Re: 06.22.2010 - Cedar Park, TX @ Cedar Park Center

I would agree that it is a measure to cut down on scalping, because it would make sense in a way. But remember what company we're talking about here. I'm sure it was just a glitch. A company like ticketmaster obviously doesn't give a shit about the real fans of anything. It's all about the $ for them.

Back in 06' during the warm-up tour I paid $800 for a pair of tickets to see them at the McFarlin auditorium in Dallas. It was for 6th row center, and the only time I ever bought tickets from a scalper. Minutes before the show we were in our seats and two guys walked up with identical tickets trying to make us leave. We took it to the box office and turns out ticketmaster double sold the entire row. It actually worked out in my favor becuase we ended up being in a "special pit area" in front of the front row. I was about 4 ft. in front of Justin C. But the point of the story is, this is'nt the first time ticketmaster has screwed up. And with the same band!

I'm excited for this show too. It'll be nice to get away from Dallas for a night. And the venue looks really nice.
