Fleet Foxes Ticket Fiasco

[kosmo vinyl]

Well you certainly would have gotten more sympathy from the regulars had you laid out the entire story, however the choice to use Topspin was more than likely made by the band. An IMP presale would have been done  via TM.  Have you aired your concerns via an FF forum or even Facebook?

does anyone know when the box office will open on Sunday?

[sweetcell]

doors are at 6:30, so at a minimum the box office will be open by then

the show is all seated - what's the rush to get tickets?  did you re-sell them, so you need to deliver them ASAP?

[savoytruffle]

I got the Fleet Foxes presale tickets which are in an undetermined location (read earlier in the thread).  I figure they'll give the best tickets away first which is why I'm wondering when the box office is opening. 

anyone have any helpful info?

[sweetcell]

what, the 6:30 doors info wasn't helpful?  at least you know you shouldn't arrive any later than that.

you might want to try asking in the FAQ section of this board.  that's typically where staff answer such logistical questions.

doesn't work that way...they will sort it in the afternoon. By the time box office is open, your tickets are already in the envelopes.

@sweetsell, no not very helpful, to be honest.  but the suggestion of asking the FAQ section was kinda, so you're 1 for 2 I guess.  Thanks anyway, you're a gem     

@Vas Deferens, I'm sorry to ask but are you sure about that?  The very first sentence of the FAQ on Topspin about how the tickets will be distributed says, "Tickets are assigned on a first-come, first-serve basis...".

@savoy: maybe they mean whoever bought the tickets first during the preseale will get better seats? I honestly cannot imagine DAR giving out tickets at the door strictly for the people who bought tickets during the presale. do let us know the day after.

Mr. Deferens,

As it turns out, you are correct, sir.  My apologies for ever doubting you. 

[savoytruffle]

FYI, I ended up with three seats in row B.  Amazing show. 

[Vas Deferens]

nice!  seeing them next week I hope

Mr. Deferens,

you may thank the vas deferens or apologize for being wrong to the vas deferens . . . but never ever word it so that the vas deferens's ego gets all inflated.

t'was my first time see FF, and i was damn impressed.  i definitely prefer them live to recorded.

[Driveway]
