post here, folks ;D
-
fail. got in at 10am on the dot. no tickets.
-
Dude. REALLY????
-
out of about 20 pulls, i was offered 400's twice (after 4-5 mins of trying). i got in fast, requested 100's on my first pull, and got nothing. used "best available" after that. if there was anything good to be had, the bots got 'em all.
-
anyone get anything?
-
nope
-
Wow - Got in immediately. Asked for Main Concourse. Pulled 104 and threw 'em back. Tried "Best Available" ever since and still coming up empty. Just a presale. More on Friday. Damn that was fast though.
-
After 10 minutes I got two GA. My wallet hates me.
$ 147.70 for 2.
-
crap who got password pm me. I've been getting 100's for new york show. ;D
-
I've been getting 100's for new york show. ;D
not surprising - new york is cooler than DC. they are, like, SOOOO over the foos.
-
ok just pulled a floor for NY so I got it ;D
-
they're only doing one song from the first album?
-
I was pretty much over them until I heard Wasting Light. I liked the first two albums and then they basically started writing soundtracks for grocery stores. In Your Honor was pretty good... but the new one I can listen to all the way through, for the most part.
-
Wow, what a glowing recommendation. $147 for that. How much would you pay for a band you actually liked?

No, there are TWO other stadium shows in NYC, so lots of folks already have tix to something....
-
It's a a bargain, when compared to the Rolling Stones $400 price tag 5 or 6 years ago.
-
I did get section 113 after 10 minutes, which is right beside stage, but I only want floor GA. Have the two seats for insurance. As I said in other thread, this is effing nuts and it's sick that over 100 floor seats were up on stubhub by 10:15.
-

i guess your reading comprehension skills do not enable you to grasp that he does like them? a recap: liked the first two albums, didn't care for the next few, thought the penultimate (that's fancy-talk for "before last") was pretty good and now likes most of the last album. where in there do you read that he doesn't like the band?
-
PS, in both presale and general sale my group of five did NOT get GA tix for the Philly show. Does not bode well for DC, Grohl's hometown.
-
I remember bands like Van Halen, Queen, Rush, Aerosmith, etc. playing my local hockey arena growing up. Tickets were like $8-$10.
-
Keep tryin! After over 30 min I finally got 4 in section 102.
-
So he basically likes a couple of their albums, hates a few, and thinks a couple are ok. That's pretty tepid.
I could say the same thing about many bands, and pay $15 or less to see them.

Still pulling 100's for NY if anyone wants code, pm me ;D
never mind didn't realize same passcode

Ok, let me know next time Foo Fighters play at the Velvet Lounge. I'll gladly pay $15.
-
I just now pulled two section 106 (forgot to put floor in), so you can still get tix.
-
Why not just go to see the bands you like at the Velvet Lounge or other small venues? Wouldn't that keep you busy enough to avoid paying $147 to see a band in a hockey arena?

-
This was one out of two pre-sales, correct?
-
Is there another presale? I'm not aware -- this is the one that was announced by both 9:30 Club and Foos for their FB/fan club.
-
I love Wasting Light. And I'm looking forward to Social Distortion... If you don't want to go to this show why are you on this thread?
I am pissed I could not get floors.. I ended up buying some singles in the 100s for me and a few friends..
But I never had the option of Floor.. given there are 157 floors on Stubhub I would guess there were floors sold today. Oh well.
-
Wait a minute! Are we talking about the FOO FIGHTERS? Nirvana's drummer's "Ringo Starr and his All-Star Band?" THAT band? Jesus, what day is it? How long have I been asleep?!!?

Sometimes I splurge. Do you always buy the cheapest shoes in the store?

Hey wait a minute...Ringo is my favorite Beatle!! So what if he only wrote like, 2 songs? He MADE the Beatles. Those other drummers didn't have his boyish charm and cool fingerwear.

I buy my shoes at thrift stores, during 50% off holiday sales.

I think the more appropriate question is "have you ever spent $147 on something that I would not be interested in?"
-
I'm out. Pulled some 100s seats, but nothing within the first half of the arena. I can't buy tickets Friday because I'm working and won't be near a computer. Guess I'll have to try a day or 2 before the show to see what opens up or what I can find on Craigslist. Unless one of you miraculously have an extra Floor ticket. I promise I'll make it worth your while and buy you beer. Bombay knows I'm good for it!
-

It was a DC101 presale, too. Same password.
-
That makes SO much sense now. I knew something had to be up. It might as well have been a general sale then. I'd guess they put up a few more tickets than DAR can hold. Friday will likely be an easier grab for folks.
-
Ok - I knew multiple presales were going on but didn't know they were all rolled into one.
I didn't even try to get tix.
-
i also got an e-mail from the verizon center, inviting me to a "special venue presale". password: ROCK.
-
And it's true -- openers for this show are GREAT. Joy Formidable *tore it up* at Lolla on Sunday...
-

I know. It's pretty frustrating. This basically was the first of two general sales...they posted the shit on FB for crissake.
-
I wish there was this much demand when I was trying to sell my Caps vs. Tampa tickets back in the playoffs.
-
yeah..well now i feel a bit suckered.. oh well..
I'm still going to try to get floors tomorrow but i guess so will the rest of the world except for Brian Wallace and James Ford of course.. They'll be on this thread telling us how stupid we are.
-
nah, stupid is having your 401K and your kids college savings account based on the stock market...

what's wrong with blue chips? coca cola and johnson & johnson aren't going anywhere...

Shouldn't this be called the Social Distortion thread?

good luck beating inflation without equities, hope your kid enjoys UDC

Just found out I might not be able to use my GA for NY. I'll sell it to one of you nuts for face if that comes to be ;D
-

yes they did ;D
-
Keep checking if you still need tickets. I just picked up a pair in Section 120.
-
[deleted post]
-
I just found out about it here b/c I haven't received the email blast to my email address in almost two months. I could pull single tickets but not a pair in a decent area. My preference is to see them at a smaller venue so I'm still pondering and due to ticket price (which the tiers aren't too bad, I just can't afford right now).
-
Shouldn't this be called the Social Distortion thread?
Hope not. They were amazingly boring back in May.
-
verizon changed the seating chart to reflect runway .. looks like also a little stage at end of runway...
-
Sale page not coming up!?! (it's 10:03)
-
it's up. not getting anything
-
I pulled up 121 J then I opened another window to see if I can get better ticket. Then I was put back in que FUCK
-
I am ONLY getting the "Tickets Not Available" page!! Ditto for a friend in town. WHAT THE HELL
-
I also was on my laptop and it wasn't showing the sales page at all. Not sure what is up with that. The desktop showed tickets right at 10.
-
I'd like to venture a guess on the % of the house that is actually available to buy. I'd go about 35%.
-
This is ridiculous. The best I'm pulling is 400's
-
sale page did not come up on my laptop for a gruesome very paiful 30 seconds
went for 2 got 400s.. kicked back.. went for 2 got 200s befhind stage.. kicked them back.. went for 1 got 200 kicked back
-
all i'm getting now is behind the stage
-
HOLY EFF. Did not get in until 10:10 AT ALL, and of course no floor. GGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
-
how cann one person get in 5 times in 10 minutes or even more and another not get in at all?
i'm curious if anyone knows..
-
I'm not getting squat.
-
I'm STILL getting the "Tickets Not Available" page.
-
pulled floors no problem, but I'm good at ticketmaster
-
ok so what tickets did everyone get? ugh I should have just stuck with that 121 ticket
now I'm getting 400's looks like its done guys
-
Pulled 110 now. Probably as good as I'm gonna get :-\
-
just pulled 431 row q. that is the worst seat you can get in verizon center.
-
Getting behind the stage. Ugh. Not worth it.
-
i got a page refresh at 10:00 on the dot, but haven't been able to pull any 100 (what i'm requesting). twice i've asked for "best available", and only once was i offered anything: corner behind the stage, last row (M).
we had better offers during the presale - at least i was able to pull a few 100's and 200's, even if they were crappy.
i wonder if TM is holding back on the good seats until they sell off the 400's?
-
i just got offered the worse ticket ever.. section 421 row O
Fatskippy has good ticket kung fu
during the presale i got these
1 in 121 row Q
1 in 100 row g or somethig
1 in 101 row d
1 in 101 row h
unfortunately the person who asked me to get a ticket for him wants to sit together
priorities....
but this is an IMP event... doesn't IMP control whats on offer? I should think so...
-
You actually expect someone to be responsible? lol.
-
115 row Z...behind the stage?
-
I'm good at TM too, and this is first tour I've been so fucked.
PS, two of us on desktops had problem getting in. Not normal problem of "busy," but "Not Tickets Available" page -- a friend on a laptop is STILL not in.
-
And right now there are 1646 tickets on stubhub. Fuck me.
-
I got much better tix for AC/DC and Springsteen. WTF?
-
Like Bags, i kept refreshing and did not get the sales page up till about 10:10. Nothing good left by then.
-
Who knew, but thank goodness we went ahead and bought the 100s we pulled in the presale.
This is crazy, isn't it? Foo wasn't selling out Patriot Center last time they were here (which was a while ago, granted).
-
has Ticketfly bought Ticketmaster?
;D
-
This is crazy, isn't it? Foo wasn't selling out Patriot Center last time they were here (which was a while ago, granted).
No one wants to go to Fairfax
-
I got much better tix for AC/DC and Springsteen. WTF?
I KNOW! And what's crazy is we had 8 people trying for floor for the Philly show and didn't get them either. This is some batshit stuff...
-
i WOULDN'T be surprised if scalper agencies bombarded TM massively.. also i bet a lot of tickets went on presale wed..
but doesn't Verizon center hold like 25,000 people?
I just can't believe it
-
I'm still trying as we've all seen the good seats pop up 30, 40 minutes in, but dudes I gotta get back to work!!!
-
And right now there are 1646 tickets on stubhub. Fuck me.
great. that number should continue to climb for the next few hours. early signs of over-scalping.
has Ticketfly bought Ticketmaster?
;D
cute :D
-
How is it that when I'm on the site exactly at 10 and I ask for one GA ticket absolutely nothing comes up. Totally gone. Did they really sell out the floor in the pre-sales? WTF? Bite me, TM.
-
I'm getting nosebleed 400s or limited view back-of-stage. I'm going to wait until the last minute to see if I can get a ticket somewhere in the 200's for like $20 and fuck Ticketmaster. And sorry, but fuck the management for the bands. They should have given fans an opportunity other than some fake-ass presale which may as well have been a general sale.
-

Demand > Supply? And if you're spending the time specifying which section you want in the drop down menu, you've already lost.
-
Ok I just went ahead and bought a ticket I got section 217 Row A, not as good as 121 damn it but oh well ;D
-
I guess you can attribute some of it to being the summertime. Usually a Friday 10am sale is not going to work for all the high schoolers.
-
228 looks like the best I can do right now.
-

Only one person on this board even got floor in the presale (I'm pretty sure, maybe two but I don't think so....). ???
-
send an e-mail to Ted Leonsis. I'm pretty sure he runs ticketmaster in DC now.
-
I believe Fatskippy and Driveway both got floors... I could be misremembering
Fatskippy needs to post his "Rules of good Ticket Kungfu" manifesto...
-

time? It was 2 extra clicks. No the idea that a particular area as large as the floor was completely gone the moment it went on sale is suspect, and fucking annoying. It was the ticket I wanted. I'm not going to spend $71 to be in a seat at a Foos show. Just ain't worth it. Hence -- see ya next time, somwhere else, Foos ...
-
the foo fighters own this
they could and should have made the floor and 100s paperless..
-
Hell, I even got tickets for Matador 21 festival last year! THAT was easier than Foo floor tix.
-
something ain't right when GA and lower concourse sell out in the 1st five minutes of a presale. If that is the case and demand is so great, why not add more shows?
-
Just be patient and wait until the week of the show. I predict there will be a glut if tickets available from both the scalpers and TM.
-
I believe Fatskippy and Driveway both got floors... I could be misremembering

I did, some how... After throwing back several pairs in the 400s. Are GA not considered 'best available' ? I think I entered floor seating to get them.
-
Agree with Eros. But I'm still annoyed and disgusted that bands are still out of touch with a hardcore fan base that I do think deserves a little more attention. It's easy to go the paperless route and ensure that hardcore fans (at the very least someone like Bags) gets a fair crack at a really good seat. I'm not saying that I don't approve of Capitalism. I don't care for these charades that make it seem like we are having a fair chance at something that isn't even there. It's pretty clear what's going on here.

some ticketmaster tips:
-have a fast connection (obviously)
-be able to time ticketmaster with time.gov, tickets usually go up for sale 4 to 5 seconds past the hour
-don't refresh the page where you buy the tickets, notice how much longer it takes to load when you do that vs. how quickly the page loaded when you entered from the listing of venues and dates?
-have ticketmaster.ca as a back up on another browser in case the show isn't loading for you
-only 1 of the 2 captcha words is the one you need to type, if you see one with any characters other than letters (a comma, period, upside down letters, etc), that one ain't it
And for the love of god, quit complaining about ticketmaster and different conspiracies, you sound like an idiot. Notice how many tickets are already on stubhub? There are a lot of scalpers out there, both professional and amateur. These people are much better at ticketmaster than you and will beat you to the punch every time unless you practice and see what works and what doesn't work to improve your speed.
-
Didn't know about the one word capatcha tip. Thanks for that.
I think the reason a lot of people are angry is not because scalpers are better at working the website than we are, it's that they are often in cahoots with the venue and TM (but in this case not the promoter I'm sure). Tons of the tickets held by the scalpers never got a chance to go to the public.

dude I'm 49 y.o. I've been working tmaster on my work computer for years, decades. Believe me I know how to do it. No, something went amiss this time around. Anyhow. Back to work.

well I'm the one who asked for the tips!
thanks.. ;D
-
Really regret letting go of that 121 ticket. Settled on 228, which looks pretty decent. Oh well. I've never seen the Foos at all (but I did see Everlong at the 30th anniversary show) so I'm psyched. Wasting Light is one of their best.
-
Ditto to gardener. But, you know, worse things to worry about. Will pay the effing scalping motherfuckers and be on the floor with a lot of other folks who paid NOT THE BAND I love $140, but douchebags.
PS, thanks for the superfan shoutout bearman. ;)

well that probably explains why my AOL dialup didn't pull up tickets ;D
-

Never thought of that one. Are there any other problems or restrictions related to that? Does that happen to bypass the regular queue?
-
Gaaaaah, it this helps, I just saw them at Lolla and was pretty far over to the side. Further than you could be any place in Verizon. And it was still completely awesome. You'll love it if you love rock. ;)
-
Nice. Good to know.
Considering all those behind stage tickets I was pulling for a while, 228 is fine by me.
-

I let go of 121 as well. Well I opened up another window to get a better ticket and that screwed everything up. I was on the checkout for 121 but I just wanted to see if I could get a better ticket, ugh
-
What cracks me up is that Ticketbastard blocks you after a while if you just keep trying and throwing back seats. I'm blocked from the Canadian site too. And I'm someone who actually wants to see the show and not just make a buck.
-

Just curious....but why would you let go of a 121 ticket? There aren't many better seats than those, unless you were just holding out for floor.
-

They were awesome at Lolla I was right up front on the barrier that show. Closest I've been for a Foo show ;D
-
i don't like to feed scalpers but 115$ for instant download floor on stubhub
i paid $77 or $78 for singles in the 100s..
I'd say the Floor is worth the premium...
-

There are no problems or restrictions, I've bought off ticketmaster.ca many times. A few years ago when ticketmaster.com switched over to the difficult captchas, ticketmaster.ca didn't make the switch for a few months. I was absolutely killing it during that time with the quality of tickets I pulled. I don't believe it will bypass the queue though.
-

Oh I'm asking myself this now as well. But at the time, there just had to be better seats.
115 for Stubhub floor really isn't that bad. I'm not buying, but thats way lower than expected.
-
Who here has had seats in the 200's before, how are they? Only been to a few shows at Verizon and they ware floor or far opposite side of stage ;D
-

200s are great. I think those are club level. Better food, shorter lines, fewer people to deal with, etc.
-
I got 123 in presale and kept 'em. Always take seats like that becuase you can ALWAYS sell them...
-
Who here has had seats in the 200's before, how are they? Only been to a few shows at Verizon and they ware floor or far opposite side of stage ;D
200s are great. I think those are club level. Better food, shorter lines, fewer people to deal with, etc.
sounds awesome, I'm very excited for the show even though I hate the Verizon center ;D
-
So is anyone else here skeptical of getting paperless tickets via stubhub? They can be duplicated or sold more than once, and how would you know. Hard tickets go for higher prices...($10-20 more).
-
Stubhub might as well be Ticketmaster. I don't foresee any issues buying off of them other than they're just gouging you for something that you should have had an easier chance at paying face value for. Sorry, can you tell I'm annoyed? :)

fyi those aren't paperless... paperless is when you swipe your credit card to get in the venue.
what they sell on SH are print-at-home (AKA PDFs, TicketFast, etc). you can trust them from stubhub.
-
Right, I know, print at home. Sorry, but glad folks knew what I meant...
-
they've just released a bunch of 100's - behind the stage (115 - 188) ::)
perfect if you wanna check out dave's ass all night.
-
Just sayin'...

And for the love of god, quit complaining about ticketmaster and different conspiracies, you sound like an idiot. Notice how many tickets are already on stubhub? There are a lot of scalpers out there, both professional and amateur. These people are much better at ticketmaster than you and will beat you to the punch every time unless you practice and see what works and what doesn't work to improve your speed.
normally i'd agree with this, but i got a good refresh at 10:00:00, and had my request in by 10:00:04... and got nothing. i'm plenty fast on TM and i know i got a good first pull - and got nothing. no way this thing was sold out in 4 seconds.

Foos page on FaceBook is not a happy place. Hope someone in their shop sees the many comments...

I've never been to a great sounding show at Verizon...
well, except for the George Michael show couple years back...
-
Being their first real DC show in years and the last show added to the tour couldn't have helped the ticket process.

They just put in a new sound system in July that is supposedly designed better acoustically for the arena.

I was there last week for Taylor Swift (hey, it was free) and it didn't sound noticeably different than earlier in the year.

Interesting, I was there for the Kalachakra event and it also didn't sound too different. But I was reserving judgment for something other than Tibetan Folk songs.
-
Was this before or after Sade? Friends of mine saw that show and said the sound was bad.
-
in a foo fighters threads, hell just in general . . . nobody's going to bust a single ball for going to taylor swift, even if it was free?

Seems like most of you forgot about this ticket fiasco. At least people pulled tickets - and whining about not getting better ones. I never understand why someone doesnt just take a good one, and if need be, sell it.
Anyway at least this gave me a good laugh. And at least its not their last show - and you have plenty of other options (places) to see them.
-
I threw three sets of tickets back and then got GA #56-57 on the floor.
By the way, why are they numbered? GA or is it floor seating with numbers?
And the worst part is now I am waiting to find out if my family has a wedding that day. If so I will sell them here for face value.

I got a floor ticket for LCD the week before the show as they released more tickets ;D

they're numbered for inventory purposes only. there will be no chairs on the floor for the foos, all standing/dancing/pogoing/fist-pumping/etc.

you dare compare the queen of rock, pat benatar to taylor swift? and if you even breathe how many records taylor has sold . . . my litter box paw will be all up in your face.
-
Dortiz, if you can't make it, can I be the first in line to buy them?
-
Has anyone tried the live nation app for their smart phone? Sounds like its a new tool to get tickets, I wonder if its quicker than a normal computer. I saw this post on the FF board:
"If you have a smart phone the app for Ticketmaster/Live Nation is awesome for GA tickets. Just saying.
Got my GA for DC using the Livenation app even though its promoted by IMP for this show."
-
i wonder if they set tickets aside for mobile app users...
-
Another bit I read:
"wondering if there is a dedicated ticketmaster app for the droid platform and more importantly the droid x. im not sure if some of these apps are device specific. reason im asking is im getting my X tomorrow and need to purchase tickets friday morning. tickets are alot easier to acquire using the ticketmaster app on my blackberry vs. using the ticketmaster site and getting thrown in the pool with the masses and hoping for the best...ive gotten great tix for just about every show using the blackberry app vs. the ticketmaster website. any insight would be much appreciated as this is coming up very quickly between receiving the phone and ticket buying time friday morning. thanks in advance!"

Phillidan,
you bet. I am trying to find out this week which Friday in Nov they booked. Who gets married in Nov and on a Friday??
-

I've used it, but not for big on-sale days. I'm no fan of LN, but it's a nice app.
One thing that's interesting - Once you buy tickets (either online or via the app), the app takes away the "Find Tickets" option when you search for that show. It replaces it with a "My Ticket Info" button. You can't even search for tix any longer. Maybe there's a way around that though.
I wish TicketFly had something so nice. *ahem*

My parents got married on a Friday--in JANUARY! So it happens....

Even though she's barely out of Chris Hanson range, Taylor Swift A.) Writes her own songs. They may be tired, hokey and cliched. But they're hers and B.) She's really classically beautiful. Maybe not Grace Kelly or Tommy Stinson hot but...Charlize Theron-hot:

Taylor Swift looks like too much of retard to be considered hot.
-
Sometimes I think she's hot, sometimes not at all. it's strange. I'm also two weeks older than her, so it doesn't feel creepy.
And, overly teenage girl lyrical content aside, she writes great melodies. I wouldn't expect her to be any good in concert though.
-
zero comments from anyone at IMP or on the Foo Fighters facebook. I guess they are all at the bank or still in bed with the scalpers.
-
Were you expecting a comment? It's not like this is a rare occurrence.
-

i'll defer to your knowledge since i believe you're from the area but according to wikipedia, berks country is included in the greater philadelphia area - i.e. not in pennsyltucky. i'm sure it's one of those "it depends who you ask" questions...

Yes. I saw the exact same map which includes Lancaster county as NOT being in "Pennsyltucky." REALLY?! If Lancaster (home of the AMISH) ISN'T considered part of "rural" Pensylvania than all that you read on Wikipedia may not be as true as you think.

Walkie....did you join the military yet?
A great business opportunity right now would be to open a tailor/alteration place right outside every military base in the country....because there's no way our gay soldiers, sailors and airmen will accept the ill fitting shrouds they call uniforms that get issued.
