    Anyone who got msg tickets from the Presale not behind the stage?  Seems like all the Presale tickets were behind the stage.
    Side of the stage here, section 214. I selected Top Seats tab on the right and just grabbed the first. Didn't want to risk losing any.

    I was under 700 and when I first saw tickets there were still a few out in the normal ticket areas...and lots in fucked-up-land (behind or behind/side stage) but that leads me to believe they may have had a few thousand for sale out in the normal areas.  I was not quick enough to get ones in the normal area so logged out to let others get the fucked-up-land tickets.

    What a fucking joke Ticketmaster is. Hey here’s a special code for a Fan verified presale where we offere the best seats in the house which is level 400 directly behind the stage. Enjoy. 
    They never said it was the best seats in the house.

    I don’t need tickets but wanted to see how the process worked. Some observations (used mobile):

    1. Couldn’t find a best available filter. It was either “All Tickets” or “Top Seats”. Top Seats did not appear to work like Best Avail, I have no idea what it did actually.
    2. Map and scrolling through sections are the choices. I tooled around for awhile trying to pick the best section. When I went to basket the good tickets, I got the “Sorry! Another fan has already purchased these.”
    3. Next I just basketed whatever the first choice was. I believe the timer was 3 mins to purchase. I canceled out.
    4. Somehow I kicked myself out of the ticket selection screen. I had to go back in the queue. I’ve been stuck at “1 person in front of you” for maybe 5-8 min.
    5. I was 2k plus in the queue and all of the tickets avail in MSG when I get in were behind the bowl.

    Hope this helps someone for tomorrow. Best strategy is basket something quickly and purchase ASAP.
    "1. Couldn’t find a best available filter. It was either “All Tickets” or “Top Seats”.

    This is EXACTLY what I was fearing. Ticketmaster appears to have changed their ticket-buying interface for high-demand events and thus have eliminated a "Best Available" option through which the system automatically pulls and baskets tickets for the buyer.

    Now we are left with this ridiculous shitshow as fans attempt to try and pull and basket tickets from a seating map that constantly updates availability, resulting in     “Sorry! Another fan has already purchased these.” error messages...GARBAGE!

    Got shut out again. Had 1 ticket in the cart and then got an error message and it’s stuck and that ticket appears gone.

    Never using the app again.  TM totally left me spinning so got in with computer but too late. I think I have one for MSG via a friend. Hopefully see you at MSG!
    Thank you fellow 10 clubber for saving my ass....again!!!

    Best seats in the house went largely to 10c's lottery.

    well this isn't pretty. If you're in the queue watching your little stick-man race to TO....temper your enthusiasm!


    To gauge how fast tickets are going there, I was in at 10:10, and there were tickets in all of the 300s, 110-117, and 105. All were solid blue.

    MSG is only singles behind the stage at this point...
    I think it was only behind the stage when I made it in about 10:15
    THAT is your fan presale.  Only behind the stage tix.

    Well played TM, well played.
    There were seats in 114 and the adjacent section on Stone's side but it kept saying "someone beat you to that seat".  Those were almost right on the side of the stage.  I'll take 8 ros behind Mike and Matt.  Fine with me! :0)

    Don't rule out a 2nd MSG date getting added on Tuesday, March 31st. It's feasible with 2 days between 3/30 MSG and 4/2 Nashville.

    What’s the point of getting a special code of the code is for the worst seats in the house. If the public on sale for msg tomorrow has seats in front of the stage I’m going to absolute lose it

    My Verified Fan presale strategy is to never rely on Ticketmaster.

    Got into the queue right away at 896 for MSG. After clicking on tickets, entering presale code, and entered login info, I got nothing but this for 25 minutes....

    There were a few singles way back in front of the stage, but could not get one.  All 415 no singles only. MSG
    EDIT sold out.

    I wanted them! :0)  Wait till ya see what's there tomorrow you'll wish you were behind the stage.  Which are great seats if you like watching the drummer and the rest of the arena.   Great experience from my own experience!

    I believe there is an NIT tournament game scheduled for Tuesday night. If there is another NYC show, it would be someplace else. Making it all the more doubtful unless some sort of club show like they did during Avocado.

    I got into MSG picked tickets and got the someone has beaten you to these tickets message and then a new message of "We are unable to complete your request on this device"  WTF I was only using one browser. so frustrating.

    They still showed some seats together directly across from the stage, all of the way at the top...but they were taken when I clicked.  If you didn't see them they probably were in someone else's cart who did not intend to buy and was just on there shopping out of curiosity and then threw them back.  :lol:

    Here is what they need to do to help fix some of this:

    On the queue page, state how many tix you want and allow you to select best available.  Once your turn comes up, it should put those in your cart and let you look around.  If you want to chance going for others, go for it.  If not, you have 2 in your cart for xx minutes.
