re: Has anyone gotten an email from Ticketmaster about a discount

All I have so far:
"We are currently experiencing difficulties. Please check back again at a later time."

Most of the possibilities suck, too.

I basically see three artists I would be interested in. Too much shite country.

Yeah, this blows. Nothing in NOLA, BR, anywhere close. Sort of a double eff you.

also im seeing some big names in the list. gary clark jr would definitely be one that i snag. but legit summer ampitheater shows going up there, not just crappy tuesday night local battle of the high school bands.

id venture that we see a lot of the champions square shows with essentially unlimited general admission potential getting loaded in here.

It's crap. I have 17 free tix as well but when I tried to actually use the voucher code it said it wouldn't work. I think what's going on is once an event's tix go on sale, you have to rush to use them with your code because there is a small # that they'll allow per show and once that fills up you're screwed. No surprise they're making it extremely difficult to use. Very frustrating

The detail is in the fine print as to why the free ticket vouchers will be tough to redeem.

Ticketmaster needs to have $10.5 million worth of redemption a year for each of the next 4 years between discount vouchers ($2.25 each), UPS vouchers ($5 each) and free tickets. Obviously they would rather have the majority of that $10.5 million be from the discount vouchers as they would still be receiving revenue from the transaction. If they get $10.5 million in redemption over the next 12 months in just discount, and UPS vouchers, none of the free ticket vouchers will be valid over the next 12 months.

Doubtful I will use half of my vouchers.

im not expecting it to be 11 pairs of awesome tickets to dream shows.

if i snag a few GA tickets to decent shows, i am fine with the outcome.

did you order a lot of ticketmaster/livenation events?

Not really...some college game tix

I got 17 discount codes for $2.25 off and 17 ticket codes for 2 GA tickets each. Unfortunately for me, none of the 400+ shows on the eligible events list are in CO at the moment

I just called customer service to ask about my vouchers and they said the system was down and to check back around 3 central. I have a feeling this will become the norm.

i hate ticketmaster as much as the next person....

but i still assume rolling out something like this for a HUGE number of people, and it being day 1.... with everyone and their brother trying to get tickets to everything..... there will be extra hiccups.

hopefully in a week when people get annoyed and give up/forget itll smooth out some.
