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

So, just because I have a different opinion and have queried the epistemological origins of this thread, I am called out for trolling? Debate the point and not the person, my friend

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.

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.

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 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.

SatanRules,
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.

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.

I call bullshit on being able to place them in your cart at 2:45. The software works where you're NOT able to place them in your cart if you're restricted... not that you're not able to purchase them. Good story though.

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 don't understand what you mean by writing "I guess so too" but if if you don't belive me...well it happened. No reason to just make it up.

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.

What about people who live where PJ never comes? They might be always out of luck. Better to limit 10c tickets to one set per annoucnement.

i wanted to see what would happen if i clicked buy even though i already had MSG tickets and i did the exact same thing you did. i was able to click buy but right afterwards it said that the product was restricted.

you weren't able to actually put it in the cart but you were able to click buy and that's as far as it got.

my dear(s), why mock me for my use of the English language? Debate my arguments and not my personality - after all, we are interacting online and you do not need to suffer me in person.

Why bother attacking me personally when we could enjoy the anonymity of an online discussion without letting personal character assassinations get in our way? Regardless, I wish you well.
