SCREWED BY TICKETMASTER!!!!!!! again

Post by Bucs_fan »

We had 4 of us on computers this morning, and two of us were also calling on the phone, and I was the only one to actually get tickets for Camden to come up on the computer. Then, during processing, the screen kept refreshing, and then after about 4 minutes (and I didn't hit a single key), I was told my order expired. The show sold out in about 6 to 7 minutes. UNREAL.
Now we have 8 of us who desperately want to be there, and not one single ticket. Anyone who may have gotten lucky with getting any extras to the Camden show, PLEASE keep us in mind.
Looks like another year of dealing with some EBAY scumbag!

At 10:05 am the ticketmaster computer was saying the Camden show was sold out. So frustrating....

Me too. Two of us were able to get in, but both of us got kick out of the system while trying to process the order. Funny, the site says you have two minutes to process your order, but we both were kicked out in under 30 seconds. Sorry, had to rant. :evil:

TELL ME HOW THE HELL THAT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Post by Bucs_fan »

and someone has to explane to me how in the hell when I did have my tics on the screen, that the best available were LAWN seats! We had a plan that we would each only enter two tics, so that we might get lucky with the pavilion. There are four couples going, and we figured we'd tailgate together, then split up for the show if our seats were in different areas. Anyway, the tics that I DIDNT EVEN GET came up as LAWN seats. 2 Lawn were the best available at 10:00 & 10 seconds am this morning. TELL ME HOW THE HELL THAT IS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!

Read the fine print on the screen... "Tickets may not be available in all price levels and sections"... :x

I tried the same thing...

I got in quick as well....then got the error message....tried again....and got BETTER seats then the first time (a little further back, but more towards center)....that time things went through.

They are still showing tickets available though.

keep the faith...I had some "fail" in the past (springsteen and Bubba) only to find out later that order did in fact go thru...
