Whether it's AEG Live or Ticketmaster who's scamming the general public, I'm going to file a complaint to the NYS Attorney General Office. You might want to wait until after the general sale. There has been one presale so far for the NY show and, shocking!, some people got shut out. I'm still not s...

That's great! They must have set aside seats for those in line because as I noted above there was little but flotsam and jetsam left by 10:30.

In this case you are simply wrong. I am all for fan presales, but as of Friday there were 6 separate presales appearing on Ticketmaster queries for this show, including 2 separate ones for American Express cardholders. As of 10:05 today, the public sale date, there were 0 tickets available to me on...

Yup, TicketBastard screws people again. How do you reckon that one? I'm no fan of TicketMaster but what most people here seem to be unable to grasp is that there are A LOT OF PEOPLE trying to get these tickets. 99% of them are not scalpers . There are only so many tickets to go around and theses sh...

Yeah one of my security words was "cheeseborough" along with another word. Longest and oddest word I've seen using TM.com.. Thankfully I got it right the first time. Web Security Words Help Digitize Old Books by Nell Greenfieldboyce All Things Considered, August 14, 2008 · People who use ...

Nothing left now except VIP packages. Front row, dead center - $549

This is disgusting American Express presale in New York for Gold Card Members was sold out at 10 AM I logged on at 10 AM and no tickets at any price. What can we do to ticketmaster? This is fraud big time. Where's the fraud? Were you guaranteed tickets? There is a limited number of tickets for each...

Love TicketPhiladelphia's "pick your own seat" option.

Looks like there is nothing left except scattered singles, most of which are obstructed view.

Are the tix on Stubhub going to be more expensive then buying through ticketmaster for general public? From what I am hearing on here, everyone got a pretty good deal (in my eyes) through ticketmaster...if you react quickly. TM is the place the tickets came from. As Patri says, TicketMaster is the ...

They don't buy or sell anything. They broker deals, they are not ticket brokers. We can argue the semantics but your post implied that StubHub was setting the prices which is not correct.

StubHub is not a broker. They are a facilitator for consumer to consumer ticket sales. For an exhorbitant fee (15% to the seller, 10% to the buyer) they mitigate the risk of selling tickets to strangers.

That's an average of about 7 tickets per show, about a quarter of one percent of the smallest venues on the tour.

Are we perhaps making a mountain out of a mole hill?

I thought that I had somehow missed a detailed listing of times to pickup the will call tickets at all the venues - guess not. Will wait patiently in the hope that a list may pop up in the future. Given the methods at play here my guess is that there will be no "pickup" pf tickets. You wi...
