But I want a guarantee first row !! :(  Then I think the pre sale system sucks !  I wonder if Ticketmaster will have tickets on sale now? I 'll go and check.

Hey, I was just trying to lighten up the mood. :P So you didn't get into any of the presales that you wanted? That's rough, I'm sorry to hear that. :(

Wannee, remember, these aren't the only tickets in the theatre.  There are plenty more available through ticketmaster.    My advice is to call the theatres you want directly.   They'll direct you to ticketmaster or another ticket broker.   Some even sell tickets directly.   Do not panic.
But a spoonful of forgiveness
Goes a long, long way
And we all should do our best
To get along

I think I speak for all of us here when I say, this sucks fucking balls.

Were you on the site as soon as the pre-sale started?

Dusty  !  Absolutely !!! :(  I couldn't imagine anyone could beat me to it that fast !)  I don't see any tickets for Oakland and Santa Rosa show up on Ebay yet. I agree that this pre sale business really sucks !!  If they were gonna do something like this, then make sure that they have sufficient amount of tickets to sell to everyone.  I'm curious how many tickets they actually have acquired for this pre sale thing ?

I'm not siding with MK Inc. by any means, but if you look at the size of these venues, I think you have to remember that there physically can't be that many "good seats" to give away in a presale that is this expensive.

Now from my experience this past fews days.  Get the presale tickets from Markknopfler.com ! ! It's the best bet for great price and seat.  I knew why I lost out on Oakland and Santa Rosa presales.  I should have kept clicking on the submiting order button.  Instead I got panic and didn't know what to do.  Yesterday, I secured my Santa Rosa tixs at a much higher price directly from the venue.  Today I got Oakland tixs from TM, but all good seats were gone.  Many ticketing sites have seats that they are selling for for over $400 a piece. !

mk.com presales sucks absolutly, the server get down as soon as the sales start, and they decide the tickets for you...

What about complain to PCM? However I think it

It is definately not first come first serve. They fit the seats. But anywaythe seats are all pretty good.
I have proof for this. Sales RAH for 2008: I ordered 2 tix for Nigel and me. About 20 minutes later I ordered one more because Nelly wasn't able to get through (the site is not able to handle all the people at the same time). And what did we get, 3 seats in a row, 2 nights after each other exact the same seats.
