I hope you'll take this advice about the presale (UPDATED READ PLEASE)

[Bono]

I know, but what stops a scalper from contacting you?

I know what you're trying to do, but first you list a lot of rules and then you say you'll give out the password to people...


Oh well, seems like the scalpers can get the password anyway.



/jarmo

he's only talking about not giveing out the 9:00am presale password Jarmo. I would hope that if I wasn't able to secure tickets durring the 9:00am presale someone would share the 11:00am password with me. I think what Mr. Intensity is trying to do here is very legit. We just want real fans going to this thing.?

[Mr.Intensity]

Yeah,

I mean I hope everyone posts here by 9:30 am that they got tickets and I don't even need to be online at 10:40 am for the 2nd presale.

That would be the best situation, the only intention behind giving out the 11am pass is to help the gunners who had no luck during the 9am presale.

[Howard2k]

Good luck to everyone tomorrow

Hopefully we all strike it rich.

[Mr.Intensity]

Hey guys,

Just thought I'd let you know to sign into ticketmaster tonight and creat an account with all your billing information. It will speed up the checkout process tommorow for you to get tickets. So you can get right back in and buy tickets for the 2nd day as well when you are done purchasing for the 15th show.

I just made my account.

  No kidding. I would hate to get there and be stuck next to some kid that only knows WTTJ and Paradise City while one of us is at home listening to our old CDs

did that this morning!

For the rest of the evening hang tight.... any password issues pm me if you must.

[Mr.Intensity]

Guys, I also have a new idea....

If any of you know the site that has been posting the password, tommorow morning around 8:30 am we should claim the password has been changed and post various fake passwords on these sites as to throw the ticket brokers off.

That would be hilarious.

Here's my question:

Instead of a pre-sale password, why not have a pre-sale pop quiz.  Perhaps it's logistically impossible, but if you really wanted a concert for devoted fans, make them answer a multiple choice question like, what was GNR's first single:

a) Welcome to the Jungle
b) It's So Easy
c) Paradise City
d) Sweet Child O' Mine

Or something like that...  If it were possible, it would cut down on casual fans and brokers from getting as many tickets as they do...  Also, could somebody please explain to me what the difference between a broker and a scalper?  I'm have a hard time seeing one.

Cheers,

Andrew

I guess by definition they are the same thing....but I would break it down by saying a scalper is a guy that buys a few pairs and sells them on ebay, message boards, in front of the venue...etc.

A brokerage is more like one of the multi-million dollar businesses like "ticketsnow.com" who will have people working, and even computer programs working as fast as possible to buy up as many sets of tickets possible. They will then re-sell them for usually about 5x the amount of the initial purchase.

I have gotten lots of AMAZING seats off of ebay for under face value closer to a show, only time I ever contacted brokerages or scalpers was for the VR club tour date in Toronto. I ended up paying about $90 per ticket, which isn't bad....unless you consider that retail was like $25.

1)If you have obtained a password do not give it out.

6)If you do not have a password please pm Pilferk, Darknemus, Hannahat, or myself for the 11am presale password.

You're not following your own rules.

Oh, and since I said everybody who's giving out the password will be banned, what should I do with you?


Ping!

[The Estranged MrFlashbax]

i'm confused... so i can't buy a pre-sale ticket (1's all i need) from ticketmaster w/out a certain password? damn.. i guess its my own fault for not keeping in touch with htgth the past week.. i've been on this board at least 2 to 3 yrs now and the 1 week i dont read up on the board, i miss my chance to get gnr tickets..  ugh! im gonna go beat myself silly now 

[Mr.Intensity]

Hey guys,

I am here as promised. Please get a hold of me if for some reason you are having password issues and you recieved the pre pre sale email. All others I talked to via pm please feel free to contact me whenever as well. Plans are still on to help more guns n roses fans get the 11am password.

30 minutes until we all get tickets.

[Crashdiet]
