Will new seats be released on Friday morning?

How does reordering the words give you the answer? I don't see that.

Well done all who are going to say I am jealous is an understatement I thought long and hard but decided logistically and financially it was not viable.

You are going to have an amazing evening but remember we in Europe kept you informed with all the details we expect you to do the same.

I know you will have a great time.

Right... So now it is definite... Before it was a choice I made not to go, now I cannot go any more even if I want to. Hydriot, comfort me, please...

Whew! I'm glad that's over!

This pressured Internet buying is not for me. I got flustered and made mistake after mistake, couldn't pick out many of those darn words...! I almost lost my tickets by inadvertently buying too many, but Barbie, the very helpful Ticketmaster agent, straightened it out for me on the phone. Persistence paid off in the end.

I have tickets, and I think I may have lucked into the VIP reception!

So, see you there, all my fellow fortunates. And may fortune smile in other ways on all of those who can't make it this time.

And Jarkko, and Marie, and whoever else helped set this up: a thousand thank yous!

Oh well, jarkko, thanks for trying! It was a really nice idea - too bad the people at ticketmaster (and their scalper friends) are profiting from it!

Jarkko and Co. did a helluva job keeping the presale password as limited as possible.
I just checked a bunch of sites that routinely post Presale Passwords and none of them have LC.
For example, check out http://presalepassword.net/presale_passwords.asp or http://presale-codes-passwords.blogspot.com. These site lists 100s of paswords. Also, word of the show was very limited and information was not posted until around 1:30pm.

Boy, that was frustrating! I guess I am just too old for this frantic process of buying tickets online!
I will try again Friday. Congratulations Anneoprter and everyone else who got tickets.

am hoping to see you in NYC!

Yeah, once the password was made clear to me, it was like "DUH." I have that CD in my car as we speak!

I was just so frenzied in trying to get tickets, that I wasn't thinking clearly. Oh, well. I figured it out before I had to quit, and could only get one ticket. I will not give up hope... hopefully Friday morning I'll have better luck.

And hoping that the rest of the US tour does not coincide with my wedding!

the Beacon Hotel is right next door. Very nice, clean, reasonable and you can leave your coat in your room and walk next door.

Tried again and again from 19.10 GMT and kept getting the same old sorry etc. Will try again on Friday. Meanwhile if anyone wants to sell 4 tickts, I will take them. I would fly from Ireland to see the concert. So if for some reason you cant make it, please contact me.
Ticketmaster is such a frustrating site.

Whoooo freakin hoooo!!!! I scored tix presale for the Beacon, one of my favorite venues in the world for one of my favorite musicians in the world!!!! I have been waiting for this show for years!!

Finally got through with the "Manhattan" password and got two tickets. Flights already booked from Ireland for the 19th. Let's hope Delta deliver on the day. Really looking forward to the concert.

Well, I have tickets!!!! Can't quite believe it. Thank you, thank you, Jarkko, for making this possible.
