I was only able to buy 1 ticket off of ticketmaster for the Chicago 8/23 show. I was logged into ticketmaster and ready to go at 11:00 a.m. and was just looking to buy 2 tickets next to one another. Not a ridiculous request at all, or so I thought. After spending 45 minutes of trying to get 2 tickets and getting the "Sorry your request has been denied." I just entered a quantity of 1 and sure enough I was able to buy a ticket. Did anyone else have this problem?

ticketmaster should/could release more tickets at a later date....

if not...

WELCOME to the wonderful world of ebay....

or one of these guy's!

Yeah I guess so. This marks a 1st for me where I used ticketmaster and was only able to get 1 tix. I have had success for past PJam shows, TOOl, Roger Waters, Pixies. Oh well, I guess Ticket King and Ebay will be the way to get seats next to one another. Unfortunately, those prices are inflated. Anyways, I will still be rocking on 8/23 with my 1 tix.

i still say ticketmaster will/could release some more tickets......

it looks to me that they havent released any tickets next to or behind the stage(lower level behind the stage is actually a cool little view)......

and i still think they are holding tickets in the 200's and 300's..........

Here's what Ticketmaster's been doing over the past few years...they release a limited amount of tickets when the show initially goes on sale. Then people panic, thinking it's sold out, and go to a scalper site and pay a ridiculous amount of money to get tickets. Then as the show date gets closer, all the scalper tickets that didn't get bought get released by Ticketmaster and the better seats start popping up. I've gotten good seats more than once by just waiting until the date gets closer. I'm not saying it works in all situations, but this is what they're doing nowadays. I'm not going to buy a single seat when I KNOW they've got more tickets coming. United Center seating capacity is 28,000. There's no way that it sold out in 2 minutes.
