it's on sale now.  a lot of times things don't become active exactly at 10.
 
 I LOVE the 9.15$ convenience charge on those morrissey tickets.
 
 no way in hell i'd pay $70.   i paid $70 for a ticket to the ENTIRE weekend of the austin city limits festival.
 
 i did, however, get pixies tickets this morning (for norfolk).

I got 5th row at 10:02.

Post by: Bags on August 20, 2004, 10:22:00 am
5th row where -- floor?  
 
 I couldn't get in until 10:11.  My bad, I'm looking for 8 tickets, so we were getting the very back sections, and aren't doing it.  Waiting until tomorrow.  It's better now for 2 -- section C, for instance.

You can still get pretty good seats for 2...not floor.

I was on immediately when tickets went onsale, approx. 10:05.  How is it possible that all tickets Orch through Box sets were sold out....
 
 Question... Since this was a presale.... do they hold tickets for the actual sale tomorrow????
Title: Re: Morrissey PreSale
Post by: Bags on August 20, 2004, 11:13:00 am
yup, they sure do, and you can definitely get Orchestra tomorrow.  Just way more people trying...
Title: Re: Morrissey PreSale
Post by: Bombay Chutney on August 20, 2004, 11:14:00 am
Not all of the tickets are available during the presale.  I'll bet only a few rows in each section were made available.  There will be good seats available tomorrow as well.
Title: Re: Morrissey PreSale
Post by: Bags on August 20, 2004, 11:16:00 am
Skeeter...er, um....Chutney, did you try for presale tickets?
Title: Re: Morrissey PreSale
Post by: TomJaworski on August 20, 2004, 11:21:00 am
And what's with the seating?  I ordered three tix and it says I have seats 124-128?  I've never been to Dar so not sure how seating works there.  Anyone have any info?
Title: Re: Morrissey PreSale
Post by: chancegardener on August 20, 2004, 11:25:00 am
ummm ...anyone willing to reveal what the presale password is, pleeeez??
Title: Re: Morrissey PreSale
Post by: Bags on August 20, 2004, 11:25:00 am
Seats are numbered evenly on the right and oddly on the left.  So if you're Orchestra, Section 4, your 3 seats might be 122, 124 and 126.  Section 5 would be 121, 123, 125.  All the seats in the middle two sections of the orchestra are in the 100s.

I tried a few times starting around 10:10.  It came up with the back of the floor (T, U, then GG), then up on the sides.  I didn't get tickets.  I'll try again tomorrow.

Yes, 5th floor (orchestra).  I used the Morrisey Music password that was emailed to me (which was not the same as the 9:30 one).  Maybe there were different ticket allotments for the different presales?

It was in the weekly e-mail newsletter sent out Wednesday evening. Double-check your spam blocker settings. The newsletter seems to always get trapped in mine and then I have to retrieve it.

I'm left out. :/
 
 Can't afford the Moz ticket prices this time around, but perhaps by the time Sept. 29th rolls around, I might be able to and no worries, I think I may be able to snag one ticket on the day of the show.
 
 I console myself with the fact that I've seen Moz three times in the past, and also, I'd love to see him in a general admission venue instead, and with a setlist not so heavy on "You Are The Quarry."
 
 What else can I say?  I'm trying to make myself feel better here.  ;)
 
 Cheers
 
 DJ Medusa.

I used both passwords and was getting tickets in the back. I don't think the password you used mattered, just how quickly you got on. PreSales don't usually get you better seats, just an easier process.
