On the positive side: 80% to 90% of tickets will be on TM

CJMST3K

A few years ago after getting shut out of a presale I asked the TC what percentage of ticket they had available to sell during a presale.

---

"10-20 percent of venue capacity, depending on the show.

Thanks
10C Staff"

---

That means that 80% to 90% of the venue's tickets are going to be put on sale thru TM soon!

Just some hope for those still looking. The majority of tickets are still available.

Act fast during the public onsales and it shouldn't be too difficult to get in the building.

I did. Just barely. Their ticketing system crashes so easily and for so long, I just don't understand it.

that's years ago man. believe me the program has grown from that. based on me asking people in both chicago 09 and new york 08, i bet at least half of the tix sold were ten club tickets. it's in everyone's best interest to pre-sell as many as possible. live nation and ticketmaster still get all their money and so does the venue and so does the band. presale tix are always non-refundable so that money is available right away for everyone and, if the band facilitates more of the purchases, then they cut a check to livenation and not the other way around. trust me, it's more than 20%.

those tickets will be gone in a flash and appear on the scalper sites for 300 a piece good ones twice that- not a lot of hope with TM well until a few days before when they release a bunch.

so if MSG has seating of 20,000, then only 2,000 - 4,000 were available for each show yesterday, and since they sold in pairs, that meant only 1,000 - 2,000 of us were able to get through for each show yesterday. that explains a lot about the problems

cool thanks, I was just wondering what the % was. I do think it has gone up recently like someone said, but I will keep trying because I got shut out yesterday.

i think MSG is perhaps a different situation..
the owners are hardnoses and have a plethora of lawyers in the forefront .
( this corporation owns not only the knicks/rangers but the building itself, radio city enterprises , as well as cablevision, the very first cable company )
they always want thier share first upfront,
i would guess they dictate if , what and how much tickets are alotted for such events- their businessmen first and fans second . Its billed as " The Worlds Most Famous Arena " so we know what their spin is going to be be from the get-go .
Also - everyone in the fanclub wants to attend these shows- regardless of their geographic location , as we all saw in the presales yesterday .
Would be interesting to know how many were allowed for these shows, just for shits and giggles.

no kidding...who said anything about fact? it's all a guess, but it's always worth it to keep trying.

A poster earlier today had an impressive run-down of the 10-C seating at MSG in 2008. Not sure it's accurate, but it said roughly 3500 fanclub tickets per night, which is close to the 20% discussed here.

Good point. The Dolans (especially James) are major assholes. Remember, these are the same people who kept Isiah Thomas on board even after they had to pony up $16 million in a sexual harassment suit due to his actions.
