why doesn't someone contact tickets.com?

Should I tip pitchfork about the show ?

  Ok, here goes. Since this has been asked 11 times and not answered once:
 
 WHEN YOU ARE IN THE VIRTUAL WAITING ROOM DO YOU SIT TIGHT OR KEEP REFRESHING?

From Tickets.com: You should sit tight.  It shows you how many seconds the page will refresh in.

Well, I wouldn't really expect tickets.com to say "Keep hitting "refesh" as fast as possible."
 
 I can refresh the page about 100 times in the 30 seconds it takes the waiting room to refresh it.  But does that help my chances or hurt them?

What I wonder is, "If everyone who needs just one ticket buys just one ticket, won't all we listees have a better chance to see the show?"
 
 This concerns me particularly because of the potential "stubs only, no reselling around the corner scenario."  If you wanted to pass on the ticket at, face and fees, to another listee, how do you do it without a shortlist of contact numbers, code words, etc.
 
 We have multiple people offering generously to pass on their extras but no real way for an  assignment/hierarchy system.  What is Kosmo's extra is promised to Bags who's also on Eddie's list along with a reciprocal trade agreement with Charlie, etc.
 
 Lastly, any official word on direct 9:30 Club telephone sales at 10:00am?
 
 Cheers,

I'm by no means an expert in game theory, but I have seen the movie A Beautiful Mind and I think it's likely a Nash equilibrium with improved group efficiency is possible through cooperative ticket purchasing.      
 P.S. I have a board buddy that I'm teaming up with.

You are likely correct, I would love if they just made the policy one ticket per person but I don't want to enrage those who feel as though they must go to a show with someone though if they only had a single ticket they would certainly be going with lots of people.  I nearly always only buy one ticket for just about ever gig I attend, but that's just me I have zero problem heading to gigs alone, because once you walk through the door that ceases to be the case.

i went to asheville alone, i wouldn't have a problem with going to 930 alone (which it's not like i haven't done this many times), if i can get a ticket.

[superfuzz33]

I'd go myself but...people traveling there from say Pittsburgh, like myself, have a 3 and a half hour drive back...and doing it yourself at when its 1AM kinda blows.

  If my Dylan quasi-secret show experience at getting tickets is any portent, then I'd expect we all roughly have a 1 in 3 chance of getting a ticket.

Dylan fans move a little slower and aren't frothing at the mouth like this crowd.
 I just need a single as well.

We do not do direct telephone sales, never have, never will. That's what Tickets.com is for.

[MistressKelly]

Well I go to almost all shows (9:30 and otherwise) alone.  Invariably when I buy more than one ticket, someone bails on me.  I end up being the petulant one standing out front.

Perhaps the more accurate question would be if Tickets.com phone orders will be available for this show, but I guess if they were they would come from the same pool and thus evaporate by 10:00 and 30 seconds?

[MistressKelly]

Well, I called the Tickets.com 800 number and they said they didn't have the show listed in their system for phone sales.  The woman seemed very nice, but a little shaky on the logistics of the show.  "You could try the venue box office... (closed 'til noon)  Maybe it's just an internet sale."  (More likely)
 
 Le sigh,

i've done that plenty of times, driving home from chapel hill.
 
 i've driven anywhere from 4-6 hours after a show, but i just can't do that stuff anymore.
 
 3 hours after-show is where i have to draw the line anymore..
