Almost 30 minutes in. This is looking hopeless.

I can't believe I missed the pre-sale because of my endoscopy. Just my luck.

I hope you're right, sweetcell.

disgusting.

i love how it asks me to select best available or any price when it's all GA and FREE!!!  I know, it's just a canned program but pisses me off each time!  Damn this was total BS!  so, is it sold out?  if so, why doesn't TM say?

[serpent boy]

Has anyone else who is still trying snagged tickets yet?

TM never advertises "sold out" on any shows (or at least i've never seen it do that before). If you're getting the screen that says "sorry, we couldnt find the tickets you wanted", then yeah thats how you know.

I know a few ppl who got them this morning, but I wasn't one of them.

[aims]

still trying, but getting the "no exact matches found..."

[wml7]

I think by this point if people can't pull up tickets then it's sold out.

[Chulahoma]

i got two  (SWEET!) but i got confused and did the will call...shit..

can i still get them at the 930 club or does that mean only at the merriweather?? that could be terrible

you can get them at the club too, but i know that there is a certain time frame that you have to pick them up by or they will release them to the public.

I'm sorry that everyone did not get what they wanted. But I bet you can pick up tickets for at around $20 at stubhub, craigslist, ticketking, ebay, etc.. easily. Plus a few hours before the show, there are scalpers hanging around the paviliion, which you can buy from for cheap, I hope, otherwise no one would buy them. It's so sad that it is sold out after 3 minutes, because of the nature of the scalpers. I went to stubhub, and saw a seller who had 50 (FIFTY) tickets to sell at $99.00 each, that is just disgusting. The whole nature of scalping is just plain disgusting, and ruins for the fun for everyone. One person was selling 7 tickets at $700.00 each! Of course no one is going to buy the 700 tickets, because it's not even worth $700 haha to go to the concert.

I'm just curious to know what the hell kind of program these scalpers uses to get all these tickets.  I can barely get past the word identifier thing without messing up at least once.

The last free show I couldn't get tickets to was the DC 101 holiday show at the 9:30 club a year or two ago. The free show cost me $80 for two tickets on CL. It was still worth it.
