    Same. Has anyone hit refresh on this to see what happens?

    I guess the main thing that's bothering me and many others isn't the general on sale, it's the presales, both had TM involved. Basically, if you lucked out, you got 6 tix, 2 10c tix and 4 TM verified fan tix before today's general public on-sale, just doesn't seem right.

    i'm guessing that the Baltimore message of the tickets sale countdown to Jan 31st is their way of saying currently sold out? wtf, i had that "tickets will be available, sit tight message" for 20 mins!! So angry with the way tickets and presale codes were handled for this. bullshit.

    I can’t believe I wasted an entire hour just to have the opportunity to not buy tickets.

    System is broke. Some folks got 2 lottery tix and 4 verified fan tix where as other club members where shut out of the show completelty. 
    Nobody seems to understand how f'ed up this is. those same people probably got greedy and got more tix today during the general on sale, while others got zero! Unreal! 
    I really do feel for people who didn't get tickets, but this line of thinking is so strange to me. Do we have an algorithm for who deserves how many tickets?
    I think you know what the algorithm is.
    (Time in 10C) x -(ability to read) + (number of threads created to complain) ?

    Well I wasted like 25 minutes of my life. I hit refresh, it sent me to a validation thing, then after that a screen that says sale will begin Friday Jan 31 10am. This is for Baltimore by the way. 

    Is it too much to ask to just have a screen come up that’s says no more tickets instead of wasting even more of our time?

    When are we throwing in the towel?
    It's over. It is showing this. Whatever that means.

    The Sale Will Begin on Fri, Jan 31 @ 10:00 am EST

    Truly not attempting to be a prick - but that is absolutely not f'ed up.. it's capitalism & has nothing to do with greed.  That or folks who truly are attempting to get multiple tickets to bring family/friends.
    LOL. Might want to reread that sentence...
    I did - and I know what I typed.  I don't find it greedy folks who are attempting to buy additional tickets for family/friends "greedy"(if you can get 6-8 tickets to bring loved ones... LUCKY!) nor do I find folks who are buying them to resell on the secondary market "greedy".  Perhaps prick-ish, yes - not greedy at all.
    or you can come to terms and realize
    you're the only one who can forgive yourself oh yeah...
    makes much more sense to live in the present tense...

    We've all been in situations where it was difficult to score a ticket to a show. But for this, I've struck out at all three opportunities. I'm not giving up, I'll try the fan exchange and see if anyone has a spare they can sell me closer to the date, but overall the experience has been extremely demoralizing.

    Do I get something for going out on a limb and refreshing saving everyone else’s time?
