presales

[kathleenford5@xxxxxxxxxxx]

I know exactly what you mean. Even though I had a presale code for the DC show, 
all I could get was a seat that would feel like I was in the parking lot. So I 
went for the broker and ended up with orchestra seats but I paid for that 
privilege. Ticket-buying is such a racket.

I had a similar experience in trying to buy tickets for the D.C. Band of Joy 
concert. Had pre-sale code, on the broadband internet connection 15 minutes 
before the pre-sale started. Kept trying and refreshing screen starting at 
5 minutes prior to when the sale opened (had an early open happen before). 
When the presale opened, the closest tickets I could find were in the 
balcony. Then I read that not all seats are released for presale so I 
decided to wait for the general sale to open. That was a mistake! The best 
I could find were far back in the balcony. Yet, immediately great seats 
could be bought on the ticket resale sites! What gives? I waited until the 
presale at a later venue, Upper Darby, PA, and purchased the best tickets I 
could find as soon as the presale opened, still in the balcony, but front 
row, but way off to the left... 

Oh well...
