I just got two tickets. THANK YOU.
Darn it. I guess I got lucky with Wilco tix last time, so I shouldn't have expected too much from the ticket fairy. I haven't seen BB live since 1997. If anyone needs a date, I'm your girl ;)
Congrats.. I'm opting for a more sedate evening to see Ron Sexsmith at Iota with Kosmette

a) no one is going to give me a ticket
b) the Beastie Boys make my head hurt.
first time poster here. decade plus attendant of 930 shows.
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."
i speak ill of no one on V street, but tickets.com is about as technologically reliable as a three flippered mongoloid operating a Commodore 64.
interstingly enough. the people at tickets.com are currently not answering the phone, even though it's "normal business hours" for them.

Can someone please tell me why WHFS told me I could buy Beastie tix online at 4pm, only to find that the presale password didn't go away when it was supposed to? And now its sold out? I need answers since I can't get WHFS in my apt…
If any gracious person w/ 1 extra BB ticket wants to sell, I can meet you at 9:30 and go in together and give you the money - I am the longest running BB fan whom was kicked out of the tickets.com sale - what a piece of ?!@#$ to be an overloaded error :D
I tried, no ticket. And yeah, what was up with that Boston Red Sox "virtual waiting room"???

The 9:30 Club password worked as promised, but with four internet windows open, I got bupkis.
i found myself yelling go yankees at that waiting room

Hmmm….it's called supply and demand my friend. Very low supply and very high demand. Those presale passwords went out to thousands of people, who then shared them with thousands of people.

It took me until 4:20 to get my order processed. I kept getting that damn BoSox page at first and actually I though that was some sort of screw up and I closed that page a few times. Anyway even though I got ticktes I agree that it was confusing at best. What the hell does the Boston Red Sox have to do with Beatie Boys tickets? BTW I have two computers here on my home network and a friend across town tried as well. I was the only one of the three who got a pair of tickets. Oh well I guess the kids won't be going to this show.
another person with a b-day on thursday that got locked out of tix…i was on for almost a half an hour starting at like 4:02 and was taken to the same red sox "virtual waiting room" and didn't get shit!…the closest I got was requesting the number of tix, and then that came back "can't submit due to high volume so resubmit" message…so I kept doing that forever and never got anything, then a message came back saying "seats no longer available"…this sucks so much ass!
