Everyone one is saying how easy it was to score tix. Don't forget we are talking about KC here not NY. I garuntee tomorrow it will be different....I hope I am not one of them complaining but I am sure we will have out fair share. I missed out on the second philly show last year but got other 3. So I am sure tomorrow the site will crash and some of us will get shutout.....we'll see

    Your "garuntee" not withstanding, no one is suggesting the MSG ticket sales will be a breeze; however, the demand for today's tickets can't be compared with demand for NYC/Boston/Hartford tickets,...
    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."

    "Me knowing the truth, I can not concur."

    now correct me if iam wrong but is it not true that every time someone is complaining about why they dont come to this or that city ... and every time it ends up with these "small" towns dont sell out and the big places like NY, Boston ,LA , Seattle and so one is a fight and a lot get dissapointed, why not try to please so much more people and only play big venues in big ( read popular ) cities.
    MSG is not a big venue i´ll bet that u could find a bigger place in NY

    I like the off cities, better seats by 2-5 rows usually.

    I got shut out of all four dates in Philly because the 10C site kept crashing. :( I ripped that F'n guy's face off so many times you could have called me "Buffalo Bill". The Club let me down big time on that day. :evil:

    I ended up paying about $1500 to various Ticketbastard scalping subsidiaries in order to get seats in front of the stage (all Ticketbastard sells to the general public are seats behind the stage, the rest are apparently earmarked for their captive scalpers) for Philly 1,2 and 4. The prices for Philly 3 were way out of my price range even up to the last minute. I'll just have to live vicariously through the boot when/if it arrives.

    "Relatively easy" my ass!! I think you can probably expect the same tomorrow ....

    The only thing I'll say is that the site came to a crawl during each of the 3 sales this morning for me, and that scares me for tomorrow. If KC, STL and Columbus can get the site to grind to a halt... what will Boston and NY do?

    It's going to be nuts and I bet a lot of people are giong to have to go through checkout 5-6 times befoer it finally goes through!

    Bad game plan paying so much to "ticketbastard" scalping sites. I went to both shows without tickets worked the parking lot for less then 10 minutes total. Bought 2 tickets to Philly 3 for below face, and found a ten clubber (BrainofC if i remember correct!) and bought one for face value for Philly 4.

    Put your trust in the 10 club fan base next time! Flew out from Salt Lake with no tickets just a hopefull attitude.

    the first two philly's were horrible. the two shows they added were releatively easy.

    I'm expecting msg to raise my blood pressure tomorrow. it all depends on how many tickets 10club gets. hopefully they get a lot. who am i kidding, it's going to suck big time.

    The Kansas City metro population is approx. 2.3 million. Now I know its not New York but damn give us a little respect. Yeah I'm from KC and I'm prolly sitting 2nd to 4th row. Thanks 10 Club. I love you.

    well if you want to include the metro area than the NYC metro area population is approximately 18,800,000
    all I am trying to say is that there is probably 10x the number of members in the region and probably 10x as many members trying for MSG tix so you really cant compare the two onsales
    but way to toot your own horn regarding your seats :roll:

    I thought for sure this was going to be a thread discussing the classic Yankees vs Royals playoff series of the late seventies and early eighties. Disappointing. :(

Because they care and they want you to enjoy the shows. Thanks again 10c and thanks to all those who were happy for me that they let me get them. I will pass on the good fortune that was givin to me.

    I say screw going to MSG and getting shit seats for me... The band plays just as passionately to a smaller market.. The show doesn't have to sell out to be energetic or profitable.. Do you honestly think that this band must sell every ticket and make every dollar they possibly can? This isn't U2 :lol: Anyone attend or hear the boot from SLC last year.. An amazing show.. I shared a ticket with a 400xxx member and we were 7 rows from Mike on the side of the stage. In Philly my 272xxx seats were on the floor 4 rows from the very back row.. Ugh!! I'll also take a safe $50 a night hotel room over a shady $200 one. I hope you all have fun at your Northeast shows, please don't hate on the medium markets.. There's plenty of love and jam to go around..

    these midwest shows will either sell out or comes very close. there is a higher concentration of fanclub members in the northeast. just bc the 10c tickets are still available doesn't mean the venues will be empty.
    i have a paper here that entitles me to fast track status
