Shut out of the show you just have to see? This is the place to see if anyone's got extras.
with cash and a kind trade... Also need one for may 2nd in philly (cash or kind trade or both) bearisgrateful@live.com
Realizing that i need to see the dead at the spectrum before its gone, but refusing to pay an EXTRA $100 to a ticket scalping site for seats behind the stage!!!
Looking for lawn seats for Shoreline....missed presale & general sale. Can't believe the markup on these "other" sites. What a rip. Anyone got extras?
I'm looking for face value and not behind or side stage, preferably the $55 variety. Can anyone please help? Thanks in advance!
Just wanted to post that I still need 3 for Shoreline if anyone has them. I am NOT paying the extra 100 per to the stinking scalpers. However I would make sure that whoever has 3 for Shoreline is nicely compensated for being kind!!

I've been randomly looking for tickets to shows on the tour and have had plenty of luck. In some cases, the seats are nosebleeds, while others appear to be in the loge (which ain't bad). While most shows are being handled by Ticketmaster, there are six that are not. So, follow these directions and you will be connected directly to the agencies that are licensed for the following performances:
(1) If you want Shoreline tickets, call 877-598-8497.
(2) If you want to go to the Albany or Buffalo shows, call 888-223-6000.
(3) If you're trying for either of the two the Philadelphia shows, try calling 800-298-4200.
(4) For Charlottesville tix, call 800-594-8499.
If the show you want to go to is being sold on Ticketmaster - keep trying, every day! TM is famous for holding seats back and releasing them at odd times. I've bought excellent seats to performances over the years by being patient and checking back.

Congressman asks for investigation of Ticketmaster, TicketsNow over Springsteen
By George Gombossy on February 3, 2009 2:44 PM | Permalink | Comments (0)
PASCRELL SEEKS INVESTIGATION INTO TICKETMASTER BUSINESS PRACTICE WITH SUBSIDIARY, TICKETNOW
Press release:
WASHINGTON-- U.S. Rep. Bill Pascrell, Jr. (D-NJ-08) today requested that the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ) Antitrust Division investigate Ticketmaster's relationship with its subsidiary company, TicketsNow, following the company's handling of ticket sales for the Bruce Springsteen tour that became available on Monday February 2.
Dear Chairman Kovacic:
I am writing today to direct your attention to a potential conflict of interest regarding Ticketmaster and its affiliate company, TicketsNow. This issue has been brought to my attention through constituent complaints and press reports regarding the online sale of Bruce Springsteen concerts tickets at the IZOD Center in New Jersey and other locations all across the country.
As you know, Ticketmaster is a large ticket sales and distribution company that often serves as a venue's sole ticketing agent. A large percentage of their sales are made online through Ticketmaster.com. In a recent effort expand its business Ticketmaster acquired TicketsNow, a website which specializes in the secondary, resale market for tickets.
When tickets for Bruce Springsteen's new tour went on sale exclusively through Ticketmaster at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, February 2, 2009, scores of fans in New Jersey were met with technical difficulty on Ticketmaster.com that impaired them from making a purchase. Thousands of others who were fortunate enough to get beyond the technical problems were informed that the shows were sold out.
Conspicuously placed on the same screen that informed fans of ticket unavailability was an alternative purchasing option from TicketsNow.com. It offered the same tickets at a value marked up hundreds of dollars beyond their original face value.
I am troubled by how quickly tickets priced exponentially higher became available on the secondary market to thousands of rejected fans, many who also endured unfortunate technical problems on Ticketmaster.com.
I am concerned that the business affiliation between Ticketmaster and TicketsNow may represent a conflict of interest that is detrimental to the average fan. There is a significant potential for abuse when one company is able to monopolize the primary market for a product and also directly manipulate, and profit from, the secondary market.
Additionally, the speed with which tickets were made available on Ticketmaster's official resale affiliate site raises questions about whether TicketsNow brokers were given preferential treatment instead of competing on a level playing field with average consumers to purchase the tickets.
With so many families struggling in this economy, I am outraged by how expensive tickets to ball games, concerts and other shows have become. I understand the economic principles that have driven up the cost of entertainment, but will not tolerate unjust business practices that put regular Americans at a disadvantage.
I respectfully request that your office investigate the relationship between Ticketmaster and TicketsNow to ensure that the procedure for purchasing tickets remains fair to the average consumer. If you require any additional information or have any questions, please contact Arthur Mandel on my staff at (202) 225-5751. I look forward to the favor of your reply.
Sincerely,
Bill Pascrell, Jr.

4 fans shut out of the Dead at MSG by ticketmaster and the rest of the evil empire. If anyone has extras please email ... tracy.hermann@gmail.com!
Hey there,
I bought a few too many dead tickets, and now I can't afford to go to Bonnaroo. Due to this, I have tickets each following shows up for sale/trade:
Worcester 4/18 - 1
Hartford 4/26 - 2
I will gladly trade both sets of tickets for a weekend pass with camping (non-RV) to Bonnaroo. If cash is offered, I will accept no more than what I paid for the tickets. They're pricey enough as it is.
All the tickets are floor seats.
For more information, feel free to mail me on this site, or at me email address:
redial2 [at] gmail [dot] com
Thanks a ton.
Also, I will be attending whichever shows I can't offload tickets for, as well as the 4/19 show in Worcester. If you're interested in carpooling, shoot me a message.

Hi!We bought tickets (general admission) to the Shoreline show on May 10th, but after seeing today that they will be playing the gorge in washington, we would much prefer to go there since we wouldn't have to fly. If you would like these tickets for the same price I got them for ($79? i think. I cant remember right now, but we can figure it out later). Please e-mail me! I would be happy to send them to you.
Cheers,
