Presale Tickets - FAIL

    Presale Tickets - FAIL
    Vee says (24 Jan '13)

    Interesting... Just spoke to ticketmaster about why my presale code was only offering me tickets in the upper sections of the lower levels which are furthest from the stage. They told me that the presale tickets selected for the Minneapolis 3/15 show are not on the floor, and they are only in the lower sections furthest from the stage or the back corners of the arena and that I will have a better chance getting good seats buying the tickets when they go on sale to the general public.

    What is the point of offering the members of your fan club early access to tickets if they are going to be crappy seats? Disappointing....

Was excited for the pre sale. It was the only way I was able to get my tickes and not have to worry about not having any at all. I have been wanting to see concert since you performed in Sturgis and had to miss it because of hubby's PTSD. Means the world to use to get to take the bikes out on a nice ride and catch the show. Thank God you are able to play North Platte, NE. Gives us a chance to go to the daughters bar/resteraunt in a small community outside of Platte then back to Platte to see the other daughter and concert. Going to be one hell of a day and one awesome ride on the HOG's.

Wow! What the heck is going on with this new tour and website? Seems like I've heard more problems from people than ever. Sorry to hear about your experience. Hope you find seats. I have given up and I am a KRC fan club member. I have been working with the people who help with this new sit for about a month and still cannot get into the site. Just got the presale code today for the Michigan concerts, but, man, it's too late now. They're all over. My family is not going and it's a shame because we just love Bobby and always talk about his concerts. We love Bobby, but, we're done with paying our money for this website, a t-shirt (not made in the USA), and a laminate thing that is worthless. Sorry. We'll always love Kid Rock, but, the new fan club needs to get some professional help. Rock On, Sister!!!!!

I was thinking since Seger is the headliner of the concert, right? then Seger probably has a larger # of fan club presales seats...just a guess :/

I have managed to buy floor tickets for the last 4-5 years through ticketmaster. Today is the first time I am having crappy luck!

Bruce - you took my tickets! hahaha! Glad some of us will at least be on the floor!

Just thought of something else....This is the Seger/Kid Rock show, right? Because what you have described is a classic Punch Andrews presale move...altho Bruce O got good seats..maybe there are just less available with 2 artists, 2 fanclubs, etc.

This is what I think, and I have no way to prove it, but....
I think TM is the one who 'decides' which customers get what picks.
If you have a TM account and you are a good customer, you will prolly have better picks.
Example: I was looking for one floor seat for one of the Saginaw shows. I kept pulling up the left side only...meanwhile my pal RSMS was looking too (not at same time) and kept pulling up a good seat on the right close to the catwalk. It never pulled up for me even tho it was available..and we weren't on at the same time. Now I'm a good TM patron, but Laurie (with her kids' and her own tix) is a better one.
And I have a Seger pal who we says has 'The Midas Touch' because he always gets great pick--also an above average purchaser. And if you're not on the TM system, welllll...
Coincidence?

Just got 2 floor seats Row 22 and 2 in section 118 just to the left of the stage. Not bad for face value. Only a few days after the boat. Life is good motherfucker.
