Columbus, State College, Detroit, Buffalo Pre-sale Thread
-
Talk about stress ! But finally got VIP for Detroit also ! I had to keep rebooting computer.Keep trying !
-
Boy no luck today, its a bumpy ride.
-
Do they really think it's a good idea to do 4 pre-sales at the same time?
-
Clear your CACHE!!! If you don't know what that means Google it!

I got 8th row in Fl1 for Buffalo, right at the 9:00 buzzer.... sorry there was so much trouble/stress for folks today!!!
-
Do they hold some tickets back, maybe the worst seats, for the public sale on Monday? I can't even get 2 seats together for State College, PA and I tried several times.

Finally snagged Sec. 3 Row 22 for Buffalo - not perfect, but I'm in the door. Multiple presales at the same time makes it tough to access. AmEX presale coming up at 10, I like to torture myself!
Maybe it was the "4 pre-sales at once" issue...but... I haven't been on a McCartney pre-sale for years here (2010 last time). WHAT A MESS!!!!!!!!! I couldn't get on the website & kept seeing this: "An AJAX HTTP error occurred. HTTP Result Code: 503 Debugging information follows. Path: /system/ajax StatusText: Service Temporarily Unavailable ResponseText: 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable 503 Service Temporarily Unavailable nginx" OVER & OVER! And it just kept loading, OVER & OVER!!! I'd read terrible things about the official McCartney pre-sales (some of it on this very forum), but...this was just beyond the beyond. By the time I finally got in, there was nothing left except cheap & terrible seats. Tell whoever is in charge of this to CLEAN THIS MESS UP!!!!!!! This pre-sale system/situation stinks

I would not say that the McCartney.com presale is no worse or any better than presales for any high demand show. High traffic will back up on the site, which can make any such a presale frustrating. I've gotten seats to past shows through this presale a number of times, and have had to use AmEx or general sale to score for other shows as well. Its really a case of luck and patience. If you get in and get tickets in the first few minutes with these sales, you've simply been very lucky. I was for the Buffalo Show. But the patience aspect is proven with the Toronto show. I'd forgotten about the presale and didn't access it until well after noon. "All in cart." But kept at it and got a floor seat near 1PM.

Very true. Also, the # of tickets you are looking for change your odds - 4 adjacent tickets are harder to get than two or one. However, I surprised myself when I lucked out for four at the Philly fan club presale! I agree, persistence & patience are key - keep tryingafter you think you should give up!

This explains a lot of the frustrating things going on with these pre-sales: auto-dial bots buying "speculative" tickets that don't actually even exist yet! Check it out... http://buffalo.com/2015/08/31/featured/why-you-couldnt-get-mccartney-tickets-and-who-you-should-be-blaming/

Two of my best buddies are going to this show. I have a feeling that they're gonna see some Macca surprises that will out-do "Temporary Secretary."

We received our State College tickets in the mail last week... still waiting for the Toronto tickets.

You heard something or just gut feeling?
