    I got lawn seating and that was it.

    What really gets me is that within moments of the ticketmaster sell out there are like a dozen ne listings on ebay already to sell those tickets.... F'ing sleezy bastards.

    Keep trying, people - seats are to be had - just no good ones! This makes me VERY excited - a show sold out this quickly means there are going to be a lot of big fans there, methinks.

    Ten Club's reign of tyranny continues, buying up all the tickets and shutting out long-time fans!

    Doesn't have to be the Amphitheatre. The demand is clearly there.

    Oh Come On people...please don't tell me that this is the first time you've ever seen TM or Livenation claim a show has "instantly" sold out........be smarter than the system everyone!
    There's Pearl Jam, The Rolling Stones, Chuck Berry, Robert Johnson......and then everybody else.

    That was insane - 3 friends all logged in and ready to buy (atomic clocks sync'd and all) - nobody pulled anything better than 405 Row D at 2:00:09 (?) - next was the back row of 401, 409, etc. and then lawn. By the next pull 2s are gone. A few singles coming up in the back rows of 301 and 305. Makes me really nervous where my 10c seats are going to be - fucking internet scalping business makes things so much harder. Anyways. See you all there!!!

    Congrats to you... should be an amazing event! I unfortunately had server issues getting on the 10C site and was unable to get logged in and they sold out before I could get some... I got GA tix though on TM, so at least that's something! Making the trip out East from Alberta just for this... hoping that by some miracle that they add a few more Canadian dates to the tour! That would make my friggin' year!!!

    Woo Hooo... where's the pre-party??? & Where are we going after??? I have some awesome stuff to donate this time around!

    There were plenty of singles ten minutes into the sale. Managed to pull a pair in 405 right off the bat. my friend Lonya managed to get a single in 301 about ten minutes in. Makes you really appreciate what 10c does for their members. Thanks 10C keep up the good work.

    i know it will be hard but i think best option is to wait until closer to the date and check the board ... many 10C sell their extras for face because whoever was gonna go originally can't ... it's usually the case - good luck

    Keep trying. TM puts tickets up sometimes after the initial sale, people have their credit cards rejected, etc.

    But I've found the BEST way to get tickets is on this board. Usually two people both go for tickets, and if both get them, then they have a spare pair.

    Otherwise singles are to be had all over the place on this board usually.

    Good luck.

    between the 10C securing the entire 100 level and the majority of the 200 level for 10C tix, as well as the Amphitheatre concert season ticket subscribers getting a crack at tickets before the general onsale (those tickets would take up the rest of the 200 level seats behind 10C's seats as well as a good chunk of the 300 level seating), it's really no surprise that it's slim pickings for the general onsale,...
    To quote the 10C from Newsletter #8: "Please understand we have a lot of members and it is very hard to please everybody. If you are one of those unhappy people...please call 1-900-IDN-TCAR."

    I hear you. I'm in the same boat. Missed out on the 10C sale b/c I was already in town that day for a conference but it was ending that day and I was getting a ride, so I had to check to see if we could stay, by the end of that -sold out . No luck today on TM. :cry:

    Well if anyone managed to score 10C and TM tickets and is looking to get rid of a pair (anything other than lawns) I will gladly pay face + throw in a sealed self titled vinyl and poster.

    no one can be certain if 10C's allotment went into the 300 level, but one can speculate,...
