I tried to get tickets and it said "tickets are not available at this time" at the ticketmaster page. Assuming that means it's sold out already. ( Did anyone get extras I can buy from you for me and Noah? Please. ( ( -Megan T.

Usually TM actually *states* when something is sold out, so I have my doubts. I wonder if maybe they only put a limited # available through TM at first, saving some back for door sales.

OR, call up valentine's and tell that dude "i told you so" ... he was positive i'd be able to buy tix at the door ... HA!

Just hit reload? I'm trying that. Over and over. I have never noticed ticketmaster listing "sold out". It just doesn't let you buy. Like it's doing now. In a frenzy I accidentally bought some tickets to the Buffalo show... I clicked the wrong link then bought thinking if I paused it would be too late... so hopefully I can go to that one.

If I remember correctly, when a show is sold out it shows you the tickets, but then when you click through to get them, it says they're not available.
This is something new -- it is acting like tickets haven't gone on sale yet. The price is even listed as $0.00.

It lets you search for tickets then says not available when it's sold out. Holding out hope. I reset Safari then tried again. No luck.

I just got the following e-mail from Howard, Valentines' owner.
"Megan
I've been hearing from various sources that TM has been having all kinds of problems with these tickets. I can almost say unequivocally that the show is far from sold out. Try again and let me know how you make out.
Howard"

TM are bastards, but ticket has been safely procured. Thanks to kind offers to rescue my ass with resale.

I just got two tickets and cannot wait to make the trek from Connecticut. I saw The Hold Steady for the first time in Boston in November (having been a fan for a few years prior) and was absolutely blown away. That being said I couldn't have been more excited than to see the Albany show get posted.
Even now I have to fight to stop myself from getting tickets to the Buffalo show. Although I already need to take a day off of work to see them in Albany. What's another day...... It's a loooong drive back home from Buffalo though.
