Morrissey tickets on sale at 11AM

Funnily enough, both "Maher" (the original spelling of Marr's last name before he changed it) and "Rossiter" (Martin, singer from Gene) were security questions.

This can only mean Smiths reunion with Gene opening.

funny how a year ago everybody laughed at the residency at Hammerstein, and now only because he is playing Bowery and Webster Hall everybody is running like headless chickens trying to get tickets even for the bigger Carnegie Hall.
Can't say he doesn't know how to market his shows

I was able to get Webster tix. I had my wife and my brother in law also on computers next to me, no luck with the Bowery, it was to be expected though, right?

Anyway, I hope you all get tix and hopefully I can manage a Carnagie ticket. The place has amazing acoustics.

Most tickets on stub hub are only around 200ish, which really isn't all that much money considering he's like a god to most of you. Tickets should of been that much to begin with.

danidin is right, i'm doing it for living
and scalping has gone completly under,
people don't have the money to pay double and
triple face, and even if they do have it they
don't wanna spend it anymore.

Do they have a network of theives?

just got through on carnegie's site.......and got really crappy seats

Posted by Anonymous | January 9, 2009 11:55 AM

Stub Hub simply connects buyers and sellers. They do not have any tickets themselves. It is just a middle man...like ebay.

Posted by CN | January 9, 2009 11:56 AM

bowery seemed impossible, but the resale is not that bad, oddly......i swallowed it and paid double face for a pair

Wow that was a good morning. This was a corker. I can tell you that my foolproof ticket getting system had more trouble than it ever has had before. So that tells you how difficult it was to get Bowery Ballroom. But it still came through and i got 2 tickets. And don't ask, I am not telling you what the system is and believe me you have no idea. It has never failed me yet.

So my question for you guys is which service should I use to sell one of the tickets

Craigslist at best offer
Stub Hub
or
Ebay?

For Animal Collective at Bowery I got 250 off Craigslist but I am sure I can get more for this one as we all know that Bowery is really the show to be at for this.

Also, they really must have sold the bulk of the tickets for Bowery to scalpers pre sale date. M<ost of you stuck out should really complain and harrass Bowery Presents for this.

Posted by Anonymous | January 9, 2009 12:06 PM

kelly, nice ad.

Carnegie is sold out all the way up to the balcony. I was on hold for about 20 minutes. balcony are still avail.

yeah, no one will pay double face for ticks. NOT

Posted by Anonymous | January 9, 2009 12:14 PM

12:06--interesting that you somehow differentiate between yourself and so-called "scalpers." why not sell your ticket at face value if, in fact, you claim to be otherwise?

Posted by Anonymous | January 9, 2009 12:16 PM

In the spring of 2007, New York did away with anti-scalping laws. You can do what you please once you buy the tickets. Good luck to you all. My bank accounts grows......

it's sad that you could be so petty. mocking people who really want to go see their favorite performer and yet can't afford to because of people like you. how sporting. you must lead a sad, small life. enjoy your riches.

Most morrissey fans should be pretty old and decently well off by now. 200 bucks per ticket is hardly obscene, and most should easily afford it.

Posted by Anonymous | January 9, 2009 12:24 PM

there are still seats in the center balcony at carnegie if you go on the website... speaking from experience, you still get a good show and great acoustics from that height.

Posted by Anonymous | January 9, 2009 12:52 PM

This is 12:08 here. I was not mocking anyone. I was sincerely asking which service you guys think i could get the most for one of my Bowery tickets. You can call me what you want but any of you would do the same thing. Shit, I worked long and hard to get this foolproof system and hey it pays off. I make no apologies for this. The one ticket i am selling will pay for the show for me plus a nice little bounty as well. Don't hate on me. Hate on Bowery for selling the bulk of the tickets to scalping agencies beforehand.

I tape a lot of shows as well. You can find me usually in the middle of Bowery, Mercury etc with mics attached to fake glasses. Maybe if you guys are lucky I will put up the Bowery show on archive.org

It is looking like I will probably get around 300 to 400 for this ticket. The dandy boys are shelling out for this.

Posted by Anonymous | January 9, 2009 12:53 PM

I had no problems getting Bowery tickets. Of course, my credit card was already in the system.

Oh, I hate you, by the way.

I think what made stuff even MORE difficult for the Bowery was the AmEx presale, that means a good chunk of tickets were set apart for that sale ONLY. I was there at 11:00:01 and couldn't get through with the general tickets.

Posted by dee | January 9, 2009 2:13 PM

I don't get it. Why am I a fucking lying moron?? What good does it do me to lie about something like this??? I tried for the hell of it and I couldn't have been more surprised.

Easy answer to why you would lie. You did it cause you were trying to be funny and rile up the poor slobs who could not get tickets,. Hoping that your post would make them all run to ticketmaster and try to get tickets. Cause you are a worthless idiot with no life. People have been trying for hours for tickets that were sold out within 2 seconds of sale. But you majically happen to get one hours later and run here to post about it with your loud caps WOO HOOing. Dude you are a jackass and a transparent one at that. Go away.

its certainly a possibility rajah was not lying. sometimes if a transaction is rejected those tickets go back on sale, that is how tickets might have come up after they were sold out.

It is great to be able to avoid this rush to buy tickets. I much prefer to actually work at 11 am, and then just pay the double face to the poor kid who paid face up front. To me, it's charity work, or "spreading the wealth around". Either way, I'm going to see Morrisey at Bowery, and that poor kid has some rent money.
