[Oh. My. God.]The Police to Reform for Reunion Tour??

is there a Toyota Center password thingie?

They haven't mailed it out yet.

I think the police bestbuy thing gets first dibs, and then toyota center, and then the general public.

hook me up with it if yall get it.

 

Bestbuy presale (Wed? ~ 5% of tix) - Fanclub presale (Thurs ~ 50%) - General Public (Sat ~30%)
The remaining tickets belong to Toyota Center and tour sponsors. Rocket Season Ticket holders would have a shot at the few Toyota Center tickets. They aren't a "dibs" system, but actual allocations for distribution.

How do I take advantage of the BestBuy presale?

Sorry for the dumb question. I'm a little out of touch. I haven't seen a concert since I took my wife to see Rob Thomas just after my ordeal last summer and I was still delusional.

 

yeah...what's the Best Buy deal?
thanks.

 

You have to register at the BB website and become a member (not sure if it costs anything). Once you become a member they assign you a "one time use" password. That's what you'll use to get the Best Buy presale.

 

thank you very much!!!!

 

From the BB website:

Please note: New Reward Zone program members are not eligible for The Police presale tickets promotion. To be eligible, you must have been a member as of February 1, 2007. However, you'll still want to enroll, because there will be other great member benefits to come!

 

Oops!

Sorry about the bogus 411 fellas.

 

Who would have ever thought you would have to join some stupid retailer program to get in on pre-sale seats for concerts? That is totally lame.

Why can't we all just be exposed to all the available tickets at the same time?

I mean...a pre-sale is nothing more than selling a section of allotted seats ahead of time. You still have to contend with all the other pre-sale peeps. So, is there supposed to be some benefit there?

I will admit that I got front row tickets on a Rush pre-sale. However, I think that was totally just dumb luck as I was the first one in the system at the right time after bombarding it with form submits and copy/pastes...lol. Other people didn't fare so well.

Good grief, Charlie Brown! Get rid of pre-sales, PLEASE! By the time regular sales open up, it's even more difficult to get anything good after all these pre-sales...which still amounts to tons of fans vying for the same tickets.

Am I wrong?

 

Will ticketmaster be the best choice now?
[/another stupid question]

 

No, Toyota Center does not use ticketmaster, they have an in house ticket service. You have to buy the tix from the Toyta Center website:

BTW, wow, I did not know that they had gotten back together to record a crappy new version of Don't Stand so Close to me in 1986:

Real quick, in FAQ form...

Q: What's my best bet for tickets?
A: Fork over $100 to thepolicetour.com "fanclub" and participate in their presale on Thursday. They have just about half of the tickets to the show.

Q: Could I just wait for the houstontoyotacenter.com general public onsale on Saturday?
A: You can do that and save the $100, but will be rolling the dice. Almost all shows have sold out immediately, and the majority of tickets are gone by the time of the public sale.

Q: What about ebay?
A: Scalpers and ebay are selling tickets for roughly 3x to 6x face value. take a peek at what the Dallas shows are going for.

Q: What the hell is with all these presales?
A: $$$$$. Best Buy forked over a good amount to have their ticket allotment, and it acts as a carrot for people to sign up for their rewards card (American Express Blue has done similar stuff in the past couple of years). The fansite is to milk an extra $100 out of the more desperate fans (the fee is good for only one presale, you have to pay again if you want to go after a second show). Sucks, but they're actually pricing tickets below market value, so hey.

man, i knew that too.


i signed up for the mariah carey fan club

the MC fanclub had their tickets, then livenation, then toyota center, then the public sale.

 

oh, and why couldnt they do this at Reliant?

Middle of summer, im sure nobody is using it.

 

Best Buy rewards zone doesn't have the code available yet. I just logged into my account to see.

 

buy me some tickets, and ill pay ya later.


so true.

 

Just got my tickets using the Best Buy rewardzone code. They went on sale at 10 am. If you were planning on getting some this way you had better jump on them.

 

Just got mine thru rewards zone. Section 120 Row 21-- $225 each.

My wife is going to kill me.
