Dwight Yoakam
Lyle Lovett
Johnny Cash (just go with it -- assume two years before death)
Aaron Neville
Eric Clapton

So we have 8 immediate family member who wanted to go. The site did not say what the limit would be.  So I bought two tickets and immediately asked my wife to buy two.  She got online and bought two tickets.  OK, Great so far.  Then she got an email a little while later showing REFUND of the price of two tickets?  What the....??????!!!!!!! She used with a different name and credit card (but same mailing address.)  We are not scalpers!! just a family who has listed to Graceland 1 million times!

Ticketnazi can't tell the difference between scalpers and people who have listened to an album a million times I'm afraid.

On the bright side this is proof they do try to avoid scalpers getting tickets.

You know, that honestly never occured to me. But... you're probably right and... I'm probably a retard.

Although he did tour with NIN in the past.

On the other hand.....any artist of any quality who is allegedly coming to south FL means it's probably an April 1st prank anyway

I had two tickets cancelled too.... schradach sent me the disclaimer (i emailed him to ask him about it after buying the second "household" set) which i missed i don't know why. .i looked for it..

basically my wife bought two yesterday through amex presale. .. i bought two this morning to help out some people with poor ticket kungfu who i knew would get zilch (and they did!)- friends of ours- who want to go bad...i thought about it long and hard before confirming purchase but i could not find anything saying two different people who lived together couldn't buy them..


but it got cancelled pretty quick... i'm just glad the amex presale ones did not get cancelled..my wife would be so ticked off..

what i saw said "2 per order" not "2 per order, household, " etc.. but schradach sent me the fine print and its in there

i'm still a bit nervy that they'll cancel the other ones but i don't think so..

You could just call this guy:
http://cgi.ebay.com/2-TICKETS-PAUL-SIMON-930-CLUB-9-30-WASHINGTON-DC-5-27-/200593196206?pt=US_Tickets_all_in_one&hash=item2eb44944ae#ht_1506wt_1141

But on a serious note, kudos to Seth and co. for doing all this to at least try to keep scalpers out. $50 ticket price concerned me at first, because I was expecting them to cost way more, but it looks like they're actually following through on some of these anti-scalper threats. Obviously it remains to be seen what pops up on Stubhub/Craigslist, but so far it's a good sign.
