I hope you real fans got your ticket, I tried to see if I could buy one at 7am just to see if I could, and I couldn't even get 1 ticket for best seat available... I kept refreshing and tried at exactly 7AM... I hope I have luck w/ the SF show I want to go to.
Actually at 5 after 7 I got into the processing / waiting area though it hasn't changed from a 15min. estimated time for the last ten minutes.

At 10am on the dot, I was offered one ticket in the back of third mezzanine, gave it up, and it pulled up nothing. Everything was gone by 10:01. NYC and SF are both going to need second shows.
Hey Bort, that was my first offer too! I said eff that and went back in and asked for the high price tix and got nothing available. Then I tried a third time for best available and got offered A in the 1st mezz. Way on the side, but that's fine. I would keep checking, tickets will often show up mysteriously.
I saw a mention of the 15 minute waiting room on Twitter, but it's never happened to me. If anyone is trying for SF tickets (assuming Goldenvoice has the same system as TM, which it may not), don't do the continuous refresh thing, it just slows you down and could lock you out (mistaking you for a scalper, ironically).
Me and a few of my friends tried at the same time. I got orchestra row o 700s but my friend got row L 600s so I had her buy those. Wish I had bought the 700s so I could have given them to someone who deserved it instead of scalpers probably getting it but I'm so excited that I got tickets!

For the SF show, they put people in a virtual waiting room and pull people out randomly to buy tickets. It took me three hours to get through on the Coachella presale last year. And for Refused, most people that were waiting were alerted within 30 seconds that tickets were gone, apparently.
We got Row J on the floor in the 200 section during yesterdays presale. So glad we bought them because the best I pulled up today was in the balcony. Its still a great view no matter where you sit.
Most of the Pit is on stubhub right now..how sickening.
Yeah and the pit is going for outrageous prices. Sort of sad I didn't get on Steve's side but I'm certainly not going to complain. I'm just glad I got some at non scalper prices

i have a question for anyone who got seats for this show that are the coveted double letter rows...did you/are you getting real hard copy tickets or a printout for those or are they will-call only?
I have a double letter seat for the show on the 11th and I received a real hard copy ticket. The will-call only decision for the new show must have made some sort of difference because this round of ticket buying was so much more enjoyable than the first round.
