So I got my presale code today. Has anyone else got theirs and did you use them (if so - how)?

No! Where do you live?

Maybe it's easy when people put their country in their account.

Sweden. And *bad word*... just recently got this from CDON.com (the participating presale online store in Sweden) as I preordered the standard edition as a gift from there.

(freely translated)

You will soon recieve the album by the mail and as a thank you for pre-ordering Privateering you'll find a unique code below which will give you advance admission to the ticket sales at MK.com before they are publicly released.

MK is coming to Sweden during the summer of 2013 and the ticket sale is linked to the concerts below which you are able to purchase tickets for with the above code between August 30th and September 2nd. To use your code please visit MK.com, create an account and make your purchase. Don't forget to register your code before checking out. Your code is valid for up to six tickets, which must be bought at the same time.

Unique codes my a$$  >:(

One half of the country is sitting on the same deal as those who bought from MK.com...

You - and everyone in the same boat - have my sympathy.  You should complain!

It's the exact same info sent via the email from MK.com.

The difference is that I may use the MK.com in multiple countries. The "local market code" is only applicable nationwide.

And, there is absolutely no way of telling which option is superior or inferior.

Could you elaborate please ? I don't understand why you think you have been robbed, you don't trust that the code will allocate your seat in priority ?

I'm just saying that in the past MK.com have offered "special" things that turned out not to be very special at all.

The only thing that have remained somewhat unique for the fans (members of MK.com) was the presales. Now when you open the door to anyone in Sweden who preordered any version (even the standard version) of Privateering from CDON.com the presale and MK.com lose that last thing that makes the fans a bit more "unique".

So people will only register to use the presale, most will probably never support the official online community in buying the next Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions at the same time from MK.com.

What's the word, oh yeah - leeches...

What's the use of the presale code whereas the presales were open for people who only have to be signed in at mk.com?

I hear laughter down the street.
Damn it, they all laugh at me.

Yes, it started good and it will end in tears. Or rage. What's the matter with them! And no "official" forum to discuss it. But I guess they accept complaints. No pre-sale code for me, even if that doesn't mean much.

You may have a better seat allocation with a code than without. Who knows?
Remember that the assigned seat is send way after the presale end so....

We should ask MK.com about the use of the promo code....

Question:

I ordered the Deluxe Edition (in Germany) which will be available from Sept 3rd and at my place probably at wednesday 5th... I was checking the order -
there is no sign or info anymore about thes presale code stuff? Did amazon delete it all, is it still availbable? To be honest, I will download the digital version tonight and bought this thing alone because It's nice (physically obviously) AND because I want to take part on the amazon seating thing.

Any ideas? I have no info in fact that I can preorder with any amazon code???  ???

The answer I got from the friendly MK.com staff was that the codes are equally good.
