Foo Fighters 11/11/11 thread

Who knew, but thank goodness we went ahead and bought the 100s we pulled in the presale.  

This is crazy, isn't it?  Foo wasn't selling out Patriot Center last time they were here (which was a while ago, granted).

has Ticketfly bought Ticketmaster?


;D

No one wants to go to Fairfax

I got much better tix for AC/DC and Springsteen. WTF?

I KNOW!  And what's crazy is we had 8 people trying for floor for the Philly show and didn't get them either.  This is some batshit stuff…

i WOULDN'T be surprised if scalper agencies bombarded TM massively.. also i bet a lot of tickets went on presale wed..

but doesn't Verizon center hold like 25,000 people?


I just can't believe it

I'm still trying as we've all seen the good seats pop up 30, 40 minutes in, but dudes I gotta get back to work!!!

And right now there are 1646 tickets on stubhub.  Fuck me.

great.  that number should continue to climb for the next few hours.  early signs of over-scalping.

cute :D

How is it that when I'm on the site exactly at 10 and I ask for one GA ticket absolutely nothing comes up. Totally gone. Did they really sell out the floor in the pre-sales? WTF? Bite me, TM.

I'm getting nosebleed 400s or limited view back-of-stage. I'm going to wait until the last minute to see if I can get a ticket somewhere in the 200's for like $20 and fuck Ticketmaster. And sorry, but fuck the management for the bands. They should have given fans an opportunity other than some fake-ass presale which may as well have been a general sale.

Demand > Supply?  And if you're spending the time specifying which section you want in the drop down menu, you've already lost.

Ok I just went ahead and bought a ticket I got section 217 Row A, not as good as 121 damn it but oh well  ;D

I guess you can attribute some of it to being the summertime.  Usually a Friday 10am sale is not going to work for all the high schoolers.

228 looks like the best I can do right now.

Only one person on this board even got floor in the presale (I'm pretty sure, maybe two but I don't think so….).  ???

send an e-mail to Ted Leonsis.  I'm pretty sure he runs ticketmaster in DC now.

I believe Fatskippy and Driveway both got floors… I could be misremembering


Fatskippy needs to post his "Rules of good Ticket Kungfu" manifesto…

time? It was 2 extra clicks. No the idea that a particular area as large as the floor was completely gone the moment it went on sale is suspect, and fucking annoying. It was the ticket I wanted. I'm not going to spend $71 to be in a seat at a Foos show. Just ain't worth it. Hence – see ya next time, somwhere else, Foos …

the foo fighters own this


they could and should have made the floor and 100s paperless..

Hell, I even got tickets for Matador 21 festival last year!  THAT was easier than Foo floor tix.

something ain't right when GA and lower concourse sell out in the 1st five minutes of a presale.  If that is the case and demand is so great, why not add more shows?
