Me too! [In reply to] Can't Post

I got lazy and bought them online as I didn't want to go slip-sliding over to the box office again. Mad Crazy

Apparently seats aren't exactly going like hotcakes as good seats are still available, especially if you have a gold AmEx card, which I do. I had been planning to cancel it last month (before getting billed the annual fee) and totally forgot, and now I'm glad I forgot. Now I can feel lucky instead of stupid. Cool

I thought it was funny that it asked if I want express shipping on the tickets. Yeah, I'm really worried about getting them in time. Tongue Laugh

At some point, we should probably move to the Moot section [In reply to] Can't Post

I will say my heart greatly desires this thing. I have talked to dear hub and he doesn't think it's unreasonable. I have traveled extensively by car all over the US but only short trips by plane and the thought of being in NYC frankly frightens me a little. I am holding off on a decision for a short time but I'd love to pick brains about traveling to NYC at some point.

I will be torn in two (no pun intended) about mooting. The soundtrack segment (at Doug's site) is getting semi-organized too.

2nd Mezzanine, row D, seat 507 [In reply to] Can't Post

Looks like I'm the cheapskate of the group.

On a side note, I'd love to know why the convenience charge is so freaking high for Ticketmaster. Yeah, it's always high but geez over $10. How is that convenient for me? Huh? Huh? LOL!

Got my tix! Saturday night.... [In reply to] Can't Post

I spent two bucks and saved $23 in Ticketmaster charges but jumping on the subway and going to Radio City....got the same row I was seeing on Ticketmaster....Orchestra JJ....that's close....these were $84 each I think.....I only hope I can see all the performers and are now down too low....those in the first mezzanine will have a great view and hear it well too. The sound at Radio City is great....

am surprising my sister with a ticket, she plays viola and has performed LOTR music with some crack orchestras....we've seen Shore's LOTR symphony but this should be even better with the actual movie....

I'm sure tix will sell the closer we get to the concert date! It was cold and icy (still is) but I walked around and saw the tree at Rockefeller Center and saw a couple get engaged on the skating rink as the crowd cheered....there were two little old men in front of me yelling "zeez iz good news!" It was like watching Aragorn and Arwen with two old Tooks.....ok, perhaps in my mind...lol.

Oh dangit...resistance is futile:) [In reply to] Can't Post

I have changed my mind and decided that I really, really, REALLY want to go to this, not just meet you all. Problem: I have 1) just finished moving and am low on funds in the first place, and 2) I was going to use the $100 I had saved for U2, for a ticket...I don't have time to check the site, but considering the venue, I know even the cheapest ones are a LOT more than that....
(who cares, the U2 tickets can wait...I'll manage that somehow!)

(am off to work and in a hurry)...but the money had to go just last night for storm related funds.to help a friend who was without power. let's see...we had an epic Ice Storm last week that was so bad that a state of emergency was declared in 2 states-NY and Mass.-- and we've gotten Federal Disaster Aid. Lucky I didn't lose power though, though today some people in rural areas are *still* without power....
Friday we got almost a foot of snow, we are beginning another day-long storm right now and--no lie--are supposed to get another storm Christmas Eve.
The downtown area, with all the 19th-century architecture, looks beautiful in the blizzard right now.

Excuse the rambling post. But I have to leave in 5 minutes (running late this morning) and don't have time to write....I was going to PM some people on this but really truly do NOT have time...

.what I want to ask is...since I am broke right now, is there a way ANYBODY can get me a ticket and I can pay them for it, via "installment plan"?SmileSmile

This is a once in a lifeitme thing and this stuff NEVER comes my way. I am determined not to miss this. Once a few years ago, I missed out on Springsteen tickets--they sold out--but via the Backstreets exchange on his website, I got a ticket from someone the same way.
And you wouldn;t have to send me the ticket, until you get all the funds.:)

Please excuse this, but I really am suddenly broke right now, and am afraid it will sell out very soon. And I don't care where I am in the building, as long as I get in--I don't care if I am up in the balcony in the last row, away from you guys..though being with a sibbie would be nice. But that's OK....

(Whoever the Mod. is, right now, please excuse this post. I don't mean to be putting a post like this "in public" but like I said, I really have to run, I was origionally planning to PM a few people but don't have time.
If it isn't TORN "policy" , just give me a pass this once, OK? I hope you'll undertsand.:)

I have to work late tonight and won't be able to cjeck back until late tonight or tomorrow morning...but if anyone can help, I'd appreciate it...:)

I'm in! [In reply to] Can't Post

As L.Ron kindly got the two tickets for Saturday night, I'll be able to join you all! Work and visa permitting of course - but if they haven't forcibly evicted me from the US by then I'll be there! And of course, now that I know CAhobbit and deej can be there too, we three ladies can put our heads together and plan mooting events! So glad Smeagirl will be there too. Hurrah - NYC moot!! Smile

I might actually do this! [In reply to] Can't Post

I read this post rather wistfully, and went to mourn to my friend about this unattendable event, and she gave me a puzzled look, and asked why the heck I couldn't go. So, I pointed out that it was in New York, and I'd be in college in Texas, and she pointed out that I've got a job, and means of saving money, and it's Columbus Day weekend.

Anyway, I was kind of inspired to ask my dad about this, who said that it'd be fine if I went, and I didn't really need his permission, since I'd kind of be living away from home, anyway. I spent two days alone in France before (it improved my French, if nothing else), so I don't really think he has any problem with me going to this.

I'm almost afraid to post this, in case something changes, and I end up not going, but as of now, I'm planning on buying a ticket for Saturday sometime this week. *nervous giggle*
Smile

Same thought process! [In reply to] Can't Post

I have means of making money, so school is no excuse. The only thing is I can't get my ticket until the 2nd of January and I'm spasming over here praying that there will still be tickets for the Saturday show Crazy

Hope to see you there!

sell outs... [In reply to] Can't Post

Doug kind of reassured me that he didn't think a quick sell out was an issue because of the size of the venue. Additionally, someone in this thread (can't remember who at the moment) said they weren't flying off the shelf.

Makes me want to paraphrase a song I was listening to last night:

Those bells...
Those chiming Shire bells...
Those bells...
Those chiming Shire bells...

They cheer us on our merry way, sweet Shire Bells
They cheer us on our merry way, sweet Shire Bells.
