Myself and three buddies tried to get seats this morning, took off work and were left with nothing. For 80bucks we werent gonna settle for the 400 sections. I am a ten club member and couldn't even get any tickets threw the presale(s). guess its gonna be ebay for 100+ a pop

    Yeah, but you chose "no seats." I agree it sucks you couldn't get tix through 10club, but at this point you shoulda been happy to take what was avail. & just to be in the building. Sorry to burst your bubble, but if you're too good for the section 400 seats, I'm pretty sure you're gonna be paying quite a bit more than 100 bucks a pop on Ebay.

    I too am a 10c member who didn't get anything in the pre-sales and got 300s for MSG 1 and 400s for MSG 2 today and I'm stoked! What matters is being there, the experience. Not everyone can be at the front! Being there in the nosebleeds beats missing out any day of the week. That place is going to go off and the crowd is going to go nuts! It's not going to matter where you are... end of...

    BTW, if you're not going to be there, how come your tag indicates otherwise? *is confused* Someone pm'd me saying I could have 2 MSG tix in the 100s for $400! Yeah, right, whatever. Maybe you could take them...

    I didn't know they have lawns in MSG.

    some of the best parts of the show is watching the crowd.....

    i've got 10c night one and sec. 338 night two.

    admission to both is all that counts.

    so you chose not be at the concert instead?
    I would have taken that, then try to upgrade on eBay since you would have been able to sell your 400's for face in like 1 second if you found later the right pair of seats...

    definately a very bad call!!

    You took off work and when offered a seat, you turned it down? Goodness me. Times like these I wish this band were still playing clubs. Impossible to please fanbase. They must be so proud. If you get your ticket up front, make sure you bring your PLAY LEASH sign.

    Try Chelsea Hostel. Cheap and clean. You can get a bed in a share room for $32 or a private room for $80. Both have shared bathrooms (I think). Nice and central and near all the best of downtown ;)
