I was shut out too. I was first in line, BUT the young man who ran the computer wasn't sure how to log into the system, kept calling support for help. Oh, by the way the place were I was at didn't have any show up until after 10am. Just my luck :cry: If any one has 3 lawn tickets they want to get rid of, PM me or email me.

I was calling from the home phone and 2 cells consecutively - didn't get through until 10:30, and was told they were sold out, and so was Chicago's Saturday show except for accessible. Fortunately, at least 2 of our group got through, so we've got 16 out of 40 of us covered, including me!

Yeah! Face value for the 1st time!

I'll let you know if more got through and we've somehow got extra. :D

We managed to get tickets! I had to work but my mom went to a drug store and was first in line and got 6 of them. So My mom, Dad, myself and sister are joining my uncle and aunt for their first concert! My uncle was the one who turned me onto JB so this will be an AWESOME experience!

Section 202 Pavillion row G.
Got on at 10:00 and that was the best available. Got 2 tickets though.
Was sold out by 10:11 as I was trying to get 2 additional lawn tickets for friends of mine.
See you all there.

You must've been doing that at 10:14 at the same time I got mine in line...person in front of me asked for four and was shut out. I asked for one and got it! (We had 9 in our group, so someone further up in line got the first 8 at the ticket limit).

I was third in line of about 30 people. I got 4 pavillion, section 201.

The problem is that they sell Tweeter and Alpine on the same day and everyone is bumping heads. The Alpine people are griping that Tweeter people are cutting into their ticket buying time and versa vice.

I cant believe how many people there are who think they have a good shot at getting tickets online or thru the phone. Your best shot is going to a ticketmaster location and pulling a good lottery ticket.

See you on the 28th of June.

3 telephones and one internet connection tried for 15mins then got the "sold out" recording :(
Anybody out there have a couple of extra lawn seats, if not you'll see us cruising the parking lot anyway.

I got 6 lawn and 2 reserved (Section 101 Row I - guess which ones I am going to use :D ) on-line. My wife, sister-in-law and her friend got an additional 18 lawn at a TM outlet so 26 total for our group of 28 - not too shabby!

I usually have no trouble getting Lawn online, but after last year (fights, rudeness, etc.) swore off the lawn at Alpine. Got in right away and picked up 2 in Sec. 202 Row BBB. Much better than sitting in Row CCC Shrimper! :lol:

We did quite well, we just get lawn since we all know that's where the party is at. 8) I'm wondering why everybody is saying it's difficult to get tix online?!?! Was online this past Saturday and went to ticketmaster's site at 10:05, bought 8 lawn tix for Chicago. Then proceeded to buy 8 more for Alpine Valley, grand total of 3 minutes invested for 16 tickets. Also, did the same thing last year and had the same results. Are those having difficulty using dialup rather than broadband, maybe that's the issue? Either way, looking forward to both shows and best of luck to those who have yet to land tix. Heading to the Nashville show this weekend for a little warm up. Woohoo!!!!

I was dead last in line in Chicago (Coconuts [Damen]) for tickets due to a bad draw and still managed to get 4 tickets for Alpine at 10:25am. I also got 2 for Sat. Tweeter. I had TicketMaster on the phone and they told me that there was nothing available for either show. The guy working the computer told me differently when I FINALLY got to the front. Thank GOD!!!
