When pdf first came out, Ticketmaster used to charge 2 or 3 bucks for it and mailing hard tickets was free back then.
I used to joke with one of my buddies:
"Let's see, pay a few bucks to print the tickets on my paper using my ink and they make lousy keepsakes, or have Ticketmaster print them on their ticket stock with their ink and mail them to me for free and they make good souvenirs, tough choice"
But the practice of charging for them went on for a long time before they finally made it free. Probably a decade give or take.
But don't you understand they're giving you convenience? Therefore they have the right, nay, a duty, to charge you a small $35 fee for this wonderful, earth changing, service.
So it looks like it was never showing me the Innocence presale, only fan packages. And now that it is showing me Innocence there are just no tickets available.
Yeah, that sounds like the best plan to me. I'll just try general at this point. The whole site was effed up I'm now seeing. Now I'm seeing all kinds of tickets for much more realistic prices.
Clearly they should've used a non-binding postal survey to determine who was eligible to purchase tickets.
Grew up there, but haven't lived there since 2009. Still have family there, though.Headache - I think you are a LI guy. How is this Uniondale arena? I assume it must be a nightmare to get to on a concert night?

It's the redone Nassau Coliseum. I haven't been since they redid it, but I hear they did a terrific job.
Basically they did to the Coliseum what they did to the Forum in LA - shrunk it down and made it more conducive to concerts.
There's zero mass transit near by though, and limited bar/restaurant options within walking distance... unless they upgraded some of the Hofstra bars with the revamp. (it's right next to Hofstra).
If you know the area at all... Get off the northern state onto Glen cove road and take it down to Stewart Ave, loop behind Mitchel Field on Roosevelt and you'll come in to the Coliseum on the back end.
Everyone and their mother takes the Meadowbrook to Hempstead Turnpike, so the traffic is a nightmare
Put it this way... I lived in Mineola for a hot second in 2009, which is a few towns over. Got a less than face value Springsteen ticket 40 minutes before show time, and by going the back way and avoiding the Meadowbrook was in the arena with 20 minutes to spare.Thanks! I'm bookmarking this post for next June. I have only been to the area a couple of times, so this will be helpful.
MSG would be simpler, but at least it's Saturday. Should be ok to get there from Brooklyn.
Also, apropos of nothing, who amongst us here has been temporarily banned from the forum? I just was, and Laz was back in May
