hwllo Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm quite frustrated right now. I wanted to get my brother and his fiancee Wilco tickets for Minneapolis as a birthday gift. Got on there at noon, floor seats came up, and when i clicked continue with purchase, a ticketmaster error popped up and the tickets were gone. Now it's sold out. Fantastic! can't wait to see those seats on stubhub. what a joke Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Autumnteeth Posted September 24, 2011 Share Posted September 24, 2011 I'm quite frustrated right now. I wanted to get my brother and his fiancee Wilco tickets for Minneapolis as a birthday gift. Got on there at noon, floor seats came up, and when i clicked continue with purchase, a ticketmaster error popped up and the tickets were gone. Now it's sold out. Fantastic! can't wait to see those seats on stubhub. what a joke I am still in limbo on a ticket I don't know if i bought or didnt. I go through the whole nightmare, typed bfsndne gabbler on captcha, get one ticket, go through the screens,get to the final one, and hit submit. Waited for three minutes. Got an email from ticketmaster, saying here is your ticket, but on the screen got a message there is a problem with your order. I got back in, got another, but gave it up when I realized if I did get the first one then I would be over the limit and lose all of them. The thing that makes me mad is I am not a scalper. I am a father of two daughters who love Wilco and this is their big Christmas gift, I emailed ticket master, and got an awesome response back: Due to the high volume of emails due to ticketing problems we will not be able to respond to you. great. This is now how I am going to live my life. Due to the major screw up I made I will not be responding to complaints about bad CHECK ONE: WORK, PARENTING, SPOUSING. I see all the stuff on stub hub and am not happy. Still, I am happy Wilco got involved and has taken measures to stop it. My solution is if it is seen on stubhub, etc. it is taken back and resold. Can't encourage the scalpers so I will keep trying legit means. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I also was in the same boat in terms of wanting 3 seats but only able to get two through presale. It's just such a mess cause I remember 5 years ago having no problems getting these tickets. I'm glad wilco is getting more recognized, but unfortunately in cases of these small shows it's at the harcore fans expense, so to speak Quote Link to post Share on other sites
