Looks like Saturday is official, I also saw a message on A&B's wall about the second night. Tickets will go on sale Monday at 10 a.m. (not sure where I found that, but it's a logical time...for them, that is...Mondays mornings suck for buying tickets if you ask me!) |

exactly what most ppl said including me. However, just saw that Circus booked Yoji on 5/14 so I guess I'll check that out after going to A&B the night before. I just don't think it's fair if people get to buy $35 tickets for that sat show when most of us got stuck with the $65 due to "overloaded server" |

Question...
Did anyone get a 35dlr ticket successfully?
Or did the scalpers with the scripts buy them all? |

We have asked the same thing and have yet to hear from anyone who got the $35 tickets. I had them in my cart thru checkout but kept gettin processing errors until the cart timed out. Seems like to me if they have processing errors on their end, the timer on the cart should reset. |

Things is...
People can make a script that buys tickets pretty much instantly at 10am. Those guys could have bought them all with different credit cards. Making it almost impossible for the regular person to buy at ticket at 35 bucks. |

that was my point a few pages earlier ... groovetickets doesn't have the mechanism to keep a script or bot from buying all the early bird tickets. groovetickets. |

I guess I miss that.
All they really need is CAPTCHA to fix that issue, and its free lol |

I agree with adding a captcha, but they probably make a lot more money selling 10 tix at a time since there's a fee for each credit card transaction. If it were me, I'd put on a captcha tomorrow, but what's their monitary incentive to do so?
Then again, why does Livenation use a captcha? I guess their 50% convenience fee makes up for that inconvenience to smooth over customer relations?
And one more thing: since GT only sells will call tix for this event, are all of these scalpers who use scripts showing up at the door with ID to pick up their tickets? I'd put the machine that gives out the hard tickets after the security check and make them enter the venue after getting their tix, that should frost their butts... |
