how was that pat benetar show?

Seems like most of you forgot about this ticket fiasco. At least people pulled tickets - and whining about not getting better ones. I never understand why someone doesnt just take a good one, and if need be, sell it.

Anyway at least this gave me a good laugh. And at least its not their last show - and you have plenty of other options (places) to see them.

I threw three sets of tickets back and then got GA #56-57 on the floor.

By the way, why are they numbered? GA or is it floor seating with numbers?

And the worst part is now I am waiting to find out if my family has a wedding that day. If so I will sell them here for face value.

I got a floor ticket for LCD the week before the show as they released more tickets  ;D

they're numbered for inventory purposes only.  there will be no chairs on the floor for the foos, all standing/dancing/pogoing/fist-pumping/etc.

you dare compare the queen of rock, pat benatar to taylor swift?  and if you even breathe how many records taylor has sold . . . my litter box paw will be all up in your face.

Dortiz, if you can't make it, can I be the first in line to buy them?

Has anyone tried the live nation app for their smart phone?  Sounds like its a new tool to get tickets, I wonder if its quicker than a normal computer.  I saw this post on the FF board:

"If you have a smart phone the app for Ticketmaster/Live Nation is awesome for GA tickets. Just saying.
Got my GA for DC using the Livenation app even though its promoted by IMP for this show."

i wonder if they set tickets aside for mobile app users…

Another bit I read:

"wondering if there is a dedicated ticketmaster app for the droid platform and more importantly the droid x. im not sure if some of these apps are device specific. reason im asking is im getting my X tomorrow and need to purchase tickets friday morning. tickets are alot easier to acquire using the ticketmaster app on my blackberry vs. using the ticketmaster site and getting thrown in the pool with the masses and hoping for the best…ive gotten great tix for just about every show using the blackberry app vs. the ticketmaster website. any insight would be much appreciated as this is coming up very quickly between receiving the phone and ticket buying time friday morning. thanks in advance!"

Phillidan,
you bet. I am trying to find out this week which Friday in Nov they booked. Who gets married in Nov and on a Friday??

I've used it, but not for big on-sale days.  I'm no fan of LN, but it's a nice app. 

One thing that's interesting - Once you buy tickets (either online or via the app), the app takes away the "Find Tickets" option when you search for that show.  It replaces it with a "My Ticket Info" button.  You can't even search for tix any longer.  Maybe there's a way around that though.

I wish TicketFly had something so nice.  *ahem*

My parents got married on a Friday–in JANUARY!  So it happens….

Even though she's barely out of Chris Hanson range, Taylor Swift A.) Writes her own songs.  They may be tired, hokey and cliched.  But they're hers and B.)  She's really classically beautiful.  Maybe not Grace Kelly or Tommy Stinson hot but…Charlize Theron-hot:



Plus, big ups to cornfed Pennsyltucky girls.

Taylor Swift looks like too much of  retard to be considered hot.

Sometimes I think she's hot, sometimes not at all. it's strange. I'm also two weeks older than her, so it doesn't feel creepy.

And, overly teenage girl lyrical content aside, she writes great melodies. I wouldn't expect her to be any good in concert though.

zero comments from anyone at IMP or on the Foo Fighters facebook.  I guess they are all at the bank or still in bed with the scalpers.

Were you expecting a comment? It's not like this is a rare occurrence.

i'll defer to your knowledge since i believe you're from the area but according to wikipedia, berks country is included in the greater philadelphia area - i.e. not in pennsyltucky.  i'm sure it's one of those "it depends who you ask" questions…

Yes.  I saw the exact same map which includes Lancaster county as NOT being in "Pennsyltucky."  REALLY?!  If Lancaster (home of the AMISH) ISN'T considered part of "rural" Pensylvania than all that you read on Wikipedia may not be as true as you think.
