jdog44 Posted December 17, 2009 Author Share Posted December 17, 2009 This petition is meaningless. It is not Muse's fault that tickets are going through Ticketbastard. The venues at which they choose to play select the vendor. Suggesting that they play alternate venues is useless, as Ticketbastard is used at pretty much every major venue. Muse would be unable to tour here if they stood strictly against Ticketbastard - see what happened to Pearl Jam: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ticketmaster#Prominent_lawsuits Also, it's an online petition. And those are nearly always successful, right? +1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

January Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 Thanks for the tip about waiting 10 minutes! That's saving me so much time. Still waiting for GA tickets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdietzen Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 If anyone does have 4 seated tickets they're looking to trade, I'd at least be interested. I have 4 GA tickets and we're getting too old for this! Can't get me to miss the show, but figured it was worth an ask! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaelu Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 heyz all -- you have to watch for directly posting links + pw's (passwords) to presales here. no one needs a Username to just Browse the forums. log out and check it out. you can cross-check this esp with the European / UK threads. it hopefully means a few less scalpers if you PM the info instead? that's the suggestion, anyway. but right now, I greatly appreciate it oh yeah and they also suggest to watch the join date ....

Thanks "...we would like to suggest that MUSE and MUSE's Management sincerely consider different methods of ticket distribution for future sales" Sure looks like blaming Muse. And obviously there's plenty of hemming and hawing over it in the petition thread, but criticism is not necessarily negativity. I'm suggesting you all direct your ire at the venues and at Ticketmaster. The band and its management are for the most part unwilling participants in all this crap.

I have 4 GA tickets and we're getting too old for this! Can't get me to miss the show, but figured it was worth an ask! I'd like 2 GA tickets. It seems like they are only selling seated now, should I buy two to trade? Edit: Nevermind, tickets are still sold out at the 10 minute mark, and I need to go back to work. Guess I'll try Friday's presale. Good luck everyone who is still trying! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsallen09 Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I made the same mistake and got seats. Sec 110, Row 6. I will be looking to swap for GA's. Just got back from seeing them in Vegas at the Hard Rock. AMMMMMMAAAAAZING SHOW!!! I was standing probably 10 feet from the stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdietzen Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 I'd like 2 GA tickets. It seems like they are only selling seated now, should I buy two to trade? unfortunately it's 4 of us together, so i'd have to do 4 for 4... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaelu Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 actually, i have been through many presales before and this is the best i have seen...not much lag and no time outs... if you actually GOT tickets shooting repeatedly for 2 seated together has been a joke this go-round for me. seated! only dalawa naman!

Thanks for the suggestion, but if you would take the time to read the petition thread, you will see that it is not the only method we are persuing to try and make a difference. Believe me, phone calls are being made, letters to the BBB and Ticketmaster, EVERY DAY since this started. Do not think for one moment we are mad at this band, that's insulting. So you can direct your negativity or criticism elsewhere, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For those of us in this thread, the United Center would be the best people to contact in terms of complaints. Here is their contact page: http://www.unitedcenter.com/ContactUs.asp Perhaps we should all give them a call and let them know that their choice of ticket vendor is deplorable.

kiernana Posted December 17, 2009 Share Posted December 17, 2009 silversun pickups are doing the whole tour so far, or at least this leg. ugh it's impossible to get 3 tix together. all those trying to get GA i think they're avail again, as i keep forgetting to choose my price level.
