FF / DCFC at DAR

Oh just forget it. The password wasn't in the system is one message I rec'd. And I'm not even going to consider buying a ticket for $400 off of eBay. Looks like I'll be listening to my cd…

LOL… I get through almost immediately after the sale starts and the first 2 seats they gave me were pretty much the worst seats in the house… top corner, second row from the top. I'm thinking…. no. We'll see how the regular sale goes, I'm sure it'll be more of the same bullshit.
I had no problem with the password. Crappy seats though. Pass.
I passed on section T…so much for the presale.

I like the idea of presale tickets being pretty bad seats, though. Good call.
The page didn't show up for me until 10:05, entered password and got in right away, but apparently tickets were sold out already.
WHAT'S UP WITH MAKING THE PASSWORD UPPER-CASE? DOESN'T SAY THAT TO THE 930 LOYAL FANS EMAIL DOES IT??? DOES IT…AND CRAP SEATS TO BOOT? KUDOS TO YOU, KUDOS!

And I thought I was just me being too picky - I'm with you…I've been spoiled seeing them a bit closer at 9:30. $50 is too high to sit that far away…and solo – I only could get a ticket if I requested one. (offered G, N, and O then gone!)
I still want to see them, but willing pay the same or slightly higher for a little closer.
same here, tho i couldnt get in until 10:09. a bit bizarre to get no access to the page, and then to be sold out immediately.

consoling that the seat selections were bad.

Lower case worked just fine for me. And the seats I was offered weren't really that bad - they just weren't really that good (back of the floor and section D, but near the top). I'll bet they offered a little of everything.

It's just a presale. There will probably be 10x as many tickets available for the real sale.
maybe this is all apart of some fiendish plan to get rid of presales… get people so riled up about them, they wont miss them when they are no longer offered.

personally i think the sell by date on presales has expired and they are no longer useful as even a marketing tool. too many people think they are one of the few on the inside and will promptly get front row seats. i say get rid of them all together unless the presale is held by a band as a fanclub perk like Pearl Jam.

Fabulous.
Um I picked up a quite excellent (single) pre-sale ticket this a.m. .. in one of the boxes up near the stage. For those of you who will try again this weekend, try to get one of the box seats .. they are generally the best seats in the house at DAR. Absolutely no obstruction between you and the stage .. though admittedly your box can get kind-of crowded and unruly (it's a general admission seating approach once you're in the boxes, so it's first come-best seat).
Round 2 on DCist… who get OWNED near the bottom of the thread.
I reloaded until exactly 12 and they were already sold out.

God damn you, ticket resellers. God. Damn. You.
Same thing here, yet somehow they are popping up on ebay right before my eyes. How do they do it?
Yeah, I've failed three times now on that. My only hope is that ticketmaster wants to jerk everyone around and release blocks of tickets leading up to the concert. Do they even do that? Either way, I'll be trying for days.
Wow - That was probably the least successful big venue sale I've dealt with. After reloading several dozen times I finally pulled up one pair of crummy seats. Thew 'em back and never got back in.
yeah, i dont really understand the sale of ticket proccess for this show. have to have been the most unsuccesful ever
