To a certain well-profit seller for concert tickets… FUCK YOU!!!
I logges in to see if I could purchase tickets for Marilyn Manson, and the “best seats available” are back in row R in secton 8; mind you I have NO other option to pick from for my seats, because I’ve tried to refresh the page, enter different info, and this is all I get… Hey TicketAtlantic… How about a seat closer to the stage but parrell to the action? Can I see if that’s available? Or are you just gonna try to fuck me over like you did for the last Alice Copper Concert when you pinned me down for something as the “best seat available”
—Do NOT like nose bleed section
This article appears in Jul 30 – Aug 5, 2009.
maybe you should by your tickets sooner?? or go to the box office?
or get gen admission and be on the floor
did ya think that if they put you in section 8 row R as best available that everything closer was already taken. seems to make sense to me. you could have called them too and asked.
Section 8 is in the dead centre of the arena, OP! They’re not nosebleed by any means. You’ll have a much better view than the folks on the floor with its SRO policy.
OR get off the fucking Internet and go to the HMC box office or a local Superstore and speak to someone in person! No right to bitch when there are always options. Not everything you want is available at the tip of your fingers.
No such thing as nose bleed seats at the Metro Centre. The fucking place holds 10,000 people. Give me a break.
8,000 minus the floor!
No such thing as nose bleed seats at the Metro Centre? Uhhhhh…. upper bowl, behind the sky boxes, obstructed view, feel like you’re in a separate room and not even in the rink?
Obviously, dgaf, you haven’t been in a decent sized stadium. Ever been to a NHL size arena such as the Air Canada Centre, that has nose bleed seats. Ever been to a football/baseball stadium such as Olympic Stadium, that has nose bleed seats. A fucking 8,000 seat arena does not have nose bleed seats. It’s not big enough!!
Maybe Ticket Atlantic has an option for “worst seats available” OP. Would that make you happy? I don’t understand why you’d be upset about being “forced” to sit in the best seats available. I say wait a couple days and see if anything better opens up, you idiot.
whatever happened to “calling” the box office? you can actually speak to a live person!
I dunno, I’m with the OP for some of what he says. I tried for tickets to Manson online as well, and the thing that ticked me off was that you had absolutely no choice of where to sit. I’ve gotten tickets online before and usually you get the option to click on the section you want to sit in in the general row and seat area you’d like and then they’ll assign you a seat as close to what you chose as they can. That option wasn’t there for this.
This time they assigned me section 22 which is to the side of the stage, I didnt’ take it. I’ve sat there before for a concert and there’s always something being blocked on the stage. I pay to see the whole show, not just part of it.
True, a person could call or go to the ticket office, but the thing is, what’s the point of having online sales if it’s not worthwhile? A person should have some choice in what they get, if the ticket sellers can’t program their system to allow that, then maybe they shouldn’t have online purchasing.
calling the box office?
ooo there are phones! i got ya
Broc, so I haven’t been in a decent sized stadium eh… hmmm let’s see… where have I been…. Would the, oh I don’t know, Skydome (aka Rogers Centre) count as “decent” sized? And would sitting in the……let’s say… 5th deck count as nose bleeds?
Despite the fact I needed binuculars to see the Jays beat the White Sox, I still liked those seats better than the upper bowl at the Metro Centre because I could see the whole staduim and there wasn’t a wall with a TV in my face.
Size of the fucking arena has nothing to do with it. If you have an obstructed view, guess what? You’re in the nose bleeds!
Oh my God, get off your ass and into the box office. Buying tickets for Elton John took 10 minutes in person, with choice seats to pick from.
Nosebleed by definition, dgaf, means so high up in the stands that the people on the stage look like ants. It has nothing to do with an obstructed view, call those seats shitty or whatever but learn some English slang before you comment.
If you can order tickets off the Unternet you can call the box office and speak to a live ticket agent between the hours of 9 and 5!
Its (902) 451-1221.
I know dealing with actual people is a lot harder than clicking away on a computer mouse but sometimes (just sometimes) that personal touch goes a lot further than a mouse-sensor-touch!
Lazy good-for-nothing complainers……*shakes head* You sound like the young people who refuse to take a stroller on a bus that has stairs instead of a flat floor b/c you may have to exert some energy on getting the infant/stroller on the bus. You know, instead of the bus lowering for you….
“Nose bleed seats are seats far away and high up on the stands. It comes from the real nose bleeding which occurs at actual high altitudes.” – Popular english slang site
So instead of calling the upper bowl behind the box seats at the Metro Centre nose bleeds, even though they are “far away” and “high up” in comparison with the rest of the arena, I’ll just call them the upper bowl behind the box seats from now on because that sure isn’t a mouthful.
8,000 seats (Actually 10,595) or 50,000, I’ll call them whatever the fuck I want. In fact, I just realized I don’t know anyone that doesn’t call those seats nose bleeds.
You have options. No need for cunting and whining anymore; you only seem to be looking for an argument and/or attention.
GO. TO. THE. BOX. OFFICE. (or Superstore Atlantic)
Seeing as the biggest arena we have around here is the Metro Centre…& our tallest mountain around here, will make anyone from Alberta or British Columbia burst into laughter, if you descibe that rounded hill as a mountain. Perhaps our definition of a nose bleed section comes from our lack of giant venues…& therefore as with our mountains, as far as many of us are concerned the upper bowl of the M.C. is the nose bleed section ! (I also hate the massive wall that cuts off 60 % of your view of the venue ,so the elite can eat nacho’s & drink )
how come they can’t let you choose seats like the airline companies do? like the option of paying an extra $15 to choose the actual seats yourself in each price category? that would make more sense.
