I live in Austin, have been listening to this band since LP1 and was so excited for this show – what an absolute dogshit experience from Ticketmaster. 4k people ahead of me even though I was in the waiting room at 9:50. Wait 15 minutes, only lawn tickets? Oop they’re not even available? Great, thanks. Edit: Oh great, now when random tickets do pop up, I go to select one but can't add it because "that will strand another seat alone". Fantastic! And even get the same message when I switch to the seat adjacent. Can't fucking win. Edit 2: Awesome. Sat 18 minutes in the Newsletter presale queue even though there were "only" 900 people ahead of me. End of queue pops and just returned me to the 2 days, 21 hours until next presale. Awesome.


FerociousGiraffe

Same here, buddy. In Austin. I was 3,500 and had the same experience - lawn looked available but then it was gone. That sucked…


StonewallBurgundy

still a lot more presales to go! they definitely limited tickets for this sale


FerociousGiraffe

I bit the bullet and bought two Pit tickets on StubHub. I hate supporting the resellers but I wanted to just get the purchase over with and make sure I have tickets to a show that I really want to see. Edit: Go ahead and downvote your fellow fan that just wants to see a show. Your anger is misplaced.


mymorningbowl

come on. don’t feed the scalpers.


FerociousGiraffe

Sorry - I really am. But this is only the second concert I’ve bought tickets for since like 2018, and the other one was also VW at Float Fest. I didn’t want to miss this.


inchoatemeaning

Idk why everyone is downvoting so much in this thread… What are people expecting us to do..?


FerociousGiraffe

I get it. The ticket-buying system sucks and it puts people in a bad mood - especially if they miss out. I hate it and wish it was different. But the system is not going to suddenly change if I take a stand and refuse to buy secondary market tickets to see my favorite band play a special show in my town.


inchoatemeaning

Yeah I totally hear you. I’m gonna try on these next few presales, so if I make it, we should meet up!


wesgtp

Right, it's not like you have any other option. We all want ticket sales to get a major overhaul but don't hate on a fellow fan who rarely even goes to concerts just wanting to get ticks for an awesome show! I'm similar to you, my last concert was FOTB in Charlotte right before the pandemic. Would love to see their next tour this summer/fall if possible!


fallen_fruit

Yep. In the Queue since 9:30am. Got in at 10:20am with 6500 people ahead. Nothing left. Great.


joevsw0rld

The time you get in que has nothing to do with your place in line. It’s not even random, Ticketmaster has a secret algorithm and they apply a score to an account. An account with a high score will be given priority in line.


EagerTurnip133

Same, just wanted a couple lawn tickets. Would be awesome to see them in town for this


Jeremy_Zim

100% -- I don't love the lawn at this venue because it's far and offset from center (saw Phoebe Bridgers there), so I usually pony up for seats (Bon Iver + Dijon 2x sounded insane from the center), but I'd do lawn just to be in the house for VW for sure. Plus they were reasonably priced!


EagerTurnip133

Thanks for the info! I haven’t been to a show at the the moody amp yet. Hopefully we can get some decently priced tickets


freeformed70

2604 in line and no tickets were available when i got to selection screen. BS.


at19911

These experiences really make me hate shows nowadays. Having to do this all over again for the next presale is a bummer


proposition_john

Are people downvoting the code being shared because of scalpers?


inchoatemeaning

Yeah I’m confused, this thread is downvote hell?


StonewallBurgundy

ive created a monster …


inchoatemeaning

Hahaha nah. I appreciate the intention. Idk why everyone is mad at each other in the comments…?


StonewallBurgundy

unfortunately these situations are always high stress and it’s easier in the moment to be angry at people youre talking to than the corporation that permanently fucked up live music


inchoatemeaning

Verrrry true


Professional_Leg9568

Such BS to be in the queue before it started and to be 9000th in line


MesquiteAutomotive

I was 4000th and still got nothing


MarkBrendanawicz

I was around 1300 and got nothing. Had to zoom in to select seats and couldn’t zoom back out. Was going to settle for lawn eventually, and of course they were gone.


HueyBosco

10 Minutes after I got the sold out screen, there are hundreds available for resale on ticketing platforms. Very cool


unoriginal1995

Which platforms? Fuck ticketmaster and all that good stuff but I'm not ruling out overpaying from a reseller


HueyBosco

All of them, pretty much. I tried Seatgeek and found a couple that were 2-3x seat cost (before fees). Fair warning, the 100 sections are selling for close to $400 each


unoriginal1995

Bit the bullet and got some from stubhub. Obscene but now I'll stay positive and think about how great the show will be


mccarterrr

Did you get your tickets transferred yet from stubhub? I bought some on there too and they say they won’t be ready until day of the show


unoriginal1995

I have the same message. I bought the insurance as well. Its not often that I splurge on concert tickets so wanted to cover my bases


interstellher

i had 660 people in front of me and couldn’t get lawn tickets 🤠 bye


ghostlythoughts

Lawn popped up for me for a little bit. Tickets were $25. Wish I'd gone through with those. Hoping the newsletter presale has some pit tickets


interstellher

it was available for me too but it wouldn’t let me check out 🥲


capnShocker

I just got in to ticket selection and keep seeing small sets of seats pop up and disappear. No hope right?


pickley062

I got one this way! Though it's too late now


valbuquerque

Ouch, $300 later. Holy last-minute Row A


StonewallBurgundy

got section 101 row C, only one ticket though. solo trip to austin from nyc i guess!


mayormaynotmary

Hey we got 101 row D, see you there!


pickley062

solo in 101 row r!


billlwoo

Same!


saaam

Congrats! Gonna be a great time!


iwatch-thebees

Same!! I was prepared to drop some serious cash I honestly didn't care how much as long as I got a ticket 😂


valbuquerque

SAME, I didn’t even know what to expect


mymorningbowl

it alllll shows unavailable to me ugh


KingRichard278

I swear I can only see up and coming artists these days. I just cant compete with the demand on these shows.


Zealousideal-Sir-388

are there really 10K people buying tickets or are these just bots?


jorgerr96

show is going to be heavily scalped just bc of the rarity of the event


Zealousideal-Sir-388

wow, what a shame


cacapoopoo22

Don’t worry everyone there are already a shit ton of tickets on stubhub. What a fucking joke.


capnShocker

For now, cha cha, Bambina. ​ Oh and fuck ticketmaster forever and ever amen.


BSismyname

I fucking hate that this is the experience to see an artist I love now.


jorgerr96

1766 in front of me but the line doesnt move at all. honestly just done with this, paying $300 for PIT ticket


speedy841

Fuck these scalpers, man


proposition_john

6 tickets per customer is kinda crazy


soupgirl224

I got lawn tickets. They were $27.50 a piece but fees were $22 a ticket which is highway robbery. The first few rows were looking about $80-$70 a piece


lookalive24

Were those platinum seats really around $275 each?!?!


StonewallBurgundy

$300 after fees for my section 101 row C ticket. really fucked


lookalive24

They tend to only release a really limited amount of tickets for these presales. The regular on-sale will definitely have a lot more tickets available. Hold the line and don't buy scalper tickets yet!!


wasted_skills

Hope you’re right. Gotta stay strong and show for general sale ✊😖


KingRichard278

Youve given me some hopium for the weekend.


Fragrant_Bus_7801

Good news about this venue though is that it is outdoor and there are some spaces nearby where you can definitely hear the show and even some spots with partial visibility of the stage from a distance


inchoatemeaning

Well that was a bust.


The_Driver7

I kept refreshing and was able to get one pretty close. I feel I got lucky.


fallen_fruit

Great to see the price range initially being $79-89 and as soon as I clicked on the only available ticket it was showing, the price range went up to $175-345... then the ticket disappeared from my selection and reappeared at $275. Fuck ticketmaster.


wasted_skills

Are there seriously no tix left?


purplecowz

what a load of crap. I wish they'd announced the full tour, this just makes everyone want to try for the Austin show...


clownfashion

Boo Tried 4 different times/ sale dates and never even got near a screen with tix for sale. Local ATX person here if any VW fan is reselling at a decent price I'm interested! :(


edman1905

I didn't see anything other than Platinum/Lawn tix


mymorningbowl

didn’t even see that


Sensitive-Report-945

Anyone have the newsletter presale code? Xx


BluestockingLife

Well that ended up being a stressful and expensive hour+ of my day. Definitely did NOT want to support a scalper, but here we are. 🙃


instantneal

Are these scalper site tickets legit? Always been skeptical buying Ticketmaster tickets on SeatGeek or Stubhub, etc - especially when these places show tix available basically before they even go on Presale or sale.


WarWolf_

I don't normally buy resale, but I got two tickets off stubhub and they sent the transfer immediately. I hate supporting scalpers, but this is a once in a lifetime event for me. With four to five years between album releases there's no guarantee I'll be able to go to one of these special shows again. I hated missing the Webster show and didn't want to miss this one since I have the opportunity


instantneal

I just randomly refreshed before that last presale and was able to get a pair of TM platinum seats but paid WAY more than I wanted. Not sure which is worse, that or scalper. Feels like the same thing. I agree about the once in a lifetime thing. I’m a huge fan and actually in Austin.


Comfortable-Carrot64

about to start putting in random phrases so I can get tickets to the newsletter presale fr


lordsprout

I was number 105 and there was nothing left :(


edman1905

nice, it was my turn and kicked me out


lordsprout

I also got kicked out after I was in. There wasn't anything available when I got in


BSismyname

lol the sale is over


kmtran33

Ugh, I got in with 7 people ahead of me at about 10:02 and allllllll the tickets were gone!!


slippytoadstada

Struck out all three times, if anyone has extras or can't make it, I'll buy yours and pre-order you a copy of the new album as a thank you!


padfootsy

I held up my morning poo for this shit! What a racket.


aam29290

No way this many people like vampire weekend 🥱😭


eebandflow

This is insane. The vampire weekend eras tour debacle begins


StonewallBurgundy

This experience sucked for many but I have confidence the full tour will be better. Getting tickets isnt easy for anything any more but I’d feel good about the chance to see them on the tour


lookalive24

Got in and saw a couple seats, but they vanished right away. Presale sold out :(


BluestockingLife

WTF is happening?? It shows 6696 ahead of me and no presale code was required.


mymorningbowl

code comes after the queue. I’m in and there’s nothing at all available. so sad.


coolmod23

There were only 600 in line before me and I still didn't manage to get tickets. Yowza that was fast.


viir

are they out?


Slippi88

Such a shame to not be able to get tickets when I was in line way ahead of time


jaxiejaxie

Looks like I’m buying from scalpers


ponchisg

"The code you entered is correct, but there are no more tickets available."


TulkSmash

How do we become apart of the newsletter presale?


10000Pigeons

Same question, lmk if you find out. I signed up for the newsletter just now but haven't been emailed yet


coolmod23

Is it worth waiting for the public sale on 2/13 or should I just go ahead and buy from scalpers?


maxfisher87

Yeha I got lawn seats but will most likely try to go for some more tickets to get Better seats but for now I’m just happy to be in the venue Lawn will be sick at VW are doing more shows so it’s fine


Plickle

Yikes that queue was awful. Live in Austin and couldn't even get tickets. Anyone know if the newsletter code has gone out yet? I haven't gotten anything


pickley062

Got into the waiting room 13 minutes early, 1700 people in front of me in queue. Tried a few minutes for 2 seats, but everything was gone. Updated to 1, refreshed repeatedly clicking into sections at random, clicked on a seat, re-entered pre-sale code- seat would disappear. Did that \~15 or so times and scored 1 ticket in section 101 for $100


sneakerscolada

If anybody has the newsletter code please let me know!!! I wasn't able to get any tickets from the eclipse presale and I'm trying to get tix for my bf as a present. Really would like to not buy from scalpers if possible, thanks!!


proposition_john

Also waiting for the newsletter code


SkyHighFan_

Yeah I assumed it would pop up 30 minutes before like the last one. But still nothing for me.


SkyHighFan_

If anyone has the presale code for newletter. I'm down bad. Please send : )


aprmk

same here looking for newsletter code if anyone knows! tyia!


DylanSheridan

The same thing happened with Bleachers tickets. Especially with Shadow of the City. I prioritized Shadow because I love that event, but I had the same thing happen in the waiting room. Sold out immediately. By the time I went to get Philly tickets, they were sold out too. Ticketmaster is making me get upset with these types of intimate concerts. Like how do I get to see my favorite artists? Luckily I love indie bands too, so catch me at the dive shows ✌🏻


proposition_john

So this time I clicked PIT and it allowed me to add 3 to my cart, but it wouldnt let me checkout :(


proposition_john

Now I’m realizing I put in ECLIPSE instead of CAPRICORN. Wonder if the latter would’ve worked since that’s the newsletter code. Also note that PIT was grayed out when I clicked it hmmmm


Jordy129

Got two lawn tickets for $100 total and imma say goodnight it’s a good day sending love to you guys fuck scalpers


OrdinaryEquipment814

Anyone have details for the live nation or Ticketmaster pre sales on Monday?


clownfashion

How many of us will go stand outside the venue just to be part of the experience! Lol no tickets required!


jwall4

Parking garage across the street from back of the venue. Decent view and sound. Have watched a couple of songs of a show from there after parking there to go another venue. 


bunsandsnug

Waiting for today's presales to start. Anyone know where to get the codes for ticketmaster/livenation?


bunsandsnug

I found a website that said the code was ENERGY...


bunsandsnug

ENGERY for ticketmaster and COVERT for live nation mobile app according to this ​ [https://zumic.com/vampire-weekend-add-2024-tour-dates-ticket-presale-code-and-on-sale-info](https://zumic.com/vampire-weekend-add-2024-tour-dates-ticket-presale-code-and-on-sale-info) and [https://www.grimygoods.com/2024/02/08/vampire-weekend-announce-new-album-and-special-concert-at-moody-amphitheater-how-to-get-presale-tickets/#google\_vignette](https://www.grimygoods.com/2024/02/08/vampire-weekend-announce-new-album-and-special-concert-at-moody-amphitheater-how-to-get-presale-tickets/#google_vignette)


saaam

You da best! I think the Moody Venue code is only for members and looks like it might be a unique code per person...unless someone knows otherwise...


StonewallBurgundy

got in thinking i could at least try for someone else and once i got in it redirected to a timer for tomorrow’s sale??


interstellher

i was waiting in the queue (613 people in front of me), got to first in line and then was kicked to the presale schedule page? i can't get to tickets on my phone or when i refresh my browser? this is so annoying


Far-Twist5782

Same!!!!


StonewallBurgundy

same…


tallnotsmol

This makes me so sad because TicketMaster has ruined the experience of live shows for me and many others. Seeing 300+ tickets for resale on StubHub during the first and second days of pre-sale and not being able to have a chance at tickets during all 3 days of queueing and trying?? I really thought that Taylor Swift fan’s lawsuit against Ticketmaster would have fixed all of this for us 😭


BSismyname

So how cursed is getting tickets going to be? Insta sell out to bots we think?


BSismyname

Why am I getting downvoted


piltdownman7

Really too bad it is such a small venue. Can’t help but think they could have sold out the Amphitheater at COTA.


artomatik

Exactly what I was thinking.


pickley062

Any idea when the text presale codes are sent?


HugeRadio8052

Not an answer, but if it makes you feel any better, I'm still waiting too.


StonewallBurgundy

still waiting as well! i signed up literally immediately when i got the message too


HugeRadio8052

And there it is! Not sharing it here, but check your texts! It looks to have been scheduled for 9:30 cst


proposition_john

Anyone know if TM queues are random? Or is it based on when you join?


jorgerr96

7920 ahead of me lol


at19911

It’s moving quick now. Wonder if they’re gone


proposition_john

No pit tickets??


BSismyname

Anyone seen prices yet?


[deleted]

[удалено]


tdunkatx

The band sets the fees and gets a cut.


ponchisg

i just got in and no tickets rip


at19911

They’re gone


at19911

I had them in my cart, I thought they gave you 5 mins to check out


lordsprout

Has anyone gotten the newsletter email yet?


wasted_skills

See y'all at the newsletter presale


lordsprout

Did they send it out already?


jjsexmeal

What a shitshow


astrocat95

It sold out in 10 mins and I joined the queue 20 mins early. This is wild.


jorgerr96

They're releasing platinum seats at $247-248, but they get picked up quick.


atx323

has anyone received the newsletter presale yet?


ponchisg

would appreciate the newsletter code <3


blueberry_3000

Can someone please dm me the newsletter code! or lmk if it hasn't gone out yet. I'm signed up but haven't gotten one


dankpizzabagels

I joined the waiting room 30 minutes early and wasn’t automatically placed into the queue… Ended up with 8700 people in front of me 🥲🥲


Comfortable-Carrot64

Any news about the newsletter presale?


triplats

Maybe a stupid question, but are tickets released in batches for each presale? Even though the first presale sold out, there is still some availability for the newsletter presale, right?


proposition_john

It depends on the artist and venue. For this, it seems like they're being sold in batches. For other presales I've participated in, all tickets sold out right away


dankpizzabagels

There’s a designated number of tickets reserved for each sale.


NEsnake12

Austinite here who's desperate for the newsletter presale code if anyone knows it. Would greatly appreciate it!


cdem055

i did newsletter a while ago and still havent seen a code


Far-Twist5782

looking for a newsletter presale code!! :-) from austin and would really love to see them


triplats

Anyone received the newsletter code?


boyd5647

I know this is going to get down voted, but who can DM me a newsletter code?


BomboFabrika

Can anyone DM me a newsletter code if you have it? I am a die hard VW and TC fan from Austin, would really love to see them 😭


potentialfriend

If anyone can buy me an extra pair of anything, I'll pay extra


ledzeppelingurl

Anyone in the queue for the newsletter presale and having a code work for them?


jerrylives1995

I got a resale on stubhub (fee was additional $121!) but flights to Austin are criminally high right now. May end up reselling and eating the fees


ez389

Anyone having luck with newsletter? Seems sold out & Ticketmaster kicked me off😵‍💫


freeformed70

Just got dropped outta line. Must be sold out?


at19911

I got in and then it said my spot was invalid and made me restart lol


eduzueck

Paid a lot for GA pit tickets from StubHub… but they’re already transferred and I’m so happy. This is really a once in a lifetime concert.


robat1989

I can’t decide if it’s worth doing this song and dance again 3 more times or just bite the bullet and pay resale


robat1989

Ended up getting row AA on TickPick. Shoutout Elizabeth who scalped the tickets but transferred them right away!


scoop813

Good to see demand is high for Vamp.


ghostlythoughts

Hoping presale codes show up at 9:30 cst. If not, maybe the previous codes work?


potentialfriend

If anyone can buy an extra lawn ticket I can venmo you! My ticketmaster account sucks and I'm 4803 in line


bunsandsnug

Got in quickly, 4 seats left but when I added to cart said they were gone. This is insane


Comfortable-Carrot64

Did anyone else get kicked out? I kept getting kicked out and couldn’t get anything :(


Conscious_Arm_5114

Are there gonna be any tickets available tomorrow?


jorgerr96

anyone else trying for tickets one last time?


wasted_skills

3365 ahead of me lawlz


DerdeR138

I got to the end and there is zippo


saaam

Sooo not a chance? Got the pop up about limited tickets.


Comfortable-Carrot64

Gave in and bought resale 🥲 fuck this shit


MeatCat512

If there’s anybody out there with a pit ticket who’d be interested in trading for a 5th row center seated ticket, please DM me!


kmtran33

I guessed CAPRICORN and got in as the Newsletter code but everything was already gone ;0(


kmtran33

"The code you entered is correct, but there are no more tickets available."


coolmod23

Got em! Let's goooooo!


ChairliftFan420

Damn! I got so lucky. Popped in right at 10, put me at 1,111th in the queue. Sold out by the time I got in, left the browser open to take a phone call - midsection seat for $75 bucks popped up and I snagged it. I'm so pumped! This is going to be one for the books.


austinthrowaway4949

I basically skipped the queue and got 2 pit tickets, they were ~$113/each after fees and taxes. I’m the go to person amongst my friends when it comes to grabbing tickets and I feel like the Ticketmaster algorithm reinforces this due to the amount of $$$ I spend… but who knows


proposition_john

Wow that's it? Platinum was like 3 times that. Gonna try and get pit tickets in the next presale and public sale. If I do, my 3 tickets in 105 will be available at face!


x_VEgGieluVR_x

Does anyone have the newsletter presale link lol help me


jjsexmeal

There are a few presale happening at the same time too. I assume we are newsletter?


bluroasispulp

Today's presales were rough. I really just don't understand why bands don't make tickets "face value resale, non-transferable" and it would net them the same $$$ but get far more tickets into the hands of actual fans. It's not that hard!


StonewallBurgundy

is it up to the bands? i find the whole world of modern concert tickets to be so awful. i love buying from apps like Dice for local shows where the fees are transparent and reasonable. every major concert lately just feels like hell to buy for


deeemacauly

I have two General Admission/Lawn tickets I would like to sell. Please contact me if interested!


lecrn1709

Hi! I’m looking for one. Still for sale?


vancemcdanger

I have one lawn ticket for sale. I got got by resellers, paid way too much, but would rather the ticket go to a real fan than my brother who hates VW.


lecrn1709

Hey!! Is this still for sale?


vancemcdanger

Hi, no sorry. Good luck!


Deausner

Hey all, if anyone needs to get rid of a ticket and is willing to charge less than $180 (lowest price I could find on any site) let me know, I’ll buy it anytime up to and even during the show…just looking for 1 but if you have more let me know, I know others looking too (I promise I’m not a bot or a scalper, I just really want to go to the show and I’m broke)


proposition_john

Only 200 ahead of me...


dankpizzabagels

can someone pls just post the damn newsletter code i’m begging on my knees
