TheBluePhoenix Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I was online when the presale began and the P1 seats were instantly gone! WTF?! Did anyone get seats in the ORCH sections? I guess I'll have to buy from an online scalper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 The same thing happened to me in West Palm. But what I did is went back in afterward and the P1 tickets showed up. Then I called the main office and they exchanged them and canceled the previous order.but you need to do it over the phone! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fordgt99 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) I took a look just to see what would pull up. Nothing good at all. Another thing that bothers me is how far back the P2 tickets were. According to a post on RIAB.com, there's 4 price levels for Atlanta: $89 $75 $59 $40-lawn section Where the BEEP are the $59 seats gonna be? The last couple of rows before the lawn section?!? Oh yeah, did anyone happen to see what the VIP package costs? Just wondering. Edited April 27, 2010 by fordgt99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
greg2112 Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 (edited) Just did pretty well in the fan pre-sale for the Bristow show. Got in at exactly 10am, and got tickets in the center section right behind the orchestra section. With the inclined seats at the venue, it should be pretty nice. Tix are pretty expensive, at $128 a pop, but obviously worth it. Word of caution: a friend of mine had a similar experience to the one you're describing- he also couldnt get in, so it may help to pair up with one or more people when buying tix to these shows Edited April 27, 2010 by greg2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

strangedevice Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I got row 12, Geddys side through the pre-sale, took me about 20 minutes of trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Funky Chicken Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 Just got two for Bristow thru the Music Today presale in Orch 2 row R (18th row center). I had thrown back a bunch of 101,102,103 seats and one other set of Orch 2 seats that were further back. Spending $350 instead of $140 to be a few rows closer and get a goofy t-shirt doesn't make sense to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Digital Snowdog Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 After 2,112 tries finally got tix Orch 1 Row M. That was about the best I saw thru the Rush.com presale. Saw some groups of 2 around row K...but never anything better. What a frustrating experience! The first 15 min the only thing I could see was the back sections and even then I was not getting any hits. I've kept checking back every 10 min or so and don't see anything better than what I got. Argh...I'll try again Friday a.m. just to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tupelobarchetta Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I ordered two sets of tickets in the Orchestra sections. First set: Orch 1, Row R, Seats 12 & 13 Second set: Orch 2, Row T, Seats 7 & 8 I think the first set will wind up being rejected because of an incorrect billing address. I didn't realize the mistake until the transaction was completed. I went through the order process again and wound up with the Orch 2 tickets. If I receive both sets, I'll keep the Orch 2 seats and sell the Orch 1 tix, which are on Geddy's side of the venue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 I think they released crap tickets for these presales - i.e., nothing in the first twn rows and very few for Orch 2, in the center. I am hoping for better luck Friday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. JD Posted April 27, 2010 Share Posted April 27, 2010 We got 13th row (row N) in Orch 3 on Alex's side for Atlanta. I tried for about an hour and the best I ever got was row K. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really, really am shooting to get tickets in the pit this time, and I am pretty sure Ticketbastard has a lock on those. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously, the last time I had really super-great Rush seats was 3rd row on Counterparts tour, and that was the result of getting a lucky draw. I want that experience again before they hang it up.
