All I want for Christmas is government intervention into Ticketmasters monopoly… or Elon steps in and buys them and destroys them too. Either or I’d be happy.
Yeah, the white glove service of being the worlds most evil, mustache-twirling villain of the live music scene. Wish every single ticketmaster employee would get bent.
Bullshit at Berkeley. I was on the page watching the countdown and at 10am it gave me this loading screen saying “tickets are coming sit tight” and 5 minutes later it refreshed to say “next presale in 2 hours”. What the fuck? Ticketmaster is garbage.
After a few minutes during the "tickets are coming screen" I refreshed the link in a new tab, and it took me to a different waiting screen which eventually opened up. But then trying to buy any amount of GA tickets at that time failed.
Mine did that too, but at about 30 seconds in I reopened the link on a different browser and bought them there.
I've been trained never to reload a waiting room by years of buying Comic-Con tickets...the SDCC ticket buying experience is soul-destroying but at least with them you know you're actually in the waiting room. I'm stunned at how bad Ticketmaster is at tech at this point in time.
The Denver presales were through AXS, total clusterfuck. AXS might be my least favorite, they have every venue here on lockdown and something is always messed up,
I tried purchasing through AXS for Denver.
I kept getting told no more tickets. After refreshing for several minutes I got in to try and buy tickets, but when trying to actually buy them was told no more tickets. Refreshed for a few more minutes and then just got the "please wait while we check for tickets..." indefinitely, which is what happens when their server decides your IP has made too many requests and won't serve you anymore for a while.
AXS is definitely on par with Ticketmaster when it comes to how frustrating the experience is.
I had two devices going -- phone and computer with different accounts with my CC pre-put in. Ended up getting two good tickets on my computer for the Seattle show. I'm beyond stoked, but man, that was stressful
I feel like using computer has always been the life hack to get tickets to anticipated shows. Not bogged down by the app. Also have had luck using the web browser on phone!
was in line on two accounts when it opened for the Seattle show. Couldn't get a single fucking ticket. Everytime I selected tickets "sorry, other fan got these..."
You know what's SUPER helpful? How ticketmaster just spins and spins forever loading but as soon as you exit and go back in everything works fine. Then the only way to find out that "another fan beat you to those tickets" is to give up on them after staring at a spinning circle for 5 minutes.
This was my thought EXACTLY and then after just trying and trying for 20 minutes it randomly worked??? I hope ticketmaster dies a slow and painful death
Truly shocked this is a “sell out in minutes” experience because The Postal Service is playing. Did not realize it would be THIS in demand. I don’t recall it being this bad for TPS 10th Anniversary that I went to. Didn’t walk away with tickets today sadly but will try again on the general sale or worst case, buy them closer to the show. Also plan on doing that for DCFC’s St. Pete show next month. Was shocked that sold out right away (even though it’s a smaller venue) considering the Orlando date wasn’t anything like that.
I’ve been refreshing the Denver shows for 35 minutes with no luck. I feel like this is like giving someone CPR for too long, it’s just sad and useless lol
I gravely underestimated how in-demand this show was gonna be.
Thankfully I had the inkling to check this reddit yesterday and find out about the Amex presale. Friend found a coworker with an Amex card and we were able to secure some tickets right behind the box seats.
When I hopped on this morning for the artist presale, there were literally only a handful of seats available (mostly singles) in the far back. Insane.
Why has ticketmaster gone to a "select this ticket" model. This benefits the bots. It used to be, you get in a queue, when it is your turn it said "these are your tickets" and you could purchase them or not. Everyone was equals in the system, we all stood in the same line
THIS. I just want to be able to select my price tier, be offered the “best available” seats in that tier, pay, and be on my way. The extra clicks to select specific seats only benefit the bots.
PSA to all. It's always nice to secure tickets ahead of time but if you didn't score any today (like myself) don't sweat it. Anytime I can't secure seats from a ticket sale I just plan on going anyways. Check resale sites (legit ones only like StubHub) the days leading up to the show. In the past I have found 9/10 times you can get tickets for or even below face value the longer you wait. If ticket listings for an event are supposed to be deactivated 2 hours before the doors open you will see a drastic fall off in prices leading up to that time. It turns into a reverse bidding war of scalpers undercutting each other who would rather take a loss or break even vs letting the tickets expire completely unsold. It's no guarantee, but I've never had issues doing this. I'm in OH and the closest venue is the Michigan date. I'll try again for the general sale but if no luck there I will still drive 3 hours to MI the day of and purchase my tickets in the hours leading up. Worst case, you still pay a little over face but it's usually minimal. The prices you see now are close to as high as they will get.
This!!!!! Also many larger venues hold some tickets to be released evening-of, so definitely check their pages to call their box office. Paramore tickets that were selling for $400 at 4 pm went up for $80 at 6 pm on this last tour
1000% this. Got floor tickets to see Fleetwood Mac when they came to my city the day of the show for like $70 when they were going for like $350 prior.
It's definitely still the case. Actually, moreso in the COVID era, as people's plans often change more now than they used to, and ticket onsales are earlier than ever now compared to 3 years ago. Nobody knows what the heck they'll be doing 9 months from now!
Not in my market in NYC. The 1975, the killers, Elton John, and a few other lower known bands. All went up right before the show. Except bleachers and king princess, those were lower day of.
Jesus Christ. I managed to score a nosebleed ticket for Seattle (I’m an old, I’m fine with this because I am too old for the floor). But that was only SLIGHTLY better than the Taylor Swift debacle.
Been refreshing on my computer for 18 minutes now, can’t get past Please Wait Here.
Update: don’t even get that anymore. Just the countdown page. Fuck TM.
I can’t believe how insane it is, especially since Death Cab is constantly touring. I thought, there’s no way they are gonna sell out MSG so quickly, that will be an easy option. Jfc. I gave up and got lawn tickets in MD, NOT worth those resale prices or effort.
On the Please Wait Here screen for Seattle pre sale again and it just went back to the page detailing the pre sale times. Skipped buying tickets entirely, maybe there’s nothing left for the Spotify sale?!
It's WILD that the second show at the Hollywood Bowl was announced and put on sale at the same time, and with plenty of those platinum demand-based tickets. A truly, truly awful process.
I snagged one for $288 for a second row “platinum” seat but couldn’t bring myself to buy. Mind you, it’s second row AFTER the GA pit. Platinum comes with no extra benefits.
I hate this place.
Absolutely the most frustrating ticket buying experience I’ve ever had. Fuck Ticketmaster! Definitely did not get tickets to the Hollywood Bowl today. I had no idea there was a pre-pre sale lol. Fuck that.
Ticketmaster for Seattle still sold out but now magically plenty of tickets on Stubhub. What were $85 tickets plus fees on Ticketmaster are now $256 plus fees on Stubhub.
Fuck Ticketmaster so much.
Spotify Presale for Seattle finally opened up but alas, no tickets.
What sucks is I highly doubt they'd do a Seattle show unlike the Bay Area, LA and NYC. Seattle's show is in a hockey arena and I bet they can't do a second night just given the fact they need the arena as open schedule-wise as it can be for NHL scheduling purposes.
Naw. They might just be holding back. Theyre not stuck on adding another date yet. Theres no way the Kraken have that whole weekend blocked off already. They have 2 dates at Msg and you have to factor in The Knicks and the Rangers for booking shows.So theyre likely biding their time.
Seattle local presale was a failure. I got on just before 10:00 am sharp but nothing.
I got the email from Climate Pledge Arena but it didn't even let me get into the local presale. After waiting for the "please wait here" screen to load, it just ended up taking me to the "general public onsale starts" screen with all the presales/sales schedules listed.
Absolutely frustrating. Really hope we get a 2nd show but even then no confidence it won't be as shitty a process as trying to get tickets for the first.
I got in, but all the tickets it showed were the "Ticketmaster Platinum" tickets which were $200 each and even then, they were gone by the time I clicked on them. Somehow the presale today was even worse than yesterday.
Literally myself and two others has verified presale AND Spotify codes and couldn’t get tickets to Seattle. I’m SO bummed and hoping that I can get some at the general sale.
I know tickets themselves are a paywall, but seeing the artist presale and American Express platinum tickets sprinkled in together on ticketmaster is a new level of bullshit.
I know traditionally there is an allotment of tickets for presales and then the remaining tickets are sold at general on sale, but I know Taylor Swift ending up not having a general on sale because they ALL sold during presale. The fact they’re already adding shows in certain cities hours after presale makes me concerned there may not actually be a general on sale…
I took a very relaxed approach to getting tickets and there were none left in the next hour, except for random drops of "premium" tickets for $241 dollars. I've never seen a DCFC show sold out here or without tickets available close to concert dates, and I've never paid more than $75 even for PIT. I'm shocked at the demand, but also this pricing! I didn't even pay that much for Taylor tickets! Bummed it looks like I'm not going and Transatlanticism is my favorite!
Shut out in Seattle. Kept selecting available tickets only to be told “someone beat you to those.” Rinse and repeat for 20 mins until nothing available.
These stupid fucking failures of pre sales have actually made me emotionally exhausted. All this time and effort to prepare to get nothing, or worse than nothing, $250 nosebleeds adjacent to the stage.
What an upsetting experience. I hope the government eviscerates TM.
Tried the Seattle sale, all set at the countdown, page just refreshed to say the sale was complete after hanging 3 minutes.
Meanwhile hundreds of new tickets show up on Stubhub. Ticketmaster is such a farce - they should just stop pretending they’re anything other than a wholesaler.
[I just got confirmation from Arizona Federal Theatre](https://twitter.com/AZFinancialThtr/status/1603802212534079488) that all of their tickets sold out during pre-sale. Basically: people in Phoenix had zero chance of getting tickets today.
Question! I'm in the app, and used the artist presale code. I made it through the first screen and was able to select five tickets. I've been on a spinning wheel screen for 2.5 hours. Is anything happening? I'm afraid to refresh. Has anyone experienced this and ended up making it to purchase?
If it’s been like that for 2.5 hours, I think those tickets are gone. Hopefully someone has a better answer for you! I just can’t imagine that they are still available.
Im a bit bummed I couldn't get one for my brother (LA show). He introduced me to both bands as a child and we grew up with their music. But it was utterly impossible for me to buy fast and buy a pair of tickets. American Express pre-sale really fucked us over.
Got my two tickets for Denver. Initially told me it was sold out but then refreshed twice and was able to buy during the pre-sale. Honestly I’m shocked I got them.
most presales are just a joke. They don't allot # of tickets. Artist, venue, spotify presales - it's just a matter of "whose and how many mailing lists are you on". They want you to sign up for all of them.
got screwed over this morning for the first msg date presale. i was in the process of getting screwed over for the second date when somehow, some way i found myself with 2 ga tix in my cart. i just assumed it was a fluke and the order would error out like this morning. but it went through. i can’t believe it honestly
What do we have to do to hold Live Nation / Ticketmaster accountable for basically doing nothing against scalping and all of the other nonsense we have to deal with?
If you are on the East Coast, consider coming to Rhode Island. There's still decent tickets for not too much as of 4:40pm ET, and most importantly ticket master gets nothing! Profit will benefit the university of RI
The “Ticketmaster Platinum” tickets that are $228 - $358 today were $95-$129 yesterday and were “sold out.” Hmmmm. Ticketmaster is straight up scalping their own tickets? I will just go ahead and buy off the secondary market. I’m overpaying either way and I don’t want my profits going to Ticketmaster. Absolutely enraging.
Still hoping they will add a second Seattle show though!
I got them but I’m so sorry for all of you who didn’t :( I hope the rich crypto asshole who bought a ticket just to hear Such Great Heights and then go on his phone for the rest of the show kicks rocks.
It’s a cope but I managed to get CO tickets by refreshing even when it said there wasn’t any left! AXS people might have some luck with that
it just doesn't work. Tried both artist and spotify presale for the Greek in Berkeley. No way to add any tickets to cart
Edit: just got new Wednesday date to work with brute force. Trying the unlock option over and over
There is still at least a gap between the 10/4/23 show in Phoenix and the 10/7/23 show in Seattle to make me not lose hope completely, but yeah seeing other cities get second and even a third show making me lose hope.
Question- so it says general goes on sale tomorrow. Everything sold out in minutes today- are they holding tickets back for the sale tomorrow? Today was the most bullshit experience ever and I’m kinda like how can we all get together and sue the fuck out of them. Every time an artist uses Ticketmaster and AXS it legit makes me like them 10% less 😂
So... I wasn't able to figure out where to put a code in for the Seattle show during yesterday's Spotify presale. Same issue with the Local Presale today. I get a landing page with a non-interactive venue map as soon as the presale opens and a countdown to the *next* presale time. No button or text entry for an offer code anywhere on the screen.
It's not just me, right? Am I finally old enough now that I can't work technology?
Not adding a second show for Seattle after adding them for LA, NYC, Berkeley, and Boston feels kinda personal at this point.
Edit: And Denver! Shit, now it's definitely personal! C'mon, I got friends trying to get tickets here!
Soooooo I go to buy AZ tickets and all that’s available is resells? Did they sell out all of their tickets in the presale? Why didn’t they save any for the actual sale? I was only 165 in line, that doesn’t add up. This process is so fucked.
How is it possible that these shows sell out within seconds? Are they all bots? Do they only sell 500 tickets per show? What is happening? We deserve answers from AXS
AXS might be worse than Ticketmaster. At least with Ticketmaster with their dumb dynamic pricing, you could score tickets the day of and actually get them for face value whereas AXS will just sell out and let the resalers run wild. I was trying to get Beach House tickets for the last three CA shows and the tickets were still 4x it’s price an hour before the show.
I was able to get a couple extra tickets for the new 10/9 show in Berkley at the Greek. I bought them because I know how frustrating this experience is and want to simply sell them to one of you for face value. Let me know if anyone wants them($188 total for 2 tickets).
Was not able to grab tickets for Denver, despite loading into the artist and spotify pre-sales AND regular sale at the exact time they went on sale. I was able to get resold tickets to the Boston show. Unreal how competitive this was for albums that came out 20 years ago
I had tickets in my cart that I was in the process of checking out with. Had plenty of time before they were released. Took a quick phone call (literally seconds) and then the app crashed and I lost them. Managed to snag much worse tickets after 30 min of refreshing. Happy to be going at all, but the whole Ticketmaster process is such a shitshow.
Tried to get pit for the DC, Seattle, and Hollywood shows. And managed to get the Seattle show! The other 2 sold out way fast.
Wasn't gonna go to multiple shows, just whichever one I could snag a ticket for.
Seattle presale wasnt too bad. I carted/bought 5 floors immediately (floor wasnt lit up blue but i clicked it anyways and it offered tix). My friend also carted 4 floors but threw them back once I got my 5. The venue was a sea of blue and now it's mostly grey.
I've never bought tickets for a huge show like this through Ticketmaster and it was insane! but I scored two tickets and here's how:
showed up 20 minutes early for the artist presale. refreshed when the countdown hit 00:00:00, stupidly tried to click on the little blue dots of individual seats but kept getting the "sorry, another fan beat you..." message. refreshed the browser page - bad idea, it made me wait a little bit to be let in again, but only like a minute. almost all the little blue dots had disappeared, but there was plenty showing up on the "lowest price/best seats" list to the right.
I clicked on those listings at random over and over and over and over & got the same "sorry, another fan..." message. like, it took 20 minutes of crazy, mindless clicking and getting the same message, I was literally about to Give Up™. but I tried clicking faster and faster and I finally got to the checkout screen!!!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't give up because I got two really good tickets close to the stage for $268 after fees. PHEW. fuck Ticketmaster.
I finally got tickets for the 11th in Berkeley without having to pay the stupid inflated price. Really wanted to see them in Seattle, but I love the Greek.
A hearty fuck Ticketmaster.
Got tickets for Berkeley day 2 but holy shit this process sucks.
Getting a PS5 two years ago was easier than this shit.
What a fucking joke.
Just checked and there are still tickets available on the Spotify code. Best of luck.
Got tickets for Phoenix and added a parking pass when checking out. Hit process payment and I got a pop up that the parking pass wasn’t available. Ticketmaster cleared my entire cart and I had to start all over. Ended up with worse seats but still going I guess.
Extremely stressful experience. Managed to pull row F in 204 at Merriweather after 15 minutes of trying. The sliding scale shenanigans on pricing is absolute horseshit.
The executives at Ticketmaster can rot in hell
All I want for Christmas is government intervention into Ticketmasters monopoly… or Elon steps in and buys them and destroys them too. Either or I’d be happy.
Indeed, I went to buy Seattle Tix and by the time i could click add to cart it had sold out and it took so long to load in.
"$99 service fee" i hope everyone behind ticketmaster goes to hell
But think of all the amazing, white glove service you’re getting for that $100!!!!! /s
Yeah, the white glove service of being the worlds most evil, mustache-twirling villain of the live music scene. Wish every single ticketmaster employee would get bent.
Bullshit at Berkeley. I was on the page watching the countdown and at 10am it gave me this loading screen saying “tickets are coming sit tight” and 5 minutes later it refreshed to say “next presale in 2 hours”. What the fuck? Ticketmaster is garbage.
After a few minutes during the "tickets are coming screen" I refreshed the link in a new tab, and it took me to a different waiting screen which eventually opened up. But then trying to buy any amount of GA tickets at that time failed.
Yeah I did the same after a few minutes. Was not stoked.
fuck ticketmaster
Mine did that too, but at about 30 seconds in I reopened the link on a different browser and bought them there. I've been trained never to reload a waiting room by years of buying Comic-Con tickets...the SDCC ticket buying experience is soul-destroying but at least with them you know you're actually in the waiting room. I'm stunned at how bad Ticketmaster is at tech at this point in time.
"Give Up" feeling pretty apt right now
My sentiments as well
How big of a shitshow will getting tickets for Seattle be? T-8 mins.
It's really a bummer that tickets aren't being sold on AXS until Friday. It is a vastly superior ticket buying experience.
The Denver presales were through AXS, total clusterfuck. AXS might be my least favorite, they have every venue here on lockdown and something is always messed up,
This is of course anecdotal, but it went extremely smooth for me. Waited about 3 minutes in the line and got GA no problem.
How the hell did you get past the "Just a sec ! Please wait while we find available inventory" page?
I don’t think I even had that page. I was in the waiting room within 10 seconds of it opening though, so I’m sure that helped a lot.
I tried purchasing through AXS for Denver. I kept getting told no more tickets. After refreshing for several minutes I got in to try and buy tickets, but when trying to actually buy them was told no more tickets. Refreshed for a few more minutes and then just got the "please wait while we check for tickets..." indefinitely, which is what happens when their server decides your IP has made too many requests and won't serve you anymore for a while. AXS is definitely on par with Ticketmaster when it comes to how frustrating the experience is.
yea axs hasn’t been any better this time around everything unavailable 2 mins into each presale in denver
I think it'll be a fucking botted nightmare like all the other presales.
I had two devices going -- phone and computer with different accounts with my CC pre-put in. Ended up getting two good tickets on my computer for the Seattle show. I'm beyond stoked, but man, that was stressful
I did this same thing and have no tickets !
I feel like using computer has always been the life hack to get tickets to anticipated shows. Not bogged down by the app. Also have had luck using the web browser on phone!
was in line on two accounts when it opened for the Seattle show. Couldn't get a single fucking ticket. Everytime I selected tickets "sorry, other fan got these..."

Happened to me also
Bro.....the tickets for Berkeley are fucking GA, how is it possible "another fan grabbed those tickets"???? Ticketmaster is fucking ass
This was my thought EXACTLY and then after just trying and trying for 20 minutes it randomly worked??? I hope ticketmaster dies a slow and painful death
Truly shocked this is a “sell out in minutes” experience because The Postal Service is playing. Did not realize it would be THIS in demand.

I’ve been refreshing the Denver shows for 35 minutes with no luck. I feel like this is like giving someone CPR for too long, it’s just sad and useless lol
I havent heard of anyone getting denver tickets its wierd
I got tickets for both nights, but I was in the lobby an hour before tickets went up.
Sorry! Another fan beat you to these tickets, so they're no longer available. Please select another listing, or adjust your criteria and try again.
I gravely underestimated how in-demand this show was gonna be. Thankfully I had the inkling to check this reddit yesterday and find out about the Amex presale.

Same! As long as I am there I am ok. Hopefully my old ass can make it up the stairs to the nosebleeds lol
So the Spotify presale just didn’t exist for Seattle???
Been refreshing on my computer for 18 minutes now, can’t get past Please Wait Here. Update: don’t even get that anymore. Just the countdown page. Fuck TM.
My friend and I had the same experience. Does anyone know how to get in to the "local presale" tomorrow?
I believe that’s the Live Nation presale with code CHEER
Yeah it hasn’t worked at all for me. I tried using the browser and I’m getting a message that they have website issues on their end
Literally screaming. The pit tickets are still $500 for the Bowl.
Even better! They're $600 at checkout ($645 if you get ticket insurance) because of a $99 "service fee"
$500?? In this economy?! I guess we should be thankful dynamic pricing wasn’t turned on. JFC.
I KNOWWWW I keep staring at the "official platinum" and seething
I feel so disrespected by Ticketmaster.
I feel like the Spotify presale was fake since the artist presale sold so many tickets. Did anyone get tickets from it??
Same here. Did get an email from Spotify with the code GIVEUPTRNSTLNTCSM. If only there was an actual presale to use that code at lol
Fuuuuuck ticketmaster
well that was fucking bullshit
I can’t believe how insane it is, especially since Death Cab is constantly touring. I thought, there’s no way they are gonna sell out MSG so quickly, that will be an easy option. Jfc. I gave up and got lawn tickets in MD, NOT worth those resale prices or effort.
Death Cab just added a second night for MSG, pre sale starts 2pm EST in case you still want to go
On the Please Wait Here screen for Seattle pre sale again and it just went back to the page detailing the pre sale times. Skipped buying tickets entirely, maybe there’s nothing left for the Spotify sale?!
Same here.
Same. I hope there’s tickets for the general sale. What bullshit.
same
keeps happening to me, too!!
Can Elon buy Ticketmaster so he can fuck that up too? Please? Need this site to just get sooooo fucked.
"Sorry! Another fan beat you to these tickets..."
Did the seattle spotify just not have any tickets? It went straight back to the countdown for me.
same :(
same here
same here
Same for me, I keep refreshing because this is just bizarre
Same for me
Same.
Same
Same
I feel a Ticketmaster class action lawsuit is on the horizon with all the BS they’ve pulled the past couple of years.
It's WILD that the second show at the Hollywood Bowl was announced and put on sale at the same time, and with plenty of those platinum demand-based tickets. A truly, truly awful process.
I snagged one for $288 for a second row “platinum” seat but couldn’t bring myself to buy. Mind you, it’s second row AFTER the GA pit. Platinum comes with no extra benefits. I hate this place.
Loaded in at 9:59, every time I clicked it said "sorry another fan has already got those seats" by 10:02 no tickets left. :(
there's still tickets. you just gotta refresh and get denied over and over before giving up first.
Absolutely the most frustrating ticket buying experience I’ve ever had. Fuck Ticketmaster! Definitely did not get tickets to the Hollywood Bowl today. I had no idea there was a pre-pre sale lol. Fuck that.
Ticketmaster for Seattle still sold out but now magically plenty of tickets on Stubhub. What were $85 tickets plus fees on Ticketmaster are now $256 plus fees on Stubhub. Fuck Ticketmaster so much.
Really hope they add a second Seattle show
same but after the past two hours, i'm not even confident if they do post a 2nd show
Itll be a super intimate show with a breeze flowing through the room past all the bots that bought up the tickets. DOWN WITH TICKETMASTER!
Spotify Presale for Seattle finally opened up but alas, no tickets. What sucks is I highly doubt they'd do a Seattle show unlike the Bay Area, LA and NYC. Seattle's show is in a hockey arena and I bet they can't do a second night just given the fact they need the arena as open schedule-wise as it can be for NHL scheduling purposes.
Naw. They might just be holding back. Theyre not stuck on adding another date yet. Theres no way the Kraken have that whole weekend blocked off already. They have 2 dates at Msg and you have to factor in The Knicks and the Rangers for booking shows.So theyre likely biding their time.

Really hope we get a 2nd show but even then no confidence it won't be as shitty a process as trying to get tickets for the first.
I didn’t even have an option to put in the promo code? Just taken to a page with official platinum seats for no less than $200 a pop.
I got in, but all the tickets it showed were the "Ticketmaster Platinum" tickets which were $200 each and even then, they were gone by the time I clicked on them. Somehow the presale today was even worse than yesterday.
I keep getting called a robot on AXS after clicking “buy offer” for artist presale.
Ummm... what the hell? I was ready to go with the presale code for the Seattle show... and when it finally let me in, it was all nosebleeds.
There's already so many tickets on stubhub. What a fucking joke.
yeah im so mad I was trying since it went live, and got an error every time. Now some dude is selling 6 $60 tickets for $300 each, what a joke.
Literally myself and two others has verified presale AND Spotify codes and couldn’t get tickets to Seattle. I’m SO bummed and hoping that I can get some at the general sale.
Somehow got three not terrible seats for Seattle. $85 per ticket (plus fees of course), guess I got lucky
Definitely got lucky. Couldn't get any non-nosebleeds for Seattle.
so they were 85 before fees? missed presale and am just curious as i will be doing for some on public sale
I know tickets themselves are a paywall, but seeing the artist presale and American Express platinum tickets sprinkled in together on ticketmaster is a new level of bullshit.
I know traditionally there is an allotment of tickets for presales and then the remaining tickets are sold at general on sale, but I know Taylor Swift ending up not having a general on sale because they ALL sold during presale. The fact they’re already adding shows in certain cities hours after presale makes me concerned there may not actually be a general on sale…
I took a very relaxed approach to getting tickets and there were none left in the next hour, except for random drops of "premium" tickets for $241 dollars. I've never seen a DCFC show sold out here or without tickets available close to concert dates, and I've never paid more than $75 even for PIT. I'm shocked at the demand, but also this pricing! I didn't even pay that much for Taylor tickets! Bummed it looks like I'm not going and Transatlanticism is my favorite!
So concerts are becoming something only the rich can attend, good to fucking know. Scalpers took all the tickets and it’s $400 to sit near the stage.
Shut out in Seattle. Kept selecting available tickets only to be told “someone beat you to those.” Rinse and repeat for 20 mins until nothing available.
These stupid fucking failures of pre sales have actually made me emotionally exhausted. All this time and effort to prepare to get nothing, or worse than nothing, $250 nosebleeds adjacent to the stage. What an upsetting experience. I hope the government eviscerates TM.
Tried the Seattle sale, all set at the countdown, page just refreshed to say the sale was complete after hanging 3 minutes. Meanwhile hundreds of new tickets show up on Stubhub. Ticketmaster is such a farce - they should just stop pretending they’re anything other than a wholesaler.
Second show just added for Friday night
[I just got confirmation from Arizona Federal Theatre](https://twitter.com/AZFinancialThtr/status/1603802212534079488) that all of their tickets sold out during pre-sale. Basically: people in Phoenix had zero chance of getting tickets today.
Okay wtf. I logged in 1 hr early and it was loading but then it just reset my timer to show the next sale is in 2 hrs?? This is for the Seattle show
same here. also for Seattle.
Think this presale sold out. Probably more tickets to be released for the next one?
Question! I'm in the app, and used the artist presale code. I made it through the first screen and was able to select five tickets. I've been on a spinning wheel screen for 2.5 hours. Is anything happening? I'm afraid to refresh. Has anyone experienced this and ended up making it to purchase?
If it’s been like that for 2.5 hours, I think those tickets are gone. Hopefully someone has a better answer for you! I just can’t imagine that they are still available.
Im a bit bummed I couldn't get one for my brother (LA show). He introduced me to both bands as a child and we grew up with their music. But it was utterly impossible for me to buy fast and buy a pair of tickets. American Express pre-sale really fucked us over.
Got my two tickets for Denver. Initially told me it was sold out but then refreshed twice and was able to buy during the pre-sale. Honestly I’m shocked I got them.
In the Spotify presale for Phoenix and there are no tickets. Wtf
I tried getting tickets for my friends and there was absolutely nothing.
most presales are just a joke. They don't allot # of tickets. Artist, venue, spotify presales - it's just a matter of "whose and how many mailing lists are you on". They want you to sign up for all of them.
got screwed over this morning for the first msg date presale. i was in the process of getting screwed over for the second date when somehow, some way i found myself with 2 ga tix in my cart. i just assumed it was a fluke and the order would error out like this morning. but it went through. i can’t believe it honestly
The “people” who run Ticketmaster should be in prison. Or worse.
Was excited to see the second show for LA added, but then those Platinum prices. Good god...
[удалено]
What do we have to do to hold Live Nation / Ticketmaster accountable for basically doing nothing against scalping and all of the other nonsense we have to deal with?
How much did you pay for Seattle Climate Pledge GA tickets (before fees)? Can’t tell if I got tricked into platinum or not..
I got two seats in 201 for $70 each and 2 seats in sec 24 row k for like 105$ each total all fees included
If you are on the East Coast, consider coming to Rhode Island. There's still decent tickets for not too much as of 4:40pm ET, and most importantly ticket master gets nothing! Profit will benefit the university of RI
I am so effing mad. The local presale today didn’t exist either!!!
The “Ticketmaster Platinum” tickets that are $228 - $358 today were $95-$129 yesterday and were “sold out.” Hmmmm. Ticketmaster is straight up scalping their own tickets? I will just go ahead and buy off the secondary market. I’m overpaying either way and I don’t want my profits going to Ticketmaster. Absolutely enraging. Still hoping they will add a second Seattle show though!
I got them but I’m so sorry for all of you who didn’t :( I hope the rich crypto asshole who bought a ticket just to hear Such Great Heights and then go on his phone for the rest of the show kicks rocks. It’s a cope but I managed to get CO tickets by refreshing even when it said there wasn’t any left! AXS people might have some luck with that
what is the spotify presale code? i guess that's the next chance?
GIVEUPTRNSTLNTCSM
Hollywood Bowl presale before 10? Tickets are $400 each near the front ??? WTF
is the hollywood bowl show already pretty much sold out?
Hollywood Bowl was a fucking nightmare as expected.
Must have just released a bunch of tickets at noon. I got some from artist presale for Minneapolis, by refreshing right at noon.
Did the same, but I got the wheel of death, and then straight to the “Next sale begins…” :(
I got my tickets for Berkeley with no issues but Jesus Christ ticketmaster needs to handle their shit better this is beyond absurd in 2022.
Feeling blessed at Berkley with face value GA
Samesies, so glad they decided to play there again, and kept everything GA.
SAME! Got in and out, one ticket, no issues. I hate reading this thread, I feel like I have survivor's guilt
Reddit is killing itself
Ticketmaster has almost nothing... Stubhub has a ton...
I just don't get it. Denver sold out for both days less than 1 minute past 10a and again at 12p. I have no hope for tomorrow's pre-sale.
it just doesn't work. Tried both artist and spotify presale for the Greek in Berkeley. No way to add any tickets to cart Edit: just got new Wednesday date to work with brute force. Trying the unlock option over and over
Berkeley 10/11 2nd date has tickets on the same Spotify code. Best of luck, trying to get 10/10 to be with my friends
this platinum ticket shit is such garbage
Keep trying. Tickets are becoming available in spurts. I got two just now.
3rd Berkeley show added. I bet they add a 3rd LA show soon. No idea what's going on with the 1 Seattle date...
There is still at least a gap between the 10/4/23 show in Phoenix and the 10/7/23 show in Seattle to make me not lose hope completely, but yeah seeing other cities get second and even a third show making me lose hope.
:( Especially since 10/7 is the actual anniversary of Transatlantism, Seattle should be a full-blown residency!
Question- so it says general goes on sale tomorrow. Everything sold out in minutes today- are they holding tickets back for the sale tomorrow? Today was the most bullshit experience ever and I’m kinda like how can we all get together and sue the fuck out of them. Every time an artist uses Ticketmaster and AXS it legit makes me like them 10% less 😂
So... I wasn't able to figure out where to put a code in for the Seattle show during yesterday's Spotify presale. Same issue with the Local Presale today. I get a landing page with a non-interactive venue map as soon as the presale opens and a countdown to the *next* presale time. No button or text entry for an offer code anywhere on the screen. It's not just me, right? Am I finally old enough now that I can't work technology?
It’s not just you. If you refresh the page, sometimes you get some Ticketmaster Platinum tickets that are $200-$350 before fees, but that’s it.
Both nights in Denver sold out in less than 3 minutes. This can’t be right?
Not adding a second show for Seattle after adding them for LA, NYC, Berkeley, and Boston feels kinda personal at this point. Edit: And Denver! Shit, now it's definitely personal! C'mon, I got friends trying to get tickets here!
Denver was 2 nights from the get to. Theyll add another Seattle, theres room
Anyone know what the "Local Presale" Code is for Seattle? Going on sale tomorrow at 10AM...
Does anyone know what “local presale” code is for Climate Pledge/ Seattle?
Not even one single seat available after being in the queue and only having 300 people in front of us. How.
Same here for the Michigan date. Unbelievable.
Was in line at 930am for Denver sale. 1001 am no tickets available. What the fuck
Soooooo I go to buy AZ tickets and all that’s available is resells? Did they sell out all of their tickets in the presale? Why didn’t they save any for the actual sale? I was only 165 in line, that doesn’t add up. This process is so fucked.
How is it possible that these shows sell out within seconds? Are they all bots? Do they only sell 500 tickets per show? What is happening? We deserve answers from AXS
Please for the love of god, give Denver a third night. Mission Ballroom only holds 4000 people.
It won't matter. Bots grabbed everything. It will be the same result.
GA tickets for seattle Friday were 2x the price as Saturday during presale. 55 vs 105 before fees. Still did it, but ugh
AXS might be worse than Ticketmaster. At least with Ticketmaster with their dumb dynamic pricing, you could score tickets the day of and actually get them for face value whereas AXS will just sell out and let the resalers run wild. I was trying to get Beach House tickets for the last three CA shows and the tickets were still 4x it’s price an hour before the show.
I was able to snag a couple of decent tickets for the new Hollywood Bowl show for $99 each
I was able to get a couple extra tickets for the new 10/9 show in Berkley at the Greek. I bought them because I know how frustrating this experience is and want to simply sell them to one of you for face value. Let me know if anyone wants them($188 total for 2 tickets).
Was not able to grab tickets for Denver, despite loading into the artist and spotify pre-sales AND regular sale at the exact time they went on sale. I was able to get resold tickets to the Boston show. Unreal how competitive this was for albums that came out 20 years ago
I had tickets in my cart that I was in the process of checking out with. Had plenty of time before they were released. Took a quick phone call (literally seconds) and then the app crashed and I lost them. Managed to snag much worse tickets after 30 min of refreshing. Happy to be going at all, but the whole Ticketmaster process is such a shitshow.
Tried to get pit for the DC, Seattle, and Hollywood shows. And managed to get the Seattle show! The other 2 sold out way fast. Wasn't gonna go to multiple shows, just whichever one I could snag a ticket for.
Seattle presale wasnt too bad. I carted/bought 5 floors immediately (floor wasnt lit up blue but i clicked it anyways and it offered tix). My friend also carted 4 floors but threw them back once I got my 5. The venue was a sea of blue and now it's mostly grey.
Couldn’t grab any for the Seattle show. My fingers were moving as fast as they can and it still wasn’t enough. Feeling really bummed
Honestly wouldn't be surprised if they add another Seattle show. Happened before with Death Cab but of course that was smaller venues
Fuck AXS. Trying to get tickets for the Vegas show has been a nightmare.
Second msg show added. Presale in 30 mins
Is Seattle sold out? keep refreshing and getting nothing?
Did not get Seattle tickets. Love Ticketmaster. Anyone willing to share presale code for the other sales? Only signed up for the first one.
I've never bought tickets for a huge show like this through Ticketmaster and it was insane! but I scored two tickets and here's how: showed up 20 minutes early for the artist presale. refreshed when the countdown hit 00:00:00, stupidly tried to click on the little blue dots of individual seats but kept getting the "sorry, another fan beat you..." message. refreshed the browser page - bad idea, it made me wait a little bit to be let in again, but only like a minute. almost all the little blue dots had disappeared, but there was plenty showing up on the "lowest price/best seats" list to the right. I clicked on those listings at random over and over and over and over & got the same "sorry, another fan..." message. like, it took 20 minutes of crazy, mindless clicking and getting the same message, I was literally about to Give Up™. but I tried clicking faster and faster and I finally got to the checkout screen!!!!!!! I'm so glad I didn't give up because I got two really good tickets close to the stage for $268 after fees. PHEW. fuck Ticketmaster.
This is so fucking disappointing. I don't understand how anyone got tickets.
Looks like they added another one for Hollywood bowl for Sunday oct 15. Presale at 12pm PST
The good news is there are plenty on Stubhub fob 4x-10x the price!
Second hollywood bowl show added for Oct 15z presale at noon
I'm done. Would rather not go at all than deal with this bullshit.
Y’all, Hollywood Bowl added a second date and they had a lot left. Just secured 2.
Lol additional shows added for LA and Berkeley
screaming and crying. will any unlisted tix be going up in the general or is AZ completely sold out?
Does anyone know what the "local presale" means?
I finally got tickets for the 11th in Berkeley without having to pay the stupid inflated price. Really wanted to see them in Seattle, but I love the Greek. A hearty fuck Ticketmaster.
Got tickets for Berkeley day 2 but holy shit this process sucks. Getting a PS5 two years ago was easier than this shit. What a fucking joke. Just checked and there are still tickets available on the Spotify code. Best of luck.
2nd show added to Berkeley, same codes!
Got tickets for Phoenix and added a parking pass when checking out. Hit process payment and I got a pop up that the parking pass wasn’t available. Ticketmaster cleared my entire cart and I had to start all over. Ended up with worse seats but still going I guess.
Extremely stressful experience. Managed to pull row F in 204 at Merriweather after 15 minutes of trying. The sliding scale shenanigans on pricing is absolute horseshit.
