I was in at 1000 on the dot and checked an hour in and it said very few tickets left. I think we were beat before we even began on this one. Who knows, they may release some later so I'll check back every hour or so. Really wanted to go to this one with Fab4Clayton. Bummed.

I keep checking back also. I'm guessing that hall of fame members bought them all up in pre-sale yesterday and are selling them on third-party sites for profit. That and the scalpers always seem to find their easy way in the backdoor before the average buyer..

There were supposedly a limited number of tickets available in the presale--it was impossible to get 2 tickets together and it was sold out by around 2 pm. And not all members are selling theirs for profit--some of us are keeping ours.

This. Despite all the TM code words-to-fight-the-bots stuff, the scalpers still manage to work their way into these things. The good thing is that the event is not until April, so perhaps more tickets will be released, or real people who just can't use their tickets will put them up for sale at reasonable prices. Not everyone on StubHub is a scalper.
-
Can't figure out from the above post who got tickets but good on ya! Happy that somebody did.
-
Tickets going from 325.00 each - upper level on stubhub.com......watch them come down a week before when they realize they aren't going to get that price. It's a destination event so I doubt the after-market demand will bit the bait.
-
I just looked at ebay and of course there were tickets there. StickittothefansHUB has 75 left starting at $506.85. Yeah, 75 LEFT!!! In what universe is this legal??? It just makes me heartsick to know how these creeps fleece fans. It makes me even sicker that fans buy from these rotters! If people would refuse to buy tickets from them, we could put them out of business over night!

Yeah ...the free-market profit makers really have a corner for taking it to 'Beatle-related' supposed "supply and demand." I would have been fine if truly everyone logging in was a fan waiting patiently for a ticket instead of getting shut out by ticket-bots. H ell; I would have been fine on a lottery selection.

I totally understand Ringo's induction as a Beatle. Can somebody make the case why he should be in HoF, otherwise?

Just because he was a Beatle and he's still out there (no pun intended) performing and making new records.

Don't you think more deserving acts like WAR, Rush -- to name a couple -- are getting screwed?

I said earlier...from an article: "Ringo Starr was not a nominee for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame?s Class of 2015. But he?ll be an inductee - along with Green Day, Joan Jett & the Blackhearts, Lou Reed, Bill Withers, The Paul Butterfield Blues Band, Stevie Ray Vaughan & Double Trouble and The ?5? Royales - receiving the honorary Award for Musical Excellence." AND I just found out that Joe Cocker (RIP) is not in the Hall of Fame.

Rush got inducted in 2013.

Well, like the other poster said, Rush is already in and I don't really know who War is. ops:

Hi Nancy R! Have you ever seen the GEORGE LOPEZ Show? The theme song is "LOWRIDER!" If you heard the song "Lowrider," then you know who WAR is! Eric Burdon used to jam with WAR, they did a song called "Spill The Wine." "Cisco Kid" WAS A FRIEND OF MINE, guess that song?
-
Oh, okay, I know the songs! Didn't know the name of the group that did them. Now I do, thanks!

You're very welcome Nancy R! I had the feeling that you would remember who WAR is once I mentioned some of their songs to you. Take care.

I love Ringo. I think he's great. Hilarious man. He is rightfully inducted as a Beatle. But he does not deserve to be in the HoF as a solo artist. I just don't think his cover of "You're Sixteen" and his big hits "Back Off Boogaloo" and "Photograph" are enough... ...especially when acts like Stevie Ray Vaughan, MC5, Yes, Steve Miller, Joan Jett and -- on and on -- continue to be snubbed.

Good to know. I know that Rush fans were perplexed for a lot of years, waiting on those guys to get their due.

I can't and I am surprised he is getting in outside of the Beatles. IMO - a group like "Chicago" should make it before Ringo as a solo artist.
