Ridiciulous pre-sale!

Two words..... BUSH LEAGUE! This pre-sale was awful. For the Darien Lake show, they listed the 59.50 tix as sections 100/200. Are you kidding me? How do you run a pre-sale without giving the exact ticket location. If my seats aren't in the 100 section, I'm definitely trying on Saturday morning for the regular sale. No way am I going to the show that day and not knowing where my seats are. Why couldn't they have ironed out this Inner Machine before the album launched? It's not like they drop an album every year. Come on.

Same problem with Jones Beach and Holmdel.
One price for the whole venue, no specs on where the seats are located.
I guess it's gonna take a leap of faith in the fan club that they are providing a good seat.
This oughtta be interesting.

Other fan clubs do that too, Aerosmith waits until pre-sale is over and then puts people in the "best" places. All we can do is keep our fingers crossed. I will be pissed though if they are not in 100!

Boston (Tweeter Center) only listed the sections: floor seats, shed seats, etc. No info on where your seats would be as far as seat # or row #. It was also will call.

I'm a member of another fanclub where you have to do your presale directly through ticketmaster and it's a NIGHTMARE. 9 times out of 10 the scalpers get all the good seats. The way the Goos have it set up pretty much eliminates any scalping because of the will call pick up.
I wasn't too crazy at first about not knowing where my seats would be but I just decided to have faith. They've been working night and day to make this awesome for us so I'm going to trust that they did their best. It's pretty hard to get super close anymore with all the holds that the radio stations, management, band, season ticket holders, etc. get before we even get to buy anything. They said 4% of the best after holds so I'm going to trust that.
I just went back and checked my venue and the floor seats are now completely gone.

Same here 
Tried for 2 tix to MA at exactly 10:01am - $67.50 seats - told me ADVANCE SALE OVER
What the hell did they reserve only 50 seats the most? How can they be sold out in 1 minute?
And did you read the fine print when you agree to charges?
These tix are all WILL CALL ONLY - that sucks, they won't mail them to you, why not? 
These are through Cinderblock and In-Ticketing, there is no seating chart - and I have no tickets now
I'm not buying lower price tickets to be at the back of the venue/or lawn. They dont tell you section, row, or seat, are you kidding! You charge your credit card not knowing anything?
I read on other boards fans are buying these tix with no idea where their seats are, I think thats terrible 
I joined the fan club just as everyone else did for presale/good seats...so much for that, I think I'm gonna wait for Friday

You mentioned Aerosmith pre-sales. Do they at least let you know after the pre-sale where your seats are?
I just went on the Inner Machine msg boards and people are going insane over there. I really feel bad for peolpe who were typing in their credit card information only to click submit and find out there are no seats available! That is awful! With Ticketmaster or Tickets.com, once you get to the credit card screen, you have x number of mins to get your info in, but the seats are guaranteed as long as you get it in that time.

Aerosmith did not tell you about your seats until 1 week before. When I did it for Darien a few years ago I think I was in row 20 but that was because their fan club is huge and it went by seniority in the fan club. I was new. People that had been members a long time got excellent seats.
I am nervous about it, but I doubt its worse than ticketmaster! Will call is a good thing-thats the only way to keep out scalpers.

I am also a Hanson fan club member and let me tell you, I get a presale date, a password, through ticketmaster, and always great seats.
They're always within the first 10 rows of the venue, I've been doing it for years, I've never had a problem, it's all works out beautifully.
Tickets are mailed to you, you know exactly where you're sitting AND they do Meet/Greet chances with every ticket purchase.
This is ridiculous

Here's the response I got from InTicketing when I emailed them about the show:
"Thank you for purchasing ticket today. Currently, all of our fan club tickets are for pick up at the day of the event at the venue box office on 'will call'. We do not have the seat selection as of yet, but rest assured, you will get some of the best seats in the house!
We appreciate you purchasing tickets through our fan club.
See you at the show!"
