Okay my fellow PHs, I'll fill you in...

Since I was shut out of two JB shows this year within 3 seconds of going on sale , I want to share this experience with you...

I wanted to get tickets to a Virginia Beach show (not JB) and the group's website advertised that their OFFICIAL presale would take place this past Tuesday. Well, on my T1 line at work, I could not even get tickets 1 second into it. So in my anticipation for Ticketmaster's advertised "open-to-all" sale this Saturday, I checked out the Virginia Beach Pavilion's website and an unexpected POP UP advertising Clear Channel's OFFICIAL presale came on the screen and said, "Presale tickets will go on sale 10:00am April 01, 2004".

Yesterday (March 31), I just wanted to go through the motions to set up an account since I never used Clear Channel's presale// played along with the login, etc... and I scored awesome seats... the day b4 they were supposed to go on sale. I checked back this morning to see if good seats were still available and pavilion seats were 7/8 bought.

Point is: When people go to Ticketmaster.com this Saturday, people are already going to be shut out of the pavilion.

What kind of scam is this?!! This type of business practice is unethical at best and though I have not heard of JB presales, I'm sure other back door deals are being made. -What the heck is going on??!!!!

What was the web site, I have been on Clear Channel's web site and found noithing about Jimmy Buffet shows.

All I can give you in the Verizon Wireless Center, Virginia Beach website and follow the popup. It will raise some eyebrows....

Alright, this is just not right... I accessed the link I listed in my initial post from work and now that I am home, I cannot access the presale link.

No popup....

...this is not the Twilight Zone
and please don't adjust your T.Vs...

It's freaking me out!!!!

i totally agree!!!

Do you have a popup killer? If so, disable it; that may be your problem.

Only pop up I get is for Blink 182

Yep/ the presale popup is gone. I went to 'events' and it lists that tickets go on sale April 3, 2004 @10:00am... little do the 'unknowing' know that their chances to get good tickets on Saturday morning are slim to none.

...somehow I feel that this same thing happened to a lot of us to see ol' Jimmy...
