How did you do on buying tickets?

Just curious on how people did. I was in line in Savannah, Ga for tickets to Charlotte, NC and Atlanta, Ga. I was 13th in line and the Atlanta show sold out after the first 2 people in line bought tickets and all they could get were lawn. I crossed the street to the library and got on line for Charlotte and I got 2nd row center which is great. It is only one seat though since I couldn't find anyone to go on a Thursday night. Being second row center though I couldn't care less if I'm there by myself.

5 people got tickets to the atlanta show-ticketmaster computer was SLOW spitting them out

we had friends at 3 other publix stores-all 3 were shut out-sold out by 3rd or 4th person

I overslept and logged on to get Greensboro tix a little later than I had planned but I still got in. (Whew) Straight out from the stage but high altitude. The whole tickets.com seemed friendlier and faster than TM.

Actually did pretty well through TM on-line (go figure). Got two pavillions for Atlanta (amazingly -- six minutes in), a pair of lawns for Houston & a freak great single in the pavillion. I ordinarily hate TM, but I'm feeling a bit better about them, today.

Just lucky I quess!!!!!! I was 9th in the lottery and the last to get tickets. Most places did not make it to the 3 or 4 th person in line and all of my phiends at other locations were shut out. But somehow, someway, I managed 8 lawn and 2 reserved. Can't wait until June 29th in ATLANTA!!!!!!!!!!

I woke up late too

I did get two seats in uncovered pavilion at Woodlands, but they have obstructed view.

Oh well; I'm in and can sit!

If anyone has two more Houston tickets, it could keep my sister from going to a broker.

I tried online and then when that failed I went to Kroger and got my tickets there after the lottery was over. They were of course lawn but they said that out of about 50 PH's in line only 2 got pavilion seating.
So I got late and get leftovers.

I was 12th in line at publix for the Atlanta show. Only the first 4 got tickets. I'm still searching. They were going to be my 18th B-Day tickets. Right now it looks like I'm going to be paying about $140 per ticket for the lawn. It is Buffett though so I'll probably bite the bullet.

I went to a small ticketmaster outlet, no one in line! She was actually able to purchase the tickets a couple of minutes before 10a.m. At first, she had pulled up two tickets in section 102, but it was obstructed view, so after trying again, ended up in sec. 202, row 2. I lucked out. The island gods were with me that day.

I got to the ticket outlet early, but the lottery sent me to the back of the line. Fortunately the person who got the number 1 ticket only wanted lawn seats so she gave me her number and I got 4th row tickets center for Raleigh! I'm so lucky!

I was in line at Foleys Saturday morning, for the Dallas show. They had the lottery drawing at 9:30 and I got lucky and got 4th in line. The 1st person in line got row F and the very next person got rox VV. I couldn't believe how fast it moved! I got my eight lawn tickets & I am looking forward to the tailgate party!

Had no problems getting great seats for Pavillion Dallas show but holy $#@% I was only able to get 1 seat for Atlanta but its a good one. TM is still on my #$#%list! Nice to hear somebody did well. Have faith though, it'll work out!

Phishead,
Where do you go to get your Nissan tickets?

Guest · Post by **Guest** » March 18, 2002 5:06 pm

Me and my friends camped out and got 6 lawn @ for the Nissan show...but my friends who stayed nice and toasty in their beds and attempted on-line also got more tickets than even we did...just wondering, is there anyone out there that attempted on-line and didn't get them? Seems like it was easier than usual to get on-line this year? Any theories?

Ok, here goes. Got to the TM site one hour before the sale. Got the very last spot in line. Got the last six lawns, second year in a row this has happened. My friend got me four more online. I will sell six lawns to pay for the two orchestra row M's (front and center baby!). Total out of pocket expense for two orchestra's $200. Would you pay $100 a seat to be up front? Yeah I know this upsets some of you, but hey, different strokes! Can't wait to see Jimmy from close range!!! Anyone out there want lots of lawns for pavillion? Example, six lawns for 4 pav, or 8/6, 12/8? Send a private message, we'll talk.
