North America dates, and TV Appearances.

[Cosmin]

Real fucked up by new checkout.
But I do have tix for all shows. Not all good ordernumbers

Ingrid you truly are the fan of all fans, how did you manage this small miracle? Concurrent booking perhaps?

What's your ordernumber? We have 100155, 100156 and 100280 (last one I am not completely sure but around that number)

My 2 tixs from oakland is 100408

Ingrid,  i'm glad you are making it to this side of the pond.  1.Questions to you. What does order number has to do with anything? Is it better seats for earlier numbers?  2. Are you coming to the US yourself or with someone?

I hope we could all get together.

If you order at presale it's first come first serve.
So lower ordernumbers mean you were earlier. I couldn't think that my number seems not to be bad at all. I waited for ages, down for maintenance, tried to log in again, sold out, and by surprise the mail came in that I did have tickets. But everyone had trouble and delays as far as I can see

I remember the first RAH 2008 presale that was a total mess with servers down for 50 minutes...

[ingridswing]

Question 2 from Sweetsurrender: I don't know yet, but I sure want to meet with some fellow amit-ers. Plans need to be sorted out later. Still waiting if another date will appear

[ingridswing]

By the way: did other people also see that presale on mk.com didn't appear when using Internet Explorer. I checked my ipad and it appeared, started Google Chrome and it appeared as well

I booked together with 2 others, so the 3 of us booked 4 concerts. That's why one of the concerts does have a higher ordernumber. We couldn't buy 2 shows in one buy, but had to start over for a new order

I will be in LA and Oakland. There are some irritated people on the Facebook events page... Someone was irritated that at 10:12 they couldn't get tickets so they "(must not be one of) the elite fan club members".... I knew competition would be fierce for a "tour" this small, but apparently those in CA didn't realize that, I would guess, half of the venue will be out of staters (and country).

That being said, I do hope they fix the new system before any more rounds of presales. I was sick to my stomach thinking something was wrong with my credit card (after the system said there was, "there is a problem with your credit card information") only to then be locked out, down for maintenance, etc. Then low and behold, there was a receipt in my inbox... The exact same error messages and experience happened to my travel companion going for the other show....

Now for the important stuff, when and where are the AMITers meeting up??? Also, I wonder if there will be any merchandise, left over perhaps from the real tour?

[ingridswing]

They can get tickets, but not in presale anymore. Normal sale will start soon as well.

[tunnel85]

The more presales they organize, the more amateur they are. 
Every year it gets worse.
I already felt that amateurism during the Europe presales but it seems they've reached a "higher" level.

Went sold out too quickly ...
Am I wrong to assume the presale was spoiled by tour organizers and speculators  massively buying ticket ?

Anyway, I hope you'll be able get great seats and enjoy.    

[diremark86]

Indeed, although I do feel for everyone who was unable to get tickets at were actually there at 10am... I had to take leave from work to participate...

In addition to merch, it will be interesting to see if the concerts are available on USB like the rest of the privateering tour, and/or if anything will be recording visually (that would help offset the cost of a small tour as well)........

I don't think it was a ton of tour organizers and speculators. I feel that the demand is extremely high for only 4 shows. Based on the spread of order numbers, I would say MK.com sold a lot of tickets, they just went EXTREMELY fast. I personally am coming from 2,000 miles away, bringing a friend with me, and I know there are many people coming from much further. It was far more than CA local demand... I don't remember what the ticket limit was.

[tunnel85]

To be honest I never thought the demand would be so high.
Good to see there is a high demand. Maybe they'll think they should do more tours more often.

OMG!!!  I went to sleep last night still trying to figure out what happened!!!  I NEVER GOT THE PRESALE SCREEN ON MY DESKTOP, NOR ON MY LAPTOP... NEVER!!!!   

Seriously... it never appeared!  Fortunately, my husband was home (took time off of work to help out) and he was able to get the screen.  And from there on, it was a crazy, fierce 10 minutes of hell is all I could say. 

I wasted so much time on re-entering my credit card info, that I ended up with 2x the number I wanted, and would have continued with more orders of the same show, but decided to cut my losses, and move to the next venue, which was already SOLD OUT!!!

Also, the fact that many people like myself ended up with 2x or 3x the number of tickets they wanted, due to incorrect messaging that was returned after we submitted for purchase.  (First, the credit card check took too long -- one minute??? -- then, a message appeared that I had entered in the incorrect info.  So, I re-entered the info!) 
I also walked away from the pre-sale hell thinking I had NOTHING.
