Damn people calm down. This was ONLY the presale. A SMALL percentage of tickets are sold via presale. Most tickets will be sold tomorrow.

dammit. my friend got 2 tickets and I gave her the fucking password. this is some shit.
it isn't going to be any easier tomorrow. if anything, it will be a LOT harder. a lot of people didnt know about the presale, or didn't have the password.
Yes such programs (or machines as you call them) exist. Reading a captcha and scripting for ticket pulls is not amazingly difficult. You can't just Google for them though because a) they are technically illegal so its nothing something to be advertised blantly and b) if everyone has the program its effectiveness and thus relevance is reduced.
The way passwords are dessiminated for this place is a joke. Sending out a newsletter with the password all over the country is just plain stupid. Does Seth the Clueless really think Joe Bob in Poughkeepsie is really a big 9:30 club fan?

BTW - 9:30 used to use Ticketmaster. Don't expect them to go back any time soon. Ticketmaster is as flawed (more so in most cases) as any other ticketing agent. The 9:30 Club left them for a reason, whatever that reason was. So, this "when are they going to use Ticketmaster" whining isn't going to get them back on TM. Why would you want that anyway? So you could complain about Ticketmaster more? Try Ticketmaster for any other sale this summer during the concert season and see how much you like the results. In fact - you're better off with Tickets.com. Granted, this was an internet only sale. But, look at how many more outlets there are for TM over Tickets.com. Add those people to all of their phone operators, and the fact that their site can handle 1,400 transactions at any given moment… Well, 1,000 or so tickets for a 930 show aren't go last very long at that rate are they? At least with Tickets .com you're not dealing with as many retail outlets that can pull their tickets at the moment of sale, without having to wait for an internet browser to refresh.
My experience is the pub sales are even harder. If you didn't get tix today you are SOL tommorrow.

quit trying to run teh fucking club. seth does a fantastic job, and its why 930 is not only one of hte best clubs on the east coast (if not hte country), but is also one of the most organized as far as online-things go.
you should see most clubs. its ridiculous.
Originally posted by Stanger:and as far as as programs. yes, they aren't a myth. they exist. but about 5 brokers in the entire country have them. they cost tens of thousands, and only the gigantic brokers can afford them - and those guys aren't bothering with shows at the 9:30 Club, I can assure you.

plus, there isn't a program that can crack hte tickets.com CAPTCHA. it doesn't exist, so nobody on this board has anything to bitch about.
you either know how to use tickets.com and know the ins and outs, or you dont.
And how do you know so much about how the ticketing systems work in all the clubs on the East Coast. Oh yeah you are chokeychicken the TicketGod. When did you change your ebay handle.

Wow all SEVEN of those ebay auctions posted by someone in Glen Allen are all of a sudden gone!
that's because the public sale isn't tomorrow, smart ass.
Face it Incubus sucks. Only people who give a rats ass about Incubus or would spend their hard earned money on them are prepubescent junior high schoolers and their parents who want to appease the whining crybabies. Enjoy the show with all the other losers.
Hey wait a minute… Did y'all know that Incubus is coming to the 930 club in January?
Does You_Be_Veronica like Incubus. Does Incubus travel by bus? If so, is their bus named The Incu -Bus? Enquiring minds want to know.
If the concerts are ½ as entertaining as these threads then they will kick ass…
Originally posted by jeffml:i for one give a rats ass about them. they're freaking awesome! my friends and i have all been huge fans for years. and we're not high schoolers, we're hard working adults. i'm glad we got our 4 tickets and will be attending the show!

could someone PM me the password?? :(
just looked again, tix still available… something must be wrong, i suspect that the system is releasing too many tickets (why is it still asking for the presale password? presale ended yesterday!). there has got to be demand for more than 2000 tickets, no? who knows, maybe not! awesome if that's the case, plenty of scalpers will be disappointed :D
get'em while you can, at worse you'll get a refund.
