if you guys end up starting threads over the next 3 months about how you can't make it and asking if you can transfer the tickets to someone else.......you should be banned from new york state for the rest of your lives

i'm not bitter as i got tickets to both shows, but i really feel for my fellow new yorkers who got shut out today. having to pay over face for a show in your hometown sucks.

    as a NYer who was indeed shut out twice, I am in full support of your plan.

    you no more deserve to go to MSG than any other fan club member

    a fact is a fact

    Well, I got tickets to both NY shows, and to be honest I don't feel too bad about the NY'ers that got shut out. You still have a second chance - give it another go.
    I would rather tell my boss to go and shite rather than miss this trip to NY :)

    perspective, brah, no need to get on my case.

    and everyone should be able to go anywhere, but when you're buying tickets if you're not sure you can make it, that's a problem, don't you think?

    Oh nooo... Why do New Yorkers think their state is so great??? It's cool and all but you guys act like we should feel priveleged to live in the same country that New York is in... You can keep your state and it's arrogant citizens. In Detroit if we don't like you we just kill you.

    Is there some sort of test to determine if someone is a true enough New Yorker to deserve tickets to MSG?

    this was the best (and most sad) post I've read this week.

    if the "cornfed shmuck" bought tickets, they've probably bought them because of the hype you (insert choice words here) have been building it up to be!

    Come out to the Gorge, to Alpine, or to plenty of other places that are just as great as the shows you've seen.

    if you wait for the signal to change to "walk" before you cross the street, you shouldn't be allowed to go.

    i understand why no one really gets it. I really do. And I agree that everyone should get to go to whatever show they choose. But you, and others just have to TRY to understand just how shitty it feels to be a NYer and be shut out of both NY shows while some fella from whereverthefuck easily scored tix to both shows. Its sucks and I'm pissed and thats all.

    I'm sorry, but that's fucking pathetic. How do you know what MSG means to people outside of NY? People hear about how good the shows are, and if they want to go, they can go. It's not a NY only show.

    And who says they'll have to pay over face value going through TM. The TM prices won't be that much more expensive.

    I don't think anyone easily scored tickets ... at all.

    true, but there's still the regular ticketmaster sale, there's still chances of 10c members with extra tickets as the show gets closer, and you could always attempt to be "that guy" who's travelling to see a show... except you'd travel away from nyc

    i've been to many shows outside of NY so i don't agree with this thread (even though i missed out on MSG2) but MSG DOES mean more to NYers than non NYers. we go to games and concerts there ALL the time. we've seen the rangers win a cup there, we've seen LJ's 3 point play there, etc. MSG is our arena and pearl jam loves to play it. so when they come around and miss out it sucks. i understand that anyone can go and love that people want to come and enjoy the show here with us. but to say that it doesn't mean more to a lot of us is just wrong. half these people are going on heresy alone. they've never even been to the garden how can it mean something to them?

    guess what? there will be about 35,000 tickets that will go on sale if they want to see a show in their beloved New York City. Maybe their arrogance has messed up their ability to comprehend that this was a presale, and you can still get damn good tickets through Ticketmaster.

    Oh... So because a hockey team that wins the Stanley Cup every 50 years or so plays there that makes it special???
