Let me know if it works for you.
Cool... thanks Big John! I'll letcha know how it worked out
Just got mine. In and out in 3 minutes flat. No trouble, no issues, easiest ticket purchase day ever. Now, next mission, get tickets to see Elton John and Billy Joel at Wrigley Field 7/16. Wish me luck.
Got my 4 lawns and I am happy. In at 10:00, pulled tickets at 10:02, and out by 10:05!
I can feel it getting warmer already (although that could be the heat I just turned up in my office...)
I hope everyone else had luck.
The ticketbaster website seemed to be quicker than years past - maybe they invested a little money they have been stealing from fans to actually improve their product somewhat.
Got my 6 on tix master
I called the 877-598-8689 at 10. She said she didn't see anything, I should try back 'in a few days.'
I called right back, she has some reserved seats availabe. But since I already had the 6, didn't get them.

Unfortunately, the agent at Livenation couldn't pull up anything up at 10:00. She revealed that Ticketmater had only alloted 10% of all available tickets to Livenation this morning. She recommended that I try Ticketmaster (really?). Once again, it's eBay for me!
I got shut out for the very first time. NOT HAPPY! I was on at 10 sharp and the "search mode" said I had a 5 minute wait....didn't take that long for the bast@rd$ to tell me "SORRY"!! Have I told you lately that I HATE TM!!
So, if anyone has some extra lawn tix you want to sell(face+fees) I will be happy to take them off of your hands!!
I am not discouraged. Just knowing Jimmy is coming means that the cold weather should pass soon and the margs will be flowin' and the flip-flops will be on, baby!!
We ended up getting 12 Lawn....... First time in lawn. Have had reserved seating prior to this. Looking forward to the Party. No problems with Ticketmaster/livenation.
If anyone has 2 extra lawn seats, I'd be grateful. First time going to Alpine and got shut out of tickets. Any help would be awesome.
2010 - Jimmy in St Louis, Frisco, Bristow
2009 - Jimmy in Frisco, Raleigh, Chicago(8/15) and Alpine Valley
2008 - Jimmy in St Louis, Jake in St Louis, Jimmy in Charlotte
For years I've been plugged into blenders and songs...

Man that sucks. Seems like every time a way is found to get tickets without hassle, TM throws
another monkeywrench into it. Sorry about that, thought I could help.
For those that did get shut out. If you are just looking for one or two tickets, do go to Alpine on the day of the show. We have always seen a few people selling tickets. Otherwise look over on the Ticketexchange.
There are still single seats on Ticketmaster. Some are close but will be obstructed as they are off to one side of the stage or the other and you are in front of the speakers. There is a walkway behind sec 101 and 103 that you can stand in and get a better view of the stage. You are very close but not in the center and yes it does cost more than $100 more than lawn.
Not too worried though...
