did anyone try getting AC/DC tix?

if so, had any luck? that had to have been one of the fastest sell-out i've witnessed in a while. not sure U2 shows sell out that quickly (cue predictable response, "U2 sold out years ago" :p )

i got incredible seats for philly through the fan club, but the GF who was trying on another computer pulled a pair in the 400's - once she finally got through. by 10:08 we couldn't pull up anything.

i tried at 10 am and got section 102, but put them back…i couldn't get through afterwards :p

My guess is there will be tons of tickets to be had at face value in the days leading up to the show. There always is for big-hyped shows these days, with everyone and their mother trying to be a craigslist/ebay scalper.

I'm just curious about the paperless tickets. I don't care for the idea. I appreciate a band trying to be fair to their fans, and thwart scalping. But, if they are indeed entirely non-transferable, some fans will be left in a lurch when circumstances come up and they have to eat their tickets. At $100+ per ticket (after Ticketmaster charges), I don't think this will prove to be very popular.

If anyone has seen the more "premium seating," is it ALL paperless? I read as many as 3,000 tickets per show would be. So, does that mean all of the floor, and best lowers, or can you choose other delivery options if it's not via fan club?

I forgot this morning about the show then realized at 1030 they were on sale. I logged in at 1040 and couldn't pull tickets my first try thought it was sold out. Tried again and then pulled 400. Tried again and I got a floor seat section 4 so I just jumped on that.

I was trying since 10 and ended up getting section 1 floor seats at 10:30. Looks like they released the good seats later on?

So are yours paperless?

i'm going to this.. my show of the year.. actually catching them three times on this tour….

I got paperless that was the only options they had pretty much no tickets no will call etc.

yeah all the floor and the good lower level tickets are paperless..

i think its beautiful….

Wondering how paperless will work without it being general admission. We will need some sort of ticket or something so everyone gets the right seat.

I still can't believe i was able to get a floor for this show at 1040 am.

I got thru and a ticket came up, but I could not bring myself to drop $110 on 400 level seat facing the back side corner of the stage. Guess I'll have to wait for the DVD, and be happy with the one time I did see them, at the Atlanta Symphony Hall in the summer of '78 That ticket cost $6.50, as I recall.

I didn't know about this whole paperless thing. I guess that might cut down on the amount of people trying to unload seats they were unable to scalp in the days before the show.

i didnt have any luck so if anyone has an extra hard ticket, let me know

i tried at 11:30 obviously no luck. Any one got the fan club password or is too late for that. Funny thing is I tried seeing if i could get a Who ticket today and best available was front front floor section 2 dead middle. Thinking about seeing the who also after playing their best hits on rock band I think I may like them more than black sabbath?

when you "Check in" at show they will swipe your credit card and you will get your hard ticket equivalent.

I saw Live Wire at State Theatre last week.


It was alright.

I logged on at 10am and it took a while to get through. I pulled tickets in the 400 sections as "best available" and put them back several times. When I bought the new CD with the tickets and selected floor seats, I was offered sections 5 and 6 (when I tried for floor seats without the CD I got the "not available" page). This was around 10:40am also. I guess the fan club allocation got the best seats.

Yeah I went and looked at the seats for The Who and they still have floor seats available. However those cost freaking 200 bucks. That's nuts. Glad I saw them at VFest. I hope the ACDC show will be good.
