ticketmaster?

[MetalBlade]

Has any one ever bought tickets via ticketmaster online, and if so have you checked the option to print your ticket via e-mail. I am thinking about doing this, but it sounds risky...

Help anyone?

i got tickets for jack johnson about a month ago. i just get standard mail.

i've thought about printing them, but i don't want to risk something going wrong with my printer, or whatever... and it's cool to actually have the ticket, and it looks cool in a ticket collection.


speaking of ticketmaster, i'm buying dmb tickets in an hour when they go on sale.


wish me luck!!!

i want some good seats!!!

Good luck!

I would get my tickets sent by mail, but it's really exspensive! Unless I am missing something. I guess I'll just visit a local ticketmaster tomorrow.

if you order them and choose standard mail, shipping is free. but i do believe, there is a service charge for using the online service.

There's a service charge whenever you buy Ticketmaster tickets, from the website, at an outlet. Etc.
Bah humbug... $26 for two $10/each tickets, just so I can be sure to get in.
Well, that time has passed, and I did indeed get in, but since my friend decided to ditch the concert a few days earlier, I gave a ticket away. So, really.. it was like.. one $26 ticket.

bah.

i got pretty good seats.


here's some advice-

you don't always get the best seats by choosing "best available". i think that's because everyone chooses that, and the system takes longer. If you are more specific, like i chose "floor seating" and i got some pretty good seats. on a scale of 1-10 i would say my tix are a 7.5 or 8.

ahh i see that now, but it also says will ship them 48 hours before the event. I would get nervous that they wouldn't come lol.

Two U2 tickets were $99.00...before service charges. After service charges: $118.50

I hate Ticketmaster, but unfortunately there aren't really any alternatives.

Nope, they guarantee you'll get them by then. I already have my U2 tickets, and the concert is in December.

that's not a bad price. i thought u2 was more than that. i think my dave tickets were (after all the charges) like $70 apiece.

it's alot of money. but it's my summer fun.

they usually send them like 2 weeks or so after you order them. If something goes wrong, they cancel the tickets, and they issue new will-call tix. so you can just pick them up at the venue.


they just say the 48-hour thing, just in case you order them really close to the date of the concert.

My friends and I always have our tickets emailed to us. If you have a working printer, it is by far the easiest option. Plus, you don't have to worry about losing your tickets because you can always just print them off again.

I hadn't heard of this concept before, surely emailed tickets are wide open to counterfeiting? Do you need ID or something to prove the tickets are yours?

Yes, I did it several months back when I bought Duran Duran tickets. As mentioned, there is a service change for this (of course, it's Ticketmaster after all!). Anyway, my tickets were emailed to me the next day.

 

[MoreInSorrow]

I prefer the old fashioned way of snail mail.

Plus, I like having the ticket stub after the show's over.

They have a barcode just like any other tickets, so they're scanned upon entering the venue. Actually, when I saw Modest Mouse in Milwaukee, they didn't even have a ticket scanner...they just took the printed paper. I should have only bought one ticket and printed it out twice.

Well that's exactly my point!

Yeah, that's the only problem with it. Having a ticket stub for a souvenir is much cooler than a sheet of paper.

The concert sold out rather fast, the only seats I could get are about the worst ones possible.

 

[underOATH!]

I've bought them online before. You just print them out and they scan the bar code when you get there.
