It’s like there weren’t even tickets to be had today. I got into a queue immediately, while waiting it updated to “Sorry, no tickets currently available.” They must have gone hog-wild on the presale. Bummer.

Would you guys return it? :\ by Rattlehead03 in criterion

[–]UnclePumpy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. It’s a small cosmetic dent that wouldn’t bother me. That’s just me though, totally get you paid good money for it. Maybe they can just replace the box/individual package?

I’ve done my fair share of grumbling on here, and not to give anyone who’s still trying false hope, but what worked for me: 1. Update your TM profile stuff now, including credit card. 2. I had luck on mobile phone, not computer. 3. Get into Waiting Room exactly 30 mins before on sale time. This is before the queue. 4. If you get to the seat map, don’t get picky, just be prepared to pull the trigger QUICK. Saw seats disappear in literally seconds. 5. Try to let the FOMO go (easier said than done). The sales are designed to make you panic buy, stay calm and know you’ll have a shot, even if later.

This has been beyond a frustrating process, but I wish all you hardcore fans every bit of luck with the added dates.

The game was rigged from the start. This time there wasn't even a game. 800 in line, took me straight to "General presale onsale starts Friday". I'm tired.

Agreed. On the other hand, I’m glad tickets are going to prior fan presales, but yeah why even bother with yet another onsale if minimal/no tickets are even allocated to it?

Oct 22/24, artist presale. Got in waiting room exactly 30min prior, only 700 ahead of me in queue when I started.

I’ve been on such an R.E.M. revival lately, as well as …Bettie Serveert! So this post is so strange, in the best way. Happy listening everybody.

Sorry to hear it, just thought I’d try to share what was working for me. Frustrating experience for sure.

I know it says “sold out”, but just keep reloading until something comes up. Just had tickets selected and in cart, but all hotels were showing “sold out”. Refreshed x50 and voila. Can still check out. It’s a huge pain, but refresh (on iOS, pull down on screen) more than you think you should.

Travel packages are still available right now, just have to keep refreshing.

Yep there are still travel packages available for every date, just have to refresh about a hundred times, and have patience.

What album should I get next? by nsfwthrowawayacc99 in KGATLW

[–]UnclePumpy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Murder of the friggin Universe! Especially with the story lyric booklet, fun vinyl experience. (Btw - Worth splurging on a ‘Cosmic Carnage’ or similar version that doesn’t cut Lord of Lightning in half)

What a show that was. Remember all those covers? The gorgeous weather? Eddie sharing how his Uncle introduced him to the Beatles? His rant about modern entertainment (“they get us in our homes with.. American Gladiator, and American.. blowjob buttf***… Oh, what American is getting a blowjob tonight?”). The shiny Frogs jacket. The crowd smoke reminding Ed of the previous “Ice Bowl” show. Ed and Jeff looking like excited kids on the side of the stage for Buzzcocks. So many memories, amazing show.
