When I clicked through looked like the presale is for the Live Nation App :?

Tinley park has a few presales going in , including the app and the local radio station...

looks like radiohead only has tickets left for germany and spain.

From Live Nation/Ticketmaster:

IMPORTANT:

* SELECT LOCATIONS are electronic Ticketmaster Paperless Tickets ONLY. Please click here for more information on Paperless Ticketing.
* Ticketmaster Paperless Tickets are NON TRANSFERABLE.
* At ENTRY you must provide the CREDIT CARD USED TO PURCHASE AND VALID PHOTO ID.
* Entire party MUST enter the venue at the same time.



Maybe it wont be so easy for scalpers, and general onsales wont be as bad as usual.
How would that even work for a scalper, unless they were planning on going themselves, and walking in w/ the 3 people they ripped off?

Good on Radiohead for trying to put a stop to scalpers. More bands should do this.
On another note...get to the box office early. I imagine that line will be looooong!

Edit:
Ok. Maybe the box office line wont be long (i think only waste presale tix will be will call, not TM tix)
Guess I shoulda read all the shit first...

Around what time?

Goddamnit. I had class then took a test :(
Wonder if there's a Newark presale. If not, crossing my fingers for Saturday!

Supposedly for other shows on this tour Radiohead had a policy for both people in the party to put the wristband on as soon as you get your tickets to stop people from taking them and selling them after they leave the window. A pretty good policy actually. Not sure if it will be done in the US though.

i have ticketmaster for tommorrow night....the first two sections on each side are paperless....gotta show CC and ID and the entire party has to enter at the same time. if you look on stubhub, there isn't a single ticket in the GA or first few sections for sale.


edit...there is a pair on the floor for 300 each....


still, i think they do a great job of stopping hte flipping for the good seats..be nice if other bands did this

that makes sense. the middle front section are probably from the waste presale and are will call tix. the guy selling 2 - probably got 4 in the presale and plans on entering w/ his scalpees. (Assuming they didnt require you to name all four people who would be the ones attending).

I like what they are doing too. But I do think that its hard for many people to actually know exactly who they are bringing w/ them when they buy tix to a show. And even if they did, shit happens all the time. Gotta find a last minute replacement, and then what? You eat that extra ticket and go alone anyways?

Im interested to see how it all works out in terms of getting into the venue, the credit card/id hold up and the lines for entrance as well as the sorry saps who need to substitute the people they bring with them. Luckily, I had already planned on taking the day that they are playing in Mansfield off, so I'll be up there nice and early to get my tix and tailgate.

I didn't have to mention who I was taking. However if you look at my previous post, at other shows on this tour they require all members of your party to be present and to all put the wristbands on right there so that people couldn't take the tickets and wristbands and sell them in the parking lot.

How many tickets do you think were sold for these pre-sales today?

I had paperless tickets in GA and they scanned my CC at the door, printed out small tickets from their portable printer, and everyone in my party had to go to a table inside the venue (but close to the doors) to redeem the tickets for wristbands.

what were wait times like....thanks in advance.

choop

it said that the waste tickets today are all will call in the fine print. if you go to tm or live nation, it says paperless.

this is how atoms for peace was, waste got physical tickets and then the general on sale was paperless, looks like that is how this will be. roseland was will call too.

i have a friend going to the show in Colorado next week and he got his waste tickets mailed.

seems like they change it up each time. 06 was will call, 08 they mailed, atoms for peace was paperless, and this tour seems to be a combination of all three methods.

I wonder how many tickets they were alotted for the presale for each show..

i figured you would have that answer :P

how many peope do you suppose can fit on the floor.

i'd guess ~4,000 tickets for a stadium show. UC holds about 400 per lower level section. first 2 sections on each side would be ~1600. i'm guessing 50 people across by 60 rows deep on the floor??? that'd be 3K people

pure guessing

RedMosquito22

Pearl Jam gets anywhere from 12-20%. Do you thik Radiohead with a free website gets that many too? I'm not sure. Camden has around 9,000 seats under the pavillion and I think 37,000 with the lawn. So 10% would get them to around 1/3 of the pavillion and 20% would get them almost the whole pavilion.

it wasnt just floor for all the venues
for mansfield, you could choose pit, Sec 2, Sec 1 or 3, or Sec 5, 6 or 7.

Pit would be a small section in front of section 2
I was assuming, for Sec. 1 & 3, they'd only give out the more close to center seats. They wouldnt put fan club all the way to one side.

So, there are a lot of tix that could have gone.
If I had to guess, i'd say 10%-20% of each venue.
Mansfield holds about 20k total. 7k covered, 7k uncovered, rest is lawn
Im pretty sure some of my fan club tix for PJ have been as far back as mid-to back of Sec. 6 area. That section of seats is the end of the covered seating. Secs. 15, etc. are all uncovered, open air.
So, PJ gets a pretty good allotment for their fanclub.

choop

i don't think that camden is anywhere near 37,000 people. i'd say with the lawn its 18-20 tops.

edit, google says 25k
