Radiohead: Did Anyone Get Tickets?

April 14th, 2008

I’m curious as to the success rate that “real people” had buying tickets to Radiohead‘s summer shows in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver. Montreal did not sell out (I bought a ticket to the general admission show without any trouble a day after the onsale), but Toronto was dead sold out at 10:01. I got precisely ONE ticket and I had a junkload of people trying. I don’t know ANYONE who got a single ticket. Mission failed.

Minutes after tickets sold out, ads started appearing on Craigslist selling at three times the price. Rude. There’s a discussion going on about it over at Stillepost. And a Craigslist rant with email addresses of all the scalpers that were contacted, exposed.

It makes me wonder what percentage of actual fans (as opposed to scalpers, opportunists, and ticketbots) acquired tickets.

If you got tickets, reply in the comments and tell us what you got!
