Couldn't get through to MTR by phone for hours. Have spoken with them several times since, and the response has ranged from unsympathetic to sympathetic but useless. I tried to cancel the membership, but they said they couldn't do that; instead they'd take down my number and try to get me tickets. Tickets to the shows that are already sold out? I don't see how they plan to do that. She also said I could join an auction and try to win some that way. <BR/><BR/>Very bad planning. Even worse response. I hope they learn from this for next year.Diana Darehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11241594536596941778noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-36393819899378921182007-02-13T16:41:00.000-08:002007-02-13T16:41:00.000-08:00I had the same issue, and I've been a member for y...I had the same issue, and I've been a member for years. What's really aggravating is that I publicized the hell out of the Festival on one of my web sites (HeroSite.net).<BR/><BR/>When I called the MT&R, the person I spoke to had no sympathy for me at all. I was especially aggravated because I nearly missed a plane trying to get the tix. grr.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17314911431533167368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-14241648510520705012007-02-04T19:26:00.000-08:002007-02-04T19:26:00.000-08:00Ticket Master is notorious for selling straight to...Ticket Master is notorious for selling straight to Scalpers and holding tickets for them<br /><br />Can I verify this?<br /><br />Yes. Because my friend is a scalper and I haven't had to sit past the 10th row in over 4 years of concerts...strange- since everyone in front of he and I are told it's sold out ;)<br /><br />Sucks though Shawna...you need the hookups!Systemaddicthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08853683059727909656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-75390597434658965882007-02-01T14:15:00.000-08:002007-02-01T14:15:00.000-08:00I had the same problem last year when they didn't ...I had the same problem last year when they didn't use ticketmaster.<br /><br />Turns out you had to drop the leading '0' from your membership number for it to work. Genius.<br /><br />I may try back on the 4th if I can wash out the bitter taste...Shawnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15585446312896504036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7759427.post-12687656896010722182007-02-01T10:55:00.000-08:002007-02-01T10:55:00.000-08:00Actually, the blame should fall on TM.

What MTR should do is set up an online outlet and sell tickets directly to members without the middleman, which is what a lot of bands have been doing of late.<br /><br />Sorry you didn't get any tickets. You're not going to try again on the 4th?Shawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15496229806500210915noreply@blogger.com
