Kosmo - for those of us considering the ebay/craigslist angle, can you clarify if the person bought 2 if they'll actually be able to sell both? I know you don't want to help scalpers out but it kinda also helps out the hardcore fans who are willing to throw $$$ into this but don't want to get fucked when there's only 1 ticket.

I know this hurts, but i did get two tickets, however not through that damn VWR!!! That is an awful excuse for ticket sales. Although i did have it running in like 10 different pages. I got them thru the phone. The fucked up thing was i called at 950 expecting to be on hold for more than ten minutes and it only took 4, leaving me with 6 mins to kill. So i tried to fill the time with bullshit questions, and she quickly caught on, and then promptly hung up on me!! After busy after busy i finnaly goton the phone with a person at like 1010, and scored 2! Just wondering though, did most everyone try Online, or phone???

I was doing both. According to my cell phone's wireless page, I literally called 98 times and never got through.

maybe the pumpkins will show way late, because of bad weather, play twenty minutes and hand out free pizza to people who shelled out 500 dollars for tickets.

Oh man, I just clicked on the ticketing link and it asked how many tickets and I said 2 and it said "not this many available" so I clicked 1 and it did thw hole word verification thing and then said "no tickets available." Worst fake out ever.

If we were from DC, I'm sure bnyced0 and myself would, but being from NYC and Richmond, that's a long drive without an assured ticket at the end.
not sure whose from NYC - but thats actually me who was making the NYC jokes (and lives there). bncyed0 is a 'local' which is how all the local jokes came about. so yeah he could easily drive down there.

Hey - If someone was able to get 4 tickets then god bless em. Whatever. Fucking sour grapes people. Get over it.
Yea, we used two different user names, addresses, or email addresses,to get our tickets…
just b/c i get 4 tickets means I'm scalping? lol, its not like I bought 4 iPhones…what as the deal w/ the parking situation down there(not from the area and we are traveling far…our hotel is near a metro station and were going to use that, but don't know when the last ride is)
please tell me youre from nyc! thatd so make my day! amazing the non-locals got some! sorry bncyed0. :D (and seriously, since you saw them in NC and i tried my ass off to get tix, i cant feel that bad for you).
speaking of… i got 4. but i just found out i might not be able to go, and since i'm the one that has to show up (i can't drive all the way down from NYC), they're probably going to waste. extra room for those inside i guess.
hi, bnyced0
hahahaha damn us ny'ers are mean F*#@$. luckily im seeing F&M tonight for free. that will make me happy if just for a bit. not that they remotely sound like SP. BTW - if it rains/thunderstorms tonight, does the show go on?
