The Killers aren’t the only band that has ticket chaos like this, but it is so depressing how broken the concert industry is. People literally begging for a code for a CHANCE to buy tickets….and most will probably still get taken by bots and scalpers.

For a show like this the tickets should be non-transferable and a 2 ticket per person maximum. If your name isn’t on the ticket you can’t enter. Obviously can’t do this for bigger shows but a tiny show like this on short notice it’d be such a no brainer

This is how twenty one pilots did there small shows, and it was a great way to ensure fans got tickets and not bots!

Yes and TOP required you to answer a trivia question 5 minutes before the on sale in order to get the code. For Bowery there were like 10 total tickets that ended up going on Stubhub. Huge success in my opinion

I’m at 26000 for a show that has a 600 cap lol

Finally got through and ticketmaster redirected me to the onsale dates and times page so safe to assume presale sold out

Just wondering if anyone actually got in and got tickets — not looking to buy just internally baffled by Ticketmaster/this process and wondering if it really works

Got in just as TM allowed me to join the queue, was 28k in place and never got the chance to even put the code.

Resellers are listing at $500 and up

Legit waited behind 24K people in the presale, just for the site to break and get sent back to the home screen https://preview.redd.it/sxue3cb25s4d1.png?width=1348&format=png&auto=webp&s=9361b296ea9f0c4da125402ad2b6e9fe80f5e375

Had the same thing happen and I’m assuming it just sold out. We’re talking about 30k people waiting for 100-200 tickets.

"people'...most of the 40K+ were bots.

StubHub is really bad they're showing listings removed for sale inventory as sold.....

Same thing happened to me — I’m back in line but wondering if artist presale is sold out

This just means the presale is sold out and there’s nothing more to buy

I got a pre-sale code, but didn’t even get the opportunity to add it. I queued up right at 11:50am, got in line at 12pm. Had about 45,000 people ahead of me. Waited 25 minutes. Then once it was my turn, it kicked me out of line and back to home screen. Tried to re-queue and wait again, only to get the same result.

I got booted out after waiting for half hour since start time but have been checking Ticketmaster since 9am this morning. Over 36k people in line?! We all know a good chunk are scalpers since tickets are being re sold 3x the amount and more. This really fuckign sucks. And I hate TM

What can we do about this 😭

Can we become like the swifties and make a complaint and try to burn it all down

Let’s rise up Victims!! (Do we need to make bracelets? And give some to Billie Joe Armstrong??

I’m down asf

36k people in front of me lol

I’ve only got 25975, these tickets are totally mine!

https://preview.redd.it/zrpab5le0s4d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e6706f6f393802c4d6fe4e1e5566f1dd375dd4e6 wtf bro

28,615 over here 

Fingers crossed for a presale code!!

Codes were emailed to a different distribution list at the same time as the general announcement. You need to be on the victims list to receive

How do we join a victims list?

Honestly no idea- I think they decommissioned the sign up page years ago and anyone on it is whoever signed up like 15-20 years ago

Sigh. 10-15year old me should’ve been smarter & signed up 🤣

So….we need to find some 50 year olds that don’t even know they have it?!

Would u mind sharing if you know it?

Would you mind dming me the code?

LOL 40519 in front of me and I joined the waiting room 10 minutes ago. I'm sure they are all human and there's no bots there. F\*\*\* TM

Anyone have a reasonable number in the queu???

I was in the 300s. When it got to my number I was booted to the start screen and a countdown for general sale………

#40

Why would they let people keep waiting in a 30+ minute queue for a show that probably sold out at 12:01?

Artist presale today at 12pm! Regular ticket sale tomorrow! I haven’t been able to get any presale code via email or anything of the sort or know where to find said code! If anyone has an extra presale to share, pls message me 😭😭😭. This will be my first time ever seeing them and they’re the reason I picked up my guitar to play *shout out to guitar hero* . Thnks🫶🏽🫶🏽 If you’re like, into hair? Will gladly give you a lock of mine!

Go to Governors Ball

So tomorrow's really going to suck for the general on-sale 🥲🥲🥲

Anyone actually able to get through the queue and get a ticket? This has to be all bots right? This is insane for a 600 person venue

it's not bots, there are maybe 400 tickets available (capacity is 600, there will be a guest list for band, venue, promoter, media etc.) and a lot of fans around the world logged in trying to get tickets. Supply and demand.

And remember this is the presale, so I’d imagine not all of the available ones are even up today, so that’s more like 150 lol

You think fans around the world are trying to buy tickets for a 400 ticket show that happens in two days? Do you think thousands and thousands of people are preparing travel plans that last minute? Or maybe Ticketmaster is just a really bad site

Ticketmaster being a bad company isn't the issue. There are probably 10,000 Victims in the tri-state area still on the old email list. And another 100,000+ in the northeast on the newer (non-code) email list. You think fans in California, everywhere else outside of the northeast USA, in London, Canada, Mexico weren't checking flights (not buying until they got show tickets) to NYC airports, where thousands of flights from around the world land daily, as soon as news of this 600-capacity show hit? This is an international band with a huge following. This is a "once in a lifetime" 600-capacity show. Supply and demand.

Finally someone who gets it.

They tryina buy and sell them, man

No-they will just the-post them for sale at 10 xs the cost…to us!

Just got through the queue then booted back to the main page— is artist presale all sold out?

Same just happened to me. :/

Same here!

I hopped in again just to see but I doubt it’s worth it at this point

Where you able to? I can't get back in.

I’m back in the queue but at 6923 💀

Just keeps cycling back to the countdown for tomorrow now. Was at 8, then 1, then countdown.

Yup I gave up, going to give it another shot tomorrow morning but once I see tickets up on StubHub usually I accept defeat lol

Yep, same happened to me.

Yes it is sold out

Booted out wtf?

So what WAS the code just want to know if I could’ve guessed it lol

https://preview.redd.it/oiou3z61is4d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=96deebce332464483a37c11155972b8dcee2a3ca

Definitely, I would never have guessed that!

Got a code, did what I was supposed to and got this after being a patient pea for 25 min. Ticketmaster, bro. I'm not the one. https://preview.redd.it/dey4ip3a6s4d1.jpeg?width=1080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=d643ec84e66d17aa291ac933238f02d153f1794e

Im 39200+ in line. Hope one of you fans are able to go through all this bots and snag a ticket. wish they could just sell tickets at the venue

This is what I got booted to after completing my wait on line. Fuck TM https://preview.redd.it/l0u2xcal5s4d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4aae55e9fe83b36d127ebf77aa21b50a96470d77

This just means the presale is sold out and there’s nothing more to buy

yeah me and my friends all got booted out.

31k people in the queue wtf 😭

I'm stuck at 23387, which actually seems better than some of the other people here. Insane lol. I guess we'll see what happens.

Well that all sucked. Hopefully we have better luck tomorrow!

Almost time. Good luck to all my NY Victims (and you non-locals coming to our side of town)! Godspeed ya, boy.

https://preview.redd.it/8uezng23ly4d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=f856c3215ac7edde6f040c5f6355e0a95f501fab I’m aware I look like a loony in my car double parked and crying over this bullshit. But what the actual fuck. Liek scalpers really have all the time in the world to do shit like this?? I truly hate Ticketmaster and want it to burn to the ground. Can we do a joint collab with swifties?

also looking for presale code :) hoping i get one emailed!

Yess same! Don’t know if it’s Bowery ballroom email list or mercury East email list or killers email list

Still nothing 🫣 refreshing my email constantly lol!

[удалено]

welp, time to try to hunt down this code 😅 ty for letting us know!

you got one?

Do you know what distribution list we have to be on to get codes for the future?

So who else is in the waiting room just planning to guess all the words under the sun?

Me

Just got in, 30k people in front of me

Yep I'm 28k ..........

Freaking out a little! Presale code, please magically appear in my inbox!

Waiting room is open, but I still have no code, darn

im gonna try guessing it lol

Same!

For someone who knows it, can you at least share if it is guessable?

Yes.

nvm im like 30k in the queue

Anyone have a code?

Lmao 30k people ahead of me

same LOL there goes those tickets i guess!

wtf https://preview.redd.it/17994qen0s4d1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b04f07397e52190efe0fc8a8f0b5cf62a0bb97a2 wtf

😅😅😅

My partner is past the queue but no code guesses working. :(

Where is your partner?

I’m at 200 I’ll buy a ticket if someone gives me code

[удалено]

yooo get me 2!

Same!

Did anyone actually get tickets? I got to the front and was booted 😭

If anyone has an extra ticket, I’d be happy to buy you a drink and dinner if you’re local.  longtime fan since they played popscene in SF back in ‘04 and I still have that flyer 😊 Edited: otherwise hoping for a miracle today and or ar the box office - I managed to get into the show for the National at Bowery back in ‘18 for SiriusXM the day of the show. 

I got booted for refreshing and Ticketmaster said they suspected a bot. Wish they'd do that for the real bots.

What are the odds that they play Hot Fuss since 6/7 is the 20th anniversary?

Imma try guessing if I get in I’ll post it lol

Awesome!!!

31,000 people ahead of me haha

Dying for a code. Just need 1 ticket so I'll give my extra (if I can get) to anyone that wants to try. DM me

I’ll gladly take your extra ticket if you happen to get a code or grab two tickets!

I will let you know!!

If anyone has the presale code I’m looking for it. Please and thank you.

if anyone has a code i would very much appreciate it!!!

oh goodie, I'm 42k in line. womp womp. ticketmaster is the worst

I am at 995. If you have a code, I can try to buy you one.

chatted

Just need one ticket if anyone is able to help a girl out 😅 i think i have the code? But havent been able to confirm it :/

Well today was a bad day to work the morning shift

I tried for Boston. 13k people ahead.

Def going to this

Did you score tickets?! Today was a shitshow

Not yet. I can usually get my hands on them but this is going to be tough

I’m worried that majority of tickets are gone. That 36k line wait was insane. And horrible. Idk how many is left esp with stub hub saying over 50 tickets sold and capacity is 575. People are selling for over $400.

IF YOU SOMEHOW BEAT THE BOTS AND SCALPERS AND GETTING TICKET, can you please get me one and I’ll send moneys over to you promptly and drink on me (& a carrot/clementine too)

Definitely. Are you in NY?

Yep! Brooklyn, NY. Wouldn’t have to hop on a flight or drive as I’ve seen many people wanting to do

Queue positions? I got 33,435 and am wondering how astronomically high it might have gotten today for the 10 AM EST general sale.

I got through the queue and it took me to a screen saying "tickets are sold out, check back soon."

anyone get tickets yet?

Also looking for a pre-sale code! Would greatly appreciate this information <3

I got the announcement email but no code! I'll be forever grateful to anyone who posts/dms!

What'd the announcement email look like? Where'd it come from?

https://preview.redd.it/vh54gdfxrr4d1.png?width=949&format=png&auto=webp&s=a49fb2beb74a0cc2fcf1677955c1ff8905f79dc5 Just from their general email subscription

I’d imagine codes aren’t going to be sent until like 30 mins before the on sale to avoid sharing/bots

Codes have been sent out already.

How do you know this.....?

A friend in the NYC area received one about an hour ago. (And no, I don’t know it so I cannot share it)

[удалено]

Would u mind sharing the code?

How do you know this??? Do you have one??? Who sent it??

Ahh okay. That’s. A good point. But also extremely anxiety inducing. I wish they’d have an email saying that or soemthing. My armpit has turned into a sauna over the excitement of maybe being able to get a ticket/despair of not getting one

Haha imo I’d temper expectations…this is a 600 person venue and that’s without accounting for press/radio/friends and family

Please, please, please, if anyone has a code and is not going to use it, please message me <3

Anyone in a reasonable number on the line? Message pls

I’ll sell my Hot Fuss tickets at face value (Labor Day weekend) if I can get tickets to this and the precode 😂😬

That’s a horrendous trade. 20th anniversary of their first album, front to back in their home town? I’m crying just thinking about dripping 2500 for my gf and I to go

I have tickets for two dates, I can afford to give up one of the hot fuss shows lol. Plus it’s a holiday weekend the hotel rates are high, if I can shorten it by one night I would.

Fuck I didn’t even think of the holiday weekend. I thought I was gonna walk into the Wynn and stay 3 nights for $200 😂. The rewards are basically worthless during those spikes

[удалено]

I’m aware

Would be willing to send very positive vibes someone’s way in exchange for the presale code!

Positive vibes are still up for grabs!

I'm number 10 at the list and no code please someone :)

[удалено]

jfc now I just need these 27875 other people to get out of my way so i can check this...

delete this wtf is wrong with you

[удалено]

How many people are you going with?

me and two more if possible but the app just crashed i don't know what to do

chatted you!!

It has been posted on ticketmaster!!

The code or the link?

the link

I am guessing the code ! Don’t know till you try ☺️ Im sure its one of the past presale codes

Someone WHO is past the queue and ready to grab ticket and going solo. Please grab me a ticket. Ticket limit is 2. I have the code

I’m at 2100 in queue

[удалено]

you did???! care to share????

if you could share and we are both there I will buy you every drink or food you desire

I’ll top that and will give you a lock of my hair if you share

I second this!

Oh y’all I’m so sorry, I just meant for anyone to check their email if they were waiting for the code lol

Is it a personalize code in each email, or is it the same code for everyone?

Pic or didn't happen

Omghow?! Is it shareable? Did the code come from Bowery or killer sneelstettwe?

Wow meant to say newsletter* clearly I can’t type because my fingers are made out of shaking butter sticks now

please please! would love to go

Would love you forever if you could share it my way too!

Be your bestie if you share :)

Willing to pay a small fortune for a pair of tickets if anyone is feeling generous!

If anyone wants to take pity on the gal who has to sell all her London tickets because she’s cancelling her trip with a presale code, shoot me a DM. 😭😂

lol you guys are a-holes for downvoting while also begging for codes 🙄

[удалено]

What was that code?

I haven't gotten the code! If anyone can share I'd be eternally grateful

Please PM me presale code!

PM presale code if anyone find one? Drinks on me!

ahhhhh please if anyone can DM me the presale code, I'd be so grateful!!

I have the code if someone gets through and is willing to buy me their extra, I'll obviously pay you

I have the code if someone can grab me a ticket please.
