[kj] Wiltern Los Angeles Ticket Warning

[countessghoulita at aol.com]

It is amazing what kind of ordeals KJ fans are being put through (on top of not having a good distribution of their ep and album.)

I am really sorry you had this experience, TB, and thank you for sharing this precious info. 

I really look forward to seeing you!

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.
