How the hell is a normal person supposed to get tickets?

Trying to go to Madison Square Garden. I lost the ten club ticket lottery, so I was subjected to ticketmaster. But that's how it goes, fair is fair.

It took me maybe 30 seconds to submit my request (and that's if I'm being slow). Tickets were all sold out by the time my wait was over. 20,000 seats were purchased before me in 30 seconds? Effing ticketmaster. Effing redistributed, effing bots. I give up.

    Try again. Same thing happened in Tampa and Miami. Tickets are starting to show for Tampa right now.
    I'll ride the wave where it takes me.

    Had the same experience, received "No tickets right now" response from the beginning. Only once, got into the waiting line. Approximate waiting time fell to 1 minute and then appeared no tickets, again.
    What's your part, who you are?

    You cannot give up. Keep trying constantly ALL DAY. Loose hope tonight not 10 min after they go on sale. I know it sucks and the odds are stacked against us but if u keep trying you will pull something. Especially a single.

    Persistance. I had to search about 200 times before I could get 2 tickets to show up for MSG1.

    I tried from multiple PCs and had 5 people trying on my behalf. Everyone was "in the queue" and no one got tickets. Some browsers stayed in the queue forever (literally still spinning).

    I did this for springsteen tickets a few months ago and on one PC I sat there in 2 browsers just waiting in the queue from 10AM (on-sale time) until 11AM. Someone else trying on my behalf started after me, got tickets, tried again, got "none available right now", tried again got more tickets, and then got the sold out message. Meanwhile I was still "in the queue".

    As if the brokerage shitshow wasnt bad enough their web application is fucked too.

    Razor Face, feel your pain. MSG 2 was my only win in the drawing. Have a friend going to his first show, if he he has to pull out...will keep you in mind. I got nada from the 'official on sale' , like you...hoping for 10C generosity at GSP, RDU and/or LEX.

    There is no way without paying big money!!! That has been my out come since pj came out and I'm a 10c member which has helped. But ticket master , stub hub ect are all connected in some way .... They screw us fans for tickets but if we did the same it would be ticket scalping for us. It just sucks cause I would always help a fan. Like I have 2 10c philly 1st night ga you would think some 10c member would want to go to both philly shows and trade 10c philly ga night 2 but I get it we all want to go with our friends,wives,lovers ect. Now to answer your question if you want to go to any of the shows just go there someone will have an extra ticket for sale at cost make sure you have it scanned to make sure it's real . At least I'm going to do that for now on I wish all the pj fans good luck ok sorry for venting Jerry
