same thing happened to us with metrotix for fox theater st. louis. it was awful. we finally got a hold of them and the only tix they had left was for NC and that sold out while talking to them.

have a question, phish.com shows that alpine valley tix are 50 dollars. when you go to ticketmaster website lawn seats are now up to 91 dollars. how are they able to do that? we want to get our tickets for alpine tomorrow (if we can...) but that is now SO MUCH MONEY. i don't understand how they can jack the prices up that high.

Fuck livenation, fuck the internet, fuck the Nikon Theater at Jones Beach, and fuck anyone who got hooked up. I was logged in right at 10 o'clock, and kicked off, delayed, and turned down for two straight hours.

Utter bullshit.

alpine tickets werent on sale thru ticketmaster, so it redirects you to the ticket-now thing, right? thats basically an online re-selling service, so people can rip you off left and right. booo-hisssss.

livenation was brutal. Like, anal rape brutal. You've got to be diligent. Not giving up is key.

I didn't want to give up, but I was/am at work, so two hours grace was all I could get.

Fuck it, I'm still going.

yeah, it took me two hours of getting so close to having them, then getting that internal error message, again and again and again...but FINALLY i got them! i had my husband make an account so it would be super quick and that did seem to help when trying to order them.

congrats to everyone who got tickets!

same thing happened to me as per #3 about 100 times. i also had me and boy calling on three phones at once and got through to a real live person who was able to get me tickets for jones beach friday...

despite the fact that i grew up like, 10 minutes from Jones Beach, it seems i'll be listening to those two shows from the lot, as i didn't even TRY to get tix for em'... i figured the demand on those two 14,000 seaters would be way higher than the demand on camden... and it took me 2 freakin' hours to get the camden lawn seats i got! sorry, only got what i needed, otherwise - you know me, i'd definitely trade/help out. best of luck!

now, i you just wanna giiiiive me your extra.... :)

if my friend flakes out and doesnt end up wanting to go...youre the first ill call..

if youll really be in the lot it might be a good time to catch up. ill be there thursday night too if i haven't managed to finagle a trade by then.

that's awesome!
mail order was the way to go....we NEVER lost out on a show!

at least you get to see them...they are coming here and tix were gone in 10 sec flat......
and I was 4th in line at one tixmaster.
