There was some mention of a special DAVID LYNCH ROOM RATE at a few hotels when I printed out the app for the Benifit Package(that I didnt get ) three hotels were mentioned specifically at around 160 or 15o a night if you mentioned the benefit.THAT LINK IS GONE .Does anyone remember or copy down the names of the three hotels?????
I only know of two hotels: Omni Berkshire - rate $150 - sold out on March 4th. NY Marriott East Side - $129 - had rooms on March 4th, but I would imagine that is not true today.
-
REMINDER- i have that hotel room reserved only a block or so from RCMH.i cannot go,so if anyone wants this room please pm me ASAP,so i can give you the details BEFORE i cut it loose! thanks! bill

With the benefit concert at Radio City for the DAVID LYNCH FOUNDATION and the mission to bring meditation into schools around the world, you may want to watch the first 8-minutes (free) of the movie, SCHOOL OF THOUGHT, which stars David Lynch (Twin Peaks, The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet), Donovan (Mellow Yellow and Sunshine Superman), MOBY and John Hagelin (What the Bleep Do We Know!?). This documentary showcases the many reasons all these music superstars are getting together in NYC this April 4th. The film dives deep into the MAHARISHI SCHOOL OF THE AGE OF ENLIGHTENMENT in Fairfield, Iowa where they hold an annual David Lynch Weekend, and all the students are required to meditate twice a day! There's also an in-depth look into an inner city school in Washington D.C. - The Ideal Academy - that adopted TM several years ago and has eliminated violence and life-threatening stress on campus.

I was on the phone at the exact time and phone. Phone had a fast busy (usually means off the hook)for 30 minutes nothing there, online said no ticket available from the moment of trying so not even a serch for a second. So I guess just overload. I gave up since there didn't apprear to be even a glimmer of hope. Got through on the phone hour later but they said it was a mad house, and nothing left or would be anything later. Since Ticket Master started having a second site reselling tickets for higher price. I don't see how there any motivation to sell cheap tickets to the public. For all of you who got them have a ball.
really!!I so happy for you.
Really!!
Dang Appletart~
ops: it's a difficult thing to get tickets thru ticket master- just like Paul at the Hard Rock Cafe...you could barely get thru....
hey I could of paid the 350 yesterday for the one ticket just wasn't in the budget. I think my two kids would hope mom would help them out on their bills instead.
Glad you got yours and got to make the neverlands guys year. Nice!

We have 2 extra seats Orchestra 7, row T, seats 707-708 that we will sell for face value to a board member-$495.85 total. Two of us were trying and both managed to get tickets, so we have extras. PM me if you are interested.
-
Thanks for the info on the hotel specials. Just called and the Marriott still has rooms under the $129/night event rate, in case anyone else is interested.

"... another source told us the show sold out within a minute of going on sale... " Wow!
In another post about the on-line process to the Las Vegas The Joint Show I explained what goes on here. The TicketMaster servers are huge and can handle many thousands of transactions at one time. With the rumoured 1500 seat remaining after the pre-sales yesterday, as the option opened all of those tickets would be reserved into potential sales and the "no tickets available page" will be shown. As those sales progress, many will fail - problems with the verification, problems with the credit card, problems with an anxious buyer simply messing up and "time out"ing, some many esp.in the case of yesterday being turned down as too expensive seats. Those seats are returned into the pool of available tickets. and will be offered to the next suitable applicant. The motto with all on-line sales of this nature is "Keep Trying" Even at this late stage it's worth a speculative punt at trying to buy as tickets will still get returned to the available pool. Remember that TicketMaster intend to verify that buyers are not trying to work round the household ticket limit between now and the 19th March by using multiple credit cards and e-mail accounts. If they do find such those tickets will be returned to the available seats pool even now. Martin

Mod Post Just a technical thing here - worth posting into this hot topic. Some of you have not set your Profile to allow the use of Smiley's and Quotes and your posts do not display correctly. If this is you, and you were puzzled by that, this is what you do: Open your Profile by clicking the link in the menu to the left of every page. Scroll down to the preferences section and click yes on the following options: Always allow BBCode: Yes No Always enable Smilies: Yes No Then scroll down further to the bottom and click the "Submit" button And you'll soon be quoting and Smileying with the best of them
I have corrected several posts here already so the thread is easier to follow but if you can do that it'll save us having to do so for you. Martin

Maybe if they took their time instead, there wouldn't be so many MISTAKES!

Ticketmaster and Live Nation are just like crooks and they top it off with all of their handling charges.

I got the code too, but it didn't help. I tried again since 11:00 today, but it kept coming up no tickets on sale, not in any price range or number.
Ticketbastards.
:
Ticketbastards? You're kidding, right? Paul McCartney and Ringo Starr.... the last two surviving members of the Beatles... are both appearing at a concert, in a venue that holds about 6,000 people. An event of historic proportions... Demand outstripped supply, probably of a ratio of 100,000 to 1. But you're going to blame Ticketmaster, because you didn't get a ticket? Yeah, that makes total sense! (It's like blaming 7-Eleven, because your lottery ticket didn't win the jackpot.)
I see your point, but I stand by what I said. Ticketmaster has earned universal wrath for many reasons. Perhaps it is not their fault that tickets sold out so fast, but the system is nevertheless flawed. That said, I have no viable solution to offer. The fact that scalpers have such easy access to tickets, and that Ticketmaster now effectively has its own scalping site, likely contributed greatly to the lack of tickets for fans who actually want to see Paul and Ringo at fair prices (and not just resell their tickets
: ). No one I know would buy a lottery ticket just to resell it. In that sense, the lottery is a fairer game to play. As I said, I have no good way to weed out the scalpers. But as you might have guessed, they disgust me even more than Ticketmaster. Another reason I dislike Ticketmaster and the like is the not-so-small matter of "convenience charges" from Ticketmaster and Live Nation. How much were they this time?
: At least that is one thing I will not have to deal with. And here comes my biggest peeve of all...if Ticketmaster and Live Nation do merge, as has been rumored recently, there will be a monopoly. Yes, there will still be other places (Ebay, scalping sites) where tickets can be purchased, but not for their face value...there would only be one site where that is possible if the merger goes through, which means they could do as they please, and ticket prices (face values) may go up. I will keep checking back as Martin suggested, because I know tickets are often held back for companies who then do not use them, or because people were caught trying to exceed ticket limits or had incorrect billing information, etc. But I do not really expect many to turn up. But the important thing is to have fun, so... To all of you who were successful in getting tickets, congratulations! Go forth and party like you never have before.

I dunno Silly Love Songs... I was on the phone and the net at 8:58am straight up 9am I clicked,... the verfication code thing- is what trips you up lotts times.. they should use strict enforcement on this...also, re-vamp the verification code..thihng...
I agree. The first one I got (at exactly 11:00) I couldn't read, so I used the audio version and it is sooo slow. In fact, that might have been the problem for me. By the time I got different words, all tickets were gone.
Getting tickets can be stressful sometimes.
But then, I'm pretty sure I'm certifiable. Pay no attention to the crazy person typing this...
