Quite a pickle...need help!

[adambilz]

Hey all,
So I get an e-mail from the Joe Satriani website saying 'congratulations' and I thought "What on earth is this?" and it says that I've won 2 backstage passes to the concert in Boston! Now what I forgot is that after I entered the contest on his website that I got tickets to a show in PA instead of Boston, I guess I forgot to take my name out of the drawing. Now, the Boston show is sold out and I've tried EVERYTHING to get a ticket or two with zero luck. Should I e-mail the website and tell them to give them to someone else or should I try my luck for a shady scalper at the show? This is the chance of a lifetime, Satch AND Eric Johnson!! Man, I finally win something...

Adam, congrats on your win!

I'd hunt for a tickets, then hunt for a scalper in a heartbeat, no question.

Have you checked ebay for tickets?

There's also a couple other good ticket hawking places to check, I can't remember the names off the top of my head.

You might be able to find tickets on Ebay...?

 

[adambilz]

Yeah, I've checked e-bay furiously the last few days...nothing yet I'll keep tryin'. Thanks for the suggestions!

Hmm, are those tix for the show at the Palace in Greensburg, PA?

 

[adambilz]

I can't make it to the PA show, I sold my tix for that one (it was the Upper Darby show)

Also, venues periodically release tickets all the way up to showtime. Sometimes, the best seats a day or 2 before. Keep trying.

Selling passes could be a last resort backup plan

 

[adambilz]

Snagged Some Tickets!!!!! Yeeeeeehaw!

 

[fogman]

Congrats!
We want a full update after the show, and some pics if you can manage them!

 

[adambilz]

Do you suppose they'd let me take a camera in? Does having passes make a difference? Hmmmm

I wouldn't know personally, but most cell phones have cameras too!
Hopefully someone that knows will be able to answer that for you.
