Tickets went on sale today at 10am, I expected less than a stellar turn out because a tour was just announced on Tuesday and ticket on sale date was announced late Wednesday. I got in at 10am and got a pair of fifth row seats on the floor (:woohoo:). Pairs are going all around the "bowl" seating now, and it's all over the place, three rows up on the right. Eight rows up looking at the stage from the other side of the venue, box 18, section C row K, etc.

Fees are $14 per ticket

I just want something I can ignore.

Managed to grab ORCH, row C, seat 125.  Not too bad. 

I must be itching for shows...that was a pricey ticket!

y'all did better than me, i ended up with center orch row M.  for some reason the TM page didn't refresh for me until about 10:01.  the delay probably explains why i didn't get better seats, not that i'm unhappy with 12th row.

Does anyone else feel like Stuart is like Thom Yorke's super happy alter ego?

I think they have a very similar kind of energy and persona live, except that Stuart is super happy and Thom is, well, not.

You should be writing for NME.

Well, they only tour every four years. That was my justification.

I got row FF in Orchestra though i went on at 10:01.. Seems like I got the worst of anyone.

Another thing.  Why would anyone pay to get the tickets instantly via pdf when you can get them mailed to you for free?   It seems like it is costing Ticketmaster a lot more money to mail them to you anyway.

ORCH Row E here.

did everyone get singles or pairs?

Homeless people.

i got a pair.  sound like nkotb got a single.

not sure that mailing is "a lot more money".  TicketFast = a lot of infrastructure (servers, integration with a person's online account, extra databases, etc) + TM is probably paying for the rights to license the technology from someone, i doubt they developed TicketFast. 

i also suspect some marketing genius thought "print-at-home = convenience + immediate gratification, so people will pay extra for that!", i.e. the pricing has nothing to do with cost.

did you grab the first tickets you pulled?  i would have tossed those back and tried again.  can't do much worse!
