Kind of Weird
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 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!

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.
-ed july 8th MSG 2004
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
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

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.
um Dave didn't call himself c64 - that was me being a pissant
Peace
Cheers Satan, no slight upon you, I just making sure he wasn't hit for my warped idea of fun
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.
As long as the forum is "open", our respective opinions are valid.
Peace
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.
I think you need to expand your view of the situation...
a Thursday (followed by a Friday) at MSG IS completely different than a Tuesday in Newark (preceded by a Monday in Boston)
I'm not talking about people within a short drive of these venues... I'm talking about people driving or flying a few hours, taking off work, etc
people saw 2 shows in NYC ... they made plans to make it happen... and then tried for tickets
now... people have all kinds of other plans and committments... personally i'm taking time off for buffalo and nyc... a tuesday dropped in the middle of those plans doesn't work
i'm assuming many others are in the same boat
I think many others are, I know I am. Could have had 10C tickets at anytime during the first two hours they were on sale yesterday but decided against it because of the cost of more travel. It was either driving and a hotel or a train down and then back immediately after the show. Either way, it was money I know I should be spending better elsewhere.

Which dictionary do you keep by your side to peruse while engaging in conversations on the interwebs?
Is it Merriam-Webster, Webster's New World Dictionary, or American Heritage, or perhaps, none of the above?
I ask because I'm trying to improve my conversational vocabulary by using words that no one else does, in an effort to display my superiority and omniscience to everyone who wishes to engage me in dialogue.

big words are your friend huh?
Funny, I was going to say exactly the same thing to you. Why would you disregard everything he said only to tell him to keep his thoughs to himself -- it added NOTHING to the content of his post? I thought he had good questions, and that is what I responded to. I didnt tell him to keep it to himself. And if you really wanna know, you came off kinda rude -- but that's just my opinion.
My verbage was wrong I guess. At 2:45 the buy button was readily available. When I hit it I was told the tickets were not available because I had purchased MSG tickets. I should have clarified this from the beginning. If I did not have MSG tickets they would have been easily purchased at that time. The blurb about not being able to be purchase was in red, very similiar to if you tried to purchase another set of tickets for a show that you already had them for. I'm not bullshitting as I am sure I'm not the only person with MSG tickets who attempted to purchase Newark tickets prior to 3:00 and saw the same message.
I guess so too.
