So you're meant to just keep refreshing it until a ticket gets through? This is the design? 

 

Either that's the design or that's just how the Ticketmaster site functions when there's a crush of people trying to get through. (I have no idea if this works with any other sites involved in selling tickets for these shows.) I hope this is useful to someone trying again with one of the subsequent presales or the general sale...

I do think the amount of interest in the Toronto and Brooklyn shows strongly suggests there will be additional dates added, likely Sept. 11 in Toronto and Sept. 14 in Brooklyn.

Toronto presale was like "it's 10:01 and we have no tickets... no wait we have some for a measly $500 each (that's around 250 quid) for true fans like you, no wait here are some for $162 you filthy plebs, haha no sorry those are gone... [refresh, refresh, refresh...] ok fine, here, you can have some floor tickets for $125 a pop". Very stressful experience but it all worked out and super pumped to get to see them in such a small venue.

Those $500 would have been fine if the venue would allow entry to the floor section. Do true fans want to sit in a box?
It was certainly stressful.

Happy to hear you managed tickets!

 

I very nearly went through with it but reckoned I'd get a better deal with a little patience. Had to remind myself that there are LiveNation and Spotify presales tomorrow and the general sale on Friday, so this was not my one and only chance at tickets.

I snatched 3 ga for LA, the trick is start refreshing from the last few seconds countdown.
I failed to get any from Brooklyn.. that is actually closer to me. I will try getting it in the next few days and sell my LA tickets hopefully to some real fans. 

for the people thinking about which venue to go..

Capacity of venues:

Toronto History: 2500

Kings Theatre Brooklyn: 3000

LA Hollywood palladium: 4000

Chicago Aragon: 5000 

SF bill graham civic auditorium: 8500

Managed to nab a Friday Brooklyn one. I've only ever been to the States once, never NY, and not sure I can really afford a few days there but this is what getting swept away does to the weak-willed...

I'm just hoping the Toronto audience is mostly Pulp fans, not a stereotypically sedate Toronto crowd of suits and hipsters who are there because they know somebody who knows somebody.

I think US audience for brit bands (including oasis, stone roses etc) are really lukewarm. I am not having high hope for a great vibe in any of these venues.. their last tour in US indicated NYC might have the best audience.

How do these venues compare in size and vibe to the ones that Suede and the Manics played when they co-headlined on a US tour over the last couple of years? I think I remember reading a lot of those shows didnt sell-out.

 I went to the Washington DC one, small venue (~1000), dont remember if sold out or not but I got mine close to the show. the craziest part (at least for me) is suede opened on time, the security check took longer than usual, I together with a long line were waiting on the street when Bretts voice and some hits were heard!

You got me, this was not a fair comment because it has been a long time since I lived in and went to shows in Toronto. And maybe I was going to the wrong ones back then!

Edit to add: in any case I doubt there could be a crowd passive enough to ruin the night for me.

 I thought Pulp did a great job energizing the crowd at Radio City in 2012, despite it being a venue with no pit/dance floor. My guess is that factor influenced the choice of venue this time out.

 same nyc venue suede/manics were in.   pissed i didn't go.  but i was feeling like crap that week.  and yes, didnt sell out.  but these will.

 

brooklyn is a bit of a nuisance from where i am in new jersey.  but pulp is obviously a must.

Caught Suede/Manic at Massey Hall, which is the exact same size as Pulp's venue this time. Yeah, Suede opened and def should have closed.

Also saw Pulp at Radio City and thought the crowd was good. Everyone walked out of the seats and crowded the front. I drank a bottle of rum across the street first though, might have not been how I recall...
