Having moved here a little over a year ago, we've noticed that a great number of shows in Pittsburgh are handled by Livenation (a company we'd never even heard of before moving here). Like Ticketmaster, they seem to take a great deal of pride in charging ridiculous fees and having a poorly designed and uninformative web site. Therefore, I only ( Read more... )

Wow! That was extremely cooperative of them!
It's always nice to hear good things like that.

Enjoy your show!!!

Yeah figured I would share here, because hopefully someday in the future someone else will come across this post and it will both save them some heartache and needlessly tearing up their living space searching for a small envelope which may or may not have arrived any time in the last four months!

I just ordered tickets though Livenation this morning actually, and I agree that the customer service is fantastic.

Ha, ha! No. I'll be enjoying the redneck, country goodness that is Toby Keith this September. :D

I wish I had known about both of those!

The half-price day for the festival we're going to was unbelievable. I got us two tickets, for $25 each, to see Slayer and Marilyn Manson in one show. Simply amazing.

Live Nation and Ticketmaster are trying to get the feds to let them merge.
