:o Wow, a discussion about tickets and a comparison I made between two musical groups has grown into a criticism of fans and a down-right pi$$ing contest. The maturity level is profound! :roll: By making the suggestion and comparison about mail order, I'm not saying that it would eliminate the scalp...

One of my favorites, Widespread Panic, does their own advance mail order. This helps to ensure that at least some of their loyal fan base, not the scalpers, end up with tix. Wish more would offer that option.

I sent them a complaint informing them that I did everything that they recommend in order to avoid issues, but still encountered multiple errors. I'm sure I'll get the cut and paste corporate apology and disclaimer. Don't suppose it is worth contacting artists and informing them of the problems thei...

I tried to pick up 2 tix for Charlotte this morning. Had 2 8th row seats brought back, elected to purchase them, but it told me I had taken too long and that the tickets had been released. The thing is, I replied within under a minute (I was getting my CC out). :cry: So I search again and it brings ...

I HATE Ticketmaster!

It brings back 8th row seats and tells me that they will be held for 2 minutes and then be realeased if I don't buy them....

Thanks for the replies folks. I used to have good connections with a few other groups and have been spoiled with good seats and passes to their shows. Just wish that was the case with JB.I'll probably get online at home. If it doesn't work out then I'll be shelling out $ to a scalper.... BUFFETT OR ...

Hoping to be there. Hate that the tailgating factor is what it is. We can all find a place to make our own party though.

Any tips on getting good tix?

Planning on buying tix for the Charlotte show. Any tips on getting good tickets for the show? It's been a while since I've had the extreme pleasure of going through good ole TicketMaster. Is it best to buy online, call in or actually go to a TicketMaster window/agent/store? Is there any actual hopes...
