Amen, Jarkko! I live in Philadelphia and simply did not have the monetary funds to do any of the Canadian / European dates. This works out for me perfectly. Accept my sincere gratitude for making this happen!

Many, many thanks to Jarkko! It's a shame that despite all his best efforts the scammers are still managing to make a killing on Ebay selling tickets at multiple times their face value while many genuine fans were unable to obtain any.

I think fingerprints was a shakeout/red herring. You had to check back at 2 for the trivia question, which was brilliant. I almost gave up when the first pw got me nowhere. Thank goodness I didn't!

Fingerprints is how I got my tickets, so it was a working password, and it was working much before 2:00

Well then I got really lucky by waiting for 2 PM because as I said, I almost gave up when fingertips didn't work. I though for sure tix were gone and that was at 1:45.

I think I was one of the lucky ones, who saw fingerprints posted before it was deleted at first. Thanks to the first poster of it! 8)

Orchestra, row DD, but unfortunately not in the middle. It's seat 21, I think.
And yes, that's me...

Although I can't afford to come to New York, it pains me to see the usual Ticketmaster horror stories going on. Have Leonard's management still not got the message that Ticketmaster is to be avoided like the plague. I didn't bother to buy front row seats for O2 in November when they were released the night before the concert - mainly because I'm not prepared to play Ticketmaster's silly games. I presume that most of the best seats for Leonard's New York show are currently £1000+ on Ticket Exchange?

unfortunately, when it comes to ticketmaster there's little if no choice at all. last week's morrissey show at the bowery ballroom in new york was sold out instantly, whatever this means. not a single person on the message board got a ticket. that's bad. this was a walk in the park. except for tickets went on sale one hour early and the password was posted on lastfm, brooklynvegan, etc. i got my tickets, but am not sure if i should be happy or angree - i'm pretty sure this isn't how it was supposed to happen.

anyway, i got my bus tickets! very excited!!! i also realise that i'd still want to see shows on this tour so it's a great start to 2009! thank you Jarkko!

Just looking at ebay... and it pisses me off so bad. Obviously, these people bought them during the pre-sale, and are now trying to sell them for $2000. That just disgusts me.

I hope people don't buy from them. I'd rather not go and see those people lose on their investment than pay that kind of money. It's sad to see that this type of thing permeates every class of artist.
