It took me 21 tries to get 5 seats together in the Minneapolis presale.
I hope it is easier for Alpine last year when I got 22nd row in the Pavillion on the first try.

FYI- A little quirk in ticketmaster that I found. The first time I sent my request in I received tickets far back in 202 in Chicago. I kept trying and eventually was able to get 2 seats in mid 105 much better seats. Granted it was for only 2 tickets but still a little quirk. At 12:50 there were still sets of 2 tickets available in the back pavilion.

Ditto - Dirty Rotten Scoundrels ( TM )

After having 6 lawn seats the order crashed while processing Credit Card.

I got thru later on the phone to hear sorry its Sold Freakin OUT.

You should preregister with Ticketmaster so you don't need to enter all that information within the time limit.

And better seats will come up if people have rejected them or as credit cards get denied so it always is worthwhile to keep checking!

2 things.

1. My info was saved, I updated it last night and checked it this morning. DId not matter.

2. I just checked my order history and it was not there. I am so p***. I have to have one of my friends check.

I do not understand how they cannot give people numbers like they do in line (i.e.I was there 121st, so when ticketmaster screws up, I can go back and reprocess it.)

Seems simple enough to me.

My wife wants to take on ticketmaster, I told hjer if Pearl Jam could not so it, I sure can't.

Tickets now web site has GREAT seats. And it only costs 1 arm. No leg.

If I can't get tickets for the show, I'll not buy anything Buffett this year. No C D'S, No shirts, No cheeseburger in paradise. If I can't get tickets, Jimmy & co wno't get my $$.

I called and was told my tickets were voided because to many people tried at once. Sounds completely fair. Both people I spoke with knew I was calling about right away. THey said they got tons of calls. They offered me pavilion seats since they voided my lawn seats. I probably should have taken them, but my tickets were covered and these would have been for friends. I then asked about my friend's tickets and they said his were ordered, even though he thought otherwise.

WHile I am happy I am definetly going, I would like it if Ticketmaster would improve their system. WHen you tell me my tickets were cancelled because of too many people at once, please do not make it up to me by asking me to pay twice as much for tickets that may very well be obstructed.

The same error message at the credit card processing part of the transaction happened to me too. Boy was I p***. This also happened to my friend and his wife dialed TM until around 1:00 when she finally got through. They recovered his tickets and mine. Moral of this story, call TM if you got the error message when the credit card was processing, they have your info. They told her they were having internet problems and this was not supposed to happen.

Of course I'll believe it when my six lawn seats at Nissan are in my hands, but she gave them my name over the phone and he told her they had it and she just had to confirm my home address.

Call TM. Call them nonstop. Harrass them. Complain, write letters. The squeeky wheel gets the grease. My friend's wife will drink for free in my presence for quite some time. Good luck PH's.

I got my ticket on the second try - Third row in the pavilion area. Guess I totally lucked out. Sorry guys..................I don't even usually buy through ticketbastards..........Can't wait for July 3rd!

4 of us trying and everyone struck out for Nissan. I just don't get it - how do all those tickets go so fast and how do scalpers get them when phans can't. I'm still Countin' on a Miracle.

I, too, got the "processing" message, followed by the "there was a problem processing your order" message for Nissan tickets. Well, after sitting there trying again and again with no luck, I decided to check my online bank site, and within about half an hour, a charge showed up for the price of the tickets. Before I went ballistic, I thought I better check the "View Order History" link on the Ticketmaster web site. In the list of prior ticket purchases, I didn't see a record of this purchase, but decided to go to the bottom of that page and do a search. It asked for my phone number, credit card number, and state that the event was ocurring in. I entered these, and lo and behold, there was my ticket order with the seats I had selected! So, the moral is, if you have an account with Ticketmaster, do a search on your account and double check that your purchase didn't go through. This very same thing happened to me a couple weeks ago buying Charlotte tickets, and I wound up with four tickets instead of two because I assumed the first attempt didn't work.

Thanks for the info....... I did the search thing on my Ticketmaster account and my order was there! I wonder why it hasn't been moved into my order history though.........

Thanks for the tip. I looked and I have four more tickets. I thought I only had two singles in the pavillion. Looks like I may have a couple singles for Nissan that are extra. I'll post them on the exchange if I do.

If You pre regester, You have a quicker go of buying tickets. Try that. Just try to remember that Jimmy has thousands of phans who are trying to get tickets all at the same time. NOt to menthion thousands of scalpers trying to screw us at the same time!!

Went to Krogers on Saturday - Cincy was sold out in 5 min. so stayed to get tickets for Columbus. Was the second in line and still was only able to get tickets on the second level in section 230. The printed ticket price on the ticket is $78.00 then there is the additional fee of $6.60 which makes a single ticket costing $84.60 so the total of 2 should be $169.20 The total price on my receipt that I signed for was $132.30 I love a good deal and was wondering if anyone else ran across this or could explain why the total was less then it should have been.

That damn error. We got shut out of 6 tix twice, had to settle for 5 and are very happy to have that. I could go off for a few pages on how evil Ticketbastard is, but you already know...
