Exact same thing for me. At 9:02, tix were NA.

What I was surprised at was I got the usual "your wait time is 2 minutes" then it went up to 3 mins, 5 mins., etc. up to 15 min. That I expected. But then it went down quickly and I got "through" in the original 2 minutes. That seemed unusual for TM!

TM wasn't even giving me the option of selecting number of tickets wanted until 9:06, then I couldn't even get 1 or 2!! I went on the Tweeter Center web site link to TM and for some reason I was able to get just one ticket there, but no more. Something happened this morning..

WE had the same problem I was trying for four and nothing two minutes went to none at exactly 9am...weird....My fiance did get 4 how i have no idea. The only show we were not shut out was Mohegan why because it cost an arm and leg..Sucks we are going to miss out on Gwoods and now half of our crew can't come to JB!!!

I started with 2 browsers, trying for a pair on one and a single on the other. Couldn't get a pair but wound up with 4 singles.

It worked for me last week......I got pavillion seats for 3 shows in one day. They get put in people's ques, so to speak, and when they don't purchase them, they get thrown back in the pot. It was almost an hour after they went on sale that I got 2 pavillion for alpine.

Just my $.02. Good luck everyone!

We usually have luck with ticketmaster. FOr GWOods we had 10 sepearate people trying and we got shut out...THat has never happened! We usually always get tickets at least 2-3 of us get through and nothing..weird...Never saw anything quite like this Jones BEach show though....weird....Do they have some fan club there?

I got through and got 2 on-line at around 9:07, I was getting sold out until then, and couldn't get through again, I don't even know where the seats are, I just hit "submit" and prayed until it went through.

I didn't even think of trying the phone. :-?
Three computers going...I was able to get a pair and three singles.

And that was only after multiple "not available"s

stinks

I tried for 2 at all price levels on 3 computers - kept saying N/A. I did manage to get 2 singles, so I can't complain.
