Honestly as much as I am loathe to say this, the reason this got all fucked is because they didn't use Ticketmaster from the start. Those ticketweb people just didn't have the infrastructure to handle it. Between the five fucking people I had online trying for tickets, someone should have gotten through.
Admitedly the demand is huge but spread across nine shows, there is no reason it should have been that bad.
I had tickets up to the final billing page several times and so did my friends,
that was just a fucked up experience, because that podunk little ticket company couldn't do what ticketmaster can do.
And I fucking hate ticketmaster, I worked at an outlet once, I have firsthand experience.
I just hope they announce this new onsale date soon so people can plan around it.

according to the Orange Peel:
Tickets will be sold through ticketmaster within the next day or two.
They will not go on sale before 6 pm eastern Monday.
The sale will be announced 4 hours prior to when they become available.
And I hate to say it too, but you're right. Tickets with this kind of demand need ticketmaster so the sites don't blow up or whatever happened. With smaller groups and such I like the ticketweb technique.
And you're trying to buy SP tickets, FUCKING STOP IT. Finally someone worthwhile comes to North Carolina and you fucking foreigners (according to the orange peel ranging all the way from new zealand and rome) are fucking it up for the rest of us! The orange peel holds UNDER 950 people. I'm seriously fucking pissed off about this.
hey, i sat 5th row for Pj on the VFC at the ashville civic center. tix were still on sale that day!, so maybe you rednecks need to buy more tix
I live 7 hours away and I'm so going to this if I can get tickets. We should meet up if our night coincide. I think it is dumb that people from other countries are gonna fly out for this, but whatever. Good luck to us both.

Damn, if you use the term "fucking foreigners" in regards to concert tix, I can only imagine how harsh you get when you refer to other minority groups in other regards!

Is someone going to be kind enough to post here when we get some info on when the tickts are going back on sale? I will/would but I'm usually a 'last to know' type person. It would be nice if all of us here got tickets and got to meet up or whatever.
If you want to tell people the truth, make them laugh, otherwise they'll kill you.

Sure will. I'm not leaving this house until the announcement is made. You'll have at least 4 hours from 6:00pm (eastern) to know so don't get too wound up.
Tickets go on sale at 7pm this evening via ticketmaster.
Good luck guys, if we are successful, we will have to meet up and have a drink in Asheville... (assuming we are going to the same shows)

Super delux: It's different because the Smashing Pumpkins' ticket demand right now is unreal. That PJ gig had huge demand but it's nothing compared to thousands upon thousands of people scraping for a venue like this.
then you didnt know how bad the demand was for the Astoria show... i know 2 or 3 guys on this forum alone who paid over $600 for a single ticket.. . now thats demand!!!!
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
would be cool to have a meet up, what shows are you guys trying to get?
My priority show is June 30th, and then July 2nd as well if I can get it.

good deal, I'm gonna try for 2 nights, I'm pretty sure the first couple shows are close to selling out anyway, we are better off trying for shows towards then end of their run, listening to Gish as I type this and getting PUMPED!

Phew! Got the 30th, I was going to try for other dates but since there was such a high demand, I decided to not be too greedy and give others a chance. I'm sooo excited now!!!

This is going to be great, between me and my friends we have 4 for each night, we are going to have to rotate who goes which nights, cause there are more than 4 of us, but I am super excited about this.
The best part is that since I am always designated ticketmaster guy whenever we do something like this, and the tickets are in my name, I get to go no matter what

Yep, you feel better knowing your name is on the ticket, too.
