Damnit.

I just bought tickets to the Three Days Grace (yes, the lack of apostrophe bothers me)/Breaking Benjamin concert at the Palace.

I clicked "Best Available" for seating.

I was on the site within a minute of the tickets being released.

The tickets were marked "FL4," which I really didn't understand. I still don't. They are supposed to have a seating chart (because they configure it differently for each event) but the seating chart for TDG/BB is missing.

My sister is going with me, and she said they were floor tickets, and we'd have to stand.

So now I've purchased tickets at Club Level, too.

Now I find out they usually put folding chairs out. So I have two sets of tickets, I guess. *headdesk*

(I think this is okay, actually, because we can switch seats if we'd like--the floor can get rowdy, I hear. But still--wah!)

(Also, I wish I would have done Club seats first (instead of an hour later), so I could have gotten great Club seats!! Argh!)

Yes, I hate the term "Best Available" because my idea of Best is first row of the Mezzanine (or second tier) and TicketMaster's idea of BEST is up against the rail gettin' gang-banged...I'm too old for that shit!!

Still, when you are purchasing tickets for an event that could sell out fast, you take "Best Available" becuase it is the fastest and have to settle for what you get...or sell them on EBay...

Same here--I don't want to be on the floor, I wanted to be in a nice comfy seat--and if I had known this beforehand, I could have had GREAT seats. Damnit!

Can you sell them on eBay? I wasn't aware of that...

I think the rule is (so it's not considered scalping) is that you can't sell them for a certain amount over what you paid for them. I'm not sure the precentages, but to be safe, I wouldn't sell them for more then you paid for them.

I've seen tix on Ebay...do a search, see how they do it...you know Ebay way better then I...
