Ticketmaster and BBB

[teamchemistry09]

Im planning on getting my tickets from ticketmaster. What time do they start giving them out online Saturday? When should I get on? Do I have to pay with a credit card? Any info or advice would be appreciated

[fanaticfan]

You had better be sitting at your pc with fingers ready at 7:00 am sharp. Yes, you must pay with a credit card and you can print your tickets. Good luck! I will be right there with you trying to get decent tickets.

Ticketmaster emails the tickets to you. So no rush on printing, lol. But, you do need to be online by at least 6:45, I'll be on by 6:30 though. You can get 4 tickets per credit card. So keep that in mind as well.

[teamchemistry09]

Thanks for the help guys

[Cat Country]

Thanks for the help guys

The only charge is a service fee correct? No actual ticket price

[matt colvin]

yes, and the service fee is quite small.

[WildcatRick]

The only charge is a service fee correct? No actual ticket price

$2.00 for four tickets.

[teamchemistry09]

$2.00 for four tickets.

2 for 4 or 2 dollars a piece?

[WildcatRick]

2 for 4 or 2 dollars a piece?

NOT each. 2 dollars per order of 4 tickets. Just $2 total.

[iloveallmypets]

So if I don't have a printer and I get lucky and through, does that mean I can't get the tickets, or can I pick them up at ticketmaster? I am new at this, so I need a little advice here. Thanks.

[Cory]

you can have them mailed to you, and I may be wrong about this part, but I think you can also get them at the Will Call the day of Madness.

[Radiated]

Time to camp out on ticketmaster.

Allnighter.

[CatfanShan]

Per the ukathletics website..."Tickets are free again this year. When ordering tickets online, there is a $1.25 service fee per ticket, and an overall processing fee of $2.80 per order (total of $7.80 for four tickets ordered online). There is a limit of four tickets per person. Duplicate orders will automatically be cancelled."

I'll be on there too, trying my luck. Usually stand in line, but I've been on vacation and could not line up until tomorrow morning early...so, we'll try this way this year.

[Jazz]

so im up and ive been up for a while i just hope we get good tickets ( good as in at least the lower half of the upper section

[DenCat]

I am right there with you. As soon I get them ordered, I'm out the door headed to Commonwelath.

[MrsBigBlue75]

Accidental double post.

[MrsBigBlue75]

BB75 and I are both up and ready to order our tickets. Hoping we get some good seats.

[matt colvin]

I'm up now, lol

[teamchemistry09]

Good mornin lol Im on ticketmaster getting ready to click on big blue madness or whatever it says about kentucky basketball. Right at 7 just click on it or do I need to do somethin else?

[EricBigNally]

reporting for duty...yeah I've been up since 6. Getting ready for a little tailgating action with some guys I went to college with. Once I get finished trying to get some tickets its off towards beautiful Commonewealth Stadium!

[catfan043]

Whoa C-A-T-S CATS CATS CATS

[teamchemistry09]

Someone tell me what to do ive never got tickets online before!

[Littlemeyer]

So I'm not alone in this, eh? :big_grin:

Got ticketmaster open in another tab and my "refresh" finger is going through it's pre-refresh stretching routine. Gotta stay in shape. :thumbup:

[Blue Heaven]

Hopefullly I'll get some on line. I got a tab open and I'll keep hittin' refresh.

[Littlemeyer]

Someone tell me what to do ive never got tickets online before!

Go here! (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/16003F38013F7B85?artistid=838134&majorcatid=10004&minorcatid=7)

It might be a good idea to go ahead and register before 7:00 am too. You should have time. (You may not have to, though. Not sure.)

[KWICD]

Help me. I am very sick to keep doing this.

[matt colvin]

That's right Littlemeyer....keep refreshing that bad boy like there's no tomorrow. That's all you can do. Keep your card right next to ya, and fill out the info asap. The quicker you do, the better your seats. Now I have to hit refresh!

[teamchemistry09]

So just hit refresh at 7 until they move up into event instead of "on sale soon" and I should be good?

[KWICD]

I am very sick to keep doing this.

Yeah, me too.

Did they sell out in 4 minutes?

[BOURBON TOWN CAT FAN]

This is frustrating, I refreshed right at 7am requested the tickets and ticketmaster says there are none available.

[crazzedcats22]

no way it's sold out, this is crap!!!!

[Littlemeyer]

Doesn't seem to be any tickets available. Bummer.

[teamchemistry09]

at least im not the only one gettin it I though I was doin somethin wrong

[KWICD]

we have been had!

[Catligula]

"There were no tickets available that matched your request"


Anybody else getting this??????????


yeah me too, what the hell??

[crazzedcats22]

this is complete b.s some people out of town can't camp out so we get screwed!!!

[BOURBON TOWN CAT FAN]

I've tried 10 times now and the same result.

[EricBigNally]

how is it that it went straight from not being for sale to not having any there in a matter of about 3 seconds...?

[Blue Heaven]

It's a Conspiracy!

[matt colvin]

what it the world, others are saying it's not working, what is wrong with this! :eek:
\
It ain't sold out already. It can't be

[crs]

ticketmaster is a wonderful company...they seem so organized

[Catligula]

no way its sold out yet...maybe the ticketmaster site is just freakin out due to the number of people "refreshing"

[catlovercardhater]

no WAY they sold out already

[UK Chic]

Yeah, me too.

Did they sell out in 4 minutes?


I have been hitting it since before 7am. At 7:01am, it told me sold out. WTH????

[matt colvin]

and of course customer service ain't working!

I'm about to get redneck! lol

[BOURBON TOWN CAT FAN]

I wonder how the tickets are distributed. Do they go by the number of line numbers that they gave out then sell what is left. So if they had enough people in line (4 each) that would distribute all of the tickets, they wouldn't have any on ticketmaster.

[SamKat]

I waited 35 minutes, got on the ordering sight and tried for four tickets first lower arena- none available. I switched to two tickets, lower arena, None available. I swithced to one ticket "best available"- none available. I tried each combination, typed the correct word presented and got NONE, zero, nada tickets. All this order trying was done in five minutes. This was impossible!

[crazzedcats22]

this is not cool.....however is at fault (UK or ticketmaster) is really pissing me off!!!

[Dwight Schrute]

this is complete b.s some people out of town can't camp out so we get screwed!!!

I agree. I don't have all night to camp around to get tickets. This happened a few years ago also.

[Doug Hardin]

Maybe WildcatRick bought 24,000 tickets?

[bump63]

yes tried the same thing--none available

[EricBigNally]

I have been hitting it since before 7am. At 7:01am, it told me sold out. WTH????

thats better than I got. it kept giving me the page that was saying they werent for sale yet...then at 7:04 they were sold out. literally one second it was not on sale and the next it was sold out

[Littlemeyer]

Same here, Samkat. Guess all of the tickets went to the campers this year. :shrug1:

[uklumpy]

I'm in the same boat, SamKat. Frustrating and yet another reason to dislike the monopoly that is Ticketmaster. Think about it, we are frustrated we couldn't get free tickets (except for the $6 service charge per):)

[bump63]

Same here, Samkat. Guess all of the tickets went to the campers this year. :shrug1:

wow that would mean over 6,000 campers right?

[Blue Heaven]

I think Willie Williams smoked all the tickets!

[Jazz]

im getting the same thing this is stupid

[fanaticfan]

I find it hard to believe that not a person that I know got tickets online, I was right there with you sam, no tickets available at 7:00 on the dot!

[EricBigNally]

heck i did best available from the first try and never got any

[Blue Heaven]

Oh well. It's just a practice. I'll get a good view of it on TV I suppose.

[crs]

i wanna go back to sleep...but dont know when the tickets, or if, they will be online

[matt colvin]

i tried to call em they aren't open!

what's going on?

Who do I call at ukathletics?????

[Catligula]

I just want to go back to sleep. come on ticketmaster.

[SamKat]

I tried UKAthletics.com, but it referred to ticketmaster.com.

[KWICD]

has anyone actually gotten them online?

[catlovercardhater]

I just want to go back to sleep. come on ticketmaster.

ditto

[matt colvin]

NO....I've gotten numerous calls, and they haven't either

has anyone actually gotten them online?



WHO do I call at uk?

[CATHEAD]

Same story here. Man, I really wanted those tickets this year.

[Wildcatstyle]

I tried BEST AVAILABLE at 7;00 on the dot, and nothing.

[crazzedcats22]

NO....I've gotten numerous calls, and they haven't either





WHO do I call at uk?

UK ticket office I would assume....
UK Athletic Ticket Office
Room A-113, Joe Craft Center
338 Lexington Avenue
Lexington, KY 40506-0604
1-800-928-2287
(859) 257-1818

[Dwight Schrute]

NO....I've gotten numerous calls, and they haven't either





WHO do I call at uk?

859-257-1818 is the number I called...it was busy.

[UK Chic]

Same here, Sam.
When the boy got up at 5:30 this am, I was happy b/c he got me motivated to stay awake to order my tickets. No tickets and now Brady is running around the house like it is 9am. Ugh.....

[benny17]

Wait until this afternoon and half of the tickets will be on ebay for sale. Thats what makes me mad. People that want to go can't get tickets and half the people that will get tickets are just doing it do make money.

[wildcat537]

this is bs....i never had this problem when we had tubby

[matt colvin]

shoot they're not open either!

[Jazz]

has any one been able to get ticket anyone if so im blaming them

[bump63]

Same here, Samkat. Guess all of the tickets went to the campers this year. :shrug1:

Some went to the resellers too-- already on ebay for $100.00

[Dwight Schrute]

This is bull*$@^

[teamchemistry09]

Anyone want to join me? We were on here at 630 waitin for 7 to roll around hitting the refresh button. The tickets sold out from the time we clicked refresh to the time we clicked on the event? DOubtful. Ticketmaster owes an explanation and Im callin them when they open.

[lribookend]

======================================

I agree. The system is broken. Apparently there were not any tickets really available on ticketmaster. I think it is time to change the distribution system. Keep a few hundred select tickets for those who can and want to wait in line for days at the ticket window. But have a lottery system in place that allows everyone a real chance for tickets. Winners would be automatically notified via email, and would have one week to call, email, or come in person to pick up their tickets at the ticket window. Any tickets not claimed by 5:00 pm Friday night would be added to the "pool" of tickets available to those who stand in line for the Saturday morning distribution. The current system sucks. I had a relative change the time of the wedding rehearsal on October 12 so I could get back to Lexington in time for Big Blue Madness. Guess he can change it back, I 'll just record it like everyone else. Geesh

[DenCat]

I missed too. Oh well, on to Commonwealth.

[Doug Hardin]

I'm with you.

[brooke8225]

I'm with you too on this. I've ordered on ticketmaster the past 4 years and got tickets everytime and this year im screwed out of them. My mom even went to kroger and was the only one in line!!! Ticketmaster you officially SUCK

[matt colvin]

I don't people, I'm goin to memorial though in a vain attempt to get some tickets. I just want to get my head in the door, that's all :icon_mrgreen:

[benny17]

Are there in web cams outside to see how many people are standing in line?

[jkeller]

I just joined this board, due in a large part so I could say "ticketmaster, you suck!"

[ukfanman]

same story here

[Catligula]

not 6,000

[ukfanman]

Beyond SUCKS

[bump63]

I just joined this board, due in a large part so I could say "ticketmaster, you suck!"

well--im not as mad at ticketmaster as i am at ebay--tickets all over the place there already.

[CatfanShan]

Some went to the resellers too-- already on ebay for $100.00

They were listed on Ebay before they even went onsale? Do people get them before or just put them on there assuming they're getting some?

[jkeller]

Ticketmaster is evil! So is ebay. I wanted to send a message to the people already selling their tickets for $400, saying, "you should be arrested for this"

Isn't it illegal to sell something at so much times the face value?

[84Cat]

I give up

[lribookend]

I'd like an answer, also. What I'd REALLY like to know is exactly how the ticket distribution is designed.....how many tickets are available, how many are "reserved" for coaches, friends, family, recruits, media; how many are truly available to those who wait in line, how many are truly available "on-line" - supposedly - etc, etc. How can they sell all the Ticketmaster tickets in less than 10 seconds??? Something smells very rotten. I said it already on another thread, what we need is a lottery system that allows everyone a fair chance for tickets. Reserve some prime tickets for those who wait in line, but put most of them up for grabs for the rest of us. If we don't get them through the lottery system the week before, we can decide if we want to wait in line at Memorial for those tickets. The current system is broken and needs to be fixed.

[Jazz]

let be confidnet itll start working some time and if it doesnt im really mad

[jkeller]

Lotteries are very rarely fair, LOL. During student lotteries its usually the people that just waltz in a few minutes before they close the doors that get the good seats. And the people who have stood in line for a while that get the crappy upper arena seats.

[Ky Man]

Put me in line for the "disappointed" fans who really wanted to be at this event to. Its a shame that this is happening...I have been up since 4 o'clock this morning to try to get some tickets for BBM and now this....something has to be done, this is just not fair...both my son and me were on ticketmasters at 7 am on the dot. Now...will have to try to get some off ebay so some creep wanting to make money on tickets can grab his greedy paw on real fans money.I am so pi**ed.....

[Doug Hardin]

Ticketmaster is evil! So is ebay. I wanted to send a message to the people already selling their tickets for $400, saying, "you should be arrested for this"

Isn't it illegal to sell something at so much times the face value?

It's against the law in Kentucky, but not in some states, to resale tickets above face value. It would be too much of a hassle to track down IP numbers and find out who's a Kentucky resident and who isn't just to get someone on a misdemeanor scalping charge.

About the only time you see the statute enforced is when the scalpers try to do this outside the stadium/arena and get arrested.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I didn't make myself very clear. I meant an INTERNET lottery where each person who had a valid account with the UK ticket office could submit ONE request for tickets. The computer would randomly choose the winners and send them a notification email of the seat locations, and how they could claim their tickets within the following week. Unclaimed tickets would be added to the pool for those in line at Memorial. How would that be unfair?

[bump63]

They were listed on Ebay before they even went onsale? Do people get them before or just put them on there assuming they're getting some?

Someone in line with vouchers must have put them up for sale.
The current bid is $227.00 for 4 tickets in the lower level.
The first bid was placed this morning at 03:21 eastern.

[jkeller]

that would not be unfair. that is a very good idea.

[84Cat]

anything would be more fair than this!

[Wildcatcrazy11]

I am shocked that most of you guys (if any) that were online at exactly 7 got told they were sold out. That is just rediculous in my opinion... its not even possible.

I just got done camping out and there were a lot of people at Memorial waiting but there is no way that there arn't tickets available online. I feel the way the vochures were passed out this week for those of us waiting was extremely unorganized as they didn't even pay attention to the number or the type of vouchure I had.

This seriously calls for a redesign of this whole system because I honestly feel the Athletic department blows this off because its free. I told a man this morning that the system was screwed up and he looked at me like I had a hole in my head. I honestly don't think thy ccare too much. I wouldn't mind paying for tickets if i knew that there would be a fair way of distributing them to everyone.

How fast was the line moving? The entire point of getting these online is so I didn't have to walk 15 minutes, just so I could stand in line. I just wanted to be in the building, I'd be fine up high.

And, yea, I joined so I could read and discuss this. I didn't even know this was here... yay Google.

[wildcat537]

i have been trying since 655...with the same result...but now it says serching and has been going for about 10 minutes and says if i refresh i will lose my place in line....anybody else having this problem/has anyone got tickets today???

[lribookend]

Because nobody on the internet has multiple identities ;).
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++=
The criterion would be one internet address and one mailing address. Yes, many people have more than one email address.....I guess you could put down friends email addresses and mailing addresses. Maybe you limit the number of tickets to 2 per person, or charge something for the tickets. Heck, I don't have all the answers. Do you think the current system works well, or do you have a better idea?

[ukfanman]

Nobody has gotten any tickets from Ticketmaster.

[Aether]

I've been searching, too, to no avail. I'd say it is just a hangup on Ticketmaster's end.

[Cory]

I was right behind Wildcatcrazy in line, with voucher # 38, but I would love to know exactly how many people were in front of me in line by the time the tickets were distributed. I would say at least twice the 37 that were supposed to be there. Maybe the system stinks, maybe it doesn't- what definitely stinks is the complete lack of enforcement of "rules"- such as the whole voucher deal this year. We were led to believe that the vouchers would end all conflicts concerning those that invite 50 of their closest friends to join their group at 5 AM Saturday, and it did absolutely nothing, no because it was a bad idea, but because UK totally ignored their own rules and guidelines.
Anyways, sorry to hear that those of you that didn't camp out weren't able to get tickets online.

It's been fine up until now. Someone somewhere effed this thing up. As much as it sucks, if it's actually sold out, the people who showed up in line should be rewarded first. If that means they get all the tickets, meh, I guess that's the way it is.

[Cat Country]

they were suppose to go on sale at 7:00 est. but NO one got any form ticketmaster.

[jkeller]

I think there should be some concessions made for people who can't go get in line. Like people who live out of town or have to work that morning.

[Aether]

...and now I can't even get on ticketmaster.com. I get an unable to connect error.

[Ky Man]

I have been trying since 7:00 am on the dot...at first it said no tickets available now I can't even get on ticketmasters.com...what a joke!!!!!!!!!!!

[matt colvin]

There was a problem obviously, and they're supposed to fix it. Keep trying folks....they're not sold out.

I just got back from memorial, and they're already packed up and gone lol!

[Littlemeyer]

:thumbup: Thanks for the heads-up.

Oh...did you get tickets?

[brooke8225]

Stating that tickets for online will be available later on this morning...

[matt colvin]

any way to report that? I'd love to bust some of these people!

and tickets are supposed to be available soon

[CatfanShan]

From ukathletics.com..."Online Madness Ticketing Experiencing Problems

Due to a technical problem, the online portion of the Big Blue Madness ticket distribution was unavailable Saturday morning. We ask fans for their patience as we work to resolve this situation.
Tickets will be available online once the problem is fixed. We apologize for the inconvenience. There are no tickets left at Memorial Coliseum. Online ticket distribution. "

No, I hoped I would though. I ran over there with a friend. Threw on a uk sweatshirt, grabbed my credit cards, and busted a move over there. parked next to the joe craft center.

can't believe i didn't get pulled over on the way there :eek:

yes, I got a little redneck on the way there lol

[matt colvin]

bumped for the above post!

[Jazz]

good i have been clicking since 7:00 and my fingers are getting tiredwhen will it be avaiable

[matt colvin]

lol, the merger of this thread threw me for a loop. still not woke up yet.

[iloveallmypets]

Hey guys! Is Ticketmaster off line for you, too....or is it my computer? Well, it can't be my computer....since I am online here....any luck anybody?

[Littlemeyer]

Ticketmaster site is working for me, but it's still saying that there are no tickets available.

[CatfanShan]

A friend of mine said she was in Kroger (ticketmaster outlet) and they said that the tickets will probably be available around 10am. Not sure where they came up with the time, but that's the only thing I've heard of about WHEN they will be available.

this bites!

[matt colvin]

not working for me yet

[Littlemeyer]

LOL. This last time I tried, my mystery word was "tedious".

[jkeller]

One I had said "stopped" another said "abord"

[matt colvin]

how are you guys getting ticketmaster site to work......mine won't yet

[jkeller]

what internet provider do you have? could just be your connection. I've never left the ticketmaster site, I keep it in a background window, that could be why it still works for me.

[lribookend]

...and now I can't even get on ticketmaster.com. I get an unable to connect error.

Me too. I'd wish they'd find an alternative to Ticketmaster!

[matt colvin]

insight

tried mozilla and ie

[jkeller]

what about safari? that's what I'm using

[matt colvin]

don't have safari :icon_cry:

[Aether]

I don't get ticketmaster.com, either. Must be an Insight problem; I'm in Lexington, and can't get UK tickets through ticketmaster. Sigh.

[sCATback]

I don't have a problem with them not being sold on ticketmaster, but tell me from the start I need to camp out for tickets. Don't tell me there are going to be tickets on there for sale then not put any up. Just let me know the rules from the start, don't change them in the middle of the game.

[iloveallmypets]

Okay....now I am getting angry with the internet. I was on ticketmaster for over and hour and now I got knocked off and cannot get back onto ticketmaster at all. It keeps giving me the same screen....no internet connection....cannot display page....etc. This, I cannot figure out since everyone else is still on ticketmaster (to no avail, it appears, though). I just want to get back on ticketmaster so I can keep trying and keep fuming at the same time! Haha...not funny!

I don't think it works that way. I believe they probably divide up the tickets with some available at the window and others available through Ticketmaster. Otherwise, they would be handing tickets through the window to one person, while someone else was ordering the same tickets on the 'net. I don't think that would work very well.....

[MojoCat21]

For all the obscene charges TicketBastard puts you through when buying concert tickets, sports tickets, etc., couldn't they hire a few freaking tech people?

Utterly unacceptable for a major company's website to get absolutely demolished by 20,000 people.

[matt colvin]

I just called for tickets, and the rep said they're out. I just hung up on him, and thankfully didn't say anything mean to him .

Man, I'm absolutely steaming right now. For a guy as easy going as I generally am, this pretty bad.

Folks I just want 1 ticket, that's all.

I'd gladly buy one off of somebody if that would possible.


Sorry for the rant, but just wanted to communicate it somehow. I appreciate youall :thumbup:

[jkeller]

Thanks KYBRED! I went back in just now and got four tickets in row Z, section 232.

oooh the aerial view! For the Carolina game a couple years ago I had row JJ in 232, one row from the top. It's not that bad up there, actually.

[iloveallmypets]

Well at least you got through to them on the phone. All I ever got was a busy signal....couldn't get through by phone or online and I am up here by Cincinnati, so I sure as heck couldn't get in line there! I am not happy and my sons are gonna be unhappy, too, when they get home tonight. This is a terrible system when the internet blows me away like that!
K.C.

[CATHEAD]

I's not fair, but I'm the luckiest man on earth. I was on at 7:00, couldn't get any. Got to work, kept trying, and at about 8:40 I got through and got LOWERS! My buddy was on at his computer and got uppers, row Z. Go figure.

As of 9:20 am Saturday morning, all Big Blue Madness tickets have been distributed, and the event is sold out. Half of the available tickets were distributed at 7:00 am at Memorial Coliseum, and half of the available tickets were distributed online at ticketmaster.com at 8:45 am due to technical difficulties. We appreciate your patience with the delay this morning.
I never even got back on ticketmasters site after getting knocked off at 7:55 am

[BigBlue75]

is there's a Ticketmaster location at the Kroger supermarket here in LaGrange that wasn't even supposed to open until 10 am, but when I called over there, I found out they had been selling tickets since the store opened at 7 a.m. Three bleetin' hours before TM was even supposed to be open.

Of course, by the time I called, all the tickets were gone.


GRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:mad:

(Sorry..just needed to ventilate a little.)

[MojoCat21]

I know it can't do much for those of us who got screwed by Ticketmaster, but I filed a Better Business Bureau complaint against them this morning. I basically said that it was unacceptable for a large corporation like that to have such a crappy server and website. I know there are a lot of Cat fans out there, but seriously, this wasn't the first day ticket sales for the next U2 tour or anything. For the insane premiums and surcharges they hit you with for other concert tickets (or the retarded charge for being able to freaking PRINT your tickets), you'd think they could be a little better in the IT department.

I'm not sure what kind of action BBB will take (probably none) but it helped me to get it off my chest. I'm suggesting several of you exercise your voice and complain as well.

[PJ]

You have every right to be mad, but Ticketmaster wasn't expecting that many hits on their server. You can blame ticketmaster, but you can't. They didn't know 4,000 UK fans would log into their site during the same time region, or the hour before and after 7am.

I feel for ya man, that's why I didn't take a chance with ticketmaster and drove and hour and half for them.

There are a whole lot more hits to the their site when they have a big concert, and this is not the first time this has happened.

[MojoCat21]

I understand that a lot of people logged on at the same time, but the point I'm making is that all those log ons should not have crashed their pitiful website. 200,000 of us could get on amazon.com right now and buy something and it probably wouldn't bring the website to its knees.

I live here in Lexington, but by the time I got down to Memorial (after fretting whether to leave the computer), everyone had packed up and gone. Ah well, football game in a couple hours ought to smooth out my mood.

[Radiated]

They had to have some type of glitch other than bandwith.

I don't know, I guess I got lucky and didn't get up early and slept till 10 on a saturday morning.

[Aether]

This is by no means the worst experience I've ever had with Ticketmaster. Admitedly, waking up at 7:00 this morning to get tickets, and then not being able to get onto ticketmaster.com until after they were all sold out sucks terribly. But, I got tickets to a concert a few months ago. The ticket price was $37. I ordered two tickets. After tm.com was finished adding all of their access charges, my total was $97.50. You do the math. They have control over every major venue in the country.

[CatsFan4Evr]

I wouldn't be surprised if there were 3,000-4,000 people at Memorial this morning, if not more.

[CatsFan4Evr]

How fast was the line moving? The entire point of getting these online is so I didn't have to walk 15 minutes, just so I could stand in line. I just wanted to be in the building, I'd be fine up high.

And, yea, I joined so I could read and discuss this. I didn't even know this was here... yay Google.

Welcome!

[crs]

I say we have a huge party and all watch it on TV and sulk about not being there but then enjoy it anyway...

[Shim]

I had to work this morning at 7:30 so I got my wife situated and on the site and she tried for an hour and ten minutes to get tickets, and only got the sold out reply. I am so mad right now. Really, doesn't ticketmaster know how big a deal this event is.

[teamchemistry09]

How do we know you arent a rapist who will kill us when we get there? lol

[matt colvin]

Glad I'm not needing any other tickets, I still can't go to the ticketmaster site lol. Just not my day I guess.

[UKSam]

I just tried to get on ticketmaster a few mins ago (10:20 est) and the webpage is not available. Is it just me or can any one else get on?
