    Other than hearing all of the northerners bitch at the southern fans for not selling out the shows, then watching them bitch about there not being enough tickets/tourist taking tickets to the northern shows...

    not really.

    tried for tix through 10c for both MSG shows. Both times got through to the part where you put in your cc# & the site froze & lost the tickets both times...

    ended up with reg sale tickets for #2 - no luck for the first night.

    in 2003 at the 7/2 mansfield show my dad, his friend and i were at the tweeter center when he realized that he lost the tickets. At the time they both worked for rolling stone magazine ( both quitting because everyone there were complete assholes) so they told the woman at the ticket both and came back with 6 row tickets!

    I have a situation that sucks from this tour.

    I bought tickets for 5 shows total....Camden I, MSG I&II, Hartford, Mass II.

    So, Hartford and Mansfield II went on sale the same day. Hartford first, then Mansfield 2hrs later.
    I placed my order for Hartford, went through...no problem. Got the email saying the order was received and a confirmation number.
    Mansfield goes on sale...no problems....get tix.

    I get an email several days later saying that Hartford show tix was not processed since the card was declined.

    I emailed 10C right away trying to figure out what happened. There was NO WAY that the card could have been declined as I had a few thousand in that account. PLUS, Mansfield went on sale 2hrs later, and that got approved without any problems. I tried several times to get them to release 10C tickets for this mistake.....but had no luck. I have been a member of 10C for more than a decade so I was pretty upset about it.

    So now, I will be going to Hartford with some friends but am stuck on Lawn seats when my 134xxx number seats are gone due to some mistake with the processing of the order.

    But the way I see it, I have been to so many PJ shows in great seats...that if I have to sit on the lawn, drinking a beer, and someone else got to move up...its quite ok with me!
    ...44 shows...and counting....

    That pretty much fucking sucks. Did you ever figure out what happened? Wrong exp date or security code?

    would have been nice if they would have contacted you to verify before they cancelled the tickets. That happened to me once - typed in the wrong billing address, but TM called to verify the info and put them through when everything checked out.

    Always a huge fear of mine - I typically don't like storing my ccard info on websites, but I would do it for this site so I didn't panic everytime I enter my cc info checking out. Used to have faith that the item would stay in my cart and I could take my time, but after the EV solo ticket buying fiasco that went on around here, I try and get in and out pretty lickidy split

    Nope, they dont store records of what happened. They said the card was rejected but I made sure to have more than sufficient funds in the account. It could have been a typo error on my behalf, of an error on theirs. No way to tell.
