got rush? Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Why was there no Tixs for most venues at musictoday.com site. I had no luck at 4 different different dates.
River Alph Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 took me 1.5 hours before any tixs showed up for Jones Beach
GorillaStrangiato Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 how long did you keep trying for?
Test4Vapor Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I was able to buy tickets for Hamilton too. I was targeting lower bowl seats, not floor, so I was putting that in. They didn't release bowl seats for about 15 minutes.
analog guy Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 For Denver, I had to literally refresh for 20 minutes before I got any. Finally did and got 17th row, which was slightly disappointing. These things are such a frickin' lottery it isn't funny. 1
Lost In Xanadu Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I looked for 4 in tier 1 twice. Looked in tier 2, found 4 just right of center, row 10 of second sections. Done. Rather lock in good seats than chance it for great seats.
Snaked Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I had a chance at 10th row center for Grand Rapids, but I tossed those back so a friend could grab them. Grabbed 5th row center for SLC for a buddy and got 3rd row center for Portland. People need to remember there are a *few* prime seats in the presale for each show, just not many. There are a bunch of good seats.. but not prime like there were back on S&A and before. 1
bootlegguy Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 I just scored 2 row 13 floors for calgary. You can still get row 15 floors for vancouver. Good thing someone mentioned it. Right now the American express presale would have put you in the back of the lower bowl.
thizzellewashington Posted February 19, 2013 Posted February 19, 2013 Got row 16 in Portland after about 10 minutes.
Ninja15 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 (edited) Right now the American express presale would have put you in the back of the lower bowl. Got my Amex presale notice nearly 3 hours AFTER they went on sale....aaaaargh!! Edited February 20, 2013 by Ninja15
HalfwayToGone Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I checked around 3pm and in Hershey I could get one 17th row floor seat. Passed it up. After being in the 2nd row for 2 spring shows, that would be a big letdown, I think.
AM2112 Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 For Milwaukee, I finally got section 1 row M after refreshing for about a half hour.
got rush? Posted February 20, 2013 Author Posted February 20, 2013 I was only able to try for 1/2 hour and I tried Kansa City and Cincinnati while a co worker tried Chicago and Milwaukee. After 45 minutes we gave up. I really don't understand how this could be possible. On the day of PRESALE ( 1st day Tixs are available ). I understand VIP is rows1-15 but I don't think Live Nation gets to sale all the seats in all near stage sections. 1-3Last tour I can remember people on TRF that had got seats up front rows 1-15. Does anyone know if musicToday and VIP LNation each have a set number of seats in each section they are allowed to sell????? Also, on the Citicard Presale Febuary 20th do they also have rights to certain premium seats that are not available elsewhere ? I just had pissy luck getting any seats for Summer leg. I'm going all in at PNC in Raleigh, NC. 1st Row Sec 1. This has never happened before that I can remember. I couldn't even get 1 ticket in sec 1-2-3. I WANT ANSWERS !!!!!!!!!! ANYBODY ? Lol 1
Sgt.D Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 It is frustrating to not really know whats up with so many different options/pre-sales ect. They prey on the excitement of the fans and offer no design or consistancy. The only sure choice for something close offers the most ridiculous of all, pay the most and sit for months not knowing where you will sit? Sucker! Of course we want to get in on the first offers, but then there are like 5 more in the coming days? The scary part is they have no reason to stop, we buy right in because there is no choice, and we love the band. We get worked over and inevitability seem to always be sitting next to some annoying, facebook addicted, care less about the show couple that brags "Oh,we just picked these up on Ticketmaster yesterday!" 2
Vive le Rush Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 Sgt.D, you are so right!!!!! And it seems to get worse every year!!!! Many of us are extremely frustrated about this seemingly unfair ticket mess, not to mention the lack of warning time between the concert-presale announcements and notifications, and the start of the presale dates and times. I mean, an e-mail announcement only 16 hours prior to the start of the presale, when we used to receive such an announcement one week or more before the pre-sale started........come on!!!!!!!!! :boo hiss: :crazy:

drgrendel Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 LOL @ Kahn. I have been reading ticket agency policies for about the last 2 days. I even examined the "pre-sale" policies regarding ticket distribution. I fail to see where there is a promise that only the best seats will be distributed to fans at the beginning of each sale. However, they do promise that seats will be available to fans. Sort of akin to the folks on the opening day of Trout Season complaining to their respective fish commissions that they did not fill their creel limit. No one promised them a rose garden ya know...but the opportunity is there. Just pointin' out the obvious.
drgrendel Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I do like that some bands will automatically offer pit tix to their fans in pre-sales. That is what I call "fan friendly." 2
bootlegguy Posted February 20, 2013 Posted February 20, 2013 I hadn`t even heard of this `musictoday`until yesterday, never used them before. Hopefully they are legit because you guys talked about it, I`m surprised they don`t email a receipt like ticketmaster does. It also drive me nuts that dates are announced and the first pre sales start a few hours later. This isn`t enough time to try and ask any of your friends if they want to come, or arrange further distance travel if you have to. 1

This isn`t enough time to try and ask any of your friends if they want to come, or arrange further distance travel if you have to. In an attempt to dissuade scalpers from purchasing all the presale tickets the promoters have decided to use this method.. which is VERY inconvenient to fans, but serves a purpose. As for finding friends or making travel arrangements.. you have a minimum of 4 months to work all that out. And yes, MusicToday is reputable. RUSH has been using them since 2004 without *much* trouble.

New World Manny Posted February 21, 2013 Posted February 21, 2013 I did well on Music Today for Milwaukee and "Chicago". Both right in the middle :dweez: of the pavilion, about 20-30 rows back. Sec 2 in Milw; Sec 103 in Tinley Park.
