Has anyone tried getting tickets for the Boston show?

[jeska]

There are no tickets available, could that be possible already?

[CHECKHEAD2004]

keep trying.. I got through about 20 times later

[NicRN77]

No luck with 2 tickets together. Closest I could get was section 2 row Y. I settled for 1 ticket in section 4 row A. I guess this settles my dilema about finding someone to go to the show with!! Maybe tomorrow's public onsale will bring more luck.

[jeska]

Thats good the selection of tickets helped make up your mind. The only tickets that came up were in the way back and it said I would have an obstructed view of the stage. If I cant find anything good maybe I will wait until tomorrow.

[NicRN77]

Can still get section 2 row BB now.

[paulb]

ya, at 10am i searched got sec 5 row T, so i searched again, and then it said No Tickets...so i kept searched, and about 13min through I got sec 3 row BB, so i got those....but now i keep searching and see random pairs, like section 4 for c, 6 row J....

[mpezzuto]

Just tried to get tickets right when they opened up online through ticketmaster and I couldn't get two tickets together. What is the point of advertising a presale if tickets are not going to be availalbe. This is such a joke! :mad: (n)

[CHECKHEAD2004]

turns out it is ga in the front, seats in the back.. anyone get GA,
I just scored one!

[BoggleKing]

cant find any ga tickets yet, did you get them with singles? they are already on ebay for 270 for two ga

[NicRN77]

Lucky. GA was never even offered to me. If I can get 2 tickets together tomorrow that would rock. If not...looks like I'm going to have to hang with some of you from the boards!! :) No biggie...that's what I did at the last Centrum show!

[paulb]

ya, at 10am there was no option for GA...and then after i went back to the page, it was there and already sold out....

[BoggleKing]

cheapest ga tickets are 130 on ebay, 140 a piece on stubhub, one ga would be nice

[mpezzuto]

I can't see the B-Boys being happy their fans can't get tickets.

Do you think it was all the ticket agencies buying up all the tickets?

[CHECKHEAD2004]

I got a single GA, wouldn't let me buy 2 GA, only seats and tables were coming up.
I keep trying just for the heck of it and it won't give me GA anymore.

[NicRN77]

I had to pay a scalper when I saw the BBoys back in 1998 at the Centrum. Man, I miss the days when you actually had to stand in line to get tickets. Those were the days!

I'm surprised most of the ebay tickets actually aren't that close. Seems the big ticket agencies scored big. Wish the BBoys would've done something like Will Call tickets like Prince did a few years back. Cuts back on the scalping.

[CHECKHEAD2004]

check out this site!!

http://www.teamonetickets.com/buy/499867/beastie-boys-tickets.html

They are selling 300 seats that don't even exist because the PIT will be there!!

[BoggleKing]

I would love to know who is holding out on all the GA tickets... I was on at 10 sharp and you still cant get them. even one, sounds fishy...

[jeska]

Yeah, this is all a little shady. Last time they came around I did not have problems like this.

[BoggleKing]

true even the centrum show, 3 years ago, you could get GA tickets presale easily

[CHECKHEAD2004]

I bet it is the damn radio stations.. they will probably be giving them out.

[jeska]

Yup, I was a 1/2 hr late to that presale and got GA tickets. The only seats I am getting here are way back in the concourse

[paulb]

Is it a nice venue? I have no clue what it looks like. I got section 3. Should be decent? Its weird, I havent seen a seated Bboy show in a long time...

[BoggleKing]

the pavillion is small enough so any seat is decent but still... not having GA tickets available is wacked out

[CHECKHEAD2004]

It is beautiful, on the outskirts of Boston on the pier, on the water.. very nice.

[CHECKHEAD2004]

I'll keep trying for GA tickets throughout the day and I'll post it if they somehow release more.

[BoggleKing]

you should buy them all up Check, if you can, I would buy them from anyone at decent price. but not $130 for a $45 ticket, some people dont have that kind of cash floating around

[CHECKHEAD2004]

Theres also a ticketmaster auction starting tomorrow for the first rows of seats starting at 70 a tic (this isn't that bad because you don't have to pay service charges with these).
I'd keep my eye out... but still, NO GA in there either.

[BoggleKing]

I can still get singles for section 2 row y so I might have to buy two apart.. not a bad seat still

[CHECKHEAD2004]

It will let you get two tics in sec 5 row t together right now

[CHECKHEAD2004]

Anyone know whats up with the I tunes postsale?

iTunes:
Start:Mon, 07/09/07 10:00 AM EDT
End:Wed, 07/11/07 10:00 PM ED


Maybe they are holding all the tickets. I didn't even know I tunes did this...

[paulb]

i just got tix for both NYC shows, that was easy as pie, Boston...cant quite say the same. It was weird though, once I searched up tix it said "your wait till will be less than 14min" and then it instantly gave me 2 tix...that was nice.

[jeska]

Well I got 2 tix in section 4, seemed to be the best I could get after 45 mins of searching. I just can't get over that I have to sit that far away when I was on right at 10 for the presale. But whatever I'll enjoy the show anyways.

[CHECKHEAD2004]

I've been trying for like an hour now to get just one more GA tic with no luck.
They are 145 a piece on stubhub.
I'll try tomorrow for another! Or later on tonight.
Good luck everyone!
: )

dumb question, is this an instrumental show?

[mathcart]

dumb question, is this an instrumental show?

"ok, to clarify (claro); we are doing two types of shows this summer, "regular" shows and "gala events". (See deffinitions below).

Tickets for some of our "regular" shows in the USA go on sale soon (see below for details) -- Tickets for our "gala event" shows will be going on sale later.

THE REGULAR SHOW is, well you know how we do, hip hop, hardcore, instrumental, weird hippie spaced out rock jams... all that type of stuff. These shows are for the average meathead, so you don't have to dress up, though we encourage you to."

Gala shows have not yet been officially announced.

[pgr17]

singles are still showing up on TM.

[BoggleKing]

Going to try for the auction tomorrow morning. Found Ga tick for as low as $99. Maybe a little more than the $60 on Ticketmaster. Worth a try.

[Documad]

I almost always do better in the regular sale than the presale. It's difficult if it's something you really want to see. Sometimes you take a mediocre ticket in the presale because you don't want to risk missing out altogether.

I'm not hitting any of these shows, but I wish you all lots of luck tomorrow.
