GO NOW GO NOW.
New seats just released.

Nothing good for LA, but they had PIT for Houston PIT for NY
and a few others I spot checked.

I'd pick more up for some of you but my credit card really took a beating after the 20 I already ordered.
good luck

rows 1-8 available for Mountian View right now too!

I'm sure people on the West Coast though will miss out on it since it's 4:30 there now.

I was able to pick up a couple of San Diego Pit Tickets.

Does anyone in San Diego have Houston Pit Tickets and would like to do an even trade?

Sorry.

Does 'reserved seats' mean pit tickets? I went to order some 'reserved seats' and it didn't tell me what seats they would be. That's why I thought maybe that means pit tickets.

Please HELP! I want to get an order in.

Thanks. Looks like the San Diego pit tickets are gone then. Any idea how I would know what sort of seats I'm getting?

WASTE "tries" to get the best seats in the house for each seating category.

They TELL the venue to set aside the best seats (their # of allocation) in each section (PIT, RESERVED, Unovered REserved, Box seats, Bench seats, etc).

So in "theory" if you got "reserved" you should be in the best reserved seats in the house.

But WASTE says they can't guarantee that because some venues have a mind of their own, and some people's version of "best" is relative.

For example, if you got Holllywood Bowl BENCH seats you should be looking at section H, J, etc or even D possibly instead of X or W. But you never know.

One person will think 2nd row to the VERY SIDE is better/worse than 15th row DEAD CENTER. Which is better? It's relative.

And in processing orders in theory it was/is supposed to be by when the order was received, but some have speculated it's actually RANDOM.

And as pointed out you won't know exactly untill you get them in hand which will be 1st week or Semptember or so.

I got in right when they went onsale this morning.
Only Bench was available at the time.

And I see now nothing is, so maybe more later?!
Because NY was available too (PIT for the 9th, Seats for 10th) this morning, and now that isn't even an option to choose anymore.

Anyone think that they'll be releasing any more San Diego pit tickets? Or did they sell all of them on one lump?

Difficult to see.....I've been checking the site constantly within the last 48 hours and best available is still lawn (for every venue).

So its quite possible that all the good tickets are gone.

Yeah, hard to say, when they released the second "batch" well after the first round (a full day after) it was because they said they caught some "scalpers" buying tickets and cancelled those orders.

Basically orders that exceded the limits.

WASTE tries to monitor online sites like Ebay and they'll cancel orders if they catch any. But obviously it's pretty hard to catch.
But they'll release the tickets from cancelled orders if they do catch any.

If they really wanted to stop eBay scalpers, they could just register, and falsely bid on EVERY auction. That'd be neat.

Look like I may end up paying a lot to get the tickets off eBay. Kind of sucks, but I don't want to miss out on another tour.
