How does the seating chart work? I got the seating chart in front of me, but what is the first row? Does A come before AA or what? At 10:10, all I could search for is lawn tickets… is that correct?
Merriweather seating
I think that is correct…at 10:01 all I could get were lawn tickets.
I got center section row HH right at 10, I still can't get into the radiohead site to try for Montreal tix.
How in the … are all the seats taken at 10:01… who is getting these up front tickets? Certainly not WASTE…. So apparently ticketmaster opens it up to all the brokers, big corp. etc, first…. that can only explain it.

Anyone can get a job at TM as a phone operator. You and I get together, I go in and get the shitty desk job for $8 an hour and have access to pull all the tickets I want prior to them going on sale. Then you work the street side of the scheme.
I used to date a girl who had a friend who worked at TM and he could get me the best tickets all the time because he had the access to the system.

I can't believe a scam like that works. If so, it's Ticketmaster's fault for letting it happen. Scalpers/brokers can kiss my ass.
Originally posted by eros:I think Eddie Vedder should demand a congressional hearing as to why the scalpers always seem to get the tickets before they go on general sale through tickettwats….I'm serious, you know there's some palms getting crossed with silver somewhere.

yeah…that was basically my attidute…under the roof,so I wont complain

I got LL in left center at 10:00 am. Putting me in about the 48th row of 56 or so, not bad…
I totally forgot about WASTE until this bright Sunday morning, 24 hours too late. I had the same issue: 10:01 am on ticketbastard and I was going for 3 tickets, kept getting nada go scored lawn tickets, with an exhorbinant service charge. At least i can bust out my colorful mexican blanket, and not bring in beers, but take advantege of the Pavilion's diverse selection of refreshments = screwed at both ends.
It shouldn't rain, cause I'm going… 2 years ago summer roadtripping out from CA to DC for school, made the decision long before that not to buy Bull Run tickets and take our time across this great nation. It was the right decision. Congrats to you down in the protected seats, and someone please explain how that TM on the side shit can be ignored.

If one company sells tickets to all the concerts, and scalpers have an in with said company, then they have the best tickets to all the concerts, and all music fans get fucked. Ah well, row S seems like a huge victory right now.
The only problem is, Tickets.com charges just as much in obscene service charges.
Deregulation is great, innit?
