I thought it would be helpful to post this information from Ticketmaster before the next tour - and presale - are announced:

Q. Are there other ways I can purchase tickets to events I am interested in attending?
A. Promoters sometimes conduct pre-sales or special promotions. A pre-sale typically occurs online a few days or weeks before tickets go on sale to the general public. A percentage of all tickets for the event are made available during the pre-sale.

Q. What is an Internet Pre-sale?
A. Occasionally, some events will be available to purchase online before they go on sale to the general public. These pre-sales frequently require a password that may be distributed by the venue, artist, team, or promoter of either the event or the pre-sale, or distributed by Ticketmaster.com via email promotions and TicketAlerts. Often, these passwords are distributed to exclusive members of clubs or certain other types of groups and cannot be offered to members of the public. Links may be published on the Event Information page at the time of pre-sale. Ticketmaster Phone Center and Customer Service representatives usually cannot give out passwords. If an event is scheduled for pre-sale and we are authorized to publish it in advance, the event page may list an "Internet Pre-sale" date with the ticket sales information.

When entering your pre-sale password into a promotional page, window or box in an email, please ensure you are entering it in the appropriate box: A pre-sale password is not the same as your My Account password.

Internet pre-sales are usually sold from a reserved allotment of seats, which may not reflect the same availability during the public ticket sale. Internet pre-sales provide the advantage of exclusive purchasing windows in advance of the public sale, which often results in less people competing for the pool of available seats.

Q. Why is it that sometimes I hear about an event that is supposed to go on sale, but when I call Ticketmaster or visit a Ticketmaster Ticket Center, they don't know anything about it?
A. Often, the venue or promoters prefer to wait until all terms about the event are finalized to protect the consumer from being misinformed. We don't release any information until we receive authorization from the promoter or venue; sometimes, this can happen after the media has already begun publicizing the event.

Melody I tryed to get tickets for MSG and there are no good seats being sold today or they sold out within 10 minutes????? I did not buy, because it cost so much to travel that I have great demands as far as tickets are concerned...Did they donate all the first sections and front left and right Loga to charity??

This morning when Ticketmaster began selling tickets to the public, I went to see if any good seats had been released. NO. I went to Tickets.com and they directed me to a site that had lots of good seats for outrageous prices. Its called Razorgator, a fitting name...
