Just talked to the Toyota Center
There are 15 seats left after giving away 25000 tickets.

spadilly wrote:i was able to find a pair of tickets via a contact i have at toyota center (i used to work up there).-they are etickets that he emailed me. no box office printed tickets available
-there is no name on the tickets, as well as nothing about bringing a amex card with you.
-in the price section of the ticket, it has a code that (i believe) refers to "building comped" tickets
-doors at 7:00, show at 8:00
-the original email has nothing about the tickets being linked to a name or amex number

hoping i will be able to get in with these. we'll see. worst case is i will just carry an id and cash on me and plead my case if they need me to swipe an amex card.
before i was able to find these i had planned on heading down there dressed up and standing outside the doors and seeing if anyone had an extra....thats probably the best advice i could give anyone wanting to get in.

i would be hesitant of buying any off of craigslist unless you agree to not pay until you are inside. with it being etickets, nothing stops these sellers from printing 20 copies of each ticket and selling all of them individually.

hope this answers some questions....we'll know all of this for sure tomorrow night....
Funny...when I talked to the Toyota center, he said there was no way he could send me the code, because only AmEx knew it AND THEY DID NOT!
I love being lied to :evil: :evil: :evil:

that's probably correct. it wasnt him that had the code. he gave me tickets that he was given.
select staff probably received them from amex. (i didnt ask)

out of three contacts i have up there, only one was able to find me tickets. the other two both said they could not even find tickets.

i asked him this morning and he didn't have any more. only reason i got them was because he wasn't able to make the show.

i would imagine there may be a few people who could not use both tickets that it may be worth trying to head down outside TC and see if you can get in that way.

best of luck!

That's not a bad idea. Had I driven in to town to the office today instead of working from home, I might would have tried this. :D Enjoy the show! Be sure to come back and give us a report. :wink: :D

Just got in. I'm seriously the only one dressed up here.
They didn't ask for a name or swipe Amex cards.

Free food and nonalcoholic bevs tonight.

It's going to be a completely different type of show. All super rich folks I don't belong in the company of!
