I got MSG!!!! I GOT NY ONE!!! Boston here I come!!! WoooHoooo whoppity doo....

Why the rush over the presale and the ticketmaster sales? I buy my tickets two days before the concerts, get better seats, and are cheaper... Ive seen PJ in Boston 3 rows back, for 70 bucks, PJ front row upper level center for 40, and Isat front row for the Eddie Vedder solo show for 20 bucks! Other than that, Kings of Leon 6th row, black keys 3rd row, and john mayer 10th row all for half price...Hell, I saw ben kweller in the front row and bought two tickets for .99 cents total....

I dont understand the hoopla. Maybe I just have a stroke of luck?

    Maybe so, maybe you are just lucky.
    I don't think your story is the typical one.

    That having been said, what's wrong with people being excited and happy?
    Don't step on it, man. Just join the party.

    Don't listen to these people. I happen to agree with you. They're true narcissists of the rarest form. They're all the biggest fan. You get my drift... and I have had the same "luck" with tickets outside of the 10C. Maybe I'm jaded. I also think Kat should lock this thread because the initial post was legitimate... the responses are idiotic and serve no purpose.

    Yep. Nice thing is that this tour is so close to the last one where I got to go 4 night spectrum, I'm not flipping out over MSG tickets. Going to try to get some in an hour, if I do...wuhoo. If not, I'll keep trying ticketmaster (or whoever is brokering) for a good pair where I'll be comfortable.

    MSG doesn't do it for me though. Three shows there on fanclub tix and they all have sucked so far in terms of seat position, the floor there is just terribad and that's where I always get stuck.

    i've never understood the big deal either. ticketmaster has always worked better and with less hassle.

    To each their own, yeah?

    Personally, I don't like the uncertainty of waiting until right before the show to try to get tickets. I'm happy it's always worked out so well for you, and it's probably worth trying, but I know I would be pulling my hair out between now and then.

    And ticket days are exciting. Everyone wants to share it. It's just human nature.

    I GET CAUGHT UP IN THE EXCITEMENT TOO!!!!!!!!! I strangely feel obligated to purchase 10C tix, even though I have usually scored better beats from brokers. But I love my boys and love supporting them and have given my 10C tix away when the seats were shitty and I was fortunate enough to be able to purchase better ones. Hey if my episode at Philly didn't make me quit 'em, nothing will! How is this for a kick in the teeth... I was able to score tix from 10C for 3 of the 4 nights in Philly... as I was picking up my tix on 10/31 a kid strolls up to the window and asks "Any tix left for tonight?" I'm like yeah you got no shot kid! I almost collapsed when she pushed a ticket out to him and he pushed her back some cash... BUT THATS NOT THE BEST PART...the best part is my tix were in the 300's and his was in the 100's.... I was so hurt, but I still had a great time!
    JAMMER FOR LIFE!
