Something is weird...

Why were Camden tix "Temporarily out of stock" earlier, only to still be readily available hours later? Maybe the band is simply getting as many tickets as they need from the venues/TM to fulfill the 10c orders? I mean, I am sure there is an upper limit, but I can't see how the few tickets sitting in carts which usually render tickets Temporarily out of stock are responsible for the BUY button still being up...something is up.

    honestly, ticketmaster is getting paid the same amount per ticket wether they sell it regularly or give the tickets to the ten club to sell. why not let us have a shot at filling the venue and letting everyone else pick through the scraps? Especially for a show like camden, where another one.....without a 10c presale is about to be announced.

    I wote this in another thread but here it is again. just my guess.

    I really think we are getting hit with all the fees on the tickets so Ticketmaster doesnt take a loss on tix sold to fanclub. For all we know it maybe that only 10% of the tickets can be sold without the service charges and fees. So maybe PJ was like "give us as many fanclub tix we need, and we will charge the added fees to our fans and compensate you for the money that you are not making off tix sold thru tickemaster." It is very possible. I think everyone here would be fine with paying the fees if it meant a much higher chance on getting tix thru 10c.

    I couldn't agree more. But that simply has not been the case in recent tours. Shows like Cleveland, Cincy and even Camden in 2006 sold out completely within an hour.

    Can you say "10C only tour"? How sweet would that be!


    I think there are a lot more 10c seats for all these shows

    If you are right that is an EXCELLENT compromise and the 10C should be commended for doing that ...

    I agree and think if this has happened kudos are in order...wonder if the 10c will ever confirm or deny...would seem logical for them to say "we have increased the number of tickets available to members"...anyway, this is a good thing for all of us. MSG will be interesting tomorrow

    if MSG tix are available 3 hours later i will strongly doubt the 10% rule.
