Costello NYC Town Hall
Tickets On Sale TODAY 1pm EST - TicketBastard
Sept 22 - Sept 24
Update: As usual, fuck these guys. At 1:01 tickets were 'on sale' but 'not available'. At 1:03 they managed Balcony 'F' and Loge 6. I could stand the rediculous fees if at least there was some chance of getting good tickets. I wouldn't even mind if they admitted that 50% of the seats went directly to brokers or scalpers - fine - I think that's free enterprise. But either admit that it isn't first-come-best-served or sell some good tickets to those who show up the minute they go on sale. After 5 minutes of re-trying and re-trying, both online and on the phone, I gave up. As usually, I'll wind up in the first 3 rows, via some scalper or broker. Or for $5 the day of the show out on the streets. Once again, a total lack of competition leads to horrible service. Email your congressman. Fuck Ticketmaster and more importantly those who run it.
BTW: The fine folks at TicketsNow will undoubtedly have top 5 row tickets very soon. Link on the sidebar at right listed as 'Buy Premium Tickets'. If you don't mind paying-up, this is an excellent place to get the BEST seats. (Plus your purchase supports this site...)

No better at box office where I waited an hour for it to open and was offered only the VERY WORST SEATS! A far cry from when he was at Town Hall with The Brodskys and I got 3rd row center at box office. This has GOT to change. !#$%*!

i was trying to get thru via internet from
12:58 pm on. i also found they "weren't available" until nearly 1:05 pm. i was on the phone simultaneously and, as she was offering me Orchestra, Row R, i was getting Row O thru the web. since they were a little closer (and near the center aisle), i hung up and got 'em online.
a friend who was at an outlet and was first on line, also got Row O. the fu*$ed up part of it was i kept checking online and row M, K and others closer became available. some were way off to the side but some were in the 'center' orchestra sections.
i gotta believe that they're holding most for guest lists, ec's friends and family, etc.

It really riles me that tickets should go to SCALPERS. These BASTARDS are only there to screw us. Why are they legal in USA? Sensible countries do not permit scalpers.
