Ticketmaster Trauma Therapy Thread

[IChris1]

Moonshot, I agree with you.  I got tickets through the presale and the regular seats you can get today are better than the presale seats.  Next time I will just wait for the public sale.  That just doesn't make any sense to get the limited seating for the presale and the public gets better seats.

To add to all the stress...here are more reports I found at CV:

RE:  Raleigh RBC Center:

Someone at the OFC just posted that she went to the Raleigh ticket box office and bought front row center tickets. 

Hey guys! This is my friend!     

We went to the RBC center box office this morning at around 6:30am and we were surprised that there were only 4 people there. Since only about 12 people showed up, they decided to not use the lottery. Since there were 6 windows open we were up at the window at exactly 10am. All 6 people up at the box office windows at 10am got Center Section rows 1 or 2. We don't know what the second round of people got because we were to busy celebrating our wonderful tickets in 1st row center!

I still can't believe that we got first row center at the RBC center in Raleigh! Those have to be the best tickets in the whole Clay Nation!!! Is it December 22 yet?   

I'm sorry for those of you who were at home trying on ticketmaster! It doesn't seem fair that no good tickets were available on the site.

Who is this lucky person?  What do you want to bet that she's already had at least 2 meet and greets with Clay, as well!  I'm try to contain my blatant jealously, but I just can't this time.  So here goes!!!  And by the way, this one's for you, as well, MOONSHOT!!!

Isn't anybody going to the concert in Pensacola?????  I just went onto Ticketmaster (its almost 2:00 in the afternoon and tickets went on sale to the general public this morning) and you can still get Section 1 - Row 18!!!  That  is center stage seats!!!!!  On the day of the presale I got way up in the rafters about 5 sections away from the stage!!!     What the hell???

That's strange!  Maybe people are afraid of another hurricane????

I know I've posted this before, somewhere , but depending on which venue you were trying for, some had better presale tickets than general sales tickets, and others were the other way around.  Which, certainly, doesn't help in deciding whether or not to wait for the general sale.

[IChris1]

This whole presale thing is very strange.  Maybe we need a psychic to interpret it for us.  For myself, I think I will just wait for the general tickets to go on sale the next time or maybe try a broker.  I'm just tired of getting yukky seats no matter what I try.

I know the people that got those first row tickets by going to the RBC on Saturday. One of them did get to dance with Clay  but they haven't had any meet and greets. They are nice girls but I'm still:

I'm happy for the lucky ticket holders in Raleigh.  Seriously.  I've had so much going on lately, I couldn't have been there anyway.  So, I'm trying to reach a zen state of consciousness about ticket trauma. 

Ohhhhhhmmmm.

But, as far as I can recall, every single time I or anyone has ever inquired as to whether or not better seats are available at the box office, I've been told NO, the chance for getting good seats is the same whether you are on line or show up in person.

I guess that was not really the case after all.  Yet another lesson learned the hard way.

Just like the seating arrangement changes (we are now up to the third seating configuration for Raleigh) being covered by the fine print at the RBCC site that says "Seating charts reflect the general layout for this venue at this time. Specific seat locations may vary and stage position may change without notice."

And they'll do it too!

Okay, so, with all that's been said, are his ticket sales not going well?  Anybody have a handle on that???
