Kind of Weird

DS1119

For as many people that were complaining about not getting MSG tickets, I can't believe that the Newark tickets didn't sell out after two hours. I think us in the club have a tendency to slightly over react. I am lucky enough to be going to one of the MSG shows. It was really weird being able to place tickets in my cart at 2:45 (couldn't buy them obviously) but at 3:01 all hell broke loose again. I would have liked the opportunity to get the tickets at 2:45 but whatever. It looks like its the same jammers who are constantly "fighting" each other for limited tickets. Hopefully in the future more Ten Club tickets could be made available. Its pretty obvious its the same people...its not like Newark is on the other side of the country. I guess I could sum this up with...if the tickets were sold the same way for Newark that they were for MSG the site would have locked up and people would have been still trying to buy them.

I think they were fairly close to sold out in the first two hours and that was with a huge part of the PJ population waiting. I mean... a lot of people got left out of MSG, but a ton got one show so I think the fact that they were gone within a minute of the 2PM on-sale is pretty crazy.

Thanks Pete

why did you try to get tickets before 3pm? You had tickets to MSG so why clog the site? Btw, could you expand your logic regarding your last sentence for us common follk?

I was fooling with the site at 2:45 from my blackberry while driving and had zero problems getting the tickets...trust me I wasn't bogging the site down for anyone. In summary I guess all the bitching and moaning I believe wasn't because of a great majority of fans not getting MSG tickets, it was from fans not getting both nights. If there were SO many people who didn't get either night why was it so easy to get the Newark tickets prior to 3:00? By how many posts were on the forum it should have sold out as quick as MSG. If this show was sold like the previous MSG's or Boston shows where it was a free for all you know how much complaining there would be on the board...and it would be from people who already had tickets to other shows but somewhow the system would be "unfair" and how they are being screwed. Bravo Ten Club!

In all honesty, if the software allows it, this is probably the way to go in future sales. For the first hour or two, only people who live in the same state as the show get access to their home show and then open it up to the travelling fans. :idea:

As a traveller to NYC I'd have no problems with locals getting access to tickets ahead of me. Let's face it, only us tourists should be forced to use ticket resellers.

MSG didnt sell out quickly. It was just really slow. I got my pair 3 hours after they went on sale for both garden shows. They didnt do anything different today, besides the head start.

here's my 2 pesos

i didn't get either MSG... and I didn't even attempt Newark... a Tuesday in New Jersey is not an easy thing to pull off from Boston... without taking 2 days off from work...

so while i had plenty of interest in MSG...
i had less than zero interest in newark...

why do you feel the need to put your name and member number on every post? just curious

It's a tribute to the commodore 64 computer, but it should look like this C=64

From what I heard today the site wasn't bogged down at all.
The ppl that I know who got in for the first 2 hours got tix fast and easy.
The same for me at 3 pm...no problems at all.
So, if a few ppl were just checking it out before the actual presale, I don't think it added much stress.
Either not as many of us as we thought got fully shut out of MSG or not all of us want to go to Newark.
I have Club tix for night 1 so i had to wait till 3 to get Newark tix.
I'll get into MSG night 2 too...if my fellow Club Members are as good as I think they are

Good for you, Commodore 64 Dave.
Apart from your hypothetical, non-empirically based statements, do you really need to tell us your story? Next time, save some of the mystery for your soul mate and leave us out of your non-cognitive ruminations.

Senor Andrews- I used your moniker for Dave, knowing very well that it was, in fact, you that had named him as such. I figured that the natural sequence in the thread would have been sufficient to demonstrate the continuity in logic, but if you needed to clarify it then so be it.
Peace

So a Thursday at MSG is really that different from a Tuesday in Newark. I mean the two arenas are about 15 miles apart. And about the member number it's something that was started on these boards a while back. Sometimes I pout it, and other times I don't.

Wow I thought this was an open forum. Sorry a55hole.

Ah, yes - now you engage in the age old tradition of cussing which, of course, does not help resolve arguments that well.
As long as the forum is "open", our respective opinions are valid.
Peace

just to put this out there as far as the ease of tix for newark:
There are probably a handful of fans like myself who planned on goign to MSG1. I was going to fly in on wednesday and leave the following sunday. I would have to take off three days from work. Unfortunately, I was unable to get tix through either presale, but if I had been able to score tix, I would have booked my flight that same day and not been there for the newark show.

Also, I assume many folks who got tix for both MSG shows have already spent nealry $400...

funny, I think Dave makes a good point and has made decent discussion... along with the other 20 people who were talking about his points in this thread. Why you're the only one with a trolling issue in this thread is the only mystery I see.
