@piroteknix The presale you have to type in your numbers at the time of the sale however once you pick your tickets you're given, I believe, 5 minutes to do that part and your tickets are considered reserved while your typing away so no one else can snatch them while going through the hoops. However, it is best to have the card out and handy when buying just to be safe. Buying for another member is possible but the thing is in order to do so you would have to change the name to be printed on the ticket which, once again I believe, would require you to to make your purchase, exit out, log back in to the other show you want and change the name to be printed. So yeah no offense but that's just too risky with these shows and doing this basically guarantees you won't get poo for tickets. Buying through ticketmaster on the regular sell date would be the only way to get tickets mailed to you before the show but you're taking a really big risk there since ticketmaster allows such things are bulk buyers, VIP accounts, and other such fascist crap granting preferred treatment over you, the fan, all in the name of commerce. Oh and in case you're wondering those bulk buyers and VIP accounts typically belong to the people who then turn around and sell the tickets for like a 500% or more mark up on ebay or some other 3rd party site.
I'm aiming for either this show or the one on the 29th or the one at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. I'll be driving from NC if anyone wants to team up to cut down on costs and such. I have a feeling the ticket prices will probably be anywhere from $50-$100 since LiveNation has a hand in the event coordination. Though I could be totally wrong since some dates are surprisingly only being sold through the site. Either way I think it's a safe bet to say they won't be no more than $100 at the most.
What I really want to know is if they will have special merch for the show like they did at the Nights of Nothing shows or The Self Destruct, Fragile, and With Teeth rehersal shows? I know for all those shows I just listed the merch that was only available at those dates was in extremely small supply and sold like crack minutes after the doors were open. Oh well hopefully I'll be able to find out.
