Charlottesville / Columbia Pre-Sale Thread

I've been locked out by TM too. 24 h is a long time.

Seriously I couldn't have thrown back tickets more than 5 or 6 times before I got locked out. Am I the only one who doesn't take the first ticket offered? Luckily a friend got me a great ticket, but this is frustrating and annoying at the very least.

it's very frustrating. and yes, I throw back tickets all the time. But I was only locked out once, and it was a few years ago. So I think TM locks out based on how *fast* you refresh, not the number of times. I will usually stop and wait for 60 seconds every now and then while I am hunting for tickets. I think the system also is more likely to lock you out if you start looking for tickets a minute or two before they are actually loaded in the system, and do a lot of rapid refreshes then.

Was guilty of all that the other day during the vip presale, however I took my good old time this time around and it still locked me after a few times. I really hate ticket master. Haven't had any sort of luck with it in the past 2 years, however luckily for me, a friend of mine is able to get in and she's managed to get some amazing tickets these past few years. And without paying a premium.

Thanks but my friend 'saved the day' for me and I managed to get a nice ticket.

so has anyone received their tickets from the pre-sale yet? I bought them a month ago and i'm getting a little worried. yes I know they're not sent out until 14 days before the event but that seems to be cutting it close. and there's no customer service # to call if they don't show, just an email that can be easily ignored. i'd have them instantly had there been a print at home option but oddly there wasn't. yes I complain about TM myself but I really wish i'd waited until they went on sale to the general public and used them instead. the pre-sale didn't get me better seats, didn't save me money and now here I am really starting to sweat. can someone reassure me i'm ok?

I assume you bought them from crowdsurge? You will be ok. They always send them last minute. And anytime I've used them they have answered my emails. But I wouldn't worry.

yes crowdsurge. the first, last and only time i'll use them. i'm not really cool with "last minute". after all, they didn't wait last minute to take my money

I do agree. TM has it's advantages sometimes

When I called Ticketmaster a "real live person" answered and found me a fairly good ticket

TICKETS ARE HERE!!

My Columbia tickets came today and it looks like I am going to have at least 1, maybe 2 extra tickets, both are excellent seats! One in lower level 113 right next to stage, row 6! The other ticket I may have to sell, is on the floor Row 9! Someone that was going may have to back out. So, I wanted to go ahead and put it out here also to see if anyone is interested! These are amazing seats and I will be at the show also. So, send me a message or email me at dvernon61@yahoo.com. Thanks!
