Almost 30 minutes in. This is looking hopeless.
I can't believe I missed the pre-sale because of my endoscopy. Just my luck.
I hope you're right, sweetcell.

TM never advertises "sold out" on any shows (or at least i've never seen it do that before). If you're getting the screen that says "sorry, we couldnt find the tickets you wanted", then yeah thats how you know.

I think by this point if people can't pull up tickets then it's sold out.

you can get them at the club too, but i know that there is a certain time frame that you have to pick them up by or they will release them to the public.

I'm sorry that everyone did not get what they wanted. But I bet you can pick up tickets for at around $20 at stubhub, craigslist, ticketking, ebay, etc.. easily. Plus a few hours before the show, there are scalpers hanging around the paviliion, which you can buy from for cheap, I hope, otherwise no one would buy them. It's so sad that it is sold out after 3 minutes, because of the nature of the scalpers. I went to stubhub, and saw a seller who had 50 (FIFTY) tickets to sell at $99.00 each, that is just disgusting. The whole nature of scalping is just plain disgusting, and ruins for the fun for everyone. One person was selling 7 tickets at $700.00 each! Of course no one is going to buy the 700 tickets, because it's not even worth $700 haha to go to the concert.

I'm just curious to know what the hell kind of program these scalpers uses to get all these tickets. I can barely get past the word identifier thing without messing up at least once.

The last free show I couldn't get tickets to was the DC 101 holiday show at the 9:30 club a year or two ago. The free show cost me $80 for two tickets on CL. It was still worth it.

Will Call orders may be picked up at MPP or 9:30 Club box offices, but not tickets without a pre-existing order. Will Call pickup dates are Fri 8/21 10am - Fri 8/28 9pm. Unclaimed will call will be released to the general public after 8/28!

Maybe I'm being overly optimistic but people like me who got shut out should heed the advice others have given. Tickets will pop up. Grab 'em when you can.
Hope to see you there.

Guys! There are many opportunities to get your tickets before the festival. You have 2 months to get organized, and just order from ticket scalping websites, or just drive to pavilion to buy from a random stranger.

Those craigslist ads are just ridiculous haha. However, I do see a lot of people that want tickets are willing to pay whatever for them. Must be blink fans. ;D

I've been looking at some ads for fun, and saw that some people are much nicer than the people at stubhub. People are selling their tickets at around $15 (for 2 tickets!!). I think that is a steal even though it is a freefest. But for the people that are desperately needing one (as I would be if I didn't have them) here's your blessing! I will not post link for various reasons. Just look around.
Enjoy!
