So i get up early today to buy the Indy tickets on ticketmaster.com

I click on the Oasis site and ask for the bestavailable and it gives me 3 balcony tix. I buy them because I am thinking those are the best around, then i descide to check it again and then I find 3 main floor tix available like 5 minutes later...I was so fucking pissed.

Is there a way to cancel the purchase of those tix and get the main floor?

Ticketmaster does that. I was checking out tix this morning to see if I could upgrade my seats. My first 3 searches brought up balconies. then it was all floors for a bit. then it was showing that there were no tix available, then I got some decent floor seats. There's no way to upgrade though unfortunately. I mentioned it in another post that I rarely take the first tickets that pop up for any sale unless they're seats I'm truly happy with. I'll usually do a few searches and then better seats begin to appear.

This has happened to me as well. I think what tends to happen is the first bunch of people log on and are offered the best seats, eg. floor tickets - they're given a time limit of, say, 5 minutes. Then you log in and are offered the less good balcony tickets. There will always be people who've gotten in first who change their mind or wait too long so their tickets lapse and then become available again to you.

My finely honed tactic is to just go feral buying as many tickets as you can, depending on how much spare cash you've got, until you find what you want, and then sell off the ones you don't want. Even though the balcony tickets are less good than the floor tickets, they'll be good balcony tickets because you got in early. So when they're sold out you'll have no trouble selling them on. Besides, it's OASIS! You shouldn't have trouble.

Also try Ebay to sell them off or even this board. It's a bit of effort but it's worth it in the end.

NOEL: I find myself being rather rude when they refuse to talk about my immeasurable charm and immense talent

The show is sold out, so you may be able to get a decent price for them on ebay. The murat is a very intimate venue though, I don't think you'll be disappointed even if you sit in the balcony -- actually, I hear the sound is quite good up there. Other than reselling them and chunking down more cash for better seats, you're pretty much stuck with what you have now. Ticketmaster sucks, Sorry you had back luck too

Shoutbox

themasterplanet: A Northern Soul by The Verve! My second favourite album by them. I love the atmosphere of it, it’s very dreamy and melancholic and dark. It holds many memories for me and I think that’s partly responsible for why I love it so much. Sept 6, 2024 18:57:34 GMT -5

AllOrNothing: Up in the Sky sounds like the La's on steroids, especially that Liam Falsetto that I can almost picture Lee Mavers singing with all his big teeth showing Sept 12, 2024 7:52:29 GMT -5

Bring It On Dan: I have so much shit on an old hard drive somewhere but I just cannot find it. Nothing 'out there' but probably 200 gigs or so. I can't remember the name of the site that had all the gigs listed and sources for loads of gigs next to it? I remember RKID 003. Sept 24, 2024 17:34:46 GMT -5

mimmihopps: Bring It On Dan, it must be sadsong.net. I don't know if the site still exists. Sept 25, 2024 7:20:44 GMT -5

gottabecrazy: RKID003 was a great resource, they shared a lot there there really. I wish something similar could be up again. Sept 25, 2024 17:50:23 GMT -5

PollyWantsACracker: Been off the site for over half a decade, good to see it still going strong after all these years. Good to be frickin back again eh. I thought of the place after hearing today from a friend that Oasis is back in business again. Sept 26, 2024 17:07:27 GMT -5

RUBIKON: I'm gonna restart the Oasis MP3 Archive is anyone's intersted in helping? I ran it in 2000 to 2002 and was a great site. Used to use mIRC to get all the boots. I'll build the site, just need links to one drives and files. PM me if you fancy helping out Sept 29, 2024 8:31:27 GMT -5
