    ticketmaster is a fucking joke. all the tickets were gone in like a minute and i was there right on time and all they had were balcony. i was just trying to see how hard it would be. i'm trying tomorrow for the philly show and it looks like it is going to be impossible if you don't move quick and precisely.

    I got two tickets at Tier Level, Row A for the Monday Baltimore show. I'm feeling lucky and relieved--I wasn't able to score tickets to see Eddie last summer, and I HAD tickets for Pearl Jam in DC last year that I had to unload at the last minute. Very happy to be attending this show!!!

    So what'd they cost? I heard that if you try to buy a ticket from TM, they send a rep to your house and he kicks you in the balls. Is that true?

    Also in for Sunday. Row X of the balcony, but it took 10 minutes of trying after getting messages that no tickets were left before those came up, so I wasn't about to pass them up. Probably the worst seats in the house if there is such a thing... lol

    I'm just eagerly awaiting the confirmation for Albany 2 show. I got denied for Philly 6/12, and my bro got denied for Baltimore 6/14. We are both on TM at the same time and NO LUCK today. Ugh!
    ...44 shows...and counting....

    the thing with ticketmaster is that you can't give up. keep refreshing and keep trying till you see something you like.
    if you think what I believe is stupid, bizarre, ridiculous or outrageous.....it's ok, I think I had a brain tumor when I wrote that.

    i dont think the prices are all that bad....

    there isnt going to be any crazy demand for these shows....just my opinion....

    $150 isnt bad for a ticket....
    it beats paying $300-$500 for a ticket...............

    I got a pair of Balcony, Row K tickets to the Monday night show. I had Orch, row Y tickets, but it had an error processing my order; I lucked out in still getting a pair of tickets! Plus, my fiancee will probably enjoy balcony more! :)

    I'm still getting shut out on night 1, but that's OK. I'm just thrilled that I get to see EV again this year!

    So what'd they cost? I heard that if you try to buy a ticket from TM, they send a rep to your house and he kicks you in the balls. Is that true?

    They did, and then he gave me a bill for travel expenses, a $25 convenience fee, and a $2 facility charge. Steep, but definitely worth a kick to the genitalia from big buisness.

    So basically about a whopping $10 over what it cost to buy from the 10c?

    These came to $193 a pair. What was 10-C? $170?

    Anyway, I'm not sure what point you're making. 10-C can't put on a full tour without Ticketmaster, from whom they have to buy these tickets. Good for them for not gauging us for the extra $23 or so, right?

    Sure, more power to them. I just find it absurd how much I hear people around here whine about TM being SOOOO expensive when really, it's not that bad. And the icing is that this comes from people that think nothing of hearing about a show, booking a $300 flight, a 3-star hotel, and staying a full weekend to see the band in a city across the country. But TM is somehow breaking their bank?
