Then I decided to just buy one, and I put it in my credit card information wrong since I was in the middle of class, so I wasn’t paying as much attention and then it said wrong credit card information. I tried again and it said sorry this code has already been used. Tried to get ahold of Ticketmaster with no luck, and now it’s pribably too late. Very disappointed "

Call ticketmaster. I did and they said that a lot of those errors with credit cards went through and then they gave me a confirmation number and sent me an email. The charge hasn't shown up on my credit card yet but I have the confirmation number and the email has the seats and day I was trying to buy. 

Ugh I feel like an idiot for wasting two days (Monday and today) worrying over this and not even getting a code. 

I keep noticing that the show is wording things very carefully so as to suggest that there will be more tickets released for these dates. They replied as much to someone on Twitter who asked about specific dates. Am I being too wishful or is that everyone else’s kmpression?

Meanwhile, if you look on Stub hub, the Scalpers went wild. How did this prevent the Scalpers from getting tickets. Looks like the Scalpers were the ones that benefited. 

I looked at Stub Hub too.   Of course they got through as Verified Fans.   These prices are really discouraging and out of hand.   I can't imagine how anyone except a privileged few willing to just spend money would buy tickets at those prices.  It'll be interesting to see if they prices drop.  But they're never going to be reasonable.

Just looking at StubHub, the most I see at a performance is 35, a few 20s, lots of 2-8s, and even more 0s. Lets say each performance has has 35 seats up there, thats about 2.5% of seats that were taken by scalpers. Not a perfect system, but an overwhelming majority of these seats, I would say nearly all, went to fans. Of course, those numbers may fluctuate, but I think the system works, flaws and all. 

Well I think everyone knew it wasn't a guarantee, but it sure does suck to not even get a code to try. If I never get a code life goes on, but I sure do hope it will work out for us. Especially because with my family member's deteriorating health, I'm not sure he'll be able to travel when the next block of tickets goes on sale. He's not going to cry or anything if I don't get tickets, but I know it would mean the world to him. We'll see how it goes.

I just checked Stubhub. Wow, I bought 6 tickets which I need. But after seeing what people are asking for on Stubhub, how bad do i really want to see it. I could pay for all 6 tickets and still make a nice profit. 

When you go to buy them a box comes up that says you will receive 1 ticket that is good for both perfofmances. Is that how it works in Lomdon? When I checked out this morning I was under the impression I would pick up 2 tickets.

How much do we think their advance sale is? It must have beat Hello, Dolly’s record....

Not saying I will do it, just find it interesting that I could do it. And no one took tickets away from anyone, you either got a code or you didn't.  I got a code and bought my 6 tickets. What I do with them now is my business.

Doubt it. Seems like they’re gonna do more ticket releases.
