I emailed the 10C, told them my frustration of not knowing about the list until it was too late...
I just don't get them some times, why hide shit like this, they know it will piss people off...
Why do you think they hid anything from you?
The list got too big to annouce it... end of story.

These 'unofficial' waiting lists have been around before... and mentioned on the board. They're not hiding anything.. just not advertising it. Now maybe because of all this moaning, they won't do that anymore...
good, I hope they don't do it any more... put the tickets back in the goods section!
I hope they play unemployable at the vic! i hope shania comes out!
i'd like to see how many chicago people actually got tix, is TouringFans website still around? i couldn't find it.... just curious. maybe just more chicago people are being vocal, but it seems like no one local got tix..

This waiting list thing is mind boggling to me. I didn't complain about the original sale and kept trying the link and now find that if I had complained I might get tickets?
Answer me this? Should not every person on the board complain or flood 10c with email next time?
I'm happy for the people who are now scoring these tickets but whereas the original sale was fair but disappointing the waiting list in in my opinion just downright ridiculous.
My thoughts exactly. The last thing I thought to do was complain to the 10C because I am always thankful for what they do - even though I was one of those who did not get an icon until they were sold out. It seems like if you bitched, you got lucky in some cases. bad message to send out in my opinion. Although I am happy for the true persistent fans that got a 2nd chance.

That's why I asked if the waiting list people that got tix were local? I hope they'd sell the extra tix to locals on the waiting list.

U think that the two pairs of tickets that went to folks on the list would have been yours if they randomly put them in the goods section?

i just went to the goods section and the vic tickets are there....sold out...at least i finally saw what the icon looked like. now that woulda been something.

Speaking of that, any ideas on why they continue to list the tickets in the goods section. Is it just to terrorize all the unlucky chicagoans like me.

like us...like US! we must stick together lukeduke, the no show-locals... maybe we can make that a shirt and hang out at the venue and collect spare change.

I am with you...I can't believe I am actually considering taking a day off work just to sit in front of a venue for a show I have no tickets for and no conceivable way of obtaining them...except a miracle
You just never know when the BUY button may appear, ask the Europeans.
I kind of figured that, but now I am afraid to leave my computer. Needless to say my boss will be a lot happier after thursday, then I won't be glued to the computer screen

Thanks for the encouragement, I have been following your quest over the last couple days. I am glad that you finally succeeded, perhaps someone will bestow a bit of generosity on me by the time Thursday rolls around!

i tried that for the HOB Plant show.. it was a good time hanging out with people and having beers inside the restaurant until the doors open and reality smacks you in the face. it was a long walk of shame home....did hear soundcheck though but HOB is easy for that because you can get into the restaurant.

I'm gonna bump this thread in hopes of good news for some!!!
Do not get your hopes up tooooo high I email 10C earlier today to see the chances of more tickets for folks on the waiting list they said "very slim" the tickets yesterday came from folks who could not go and cancelled their orders.

well, i'm hoping for the same today, plus anyone who did not make the deadline for today from yesterday. i know, i'm dreaming.

It's funny, I swear they said no cancellations.
Essentially, they're doing transfers, but without members having to even deal with each other.
exactly. who gives a fuck that they said no cancellations. I sure am hoping for another.
I don't have a problem with every single available spot being taken up by 10c fans. I hope it happens, honestly.
I just think precedence means a lot, and each time one of these things happen, they don't follow through on their threats/promises, which leads to more bitching in the future.
It was merely an observation.
I'm still interested in buying a ticket. I just looked at airfair, and I thought I could do this.
I didn't know where to post this, and I thought another thread would be excessive Sorry, if this is a bonafide hijacking.
However, to whoever goes I hope you have a WonDERful time!
