go online and buy them at ticketmaster

they might not post them, so arrange for the "will call" option.

Just book them with "Will call" pick-up at the box office. Then you can pick up the tickets from the box office at the day of the show. You would have to bring your credit card as a proof of correct owner of the ticket purchase.

This and a lot more is or will be in the IORR.org How to get tickets if you see the "Tour 2005-2006 pages.

For years I played the redial Ticket Master game. Then found a way to at least pair it down. You can order tickets through them from any office for any show. I got my last tickets that way by phoning an office 5,000 miles away from the venue city....I live in Canada so that kind of distance is valid. Just pick a city that looks sleepy with little going on to compete.

at least some info for sure. I've been wondering this for the whole week, reading TM's site and i read about will call but then later i read post of people saying that you cant buy tix because they check credit card address and if it isnt from the states they wouldnt let you buy...well i'm glad to know that certainly you CAN buy. it's helpful

Do you know E-card?

I would probably buy my tix with an ecard, but the problem is that you always get a new code for each payment, so, if you want to pick up your tickets at the box office they won't give you the tickets because the number that you used for booking not the one is that is on your credit card.
I hope you understand what i mean.

and If you understand I hope you can tell me if ticketmaster accepts payments with Ecards.

Thanx for help!!!

Sorry to deceive you but there is a risk.
Sometimes they check your number credit card and your address : if they can't verify they refound your money and you lose your tix.
It happens at least to me (french), to a canadian and an italian girl.
This girl bought many shows through TM and travelled by bus during 1 month.
In every city she was worrying if the tix was available or not.
For Detroit no problem for her but ticket cancelled for me.
In Cleveland, both had tix cancelled.
In Toronto, problems for her and not for me!!

Lourdes, i'll send you an e-mail shortly after the tour announcement.

So, what can i do to get my tix for boston?

Is there a security on ticketmaster so that hackers cant get my card number?

Or, maybe get them on ebay? but it will be much more expensive I think.

Which way is the best to get my tix?
how do you do when you're going to a Us show (if living in Europe)?

thanx for your help!!!!!

Bye,
Pascal.

Ticketmaster is a "secure site". technically speaking, it should be safe enough.

It depends what shows youre going to and where. Some shows will be harder to get than others but for most shows, check the message boards and place adverts and maybe someone will have a spare ticket.

I would avoid e-bay unless you're desperate.
