If you kept quiet and chose not to broadcast the password then maybe some of the folks who landed tickets would still be able to attend.

Don't know what's worse ...to never have these tickets or ..have them and then lose them to corporate greed.

Easy Pennee...only a very small handful of users here had the password and got through. I was one of the lucky ones and I'm glad I had a shot at it. Hopefully it won't be the last...

I agree, I was watching here yesterday, by the time the password was said, there were only single seats left, I wasn't planning on buying, but curiosity led me to see what seats were there.

On second thought, maybe Pennee was suggesting a casual browser saw the password after the fact and tipped off the ticket agency? Maybe, but I doubt it. More likely they just noticed the out of state addresses and/or did a check against who they sent the password to. All I can do is give it a shot and see what happens. Maybe it's just my pirate blood.

I was told it's tomorrow. I could be wrong. I got my people working on it. What do I know.

I took a shot last night and called NEXT to complain. I've talked my way into some strange places. The lady(Angela) was very nice but said that my name didn't match any of the eligible lists and I should contact the Tweeter people to correct it if I was indeed left off the list. It's like my dad says: "Things that are too good to be true - aren't!"

I got the "error, not on sale" message at 9:00 and 9:06am today (thu)

Yeah, but you need a season ticket account # & associated zip code to complete the transaction. Which I don't have.

and a limit of 8 seats for season ticket holders is pretty sweet...I thought it would have been less, this explains why things sold out so quick last weekend, I think there was a lot of hold back

I did just try. The sale pages that require the password work based off your seasons ticket number and zip code. As such, there is no place to put in your addy for the mail. Season tix holders only. The non pass word shows are interesting. Some times it is returning no such show, other times it just says the server is busy. Their server definately has slowed down noticably from last nite til now. Just got through with the non pass word page, same dealy. It needs your season pass number to order. : ( As such, I can imagine that any orders placed through here with out a valid number will get the same messages that were sent out yesterday. : (

UPDATE - the server is now running fast again, but still you need the season pass info

I got thru, but it's pointless 'cause you need a season tix holder # and coresponding zip code, and the tix will be mailed to the season tix holder address on file, no changes. Looks like they covered their bases (

for the pun). The dropdown for seat locations did not list turf as an available area, you can buy up to 8, and decent field box seats keep coming up, interesting...

mikestar · Post by **mikestar** » May 13, 2004 9:18 am

And here I am w/8 tix together on the screen not able to complete the order!

webster3w · Post by **webster3w** » May 13, 2004 9:19 am

i feel ya mikestar. I have about 16 tix between all my browsers, but I can't do anything with any of em.

SuperTrooper · Post by **SuperTrooper** » May 13, 2004 9:20 am

Gee, sections 11-12. They certainly didn't hold primo seats for season ticket holders. I'd be ticked off to sit way back there. Of course, at the moment I'm not sitting anywhere!

parrothead338 · Post by **parrothead338** » May 13, 2004 9:21 am

I had 2 seats in row 3 of the FIELD BOX and couldnt get them

Sigh...I HAD box 19 row C for a minute there.....

So many tickets available... such a lack of an account number to book them too. It's almost like taunting me! NA, NA, NA NA NA!!! What's worse? Not getting tickets or seeing them in front of you and not being able to grab them?

webster3w · Post by **webster3w** » May 13, 2004 9:24 am

wouldn't you love to be the rich guys who don't care about buffett who have all the actual field seats? I have yet to see a post anywhere from any fan who has an actual field seat. Not a field box, but a field seat on the grass. As such, the seats they have for the seasons tix holders aren't that bad, considering all things.
