Title: Pixies Pre-sale
Post by: snausages on April 27, 2005, 05:47:00 pm
Ticketmaster is reporting that the Pixies 9:30 presale is this Friday (April 29) from 10-10.  Although I've made repeated requests to join the 9:30 mailing list, I still have not received anything.  Sooo, I was wondering if some kind person out there might be so kind as to PM the presale password to me (or post it, but I know that can be contentious).  I'd be very grateful!!!
 
 I also visited KCRW.Com (the other sponsor offering a presale to the show) a few days ago to see about subscribing so as to get the presale password from them, but it seems you have to pay to subscribe to their mailing list, which I'm not too excited about.
 
 Thanks!

Sorry, I'm an idiot, I checked again and it IS possible to sign up for free to the KCRW.Com mailing list (although it's still probably too late to get the Pixies presale password).  If you're interested, go to KCRW.Com and click where it says "KCRW Email Updates/Sign Up Here".  I was originally clicking above that where it says "subscribe", which is the thing you have to pay for - the email update is free.

I, too am having difficulty tracking down the presale password for the Merriweather Post show.  Anyone feeling charitable?
 
 Thanks!

I'm in the "need the password" club as well! I thought I was on the 930 mailing list, but I guess not, as I didn't hear anything...

Count me in on the 'desperate for a pre-sale password' list. Thought I was on the mailing list too but I can't find a copy anywhere.   :(

I thought the presale went very smoothly. Probably because there are a lot more available seats at MPP than at the 9:30.
 
 I had the same experience as Jonas, but I was going for floor seats or bust and just kept searching until I got them.  There seemed to be a lot of good seats available.

If you try again tomorrow morning during the regular sale you probably have a decent chance of getting pit tickets.

Yeah, last time they played, I tried 4 or 5 hours after the presale started and wound up with row 6 seats.  
 
 GGW, I think I remember you needing a ticket to the Decemberists show...is that true?  Cuz I've got one.

I got row L but have decided to just wait it out in the general sale. Call me spoiled...I was in row D both nights at DAR and row E in Philly.

Same here.  Came up with Row P and threw 'em back.  I'm very picky when it comes to MPP.

That's pretty ballsy.....you may have ended up with row TT possibly if those seats would have evaporated......I tried to go back in and see what was available,but already purchased my seats....I may try later....

I was only going to get a ticket if I could get in the orchestra or the first few rows.  So I see Row AAA and go for it and then realized after the fact that its the front row of the side section DOH!  Which might be great for some people but Im not too into it.  Anyone who wants to reimburse me for my costs for the ticket feel free to message me haha
Title: Re: Pixies Pre-sale
Post by: ggw on April 29, 2005, 12:39:00 pm
Are you sure?
 
 According to the seating chart (http://www.merriweathermusic.com/gen_seating.html) that is in the "orchestra."

Thanks for looking out, I was using this seating chart to reach my conclusion as it said I had Row AAA in the L FLR section, I would assume if it was the front row it would be marked ORCH or something similar:

Oh, I see now.
 
 There are different seating charts depending on whether the floor is "reserved" or "general"
 
 Here is the seating chart (http://www.merriweathermusic.com/images/reserved1.jpg) for the "reserved floor" Pixies show.

Thanks GGW.
 Actually...after seeing that I guess my seat isnt so bad after all from the map I posted I thought I was all the way out on the side, well nevermind I rescind my offer.

I'm pretty happy with my seat...Kim Deal is definitely going to be getting a kiss blown from me  :)
