Karena Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Does anyone know if they hold back any good seats in MT presales to be released later in the sale or do all the good seats go first and that's that? Presale goes to tomorrow night but there's just crap left right now. Don't know if I should bother checking anymore or not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted April 24, 2012 Share Posted April 24, 2012 Yes and no. Yes, tickets sometimes appear after the initial rush at the beginning. There are a number of reasons for that. I'll go over the main 2. 1. The MT system holds tickets in your cart for 10 minutes. Even if you close your browser without making the purchase the seats are on hold for 10 minutes and then they are dropped back into the pool for the next person to pull. This however would not result in a good ticket suddenly appearing so long after the sale begins. 2. MT like all online retailers has a very active anti-fraud department and orders get cancelled that do not meet scrutiny. This is why we saw a post today from somebody that got 4th row for Brooklyn. The tickets didnt magically appear, the previous order was cancelled by MT and the tickets were dropped back into the pool. HTH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted April 25, 2012 Share Posted April 25, 2012 I lucked out...I tried first thing this morning and could get nothing on the floor, and nothing closer than the section half way back or further....I tried about a half hour ago and got club level seating, first row in the front 1/3 of the venue (Philly) I was pretty much giving up on getting any decent seats from the presale.

Geddy is worth more than two Alexes?! Well, he sings, plays bass and keys. Sometimes all at once. I would say Ged's side is worth a bit more.
