Everyone, keep us updated on how your presales go. Mine is tomorrow. Not expecting much.

It keeps saying not enough tickets available, and it has said that since the split second they became available......what the hell? I only want one. And after trying both seating options for 5 minutes I haven't gotten squat. Who bough 120 tickets at once? I'm very upset.

Sec. C - Row Y - Seats 24/25


Not bad for the pre-sale, considering the other stories that I've heard. Maybe I'll check out the Ticketmaster sale this Saturday, and sell the others on eBay.

I just don't understand how people can get those close sections (a friend just got sec. A) when I sat there clicking for 20 minutes (with cable connection mind you!)........I remember what the other thread said about companies buying up close seats, but if that was true then none of the front 3 sections should be available right? I ended up in sec. F (direct center, which is good, but behind sec B, which is bad). Let's see.....Row Q, seat 20. If this wasn't the only show I was going to (I work weeknights which makes concertgoing near-impossible) I wouldn't be so ticked. Forcing myself up at 9:30 for this was a challenge...... :evil: I envy all those who will be close enough to catch a shirt. :?

Now it's another 2 years till I have to go through this again....

Saratoga, NY - Section 5 Row D - Row 4 to the left of the stage.

Buffalo, NY - Section 101 Row 9 - Off to the right of the stage.

We used 2 computers and we got the same message for 17:34 minutes, then we got in and bought the tickets, we both got in at the same time strangely enough. After that we tried to get in to see if it was working good and it wasn't. They get flooded and you have to keep clicking back and continue until you get a line, if you're lucky enough to. I tried going for 1 ticket in both sections instead of 2 to test and since that didn't work it proves that they were just being flooded. You have to stick with it until it says sold out! :( Good luck to anyone else getting pre-sales.

*Lifesonite, good karma to ya!

I would NEVER begrudge anyone a great ticket to a show. I honestly am happy for you, especially for such a fan.

I'm just frigged up. Here in NY it's brutal! I gotta go and have Trump FIRE me before I get anything good! :wink:

I was at my computer at 9:55. I had the page open and just kept on refreshing it for 5 minutes untill I was in.

Sect. C was the first hit that I had, so instead of taking chances, I went with that.

It's better than what I had on the VT tour. We were in Section F. Still a great show, and we even felt the heat of the flame, in "One Little Victory"

Ticketmaster's pre-sale is tomorrow at 12 noon, and then the actual sale on Saturday, at 10am.

For Buffalo, I got Section 200, row 4 (Center Stage). I couldn't get shit for tickets on the link from Rush.com. I was looking around for a seating chart for Darien Lake, and found their website, when I noticed that they had their own pre-sale going on thru CC.com. The link said that the presale starts tomorrow, but it let me in, and let me buy the tickets.

Lifesonite, hollar when u do cause I'm achin to play! :D

On a slightly good note, a musician friend of mine who records said my seat is really perfect for acoustics, so I guess that's much better than being on a side, though I STILL want to be in those first 20 rows. I'd rather catch a drumstick than benefit from balanced sound, which I can hear on a CD! :P Okay okay I know......still nice to see them while they are alive & kicking @$$. :twisted:
