    so when friday's tickets sell out in 10min and we all get shit can i come back and tell ya that this "positive thinking" stuff is BS ;)

    the scalpers win x 10

    Yes!
    My point is just that it's not worth stressing yourselves out for the next two days over being shut out for this pre-sale. There was probably a very limited number of tickets today. Friday should get you IN the building. I shall send my extra positive thoughts your way. ;)

    It seems like it's just a handful of sections that all the tickets are coming from. And they are definitely NOT the best seats behind 10C :mad:

    So really, you'll be fine on Friday. Probably will fare better than us dupes who took the 300s.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.

    I got 201, Row A for night 1 (10C for night 2). Not bad at all. Should be a good overall view, and I have 10C for the next 4 shows after that. Good deal.

  • I sat behind the stage at a Dead show at Verizon Center in Washington DC. I actually liked it - it's a different perspective seeing them from behind, but you are so close to the stage. Plus, it had the best sound of any concert I've seen at Verizon. The acoustics in that place are horrible - I've always assumed that somehow the dynamics of the sound were altered sitting behind the stage and it was great, that night at least.

    yeah no luck for me either I FUCKINGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG HATE this whole process 10c .........not happy at alllllllllllllllllllllll now i will be happy to go and spend a few hundred on tickets for a scalper ....


    10C went out of their way to TRY and accommodate lots of fans who got shut out. Sorry you missed out again, but I thought it was a REALLY cool thing of 10C/The band to do for us who missed the original 10C ticket sale.

    I dont know how i got both nights either, its so weird how it works for some and doesnt for otheres... sux though cuz both nights are awful seats.
    They just dont understand what it means to love some silly little peice of music, or some band, so much that it HURTS.

    I thought so as well. But if I see more 200 sections going on sale on Friday I'll just feel like an idiot for trusting 10c that these would be the best seats after the fanclub ones. Good luck to you jose. I am actually pretty sure a lot of great seats will come up on friday.
    ... and the will to show I will always be better than before.
  • "Throwing back tickets" when you had no intention of buying is pretty f'd up.

    Of course, these are most likely people who already have tickets and blast people on the board for whining about not being able to get tickets. Just a theory. I could be wrong :-)

    My guess is TM allocated the tickets...10C just asked for them. There may be great seats that come up on Friday.

    Right. So why would they tell us these will be the best tickets after the 10c ones?

  • Quit your bitching!! At least we live somewhere (or within a decent distance)where they are actually playing!! And you have had not 1 but 2 opportunities to get tickets before they go on sale to the public!!

    BOO HOO

    And before anyone asks, yes, I got tickets from the fan club sale with no trouble. It was a bit tricky but I was patinet and didn't spazz out and it paid off.

    Yeah, imagine how good it will feel to live somewhere where they are actually playing and not being able to be in the building. I swear some people have no empathy. And it was never a matter of patience getting tickets. Now shut up.

    because they are in the business of selling tickets and making money....PERIOD!!!!

    the same reason they announced a tour in 2006 one show at a time...

    so people would PANIC AND BUY TICKETS!!!!!

    I really really really feel for you guys. I know the feeling well.

    If that's any consolation, I don't think it's true that these seats were the best behind 10c. I got section 314, which is pretty bad. Perhaps you guys will end up with seats better than mine? :)
    I got section 313 for night one. Shut out of night two.

    I don't know man, I hope you are right, but that sounds a bit fucked up. We'll see on Friday I guess. Don't get me wrong, I am happy if all the people who got shut out again get tickets, and are better than mine, but I sure hope 10c was in good faith. I guess we'll wait a while for an apology, yeah?

    You can sit outside and hear just fine there!! And I am sure there will be a ton of folks who will be happy to tell you all about it as they exit.

  • grrrrrrrr got one single tick for night 1 in the nosebleeds blah....

    ok, I am done bitching.
    Thanks 10C for at least giving us an additional chance to get in the door.

    as far as i'm concerned anyone who threw tickets back can go fuck themselves. all that did was jam the system and fuck things up for the rest of us

    and as for telling people that didn't get in that you threw tickets back?!?...

    I am really getting the feeling that you'll score better seats for night two on Friday...but whatever happens, you may bask in the joy of being only one section away from me on night one :D. Were you buying singles? That's what bothers me... section 314 for a single :(

    No sweetheart, I'm in. But that does not prevent me from being understanding of those who are not.

  • I got sec 314 for MSG1. After today, I still don't think it'll be that hard to get tickets and still not pay through the nose, either on Friday, outside MSG, or through people who bought extras.

    I may have 1 extra for MSG1 that I'll likely be willing to sell at face to a nice 10clubber.

    There's no way my wife would be willing to see them both nights!
