  1. I go to a zillion shows at Webster, as recently as the Modest Mouse show, which was a similar, although smaller CF. When the show is 100% will call, there are two people who work the door with paper lists. No scanning. I've seen people get in with ID only (like my Amex was replaced once and they didn't give me crap because at least I had ID) and I have seen them turn away people with photocopies of cards when people got all "you can't tell me I can't come in, I have a copy of the ID these were purchased with" and were generally rude. I was behind two kids who had mom's card and ID and the kid had her own ID so that worked for them.

     

    I was also behind someone who read the list upside down gave a name with a 1 next to it and said their girlfriend had their ID in her purse inside. He commented as he went inside that whoever the person was who he pretended to be was going to be pissed. He may have been screwing around though, I actually felt more like he was a friend of the guy at the door and it was for show for the other door person so his friend could get in.

     

    The long and short of it is there are two people in charge of the process and if it starts going downhill, being 1000% apologetic and asking what you can do is going to help get you past them Being a demanding dick and starting a pissing match is going to insure you don't get in. Welcome to NYC.

     

    Does anyone know how they usually check the credit cards for entry? Do I just need to show it to them or does it have to be scanned or something?

     

    I'm asking because my number was stolen two days before I bought the tickets, so I had to close down that card. I'm guessing it's not a problem if I still bring that card, but since that number's not in use anymore, I don't know.

  2. I am more reliable. I would love more to go. If something about the person below makes you wary, vote for giving me the ticket!

    (kidding, don't want to undermine the person who saw this first and responded first!)

     

    hello, very generous offer. I have been a huge Muse fan for years. I am a reliable NYC resident and would love to go. Certainly willing to pay a reasonable extra fee and/or buy drinks. Please let me know and thanks
  3. See earlier comments about photos of ID and credit card. Of course I say this because I am in NYC - but I like when shows like this can only be purchased by local residents. KROQ does it for Almost Acoustic Christmas, etc.

     

    Whoever buys those is gonna be screwed. they're non-transferable.
  4. I am in that unfortunate place where I couldn't get two tickets but my friend offered me her second, and so I really want to get my husband a ticket so I feel like less of an a-hole

     

    Speaking of - who are these people who are selling tickets obtained yesterday on Craigslist for a lot of money? I'm a fan and never sell for more than face value. It is bad karma.

     

    I've been trying for hours, and so far, no.

    Not out of the realm of possibility, but very, very unlikely.

  5. It is a gamble, I've had duplicate orders cancelled just one set and both orders. You may want to call and ask

     

    I wound up getting tickets, as did my wife, but both sets are under my name. Will this be an issue? We got both confirmation emails so I am hoping it is OK.

     

    What is everyone expecting out of this? Wl it be similar in length and set list as the smaller venue UK shows?
