That seemed to be a pretty simple explanation for me. Tickets.com didn't see it coming (smart move there….), too many people tried for so few tickets, no explanation why i got an error AFTER I got to the billing page, therefore, it sucks…I'm going to eat some Ben and Jerry's…(and shake my head at the poor kid who thought the Virtual Thing was a hoax)
Beastie boys at 9:30
Since we don't get the parking lot until 6:00 PM, we aren't going to sell advance tickets for the lot. We never know how many cars the owners of the lot will still have there after 6:00.

You mean this show was for the BEASTIE Boys? Well, sheeit. I was tryin' to kick it with the real B-Boys.

With that said, tickets.com still needs a bigger sling shot if they want to bowl in the same league as goliath ticketbastard. i always root for the the underdog, at least until it mildly inconveniences me. and from what i hear, as far out of an idea as it is, some actual phone support wouldn't hurt.

Bullshit. I've never had problems like this getting concert tickets, EVER. I seriously thought that getting emails from EVERY single mailing list involved in the presale meant something; I was actually being rewarded, I was finally getting the inside info I signed up for at these websites in the first place.
I was confident that I could go and experience a fantastic intimate concert at my favorite local club, and afterwards thank three legendary guys for being a major inspiration for my really getting into music.
But at 4 the show sold out and my anger manifested itself as a gnarly thunderstorm that ravaged the Eastern Seaboard. Apparently even a fast internet connection and a computer with ten million browser windows, all of 'em firing, can't compete with a shitty ticketing company that crashes and misdirects people and can't form any true sort of first-come first-serve waitlist.
Oh, and why not have the radio station and some message board morons ruin the entire purpose of a secretive PRE-sale. God forbid some of these sissies should have had to prove their dedication by missing a night of American Idol or some crap to wait in a real line along V street!
No. Instead, we can either give free publicity to those shitty Sports Junkies by waving signs behind stunned murder witnesses on the Channel 9 News, or rely on computer overloads and the like to royally fuck hundreds of Beastie Boys fans. Nice planning. Hope you realize the Boys <and all bands> would rather play to fans who'd wait on line for tix than some damn lucky 9th caller who can barely hum 'Intergalactic.'
Oh well, I'll just go stop the thunder outside and rock the over-the-shoulder boombox, old school, because the fan that I am, I bought the new album today. And it is INCREDIBLE…long live the BBoys

Originally posted by JohnnyBlades:If that were true, then they probably would have stipulated that in their deal with HFS prior to agreeing to do the "Special Secret Show for [INSERT RADIO STATION HERE]".

You'd also think that the band would cut their internet mailing list down so that only the folks with local zip codes would get the password to this show (which they didn't, it was out into at least a national if not global email). At least HFS and 9:30 passwords were to local folks.
Your much loved and influential band is not without fault here.

that beastie ticket fiasco was a farce. four people on T1 connections, and the best we got was a boston red sox tickets.com "waiting room."

The handful who'd use a Pre-Sale password to buy tickets and drive all the way down from Michigan, etc. for the show has the same fan enthusiasm as your local ticket camper, maybe more (maybe too much). As far as getting into the show, they're at least as deserving.
…like its noble or something for one of the country's largest radio stations to lead on thousands, dangling an unstated number of tickets for sale all for the glorification of their lame email list. What do they care about helping out locals versus other people

I won tickets to the Beastie Boys show. I am going, but I will sell my other ticket to whoever gives me a good bid first. You can e-mail me with your bids.

I feel a bit better since now i see im not the only one who got an error message at checkout and got to wait in the Boston Red Sox waiting room……oh well, life goes! :roll:
"this aint ebay bitch. you should burn in hell for that post."
Fuck you punk

Ok..I know that credit cards get denied freeing up tickets, etc…that being said, I'm still being refreshed in the waiting room on three browsers…what would others do – give it up knowing it's sold out or hope you'll go somewhere with them? bc why would they keep refreshing and not just go to some page and say, "Dude, it's over, let it go"…

What the hell does the Boston Red Sox have to do with Beatie Boys tickets?
i got tickets to the show and i can't wait to go! anybody have any idea what a good time to get there would be??
