Modest Mouse - 2014 Tour Dates
07/13 – Kansas City, MO @ Uptwon Theater *

I'm pissed that this is the same night as Veruca Salt in St. Louis.

[superfan]

Anyone in here have experience with Elton John's Rocket Club for pre-sale tickets? Costs $25 to join but potentially has way less fees then AXS will. Trying to get 4 tickets so the whole family can go, any info would be helpful to save some money overall.

Just join and buy tickets. I wouldnt try it if you think theyre gonna sell the cheap ones on there though. Didnt happen for McCartney, doubt it will for Elton.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

So what you are saying is that you do not have experience with Elton John's Rocket Club for pre-sale tickets.

[ThomThom]

I believe he’s trying to tell Cutter that if he’s interested in the “cheap seats” the fan club allotment for artists of Elton John’s caliber usually does not consist of those types of seats, those are typically reserved for onsales to the general public, however if Cutter would like to score his family some regular to moderately priced seats those will more than likely be included in the fan club allotment, therefore making the $25 fee worth it.

[cutterbutter]

I just would like to hear from someone who has it because of my concern that they will just give me a password to go use on AXS and spend more on fees, regardless of the seats.

Because fuck AXS.

[ThomThom]

I doubt it's $25 for a password, probably a separate ticketing site.

edit: oh yeah, and FUCK AXS.

Do either of you actually know that about Elton John's fan club though? Cutter could just as easily make the same assumptions as you. If you haven't actually purchased a ticket through Elton John's fan club, you are not qualified to answer the question.

[ThomThom]

Sometimes people are just trying to be a little helpful and provide even the slightest insight without having a bachelor's in pre-sale ticketing... I will look into the qualifications for future reference.

[ThomThom]

Also Cutter, might actually be a password, which would be fucking lame...

*Priority seating in our EltonJohn.com Rocket Ticket presales*

Did you look at listings for any other gigs? They may have something on the ticket page that says "Fan Club Presale" if that's the case then you aren't avoiding those god awful AXS fees.

You're never qualified to answer any question yet you just looooove spouting your opinions around anyway.

[ThomThom]

Chris, send me your resume... I need to see those qualifications.

[Drinkey McDrinkerstein]

You're never qualified to answer any question yet you just looooove spouting your opinions around anyway.

I do, I do.

[cutterbutter]

I think i'm just gonna bug grandma to use her AMEX.

[ThomThom]

That's what Grandma's are for.

Shouldve majored in that way back when.

[Gribbz]

Fuck yeah to those Caribou dates. Excited to hear that Owen Pallett will be on the new album in one form or another.

[sonnyboy11]

Wait the f is Tony Levin coming with King Crimson on this tour?

[shakermaker113]

I think i'm just gonna bug grandma to use her AMEX.

speaking of which... I was wondering recently how one gets an AMEX that qualifies for pre-sales. will any AMEX card qualify you? if it's only certain kinds, then I assume they are not free? the ticketmaster help pages did not reveal much.

please only address this question if you have completed the pre-requisite courses in gouging customers. thank you.

[Spooks]

Wait the f is Tony Levin coming with King Crimson on this tour?

Robert Fripp (Guitar), Gavin Harrison (drums), Bill Rieflin (drums), Pat Mastelotto (drums), Tony Levin (bass and vocals), Mel Collins (Sax, flute), and Jakko Jakszyk (guitar, vocals).

Mel Collins being on the lineup is reason enough to go. I am excited to see what Fripp has in store for this lineup!

[MuseRadio]

If you are a big concert goer having a Preferred AmEx is totally worth it. They have some of the best seats out there and I've gotten nothing but amazing seats every time there is a preferred member pre-sale.

[sonnyboy11]

^ That. This. Ya. I got a Gold card a few months ago and haven't looked back.

[shakermaker113]

Thank you, very helpful.

Interesting that a prepaid is enough for a presale. I assume there is a cost to any of the cards that qualify for preferred seating.

[stochasticism]

Thank you, very helpful.

The Bluebird card has no fees at all as far as I know and the Serve card has a $1 monthly fee that you can get waived under certain conditions. Both of these are AMEX prepaid cards.

[amyzzz]

Ah damn. I don't have an Amex that qualifies for preferred seating. Very helpful post.

[bmack86]

Neither of those qualify for the preferred seating though.

Ah, my bad for posting at work when I only have enough time to scan a post quickly. You can get a platinum card with no fee for a year right now, though that turns into $450 a year after that (though you can often threaten to cancel and get them to forgo that fee if you are into haggling).
