How do you UPGRADE?

I bought a third ticket yesterday and read online about ugrading at certain venues within 72 hours. Izod was not one of them but I figured I would play dumb and try anyway. I called and she moved the one ticket and I then asked about the others and she did it. It was that simple. It was the livenation presale. She was also going to exchange my Wednesday tickets but I am in section one and decided against it as I wanted to stay on that side of the stage even though it is a few rows further back.

I guess the Apollo presale didn't allow it.

I'm in 122, so I'm not crushed.

Like I said in another thread: I had the seating chart in front of me when I ordered, so I had an idea. I found one of those 360 views for the NJ Nets at IZOD and tried to get a perspective.

http://www.seats3d.com/nb...rsey_nets/

well one is 7 rows off the floor side rear stage...one is the best 7 rows from the arrow symbol tip. the other 3 are mid rear stage 14 rows back...even if i could get 1 more in front of the stage near the tip

wait i already got the highest priced tickets..do we mean upgrading from like section 300 to floor or within a price/section???

u know i got ticketfast. i think i'm fucked for this. oh well

I got tickefast also. But still you should try and see if you can change your tickets based on what others have said on this thread by calling the Ticketmaster number. That's what I'm gonna do. If I knew you could switch, I would have done it sooner instead of having two extra tix I can't use... One of those Duh! moments... LOL What do you have to lose?

but i printed them out already

Just try it and see, especially if they are email tickets. I am going to try for my Wednesday tickets in the morning now that they have opened section 11 for Wednesday. It seems they didn't sell many $500 seats as those were the sections and now they are releasing them. Better we get them if we can that someone else. It is just an even exchange.

I printed mine out, too; but you can still try and change them. I wish I had thought of this before! Go ahead! You have nothing to lose! In the end, you still have your tix!

oh ok. then doesn't hurt to try. i mean 3 rear stage floor...i want in front!!

YELLOW DOTS

ok jersey FIRST TWO NIGHTS. i'm rear section 7...same seat.FREAKY IS IT NOT??? if i can trade one to the front at least.....

so are ppl thinking its not gonna be like the london shows symbol stage??? this is all i can find with a quick search

Well, I was able to do it again, for Wednesday the 15th, I called yesterday morning and they said since it was a pre-sale they had to send a message to the promoter to get approval. Didn't hear back so I called again this morning and they put me on hold. Came back and made the change. For Wednesday they moved me from sec. 1 row G to sec 11, row H.

You just have to be persistant. For Tuesday I got from section 3, row H to section 12, row D. For Friday, it seems to be filling up fast, no floor or lower level left so no go there and, of course, the MSG shows are still sold out.

I checked Friday night earlier- I put in "Best Available" and only got 200s...

I'm going to try again later for Wednesday, though.

Thanks!

I also bought pre-sale tickets but I called just now and had no problem exchanging 2 tickets from section 109 at the Izod for the 14th to section 2 row G. Much better tix--and at the same price! I am very happy! :Dance:

I called again, and I got a guy who was much nicer... BUT he said the same thing. The only difference is, he sent out an email and told me that I will hear back in 3 days... (Thanksgiving)

Did you do the Apollo or the LiveNation presale? I did Apollo.

I did Live Nation--they were the only ones who sent me a passcode. That might have something to do with it! I spoke to a nice guy at Ticketmaster who said he had to check with his supervisor to see if it was okay to exchange pre-sale tix. When he came back, he said it wasn't a problem. I would take the advice of another poster and keep calling at different times; you may get lucky! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you!

He said that they needed to contact the promoter to see if they will take the tix back for re-sale.

Ticketmaster called me back...

I now have Sec. 2, Row J, 11-12 on Dec. 15th.

So its best to call Ticketmaster instead of the venue directly?

so now IZOD hs Citi® Cardmember Party Suite Package tickets for $215 (1) VIP ticket to a Party Suite in the first mezzanine level. Party suites are private rooms with prime viewing. Food and non-alcoholic beverages will be provided.

No, that's been there for a while... I have a Citi card, but chose not use it, so I didn't hunt down the code.

I checked a few different places a little while ago, and couldn't locate the code. Lady Gaga, Ke$ha and a few others were listed at different venues.

18 days until showtime and still no aftershow news.... I know it may b a last minute announcement, but it would b great if we could get a hint somewhere

I would keep my eyes out for the Friday show for sections 11 and 12 too. They are still selling those seats for $500.00. If they don't sell, look for them to reduce them to the regular price and try to switch those like we did the others too!!!!!

Those would be great and probably a lot of fun for one of the shows, but the location of the suite is at the far end. It would have been much better if it were over the middle.

It looks like December 14th is sold out!

Opening night...

My friend called from Atlanta, and we started talking about him possibly going to that show. I was online, so I checked... no matter what seating/price combo I put in for one seat- including the Suite- I got "Sorry..."

So I checked further... I was still able to find a few different seats on the 15th and 17th.

That's good news if true, however, I wonder if it is a glitch as there were plenty of seats earlier. Just this morning I checked and they were only selling the second row of the upper deck, unless all the further ones back already had sold.

Well, I still have two in section 12 to get rid of, should be easier now.

Just checked the opening night is sold out.
