Your Strategy to getting tickets?

I didn't try for Boston, but I am going to try tonight for MSG II. I am 3 for 5 in getting tickets in my 10 club life. Struck out on the two hard to get Philly shows....so I am asking for advice.

Where does everyone start?

Do you do refresh or back and click on tickets box?

    its like taking a gun and blowing your brains out..

    to me , that's less painful than hitting refresh and all the other BS this years sale has to offer..

    only to come up ripped off and empty...

    I'm really pissed at the 10C for the first time since joining in 1994..

    I am pissed!

    I have a perfect record of getting tix.


    However I was lucky Philly 4 had a huge allotment because I had a lot of issues with that one.

    I believe I will have met my match for the MSG shows.

    I'm not sure why, but I've never had any trouble at all.

    I'm 5 for 5 and have always had my tickets by about 5 mins after the sale starts.
    The only people we should try to get even with...
    ...are those who've helped us.

    Right 'round the corner could be bigger than ourselves.

    one hand on 'F5' and the other on the mouse. although, i'm sure you'll nail it!


    hey on another topic...did you ever get 411 on lauren who was sitting next to us in philly? if not, i will forever die an idiot for not generating a convo on that. and if you're looking for someone to hit the show with, keep me in mind so i might redeem myself!!! ;)
    I love to turn you on

    I didn't get the 411 on her. They jackass behind us where hitting in her the whole night. So, I didn't want to follow that up. She was a gem though. I can't believe her sister was on the phone the whole night in row 10 seats...ughhhh.

    As for NYC. I think I'm going with my cousin, we are going to try to get the tickets. If this fails, MSG Tix Saturday Morning.

    This was my first miss INCLUDING the days when you had to call on the phone to get the Augusta, ME Civic Center tix back when it was General Admission, (the one where Denis Rodman toured with the band) and I can't in 2010 get 2 tickets?

    I keep my memebership current, tell my PJ buds to get on their memeberships and a head's up for tour news and this is the thanks I get. Thanks ten club, thanks a million.

    This new system *insert explitive here*

    Nope, but trying to help others out, so I'm also doing the refreshing thing. The friend strategy, it's not a one-way street :)
