[kj] Wiltern Los Angeles Ticket Warning

[LONESTYLE at aol.com]

Thanks for the info TB! So if you have a hard ticket you are OK? But if you 
 printed your tickets online you're not?
 
Cheers,

Anyone  who bought tickets for The LA Wiltern show way the fuck back last 
December  when the show originally went on sale take
heed....

Unless you have  a hard ticket that was sent to you (and you have it in 
hand, you will need to  call Ticketmaster/LiveNation asap.
This means you have a PDF file "print at  home" order.  Even if you 
originally printed the ticket right after you  placed the order
and still have that dusty print out.  Apparently,  because the event code 
was changed or some bullshit when the show was  reschedules
from June 6th to Dec 18th, it's very debatable whether the  barcode is 
valid when the ticket will be scanned the night of the  show.
This is according to the Live Nation CSR I talked to today and may  only 
apply to the LA show (I don't know what if any problems
people who  bought tickets last year have had with other shows on the US 
leg).

I  never printed my ticket when I bought it online the original on sale 
date last  December and when I went to access the link, it was
dead and the order  didn't even show up on my TM/LN account ticket order 
history.  I called  Ticketmaster/LiveNation's so-called
customer service and spent nearly an  hour this morning getting bounced 
around from CSR to CSR 'til someone finally  was able to pull
the info of my original order.  To compound matters,  I long ago cancelled 
the credit card I bought the ticket with (due to  the
interest rate getting hiked to 29%).  

What she did was set  it up so there's a hard ticket supposedly waiting for 
me at The Wiltern will  call office the night of the show.
Fortunately, I only need ID to pick up  the ticket. Considering what a 
clusterfuck this has been so far, I'm pretty  nervous that
there'll be an actual ticket waiting for me and I'm not gonna  be happy if 
I gotta buy another ticket that night.

If you have a "hard  ticket," that is one that was mailed to you from TM, 
you're probably  ok.

The number to call is: 888-598-4299 (7am - 9pm) East Coast  hours

Expect to spend about 20 - 60 minutes on the phone.  You  must have your 
Order Number (12XXXXXXX) and the Box Office code  (2439XXXX)
found on your original e-mail TM sent you when you placed your  order when 
called TM/LN.  Have that info handy when you pick up  your
ticket at The Wiltern the night of the show.

Good  luck!

T.B.
