Stewart, we have a date on August 3rd!!!!

[Kim]

I got 4 tickets to MSG. Omigod, I'm going to see THE POLICE!!!!!!!!

How did everybody else do?

I'm about ready to pass out. I've lost a pound in the past 24 hours.

[Ghost69]

Yes!!! August 3 8PM!!!! Seats are OK, let's say I'll have an excellent view of the drummer Anyone else for MSG? Holy f**k, I have tickets to see THE POLICE!!!!

Breathe, Kim. Remember to breathe. This is exactly how it felt with everyone waiting outside the Whisky on Monday. I hope someone got a picture of everyone leaning against the wall outside the Whiskly "feeling" the rehearsals through the walls and trying to figure out which songs they were playing as everyone was waiting to get in. That was classic, too.

well done - I completely failed to get the same night ... was on the site at 12.01 and coold only get 300 level seats right at the back. What a load of crap... could only get 100 level (forget lodge and floor seating) if I selected to buy just one ticket - as Im coming from the UK I had planned on taking my girlfriend...

Worst presale I have ever been involved in.

Utter rip off...

Hope you faired better - where are your seats?

Well the first hurdle is over. I'll be able to relax for a few days but on Tuesday I will have panic attacks again at 9:00 and 10:00.

Why is that?

[Marshmallow Jones 1]

I'll be there too Kim. our seats aren't good i dont think, but they're in the building so what the hey

[Kim]

I'm in section 203. I didn't pay a fortune and it's not too far or too high or too low. I know I'm going to other dates so I don't care. I'm just happy to have a seat.

Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!

[racerxjj67]

Why you greedy..... kidding.

[sockii]

Hey, Kim! If you end up needing any extra takers on one of those 4 tickets, you know who you can ring up

CONGRATS!

It's because I've waited 24 years for this and I'm going to every date between Boston and Philadelphia unless the Ticketmaster gods say otherwise. SWEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEET!

[racerxjj67]

I'm wondering if the reason so many people are getting far, bad seats is because of the pre-sale yesterday for Best buy rewards members.

[sockii]

I still say don't count good seats out until the regular sale begins. That's what I'm waiting for, for the MSG shows.

Presale--of any kind--does not always equal the best seats in the house!

[bhaltos]

I think you are right. Pre-sale just means you can buy your tickets earlier it doesnt seem to be about selling the 'best' seats. Thats why I didnt buy today and I will wait for the general sale.
Although Im based in the UK I really want to go to MSG just because of the romance of the venue and the fact Ive always wanted to visit New York...
It also looks as if I wont be here when the Police come to the UK if it is indeed in September. Im getting married in Italy .... unfortunatley!!!

[Marshmallow Jones 1]

There's not much 'romantic' about MSG. It hosts two of the worst (historically) franchises in professional American sports, and the prices for everything concession-wise are ridiculous.
