Bought 2 tickets for the Incubus UK tour without a problem.....except I checked the venue and I could have got much better seats for less money if I booked direct.

I agree. We did get our Eric Clapton tickets last weekend, but at 10 am all that were popping up were 3rd upper deck nosebleeds. I'm cool with it, cause at least I'm seeing Clapton. My friend was pretty pissed off and didn't take the upper deck seats. The one thing I can't figure is at 10am he got in and all that were showing were nosebleeds and scattered one persons on the floor. Does this mean at 10am on the dot Scalpers already had ahpld of the majority of the tix or did it just sell out so fast cause people were online buying like 10 tickets at a time? cause, there was no ticket limit? But yeah, some of those new codes are hard to read, and it takes two or three tries to get a word I can read, the good thing is that like someone above said, they are not case sensative... YET

With everything online these days, a real high demand show can sell out literally in seconds cause there can be tens of thousands of computers trying all at once. You might think you're in at 10 on the dot, but you might be 15 seconds late with your refresh and thats enough to make a difference.

Almost makes you wax nostalgic for the days of waiting in line and on the phone.

you can still do that. ticketmaster locations are alotted more tickets than the computer. it can be "sold out" on the comp at 10:05, but you can still get tickets at 10:15 at an outlet. the venue itself gets the most tickets and can have tickets for at least an hour.
