And TM tracks the IP address from your router or modem, so even if you have multiple PCs or TM accounts they are still on to you.

good Luck if they go with CC only - you have to walk in with CC and ID - not tickets, no mobile, no nothing - This get more challenging all the way around. Calls for Advanced Concert-Ticket Purchasing system....

Seeing "Official Platinum Seats" listed on TM for Edmonton, with no explanation as to what it gets you...also looks like they aren't on till the regular sale starts.

I am hoping for Ottawa and Kingston -- Kingston I expect will be tough. The real pain with Ottawa it's no ticketmaster. Capital Tickets -- the sens ticket seller -- easily the worse user experience ever. I have never seen it not crash in a sale for a popular show.

My tip? Be the rare American Hip fan. In '07 I got 1st row seats at the ACC. As the ticketmaster.ca servers were overloaded, the American servers let me slide right in and score amazing seats that I was wholly appreciative for. If I can have the same luck tomorrow, I'll feel supremely lucky. Heck, just getting to see my favorite band one more time, regardless of the shitty circumstances, will leave me feeling blessed.

Never occurred to me that ticketmaster canada and usa used different servers. Good to know Smile

The Victoria show doesn't use TM so this should be interested. I've gotten decent tickets before but sometimes I have things stall out and tickets disappear from the cart Sad

My usual tactics are:

Try presale. Hold the tickets in the cart as long as I can, search again, rinse repeat. If I don't get good tickets wait for the next presale, then the next one, then eventually the regular sale. If I don't get decent tickets by then, then I wait. They usually release better tickets leading up to the show. You bookmark it. Check once a day. Several times a day when your within a few weeks of the show.

I am glad I mostly go to shows in Victoria/Vancouver. Way smaller population than T.O. That's gotta be tough.

Never thought of that, you might just get lucky, we've had a few meltdowns with servers over the years, usually works out in the end though, lets hope so this time.

A company like Ticketmaster handles some of the hottest ticket events in N.America I'm sure it will go well. ( I dont fully believe that but Im just trying to be positive, its tense in here)

Imagine a world before the "beginning was the word.”

Ha, sounds like someone wasn't around for the great Danforth meltdown of WATS.

Email with the code just came in... interesting, some venues have "platinum seats" which can only be ordered but only picked up on the day of the show

Ticketmaster Wrote:Official Platinum Seats are premium tickets to concerts and other events made available by artists and event providers through Ticketmaster. They give fans fair and safe access to some of the best seats in the house.

Ticketmaster's Official Platinum Seats program enables market-based pricing (adjusting prices according to supply and demand) for live event tickets, similar to how airline tickets and hotel rooms are sold. The goal is to give the most passionate fans fair and safe access to the best tickets, while enabling artists and other people involved in staging live events to price tickets closer to their true value.

So can my wife and me try for tickets to different shows at same time using same ticketmaster info?

want to be a nobody without peer
want to be a thought that's never done
want to shake your faith in human nature
want to break the hearts of everyone
want to be your wheezing screen door
want to be your stars of Algonquin
want to be your roaring floorboard
want to break the hearts of everyone
