CALM DOWN PEEPS!!

Most artists who perform nowadays also have seat auctions its not just another way to cheat you. TM couldnt tell me to which charity the proceeds of the limited seat auction was going, but you get my drift.

On the TM website there is a 'view auction info' button that gives the location of the seats.

Description

Front Row Floor Seats:
Seats in Block E1 Row A 1-17

Minimum Bid Per Ticket £35.00

If someone would be so kind as to stick the 02 seating chart up again you will see that all the tickets are for the same block, no matter what day. It's just one block out of 9 surrouning the stage. Also if the stage plan on the Ticket master site is correct Block E1 is behind the band!

Oh the nice lady also let me know that there will be no allocated space to dance at the front of the stage, but you can dance around your seat if you want to

Sep 12th also has 6 seats on row 1 of block B2.

But yes, it's definitely not all of the front row seats!

Yeah I just double checked, The only front rows available are in block E1 for the time being anyway.

I feel better now... So no auction for me not even for 'Charidy' I'll try to get cheaper (than £235) floor seats from another supplier.

how much do people think these auction tickets will go for?

id say about £100-£150 each

stateside got screwed on that. ALL the front rows 1-18 were auctioned. Only way to buy them.

Ticket auctions are just another way that ticketbastard has screwed over it's disabled/handicapped customers, because now we don't have a snowball's chance in hell of getting seats anywhere near the stage(because ticketbastard doesn't allow disabled to purchase these kind of seats), even though we can't stand! So thanks a lot Prince 4 jumping on the ticketbastard bandwagon, I hope the kickback was worth it because if your disabled fans had a hard time seeing you before at a show, we really can't see your little ass now! Take the Planet Earth and shove it! You're a ticketbastard too now!

i thought you had to make arrangements directly through the Target Center Box Office since they have designated sections for the disabled.

wonder505 said:

Yeah, sections designated by the tickebastard themselves, located behind all of you people who will stand in front of me for the whole concert!
Ticketbastard's way of telling us that we are not welcome, because we disabled pay the same price as you mother fuckers, then you enjoy the concert and we don't because we can't see shit! And then we sue them for their ADA violations! So make no mistake, ticketbastards hate us disabled fans.

Furthermore, I just looked at ticketbastards' seating chart for Prince at Target Center, you can obviously see that the ticketbastards stick all the handicapped in the last row of every section at the same price, and no handicapped seating on the floor section at all!
If you don't believe me, go look on ticketbastard.com and check the seating chart for Prince @ Target Center, MN!
Ticketbastard even puts the proof of their ADA violations right there online!
I hope someone tells Prince about this, he's a rat bastard for letting this shit fly in his own hometown!
You're a puppet on ticketbastard's strings, Prince!

where do you get that they did not have floor seats for the disabled? Did you verify this information with the Target Center? Disabled seats for the floor section were available during the presale and general sale but it sold out quickly.

wonder505 said:

I'm sure they're in the very last row of the floor section, in fact I'd bet on it, knowing ticketbastard's reputation all too well.
Are u in a wheelchair urself?
If not, if u do break ur neck ever, then go 2 a Prince concert in a wheelchair, then we'll talk.
Until then, don't pretend to know what I go through with these rat bastards.
Did u look at that seating chart?
That's how I get treated at every ticketbastard event, last row, full price!
Don't expect me 2 believe that Minnesota is any different.

FrankieDJ said:

i don't pretend to know anything. i posted what i believe to be the case, i thought that you needed to make arrangments with the venue for seating. Did you call the Target Center ahead of time and if so what sections were available for the disabled? You also posted something that was not true, that there were no floor seats available, when i know in fact that they were. if you don't believe me you can call the Target Center directly to verify.

The Rio was accomdating to those who were disabled in Vegas, at least from what i saw and at the Hard Rock, I did see seating on various sections on the side of the floor, not just the last row which went way back as you state is always the case.

i understand your frustrations. i do wish you the best and hope you get satisfactory seats as well. perhaps you should sue ticketmaster if you feel they are continously violating your rights or any federal laws, rather than grow hateful on messageboards. You have a right to express your frustrations here but if you feel there are violations you should seek litigation against them.

I agree. Disabled seating is left up to the venue. Ticket master has absolutely nothing to do with where these seats are. Disabled seating is regulated by local fire codes. I know in our large arena that Prince plays at (Houston Toyota Center), they don't allow floor seating for disabled persons due to fire code restrictions. Ticket master has no say in it whatsoever.
