I'm just mad Tim B. never called me and brought 4 GA tickets to my house. I thought that was included in the $40 a year I spent?
He doesn't call, he just shows up. No one was home.
Same thing happened with Ed McMahon and me years ago, he showed up with a million dollar check unannounced while I was out...dude should have called and set up an appointment.
I wouldn't wait til the day of the show. I heard there were false tickets floating around in Stockholm last summer for the PJ concert. The show was sold out, but you could find left over tickets through the internet, that's what I did. But no, I would never show up without a ticket on the day. Buy in advance.
In general if you use common sense this isn't a problem. Avoid buying printed tickets, especially from scalpers. In fact try to avoid scalpers completely and get extras from fans. There will be plenty out there.
Getting tickets the day of the show sounds scary and risky if you've never done it. Once you try it you will see that it is no big deal and you will almost always end up with a better seat than if you had bought tickets on TM during the public sale

And often times for less money.

This is all so very interesting. So, the gates open at 5:30, show at 7:30. What time does one line up at will-call? AM?
They often don't release the extra tickets until like an hour before doors open, or even sometimes after doors open. Sometimes they play games and tell anyone lining up not to bother because there are no tickets, then turn around and release tickets like 30 minutes later. You just don't know. I would say if you are there looking for tickets at 5:30, you will have no problem finding them before showtime.

Just waiting and hoping to see some for $150 or less on Stub Hub or Craigslist. I can justify $300 for the higher priced tickets (100 and 400 level) versus $500 for 200 and 500 level seats. But if all else fails, I'll be at bars in Wrigleyville the day of, bugging all PJ fans for 2 tickets. If none there, I will be in line hoping for a release... It's rediculous that I'm willing to do all of this...

I can now say from experience that the advice to be patient is very worthwhile.
I just scored a lower reserved ticket from a fellow 10c'er for face.
And it's early yet. I'm just so stoked to be in the door!!
