November 10 - New York City, NY @ Madison Square Garden

[Spedgear]

they just handeled presale and all orders have been passed on to ticketmaster. I just bitch the fuck out on some indian who couldnt speak english.

Now now, let's not get all crazy over a customer service agent ,it's not their fault they work for a middleman company and that ticketmaster can't get their act together with tickets.
At worst you can thank monopolymaster for charging extraordinary fees and not a lousy flat fee for events.

Actually when I was looking for the number I ran across a bunch of legal documents regarding Ticketmaster and Tickets.com suing each other for various reasons (linking/crawling) from 2000-2003 so I am unsure now that Tickets.com is actually a middleman but possibly just another company that handles ticketing.  Either way they seem to suck regarding communication, at least with TM they let you know what is going on by e-mail and you can track orders online with your account.  Not that I agree with the ridiculous fees they charge though-

I can't believe it fucking sold out either!!!!!? I'm so excited, I'm not sure what to do with myself!? ?? I keep taking deep breaths.

WHy is msg selling out such a shock..? Anytime a band called gnr is playing the garden it'll sell out..

So who's going where for pre partying... Or at least who is pre partying? Either hit me up on a pm ir I'll back track this thread..Kind of busy the past months so... Congrats to whoever got tickets, enjoy... See you at snitch or whever the hell everyone is going.. I'll be in manhattan already working so I should be well oiled by the time I meet some of you again

? ? Yo folks,

? 2 questions and if # 1 is a "no",then # 2 doesn't matter.

? ?1.Is the GA ticket for MSG on the floor/standing room only??? (As opposed to seated)
? ?
? ?2.Does anyone have an extra GA ticket???


? ? ? ? ?I saw 'em at the Hammerstein on May 17th but,to be able to mosh on the floor of MSG would be fuckin' great!!? However,if there are just seats on the floor,I'll pass. It's standing or nothin' for GA.

? ? Thanks in advance!

It's just strange..they're giving me the 48 hour deal too and thus I wonder about their methods of madness.
The feeling of getting ripped off with their 12 per ticket service charge with no options for priority mail. I'm going to call them every 4 days to bug them and ask where my tickets are.? After all it is customer service....and they already have my money.

If i dont see it in a week, then im gunna start calling every 4 hours

I bought my tickets from tickets.com too for the chicago show. please let me know if you guys receive your tickets and what to expect. It looks like nothing but a hassle. Now I'm afraid I won't receive them and I got pretty decent seats. If anyone has a problem post it here so I know what to do if I encounter the same situation.

I ordered from Ticketmaster on their presale & I just got my ticket yesterday, if that helps anyone.

The floor at MSG are a combination of Standing Room and Seats...check the MSG concert seating map...and then take out sections 1-2-3-4..and I think that's where the GA section aka the pit will be.

Maybe with question 2.

Three days after an official press release that the show "has been sold out" and you can still find plenty of tickets for the upper and not-so-upper sections. I understand the marketing side of it, but when a band official press release sounds like an ebay seller statement and it is a clear lie, I feel a little embarrassed as a fan of this band. Or does it always work like this: You sell 70-80% of the tickets released and you have the right to claim this is a SELL OUT?

For a big arena like MSG it does work like that.  Very rarely do they actually sell every single ticket there is.  When the majority of seats are gone they consider it a "sell out".  Also ticketmaster does a thing where they will actually not sell some tickets and slowly dribble them out for sale unannounced.

I'm sure this show is nowhere near sold out. This is just hype to get people into thinking its big event and making CAA at least half full, then they will release thousands of tic kets as soon as november hits- mark my word.

Thousands of tickets are still currently availbale for MSG thru ticketmaster.
They should've stopped selling tickets after the "sold out" announcement and release the rest of the tickets a few days before the show.

I just pulled up 2 in a pretty good section in the 200's myself which I found pretty strange.  Just the other day there were only singles left in really bad sections.  The only thing I can think of is that when all was said and done and they added up the orders between TM and tickets.com and then let go all the orders that didn't go through for various reasons there were more left then they thought in the 1st place.

Even so, I think by the time the show rolls around we will be looking at a pretty full house

I hope all of you have read this on the tickets.com FAQ section:
   


U.S. Mail
Tickets are mailed to your credit card billing address and are usually received within 2 weeks of the purchase date. All orders delivered by mail should arrive at least 48 hours prior to your event. Please note: General Admission tickets that are not received / lost in mail will not be replaced. For this reason, we recommend Premium Shipping for all General Admission ticket purchases.

The part that grinds my gears is the part about their refusal to do jack shit about GA tickets if they fuck up..... WHAT THE FUCK?

OH id better get my tickets..... oh oh oh can u say must

 

[GnR-NOW]

Thats why when I order from ticketmaster I get the 3 day ups, then its puts the delivery on them to get it to you

[smithandheston]

wasent an option
