Anyone still trying to buy tickets? I got 3 in Section 116 Row F

are you looking to sell them? if so, PM me.

[faxman75]

Can't we just kick it old school like we did at NINJA? Coolers and beers in the parking lot yo! Tommy, I will bring you a sandwich to munch on since you don't necessarily drink

[suprefan]

I get a sandwich too?

[faxman75]

You're not going. If you are then Sasha would need to add a +1.

[TomAz]

Can someone explain to me how floor seats work at this show?

By which I mean, I have a ticket, but it's real shitty, and I'd be looking to buy an floor ticket if such a thing is actually doable, but I don't know if it is.

Also, if it's not doable, I'd be looking to upgrade to a good lower level seat.

[faxman75]

Tom, I have a floor ticket through W.A.S.T.E. I'm not up on what that all means as far as how getting my ticket works. Am I able to pick up my ticket and not go into the venue immediately?

I'm not the biggest Radiohead fan in the world and I would be willing to offer someone who likes them a LOT the floor ticket. If this is possible I would consider trading with you. Where are you seated? Does anyone know how W.A.S.T.E. ticketing works at the venue?

Waste tix are at will call

Well for the AZ show it is Gen Admission Floor (standing). The WASTE tickets just give you early entry-well that assumes they do it the same way as the recent past.

Upper deck, in the back. I think in an upper row even. Choice real estate!

[faxman75]

Jesus christ. I was hoping it would at least have an alright view of the stage. This isn't going well for you. I'll consider it though.

How early typically?

[amyzzz]

That's the first I've heard about WASTE early entry...

[cutterbutter]

They did it at the Roseland shows and some others. Atoms for Peace gigs had some too. Separate line kind of thing, not like going in way early but they open that door first.

[Gribbz]

I wonder who's designing the show poster.

Yeah, I was told it wasn't for every show.

[TomAz]

Fax fwiw I wouldnt' consider it an even trade; I'd pay you (or anyone) to swap.

this seems relevant.

[TomAz]

You have a pit ticket. What does this mean. (I know what a pit is, I mean, are they doing those tickets differently?)

[amyzzz]

I think pit is ticket- less entry. I have to pick up my tickets (receipts? Stubs? Wristbands? ) right before I go in.

[Sushov23]

Shit this is coming up, I still need a ticket. Let's just say things went bad for me during the W.A.S.T.E presale.

Hope for the best. Stubhub might be your salvation, but you'll be paying a hefty price.

[TomAz]

Is all the floor the pit?

[Gribbz]

I believe so.

[tigermilkboy]

My gig partner that night is on the fence due to work. There is a 50-50 chance I will have a spare floor ticket. I will post it on here, if/when the spare is available.

[suprefan]

It does not have to be paperless, whoever said that? What if they hand you a ticket when you walk in that gate and wristband you also? As of right now, the ticketmaster floor tickets are the only paperless ones. No specifics have been given out for waste ones.

Is all the floor the pit?

Yes, the whole floor is general admission.


IF you bought waste tickets for this show and they were GA, there is supposedly early entry to go with it. At the Roseland shows it was 30 minutes before regular doors opened. Everyone in that line got into the venue before those 30 minutes were up. So this could bode well for anyone who bought those tickets this time around. It would mean they only sold a couple hundred this way.

[TomAz]

I think I'm making myself unclear.

Can I buy a floor ticket from somebody else? Or is it one of those show your id, here's your ticket, go inside right now, types of things?

This is great. Hopefully they email info out about this.

Its semi tricky. With it being paperless, really all you have to do is be there with the person who bought the floor ticket, they swipe their card and whatnot, get the reciept and give it to you, and you go in. IF you got a floor from a person who has WASTE, its a safer bet probably.


And you should research more sometimes, I thought you were an intelligent and resourceful adult.

Question

What's the deal with paperless tickets?

Answer

What is paperless ticketing?

When you go paperless (available on select events), you get through the gate with two things you're carrying around already: your photo ID and your credit card. No paper tickets means no forgetting them on the kitchen counter!

At the gate they'll swipe the credit card you used for purchase (you won't be charged again), check your ID, and hand you a slip of paper with your seat location on it. Easy.

What happens at the gate?

It's pretty much the same as picking up tickets at a movie theater kiosk or picking up your boarding pass at an airport kiosk. All it takes is a credit card swipe (you won't be charged again) and a quick photo ID check to admit you and your party! You'll get a slip of paper with your seat locations on it so you know where you're going.

Is there a special process for buying paperless tickets?

Nope, when paperless tickets are offered for an event you buy them the same way you buy regular paper tickets or TicketFast (print-at-home) tickets: with your credit card at Ticketmaster.com or with Charge-by-Phone. That credit card becomes your "ticket" in; just bring the card and your photo ID to the venue.

Can I buy paperless tickets with my virtual credit card?

Sorry, you can't use a virtual credit card number to pay for paperless tickets because there'd be nothing to swipe at the gate to get you in! (Swiping does not charge you again.)

What if I lose the credit card I used to buy my paperless tickets, or it expires?

Don't worry, you can still get in!

If your event is more than two days away, contact us by clicking the Ask a Question tab above and we'll make sure you breeze through the gate no problem.

If your event is sooner, please go straight to the venue box office with your new credit card, your photo ID, and your Ticketmaster order number and they'll get you in. Don't have your new card yet? Call us!

If I buy the tickets for me and my friends, how do they get in?

The credit used to buy paperless tickets acts as the one and only ticket for your entire party, which means everyone must enter together. So make sure that friend who's always late arrives on time!

Will I be charged again when they swipe my credit card at the gate?

Absolutely, positively not! The swipe at the gate just confirms your purchase; you will not be charged again.

What if I forget my credit card?

The credit card you use to purchase your ticket IS your ticket so don't leave home without it, or your photo ID! You need both of those things to get in because no paper ticket will be printed.

What if someone in my party arrives late?

If you can't travel to the event together, you'll have to hang out till everyone gets there - your entire party must enter at the same time once the credit card used to purchase the tickets is swiped. Encourage your friends to arrive on time!

If I don't have paper tickets, how will I know where I'm sitting?

After your credit card is swiped at the gate, you'll get a slip of paper with your seat locations on it so you know exactly where you're going.

Can I buy paperless tickets from other ticket sellers?

Only Ticketmaster sells official paperless tickets to Ticketmaster events.

Can I sell my paperless tickets on TicketExchange?

That depends - the artist, venue, and promoter make that decision for their events. If they OK it, you can post your paperless tickets on TicketExchange through the "Sell Tickets" tab on the event page on Ticketmaster.com, or from "Order History" inside your My Ticketmaster account.

I posted my paperless tickets for sale on TicketExchange but I don't see them. Where are they?

All paperless tickets posted for sale on TicketExchange appear at 10 AM local time the following day. Please check back then to see your tickets.

[nyarlathotoats]

on another note, counting today, only 29 days till the show!

[chairmenmeow47]

ok here's the deal. yardhouse can only do a reservation at 4pm. the majority of the party has to be there by 4:15pm, or they will start seating our tables.

QUESTION: can y'all be there by 4pm?
if not, we will either have to look into another place or tailgate. please let me know soon, i will probably PM people if i don't get a response, thanks

[locachica73]

I can be there at 4.

[westcoastpirate]

4pm will be cutting it close for me. My parent's are watching our daughter for us while we go to the concert, and I don't think they get home until 3:30pm at the earliest. However, they are both teachers and I think they may be on Spring Break that week, which means we can drop her off earlier. I will find out for sure.

EDIT-Just looked up both their school districts and it looks like they are on Spring Break so we should be able to get there.
