It’s ticketmaster ... it’s always a sh!tshow
Thanks for the presale code Gabby!
No prob, although I'm not certain it was needed even still.
Oh lord - the Depeche Mode thing where you earned points by buying their album to get you further up the lineup to get tickets was an utter mess. So much so, I actually gave up, and didn't get tickets for the concert. To this day I don't listen to that album - bad bad memories, and felt totally duped into buying stuff I didn't entirely need.
Buying these NO/PSB tix was a dream by comparison although I still found some of the choices confusing.
Got my tickets for Philadelphia. What a nightmare trying to order from here (I'm based in London). Big group American friends going. We paid for the "Silver" package as well. Second section back. Not as close as I'd like but still should be good. Was considering NYC too but figured the $$ was adding up as my husband and I are flying over!

If you end up going to the NYC show, let me know! Still in awe of that DJ set you did at that PSB academic seminar a few years ago!! (I wasn’t there but I loved the track list, videos, etc.!)
Everything I selected ended with a ‘sorry some other fans have beaten you to these tickets...try again’
When I eventually had 2 in my basket I was stressing while the countdown was running on the select payment method. By chance I ended up on the page where I selected I was not from the US and then it showed the cards I had saved previously against my account.
Got there with a minute to spare.
you could say conventional ... and I could claim intentional

Wallet just got battered ... got block 108 seats at MSG and it’s gonna get worse
Need to look at flights for me and Mrs from London and hotels now ...
This better be a killer good gig!
I'm a Brit living in Canada, so I appreciate how fortunate I am to be close enough to get to one of these gigs. Having to buy flights as well would cripple me.
The average North American audience (i.e. non Pethead or casual NO fan) probably have no idea how lucky they are to have these two acts co-headlining. It's bloody amazing.
Got my LA tickets, but that was stressful! I failed 2 times, but third time was able to get even better seats as probably some other poor soul’s transaction failed. What an amazing event this is and to think that UK fans don’t even get the opportunity to see two legendary UK bands makes me feel privileged. I hope to once in a lifetime we get to see PSB, NO and DM together in one concert.
