Question about Ticketmaster

I ordered tickets and went the cheapo route and had them mailed ($0.00).
Is that a bad Idea? When might they arive? It says no later then 48 hours before the show so does that mean mid April or shoul I expect them sooner?
Thanks,

Having them mailed is what I always do -- It saves a few of my dollars going into their lousy pocket.

I've never had a problem getting them mailed. If you look at the ticketnow web site, they have very few Jimmy tickets. Maybe most of us will get some good seats. It is not foolproof, but I'll take my chances. without giving my $$$ to a scalper.

I've also had tickets mailed to me several times with absolutely no problem and they have always arrived long before the concert. Recently Ticketmaster has started sending emails telling you that your tickets have been printed, and then again when they are mailed.
Just be sure to check your mail carefully since the envelope in no way indicates that it is tickets from ticketmaster.

I've never waited any more than 2 or 3 weeks and usually it's even sooner than that... Mailing them is the best option.. Don't give those b*stards any more money than you have to...

I know of one person that had a problem not getting the tickets. They called ticketmaster. They were waiting at will call. Save your receipt/confirimation number!

Be advised! For your safety, the envelope will be unmarked. It won't say "Ticketmaster" anywhere, so no one will be compelled to steal it. However, the lack of markings make it look like junk mail. Don't throw anything away unopened!

I have always had my tixs mailed with no problem until last year. They either never came in the mail or Mom acecidently threw them out. I was a nervous wreck.
But with my confirmation number ticketbastard was able to give me new tickets right before the concert......

I also have them mailed and never had a problem.
Word of warning about ticketfast where they e-mail them and you print them out on your on computer.
1) It is virtually impossible to sell them. Mind you I am not a scalper, just had extra tickets. It is too easy for people to print multiple copies, only the first person through the gate gets in. I offered for the person buying them to walk in with me and pay once we were inside, no go. I ate the tickets so that I wouldn't miss the beginning of the show.
2) If the show is cancelled, you get your money for the tickets back but not the $2.50 for the ticketfast.
