yankhotelfox Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Speaking of Bridgeport, I'm trying right now to buy them during the presale but it says I need an access code to get in; not the "TENACIOUS" one used to get into the ticketmaster presale either. Not sure what's going on. Anyone? http://www.bridgeportbluefish.com/event/details/150 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yankhotelfox Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Thanks...lowercase does the trick. The site is very overwhelmed right now so I'm still waiting but it looks like I will be all set. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yankhotelfox Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I've been trying for 90 minutes and it still won't let me "check out." Each time I try, it (eventually) goes to the "problem loading page/Connection has timed out" page. Ugh! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yankhotelfox Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I just successfully ordered them over the phone. 203-345-4800. If you don't know the code word, it's "tenacious." Quote Link to post Share on other sites

yankhotelfox Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Cool. I know Bridgeport is a dump but this venue is pretty neat and to see a lineup like this in my home state at a minor league park AND with General Admission is an absolute no-brainer. Pumped!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 has anyone bought tickets who hasn't posted? It's hard to keep track. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
yankhotelfox Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 I just called and they said they were gonna process the phone orders (which I placed while the site was down) and also bought a pair online...I've yet to receive email confirmation about either order. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Chris_H_2 Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Doesn't look like the Chicago show sold very well on the first day of sales. I'm able to pull up some seats that are pretty sweet 8 hours after onsale... Ticket sales for Chicago must be terrible. You can still pull 4 seats in the center field section.

TheSunCaughtFire Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Checked out the Toronto pre-sale and the front center section 102 (covered) was available so I went for it. I usually have to cross a border and drive or fly for hours to see the band so I couldn't pass it up. Three hours after I bought my ticket there were still seats in that section and I haven't checked back today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dagwave Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 ticket availability thread, anyone? "Lotsa open seats for the Gary Glitter Reunion Tour with Special Guest KC and the Sunshine Band" go Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bböp Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Interesting the pricing of this tour. The $$ varies widely from show to show. And the variety of venues too, from sheds to ball parks. I'll be hitting the Bridgeport show, and it's all general admission for $68! Keep in mind that Dylan is selling "hot ticket" packages or whatever they call them that allow early entry at a lot of these places. So even though it's all GA at some venues, folks who paid for those "hot tickets" will be getting in before the "regular" GA folks. At least that's my understanding. Best to set your expectations properly if you care about being right up front... It is interesting that the "regular" pricing does seem to vary at least a little bit from venue to venue, though.

Mr. Heartbreak Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Pricing within venues varies widely too: $105 for my GA spot in the pit, $215 for folks just behind me. A heavy penalty for needing a seat!My old timer friend and I will have to just suck it up and eat some Advil. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Not really a penalty. Simple economics. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jules Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Well you've brought up this "scam" about the higher priced seats a few times, so I thought it was necessary to point out it is not a scam or penalty or anything like that. Just a higher price that people are apparently willing to pay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

deathstick Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 The Bridgeport Bluefish website was a mess until almost noon last week. Thankfully I got tickets, and an email later acknowledging the fact that their system locked up while I was in checkout mode saying I could get my tickets had I not gotten them earlier. 80 bucks for Wilco, Jacket and Dylan sets is the steal of the summer even if you don't stay for the entire Dylan set. Should be interesting as Wilco will be a well oiled machine by July and the Jacket has taken a bit of a hiatus while JJ tours solo. I still see both bands killing every single show this on this tour.

kse Posted May 7, 2013 Share Posted May 7, 2013 Still pulling PIT and front sections for the Camden, NJ show, does not appear to be selling too well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Magnetized Posted May 9, 2013 Share Posted May 9, 2013 Virginia Beach alert: Apparently during the pre-sale and even up through yesterday, there was a glitch in the Live Nation/Ticketmaster website so that pit tickets were not showing up as available at all. Also, I had earlier been informed that IF pit tickets were available they would be reserved seating. Well, I have now been in touch with the box office manager who was able to exchange my former seats for pit tickets AND she told me that the entire pit is GA. She indicated that they've now corrected the website to include pit availability. So this is just a heads up to anyone going to VA Beach. If you prefer pit over whatever you got already, jump in now before they're all gone! They really do honor that exchange policy, but if you have problems online or with Ticketmaster, call the venue box office like I did. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Atticus Posted May 10, 2013 Share Posted May 10, 2013 Not really a penalty. Simple economics. You should share how penalized we're going to be in June. NAPE. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Rusty Shackleford Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Maybe we already knew this, but according to the 9:30 Club's blast email this week, Wilco will play a "full set" at the Americanarama shows. I went ahead and bought a pit ticket for Merriweather, which are apparently still available on a will-call-only basis. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
