I'm sorry for all of your frustrations. I had the same experience. I tried for the Oakland show three days in a row on three separate presales. I tried bright and early; couldn't get in to any seats other than the VIP. I tried again on the day of the public sale. Again, no go. That was four differen...

So sorry to hear you're disappointed. I totally understand. It's like this incremental slide where you start with confidence about the seats you want to settling for sidelines or back orchestra or front balcony, middle balcony, whatever, and none of it was in your power and you end up with sucky sea...

Okay, first off: I AM an idiot. The password was there, it was just so obvious that I couldn't see it. (I am woefully underslept due to having an infant.) Second: I got seats. Easily. Row LL, side. It went smooth as silk, even without reciting incantations and waving my magic wand. I guess the scalp...

Please help with the password. Last time, it was right there, obvious. I know you think I"m an idiot, but please take pity. I will have one minute when I get to work before I open the link. Please. (My husband is laughing behind my shoulder right now. He can't find it either.)

Can you please tell me what the password is? The presale will be visible at 10 a.m., right where you are. Thanks.

I'm sorry but I can't find the password. I k now it's obvvious, but I just can't find it, I'm leaving for work now, and when I get there, I will have just one minute before I have to log on. Please help. Thanks. Michelle

thanks for the research re Paramount. Five minutes per customer! Guess you'd lose your seats even as you were paying for them. And of course you'd have to get there today, anyway, to be that first in line.

Thanks for all the very specific advice! It's so scary and cut-throat, isn't it? I'll try to set everything up in advance and get to work before 10, barring traffic on my 60 minute commute, and that my baby's sitter doesn't come late. It seems like this whole thing is a full-time job. The process is...

Please, tell me what the trick is. I tried for all three presales, and this morning, did everything right, was right on time, online and by phone at the same time, and I never ever got in. (Though I could get in to the VIP seats, which I simply can't afford.) I can only stay online from 10-10:30 on ...

Thanks for help and encouragement. How do I proceed to get tix on Monday at 10, the regular waY? I can't be at ticketmaster, but I can be at a phone and/or a desk from 10 to 10-30. Is it faster to do it by computer or phone? Do I somehow go through AMEX (I've got GOld)? Further, when do we discover ...

Been trying since before 10; this is my first break. KFOG password: takethiswaltz. Same thing as last two days. I'm following all the advice to a tee. Some of us get lucky. Why not me? I can't spend the whole day doing this, as I work, too.

I did everything you said, with Gold card even, at 10:02 a.m., and could not get anything. I do know how to use a computer. I called, too, at 10:05. I guess that was too late.

How does the KFOG presale work?

Did anyone succeed at getting a ticket to Paramount? I"m trying and trying and trying--fan club yesterday and amex today, and they say they have no tix at ANY price range. Grrrrrrrrr...

In answer to another's question, there is VIP at Paramount, $549 buckaroos.
