2008 MSG Ticket Sales by the numbers

edited March 2010 in The Porch
For those of you wondering how many tickets were available for todays MSG presale, here are some numbers from the June 24 & 25 Pearl Jam shows played in 2008. Most likely these are close to what was available today. I know this does not make it any better for those who did not get tickets but hopefully it will give you an idea as to how many they get. Remember they did offer a presale from ticketmaster before the public onsale for the shows in 2008 at the Garden, so hopefully they will be able to offer that this time around as well. For each night the fanclub got about 30% of the venue.

June 24th 2008 Capacity 18559 Ticket Price $72.50
Fan Club Presale Tickets 3510 (1755 pairs of tickets)
Ticketmaster Tenclub Presale with Gardenofstone password Tickets sold 1996 (999 pairs of tickets)

Fanclub seats on the floor 2094
Fanclub seats in the loge 60's-90's 896
Fanclub seats in the 100's section 516

Floor seats 39
Loge 327
100's 406

    exactly. i remember when this happened. chances are, they'll try to do the same thing this time around. then everyone will be happy...until they see that they aren't on the floor or in the first row.

    So basically it took aprox. 4 hours to sell aprox. 1755 pairs of tickets today? 4 hours in 2010? That explains it. The 10 club is using Fred Flintstone's computer.

    that is my biggest beef, update the fuckin server. it shouldnt take 4 hours to tell us it sold out, if the server was faster it be better, id rather see the show sell out in hour not as much bitching, as 4 hours of clickinga nd praying that is brutal

    i got night 1, missed night 2. and after it all felt like throwing my computer out the window into the swimming pool. click click 10,000x drove me crazy

    People say 'update the server' like that's the answer. It's not. The server is fine, it is software related.

    Its necessarily the server its managing the server or multiple of servers. The goods section or the check out section should be on seperate servers to control the traffic.

    The presale was how I got tix for 2008. I was thrilled that they did this as I couldn't get anything for those two shows. Was lucky to get 5/20 yesterday (still no e-mail confirmation yet, but it's in my history and they took my $ so I think i'm good). Wasn't so lucky for 5/21.

    very interesting....thanks

    so last time around none of the 10C fanclub seats were in the 200,300, or 400 levels?

    That's encouraging!

    On the touringfans site, it looks like many were. But those could have been from the Ticketmaster presale I guess.

    the data is from msg ticket audit done after the shows were played. I know people who have access to this information and I just posted it for everyone to see. I could give a lot more data if you wanted it like tickets for the radio stations comp tickets msg ticket holds etc but I just figured the numbers that everyone cares about are related to fanclub seats.

    Thanks

    oh, you're so wrong. people would love to bitch about all the tix that werent allotted to the club. :lol:
    If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
  • rspinarspina Posts: 37
    Your right I should include the fact that ticketmaster decided not to give the other 11000 seats that had and sold them to potential scalpers keeping them out of the hands of people who got shut out.

    I second that. I'm fascinated by the politics of tickets.

    If what you said is right, do you think that means that the people who secured tickets yesterday through the fanclub presale will get good seats? It looks like no one from 2008 got anything worse than 100 level.
