna sell out instantly, so it makes sense.

remphish1 Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 I saw...how is that even possible? They seemed to have covered evey loophole to prevent scalping.If two people score two tickets each they can each walk in one guest or sell a pair...every show is unfortunatly scalpable Wristbands do though cut back on it significantly.. Only a similar note I completley forgot about the PRESALE! I am such an idiot (I remembered 5 minutes ago!!!)! Wish me luck on friday! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 Wow, the ticketing system is really crazy. As I said, I got lucky and got 2 for C'ville, but that was on the phone. I had tried calling in starting at about 9:50 and finally got through on hold, and someone answered at about 10:02. He was only able to find 2 but they are excellent seats, center orch., row B, seats 105 and 106. I was meanwhile trying furiously to get more on the computer and my cellphone, but I had the same problems as everyone else--it looked like seats were available, then gone before I could complete the transaction. I wasn't trying to hog tkts, by the way--just got lots of friends who want to go. So now we're going to try to get the presale for Paramount Theater supporters, which means $75 for membership, but we're splitting that between 2 people. I have a friend in C'ville who's going to go to the box office first thing in the AM. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

u2roolz Posted October 27, 2010 Share Posted October 27, 2010 here's to hoping jeff adds a massachusetts date I would highly doubt it considering that they just did a whole weekend of music there only a few months ago. Granted it was on the other side of the state, but I think he'll skip us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
