How did Columbia go??

Post by ParrotHeadDiack »

I didnt buy any b/c i did the presale option. I did try to see what i could get at 9 exactly though, and the best i got were 2 seats in section 101. Hopefully that means many good floor seats will go to the presale people, and therefore i'll be down there. How did everyone else do getting Columbia this morning?

Can't get through, phone or online. Twice I've somehow been connected to BlueCrossBlueShield of Florida, and at least twice it started ringing, then went to a busy signal. What's up with that?

Level1, Section 228, Row 3.
Today is the tomorrow you spent yesterday worrying about. Was it worth it?

Got in right at 9:00am, Got 2 tix Section 101 Row 14.

Found Room Availability at Claussen's Inn for $130. They have 29 rooms total, so you may want to reserve quickly

Went through sciway.net, then hit hotels, bed and breakfasts.

Looks like the hotel is 12 blocks away, should be within stumbling distance. :pirate:

How did y'all get through. I can't get anything to work. I was in Columbia last night, I would have stayed there, or driven up this morning, if I knew it would be this difficult.

I think I got through on the phone, but I'm on hold. Anyone else buy over the phone? I keep getting a "please stay on the line for next available agent" message, but it doesn't identify itself as the Colonial Center.

Why do you think our tickets were in the $90's but today they were $60 dollar range. Did we pay the extra just for the presale?

I've been using multiple boxes and hitting reload over and over. Sometimes I've been offered seats, sometimes I get garbage instead. Right now I'm looking at two seats in 226 (row 1), trying to decide if I should pick them up as well as the two I already got in 118.

Row 22, Section 107, to the side of the stage. By the way, if you are a Mac user and are having trouble, use Firefox or IE instead of Safari.

I got to the Colonial Center at six this morning and was number 59 in line. I got section 201 row 4. The lower levels were gone, according to the box office, four minutes into the openning of the sale.

I wanted anywhere between section 106-117, row 29 (nearest to the beer), but I am happy in 201.

I got online right at 9. My first set of tickets came up in sec 115 and scoffed them right up. I kept checking and at about 9:20 floor right row 34 popped up grabbed those also. I've kept checking back through the morning and now at 11 lower levels are still showing behind the stage. Hope everyone got what they need.
