I was trying for just 1 ticket - ONE TICKET to either Boston show or either Philly show... no luck.  None at all.  SOOOOO BUMMED!

Now it says for all 4 shows "Presale allocation sold out", so I don't think others will be showing up.  Really sad!

And.... now WASTE website is updated as well, just shows Friday onsale date.  Waaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

2 for Sunday Night in Boston. I rolled the dice and just refreshed until onsale came on. One browser session and just waited about 9 minutes until the purchase screen appeared. $201 total to see my favorite band other than Pearl Jam in a GA pit in Boston.....2018 has been good to me between this and Ten Club

After about 5 minutes of being in queue & watching that wheel spinning for each Boston show, I gambled & went back to click the link for each night again, and got right to the ticket qty selection option. There was no queue that second time around. I'm pretty sure it's not supposed to work that way.

It's 2018, how the hell can they not get it right after all these years? I'm not complaining, I got what I wanted, but if we followed the instructions and remained in queue, we probably would have come up empty handed.

could someone pm me the link please?

Welp happy I got GA for MSG in 2016 because it’s certianly not happening this time around. I probably missed by mere seconds as I got into the queue very quickly.

Hoping to score a single for one of the Boston shows.

I’ve only seen them once, on the Kid A tour. I hope this summer changes that. 

Did you see them in Boston on that show?  Suffolk Downs?  I've seen over 1,000 concerts in my life so far, and that show remains one of the most all-around perfect shows I've ever seen if it was.  And that wasn't even my favorite Radiohead album by a long shot.  But what a show!

That was the show, the one & only time I saw them, and you're right... it was perfect. So perfect that part of me wants that to be my only live Radiohead experience.

But f that, they're easily in my top ten bands, I'm excited to see them again this summer... not only once, but now in B2B shows, it's only been 18 years, I think I'm due.

You should absolutely see them again.  Even though that show was so perfect, it actually wasn't my personal favorite Radiohead show that I saw (which would have been '98 at Merriweather Post).  But nothing can undo the perfection you've already experienced, so make sure to go!  I'm crushed that I got shut out today but I'll try on Friday and see what happens.  Make the most of it, as we all know from Chris Cornell and others, we can never take for granted how much longer we have to see the bands/artists we love.

Buck_____ did you see the post asking you to take the link down from your post here? PM it to anyone you want to share it with, but don't make it so easy for scalpers!  Wish it was true that PJ didn't have any scalper fans, but it's just not true unfortunately.

I should have seen them in May of '12, on Memorial Day, but I ended up starting a new job the next day; going to a concert the night before didn't seem like the best idea so I sold my ticket.

& you're damn right about Cornell... I stretched myself thin getting to TOTD in Philly, but I sure as hell have no regrets about that now.

Both sound like good decisions to me (not going right before 1st day on new job; doing all you could to go to TOTD).  I didn't get to any of the TOTD shows and have never seen Chris Cornell come out with PJ, so I've never heard Hunger Strike live or any other TOTD songs.  

Make sure you report back on your Radiohead show(s) this time around!

Thanks Sea, so if I understand that correctly, it is indeed a bad idea to post presale codes here that are supposed to be for fans in a fanclub or fans signed up for a special offer, right?  Scalpers are resourceful people, and there's no reason for us to make anything easier for them than it already is.  This presale is alread over obviously, but please everyone keep that in mind moving forward.

Letting scalpers get the code is one thing, but it's also not fair to give the link or code to real fans who were not previously members of the fanclub or who let there membership lapse.

I got really lucky and landed 2 GA tickets to the 7/13 Friday MSG show. Will be my first Radiohead experience...just recently got very into the band about a year ago (typically me to find a new favorite band 25 years into their existence). Extremely excited for July.

Congrats! I hope I can score decent seats during the regular sale.

Will do... I honestly just hope I hear “Where I end & you begin” which if I’m not mistaken, they were playing again in the last year or two after many years of leaving it off setlists. 

Even if I don’t, I haven’t seen them since Kid A, so I’m guaranteed to hear a lot of stuff I’ve never heard before. 

Good luck in the public sale, I hope you get what you need!

Thanks for the good wishes Merkin Baller!

I do remember "Where I End & You Begin" in the setlists last year that I looked at online, so hopefully you'll get your song.  But hey, it's Radiohead, no such thing as a bad setlist really.  They're one of the few bands that even when I'm not crazy about a song on record, I usually still love it live.

If they play this in Boston, I will poop myself

For sure- they've released more albums after Kid A than before and including it

Not only were the 2016-2017 tours were great, all of the radiohead.tv broadcasts were amazing quality.  I listen to them regularly and the band is at peak form.
