I agree…TF charges a processing fee of $4 for 930 shows….other TF venues don't charge this processing fee

Good points and I agree, too. I used Ticketweb for North Star awhile ago and I think fees total were $3.25 (service/transaction and the 1.25 was the venue fee).
Gah, $10 on a $25 ticket via TF this week.
This is really nitpicky but TF's physical tickets are really cheesy looking. (Ticketweb's are cool)

Who cares what a ticket looks like?

I said it was being nitpicky. I'm not obsessed with my ticket collection, but I do save them. First, TF's don't even fit in a wallet. Secondly, they're pretty cheesy looking and have the TF logo over the entire ticket and are less about the show if you want such memorabilia. I don't really care, just thought of it and mentioned. And, knew, the comment I was subject to question.

besides the show itself . . . the ticket is one of the most important parts of the concert experience.  it better be fucking perfect.  that's why those ticket fast computer printer ticket things suck.

i have a question for miss thing herself, tflyamy . . . or anybody else who might have an answer through experience.  like ticketmaster, does ticketfly "re-release" tickets during any windows of time close to the show.  i can usually, if done correctly, pull fancy pants seats a week or less from the show date on ticketmaster.  that is why i like them and their fees.

I assume this would be up the venue, band, or promoter not the ticketing company.  That said, I pulled 10th row for night 1 Merriweather the day before the show on ticketfly last year.

i was always curious who decided such nice presents for people who couldn't get good tickets and refuse to use stubhubb/craigslist(they'll kill you there like an online version of the streets of dc).  i just refuse to go to merriweather for lawn.  major letdown. 

A question that may need to be in the FAQ section, but thought some of you or Amy might know…When a show is sold out, the parking ticket purchase option goes away too. Am I not seeing it? (On tickets.com they were on a separate listing under the show.)
TF parking purchase is on the same page as the show purchase listing. (see a current show not sold out)
Yet, if you look at shows that are sold out a month from now, the parking ticket option is not available; the sold out box is there. Parking doesn't generally sell out in advance (does it?).

Another question is there an option to create an account? It's been awhile since I purchased online. Recently, I did, but I didn't see the option to sign in for an account. I just assumed I never made one & filled out my information  before purchase.

Edit / answer:
Due to the way the system is set up, currently parking tickets are not available on line, once a show sells out.  However, if there is still parking available you can buy at the box office or by calling TicketFly @ 877-435-9849.

Also, there is not an option to create an account on TicketFly, but that is coming very soon.

thank you for linking to parking on the concert list & TF page(s) for sold out shows.

oh dear.. TF is down..

that's the system mocking you for your choice of musical entertainment - "you don't actually want those tickets, now do you?"

A decent mobile app would be nice.

I'm kind of confused at the relationship between Ticketfly and ticketingcentral.com. For example, for today's Mumford & Sons pre-sale, I was initially taken to a Ticketfly.com web page, but then I ended up on ticketingcentral.com. I think Ticketfly does this for all Merriweather shows? I think that explains why Hutch's Cars tickets doesn't show up in his Ticketfly.com account. Well, as I was checking out, I kept trying to enter my Ticketfly.com username and password and it wasn't being accepted. Fortunately, after the third or fourth time, I realized my error and looked up my ticketingcentral.com password and was able to purchase my ticket.

Ticketingcentral.com's web interface is just really odd too. You have to click on way too many buttons to just check to see if any tickets are available. And does anyone else see "NaN:NaN:NaN" for the time remaining to checkout? That always freaks me out.

i saw the symbol for pie in the captcha on ticketfly! WTf?

haha, I had sanskrit for mine  ;D

basically my orders won't show up in my ticketfly account under "my orders"… I talked to ticketfly and they didn't have a clue… maybe i have duplicate accounts under the same email address… thats all that comes to my mind..

My Cars order shows up in my account…
