I got completely shut out.

The first two verifications had letters that I had to guess at....I guess I guessed wrong.....

Got in pretty quickly, pulled up a pair in Section 6, Row X (uncovered part of the pavilion). At $140 each ($126 for the ticket plus $14 for the charges), I promptly released them. I hope whoever got them enjoys them! ;)

We hit all over the place this time. Threw a bunch of lawns back, but kept a few extra in hopes of working out a Nissan trade.

the verification process sucks... if you can't read it how can you write it... i don't think it is right to show distorted letters..... it's now a crap shoot ... better off going and standing in a line..... I guessed wrong on 3 codes.... by the time i got one right it was too late

I don't understand the processing progress. Mine went like this:
Your wait time is approximately 1 minute...
Your wait time is less than 1 minute...
Your wait time is approximately 2 minutes...
Your wait time is approximately 3 minutes...
Your wait time is approximately 4 minutes...
Your wait time is approximately 5 minutes...
Your wait time is approximately 4 minutes...
Your wait time is approximately 3 minutes...
Your wait time is approximately 2 minutes...
Your wait time is less than 1 minute...
Your wait time is approximately 2 minute...
Your wait time is approximately 3 minute...
Your wait time is approximately 4 minute...
Your wait time is approximately 3 minute...
Your wait time is approximately 4 minute...
Your wait time is approximately 1 minute...
I might add that this all happened in under 2 minutes.

Then I got 'em! 4 lawn. Woohoo!!! Anybody know where to stay there?

Got 3 on the lawn. My first wait time was 6 minutes and then kept increasing all the way to 15 minutes. Then it slowly crept back down. At 10:20 the tickets finally popped up. Haven't been to a Saturday show in a few years, really looking forward to it!

I got shut out for the first time ever.....got online at 10 and mysteriously lost my place. My 2 minute wait ended up getting cancelled somehow. Tried on the phone as well with the ticketmaster express number. Got in pretty quickly, then was told to "phone @search (space) sa". Anyone have any idea what the heck that was suppose to mean. Last I checked I don't have an @ button on my phone. The show didn't sell out for another 10 minutes either. This was for the cincy show by the way. So...I got drunk and screwed on the internet and the phone. Luckily, my daughter had better luck and got some lawn seats. Plus I may have access to 8 Pavilion anyway (not a sure thing though, will find out next week). So...I will not be denied.......................

Online, I got four in the pavilion. I was in the queue (sp?) for about 15 min.
I'm happy.
