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.

send an email to andi@930.com and you'll be on the email list.

Done. Thanks, Debaser!

the password is: thankgodsonicyouthisn'tplaying
i hate going to a show, just to see the opener. for sonic tooth, i do anything, though.

snausages -- check your PMs

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

if anyone could provide me with the password as well, it'd be much appreciated!!
-
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 have decided on going to 3 Doors Down instead of the Pixies...

Great....logged on right at 10 and used the presale......tickets were STARTING in the double digits for the main pavilion....I nabbed 2 and then kept going back on to see what was available and the system was giving me BETTER ticks as the presale continued!......What the hell??.....So,the secret is not to order right away??......Wait 10 or 15 minutes??......Crazy.....
-
for some odd reason i thought yesterday was friday... this is what happens when you stay home sick and play gamecube for two days..
and the last pixies presale went oddly too....
-
Man, I was gonna go, but i spent my last $5 just to get the presale password!!! damnit. (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=47103&item=5577174796&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW)

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.

Thanks, but I found a pair last week.

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.
-
well shit i knew there was somethign i was needing to get up for. i totally forgot about the presale.
don't like the ticket i pulled up. guess i'll hope for better luck with the regular onsale.

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....

is the presale more money? ticketmaster has the tickets listed at $40 but the 930 site has them $8 cheaper:

You need to register, but it's free and they still have great seats left.

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
-
Are you sure?
According to the seating chart (http://www.merriweathermusic.com/gen_seating.html) that is in the "orchestra."

you'll be able to light kim deal's cigarettes.

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 :)
