Hemispheres89 Posted June 9, 2010 Share Posted June 9, 2010 QUOTE (DetachedandSubdivided @ Jun 8 2010, 09:07 PM) Today I received my 2 tix from Music Today for the July 5th show in Chicago. I then hit-up Stubhub for a pair of tix for the Chicago show on the 7th - I had never used Stubhub before - and after seeing their 'service charge', I have to wonder if they are just Ticketmaster in disguise? Won't be using them again. Soooo, somebod's gotten their July 19th tickets yesterday and now somebody got their July 5th tickets today, and I STILL don't have my July 17th tickets...... I can't help but feel disgruntled Is anybody else waiting for the July 17th tickets for the ACC in Toronto? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone gotten tickets yet for the 7/3 show in Milwaukee? Well, somebody's gotten their July 19th tix and somebody else just got their July 5th. I still don't have my July 17th, and you still don't have your July 3rd. I see a pattern there. I think they ship certain tickets out at certain times based on your region, but judging by those dates that have received (and those that have not), I can see a pattern. July 3rd is two days before July 5th, and July 17th is two days before July 19th. Is that a coincidence or have I finally gone insane over this presale thing?

coolcool23 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I'm also still waiting on my Milwaukee tickets, preordered in April as well from Music Today. Tomorrow is 15 business days away from the event and I was thinking about calling them because the order webpage still lists no tracking info/indication that it's shipped. I've sent three emails to two separate addresses over there (two about an issue with the time machine tour merchandise storefront, one about the tickets) and I've only gotten one response which came after about 10 days or so on it's own. Getting pretty nervous here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't want to miss out on the damn SHOW! I heard they wait 2 weeks prior to shipping to neutralize the possibiity that we might scalp our discounted ticjets for its original face value. But technically... even if they do wait for the 2 week allotment, we could still show up at the venue on the concert date and scalp outside for that value. They're nuts for doing this.

So avoiding reselling or scalping tickets is a lame excuse Interesting that you brought up the Stubhub thing. I actually have 2 orders pending through the Music Today presale. I jumped on the first set I saw thinking it was the best available but later saw much better seats offered and bought a 2nd pair of tickets. I posted the 1st set on Stubhub but they ask for a date you guarantee to ship them by. Knowing that my last Music Today purchase for the S&A tour arrived a month in advance I put down a date of June 16th as the latest I would ship the tickets sold. My bigger concern now is that if I don't meet the 6/16 date promised, the purchaser can back out of the transaction and then I'm stuck trying to sell tickets 2 weeks before the Milwaukee 7/3 show. I tried emailing them and got a response 3 days later asking me for more info. I thought my name, date of purchase, venue date, venue location, band I'm seeing, and confirmation numbers for both purchases was sufficient info but I guess not. I'm totally pissed with this whole waiting game especially when others have received their tickets through the same presale for concerts weeks later than the one I'm attending. Am I being an ass about this whole thing? Just flippin' ridiculous in my opinion. Edited June 14, 2010 by syd11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coolcool23 Posted June 14, 2010 Share Posted June 14, 2010 I just called Music Today and was informed by whomever I spoke to that they ship tickets out two weeks before the event. For what it's worth, I confirmed that that was like a firm date that they handle for all of their shows and that I should be able to see a tracking number on the page next Monday (ten business days out from the event). If I don't see that number on Monday, I'm calling again and literally demanding a tracking number. Based on my track record with this company, I have no faith whatsoever that they'll straighten out a problem via email in 10 business days.

Ohhhhh, but that makes it even more laughable then! Ironic, isn't it? MusicToday wants a firm date to go on, but they don't do anything for us. Let me say that you are indeed not the only one worried about this. There will be people who will say "they'll come! Relax!"

Geez, this is my first time dealing with MusicToday, or any kind of presale for that matter. But judging by your histiry with them, it's making me skeptical on ever dealing with them again. I should just take my chances with Ticketmaster. Sure, it's not doling out presale tickets, but at least I know they won't steer me wrong, and my tickets would actually be here, in my hands, in record time.
