OMG, you guys. What is happening here? I'm so sorry. It seems that not only do we have the scalping problem, none of the "good" tickets are even available for purchase via presale or even the public sale. Here in the States, special auctions via ticketmaster and the "gold, silver, platinum" seats are the problem. Finally figured it out. They're "holding" the prices down to $225, yet making up for it by withholding the good seats and bumping up the price for those. I don't blame TPT at all for the lack of availability. Best Buy is fronting this so I think we're probably very luck to even have a presale. The quality of seats they were offered is not of their choosing, I'm sure. This, my dears is what we call a "clusterf***" here in the States. Not fun at all. another sad day here after day FOUR of trying to get a single decent seat in Houston. Great if I were 6 feet tall, that back floor would have been just fine. Not paying $225 to look at someone's butt the whole show (I inevitably end up behind the tallest person in the stadium as well...) Just hope some of these people that don't really want to go will get stuck w/lots of tix closer to the show and will end up losing money on the venture. That's what I'm counting on happening in Houston and Dallas #2, that's the only thing getting me through today, anyway! Keep checking the boards, you may find someone that found a better seat during the regular sale and will post their presale seat or sale. May the idiots who are selling their presale seats for profit have them pulled! michelle in tx In a message dated 3/10/07 3:52:56 AM, lydia.dicorato@tin.it writes: _______________________________________________ Police mailing list

Why do people do this... I tried getting a ticket for the Birmingham show, just in case I don't get review pass... within 12 minutes the ticketmaster site was sold out.. Within 2 hours, the show was COMPLETELY sold out. There are tickets being sold now, for £450:
