Why have presales? Isn't that a bit elitist? (of course it is, this is America)
 
 If it's to get tickets to the fans, wouldn't it make more sense to have pre-sales for people who aren't fans so they can hopefully become fans? The existing fans will get tickets anyway, either when they go on general sale or via a scalper.
 
 When I become a member of the next "it" band I won't have a presale...markie can camp out all night like the rest of the sad twats!   :p

the best thing about pre-sales is you cannot go to an outlet to access them. Therefore you have to pay the full ticketmaster (tm) service charge, cool huh?

Jerrinna, you are a STAR!!  Thanks.

i was on the ticketmaster webpage looking for info on the smith center, and as i was reading, i came across this person to call if i need special seating arrangements:  contact gilma cockram

[Bags]

Yeah, this whole pre-sale thing is really beginning to get ludicrous.  I tend to know about them because, well, this is my primary 'hobby' so I spend a lot of time on it, but I think it's crappy that fans who aren't perhaps *the* most fervent could get screwed.
 
 Thank god 96% of the bands I like don't usually even sell out, much less bother with pre-sales.

Imagine being a Brit over here when bands that sell out large venues in minutes over there can hardly fill the 930...now that's a treat.

 You're right, we *so* don't get Robbie Williams....
 
 kidding, Mankie, kidding!!

I don't know if any one else got it, but I just got an email from 9:30 saying:
 
 "Elephant," the new release by The White Stripes is quickly being heralded as one of the best albums of the year. The peppermint-popular duo Jack and Meg White proved at Coachella that they've got a great live show.
 
 Tickets go on sale Saturday, June 7 @ 11am through Ticketmaster, but you're getting them first!
 
 Presale Starts Thursday, June 5 @ 10am-Friday June 6 @10pm
 Password is : candycane
 
 It appears that it is a different password. Just thought I would let you all know. It also contained the password for Placebo.

I was just about to post the same info.  I suppose we should be well armed with two pre-sale passwords!
