Second of all, you're gonna get screwed up the (pardon my expression) ass for the service price. I got up early on sunday and called the 707 BASS number (i don't know why, i live in a 408, but that's beside the point. after an hour of hitting redial every five seconds i finally got through and then i proceeded to order my 42.50 tickets and then found out i have to pay about $10 in charges making the total cost of two tickets a grand total of $101.50 or so. i just hope my seats are good. that's my story. go on with your lives now. katie ~~my page o' nothing http://student.monterey.edu/stohlmannkatheri/world/ not for those who are easily offended (hmm i wonder what that means...)~~ - -------------------------------------------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe lilith-fair-fans - -or-- unsubscribe lilith-fair-fans-digest ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 04 May 1998 23:25:51 CDT From: "Matthew DesOrmeaux" Subject: [lilith-fair-fans] Houston tickets I was just wondering if anyone here knew when the tickets for the two Houston dates are going on sale, and maybe even where they will be sold. Also, what about the radio stations that usually give away tickets? Would I have a better chance of going early and buying a ticket from the venue or Ticketmaster(not from some of the posts on here *sheesh*), or taking my chances with winning them? Or maybe I could buy them at Ticketmaster Online... *shrug* This is going to be my first real concert, not to mention a SARAH concert!!! So any help or information would be GREATLY appreciated.

I'm not sure but I think it just came out. A local CD store opens sometimes at midnight when they have a *big* new release. I was driving by and saw a bunch of cars there so I stopped in. Anyway, this is in my opinion, one of Tori's best, if not THE best albums yet. I'm really happy because I don't really like "Boys for Pele" that much. Does anyone know if Tori was ever asked to play Lilith? I've been wondering that. I know she usually likes to play smaller venues, maybe that has something to do with it. Hmmmm.....

Some artists like the big venue, some don't. Tori and someone like Ani DiFranco will never play at Lilith because they like to do their own thing, and because they don't like such big, corporate-sponsored venues. The Indigo Girls prefer the smaller venues. I saw them in L.A doing a benefit show, and it had less than 300 people. They said they love doing Lilith and all, but they much prefer these small, intimate settings. It helps bring out the artist in them. Its not anything against Lilith Fair per se. Its more that Tori and Ani are independent artists. I was extremely (pleasantly) suprised to see Liz Phair on the bill, because I know she hates big venues, but hopefully it will give her more exposure. - -------------------------------------------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe lilith-fair-fans - -or-- unsubscribe lilith-fair-fans-digest ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 13:11:59 -0700 (PDT) From: jodiolio Subject: [lilith-fair-fans] Gorge shows if you are interested in meeting up before the Gorge Lilith Fair shows (on either 6-20 and/or 6-21) privately e-mail me with the heading of "Gorge shows" in the subject...so far about 7 people have contacted me and are interested in meeting...i was thinking about meeting at the campground, but if there are any objections, include them please and now, a word from our sponsors.....

The Indigo Girls prefer the smaller Yes, for instance you would never see Tori play at, for example, the largest indoor venue between Baltimore and North Jersey, which is also used by the Philadelphia 76ers, and which is owned by one of the largest banking associations in the country (which NA gained ownership of the arena by purchasing one of Pennsylvania's largest banks, whose name is prominently displayed all over the building) and who had to sell a few hundred local branches just to clear anti-trust hurdles.

BASS, which is an acronym for "Bay Area Seating Service", is the *equivalent* of Ticketmaster for northern california and northern nevada. Advantix, Inc. recently purchased BASS, but BASS continues to operate the same as it did before the buyout. BASS has added service charges onto tickets as long as i can remember (and i've been going to concerts in the SF bay area since 1981). pearl jam's beef was with TM, because they handle the ticketing for the vast majority of the US. i believe they were quibbling over a 25 cents difference in the service charge per ticket. PJ wanted only $2.25 to be tacked onto each ticket, while TM was willing to go as low as $2.50. during their last tour (1996?), PJ hooked up with ETM, who still charged a service charge per ticket, but it was much lower than TM's. > oh well i guess Chris did get lucky and the person forgot to > charge :) very lucky, that's for sure! :-) *rhondda* - -------------------------------------------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe lilith-fair-fans - -or-- unsubscribe lilith-fair-fans-digest ------------------------------ Date: Tue, 5 May 1998 19:11:35 -0500 (CDT) From: "rainswept@nwu.edu" Subject: Re: [lilith-fair-fans] BASS and Ticketmaster In addition to this fact, Pearl Jam had a problem with the fact that Ticketmaster appeared to be a monopoly because fans didn't have an alternative choice to Ticketmaster. I believe ticketmaster to absolutely be a monopoly because it never seems as though there are any other choicesas to where one can get a ticket for a show aside from the box office at the venue itself--if they are selling tickets. But, oh well...I totally respect Pearl Jam for standing up to Ticketmaster for the benefit of their fans. It took a lot of guts to do that and they didn't tour for a long time because of this. They lost out on a lot of money too. Good for them for taking a stand! On Tue, 5 May 1998, Rhondda L. Ashby wrote: > Michele M McPherson wrote: > > > OK everyone...this is the deal...

Rather than getting annoyed at the busy signal, I went down to the local Ticketmaster outlet and stood in line for 3 hours to buy my tickets. My friend was supposed to buy us tickets and at the last minute on Friday night he informed me that he would not in fact be able to buy them. So I had to go get a line number and of course I was far back on the line. On top of that! they had the lawn seats and terrace seats listed as the same price so i went for the terrace seats. It turns out the first 15 rows of terrace cost just as much as the other seats...so i ended up paying more.

I would have agreed with you except for one thing...I found out on Friday that they redid the seating at the Arts Center this year. They wanted to make it so it could accommodate more people (it now holds like 17,500...I guess it used to hold closer to 13,000). So basically where the lawn seats used to be are now regular seats (they call them the Terrace seats) and the lawn seats are behind those...though it probably slopes up so I guess they're behind and above those. When I asked the guy at TM where the lawn seats are now he said back by where the fountain used to be. So, I don't know exactly how bad or good they are now...I'm sitting in the Terrace seats. >PS the phone line was busy probably because the spice girl tix went on >sale at 8am too.

Ok, I don't know where in NJ you live but try checking with your local TM outlet first to see if they'll be able to sell them to you. Last year a group of us went to see Live at the VA Beach Amphitheatre. (My friend is a huge fan of Live and also loves VA Beach so we took a road trip for the weekend.) Anyway, he called up our local TM and they told him he could buy them from them the morning they went on sale. We had to go down and pay in cash but it wasn't a bad deal. Tickets went on sale at 9am...we got there at around 10:30am and got 14th row. Just a suggestion... Ok, that's all. :) Kari dreamer@fweep.com - -------------------------------------------------------- To unsub, mail majordomo@smoe.org with: unsubscribe lilith-fair-fans - -or-- unsubscribe lilith-fair-fans-digest ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 6 May 1998 17:09:31 -0700 (PDT) From: 90 blackwell Subject: [lilith-fair-fans] just checking just checking to see if I got the address for this list right =) hi dols <*waving like a dork*>!!!!!

Know what? At some venues the counter sales are still through ticketmaster, and you pay the TM charges even buying at the box office. TM has a real racket here in Philadelphia. Every venue is TM exclusive.

(stupid question!) This is so obviously some kind of Monopoly and, at least from what I remember --and do correct me if I am wrong-- monopolies are illegal. I can't even think of the words to describe what I am thinking. :( The box offices at venues here in Chicago --the one's I know of at least-- don't seem to charge extra even for a TM show. I just would like to be able to get tickets through some other agency --and I am so sick of TM that I wouldn't care if they both cost the same-surcharges and all-- just to NOT get tickets from Ticketmaster. Just mouthing off. :) > > Know what?

Spectrum's box office isn't ticketmaster (I think it's the Keswick Theater out by me that had this little racket going), but they do have an exclusive deal where if an act plays at the spectrum they have to use TM and only TM for ticket sales. TM says that no one has the obligation to you use ticketmaster, but instead people choose to avail themselves of TM service. H/e, deals like the one TM has with all the Philadelphia venues locks anyone else out from offering the same service at a lower price. It is, of course, no surprise to find out that TM's owner is one of Microsoft's co-founders (with Bill Gates.)

Go to a scalper? I wouldn't. Go to one of those other ticket broker places that buy up all the good seats ahead of you so that you get crappy ones unless you want to go to them and pay double what you could have in the first place? I think not. It's usually either TM or no go. There should be TWO or more companies selling tickets for the same event so that you have a choice. The problem is that the venues DO make a deal with TM so that they (TM) are exclusive. It sucks. ********** > > TM says that no one has the obligation to you use ticketmaster, but > instead people choose to avail themselves of TM service.
