[Campion]

After nearly 20 mins of waiting in their "waiting room" finally got through. All of P2 is already sold out. Absolutely unbelievable. I never thought I'd say I miss Ticketmaster, but there you go.

[LuvMyPBR]

I tried there customer service number also and its busy tone

[IheartMillerLite]

This is beyond ridiculous!!!!

[Joey]

[sjosey]

unclefeiny was able to get in... he got his ticket and car camping

YEAH!:)

[sjosey]

they only let me get 2 p-1'

That sucks -- I need 6 -- are they 1,000?

[IheartMillerLite]

I just need one.....and I still can't get in!!

[Joey]

are what 1000

[LuvMyPBR]

THIS sucks!!!

[sjosey]

Guess we aren't the chosen ones!

maybe looking for after market tixs!

[sjosey]

are what 1000

p-1 tickets ---

[Countrycamper]

Went in at 10:00. Was in waiting room for 10 min and ticket screen opened. Bought ED 1 and P1 reserved seats. Very quick though the camping section was confusing. Noticed only could buy 2 reserved seats. Also on first screen you had to check the section that said passes and camping but was unsure if this allowed later purchase of reserved seats - but it did. First time we have gotten P1. Shocked. Of course this is our entire year's vacation budget in one fell swoop! But worth it. Good luck everyone!

What.. Went in at 9:58 and they said it was first come.. This is bogus

[sjosey]

Got in P-1 no longer available!!!!!

[Campion]

Yeah, I'm bummed. Was in the waiting room 5 minutes before 10, but didn't get into the ticket section until 1020, by which time P2 was sold out. Thought about biting the bullet on P1 tickets, but within 5 minutes they were all gone too. If we still decide to go, we can pick up GA tix much closer to time.

Such a bummer that the reserved seating all went so early.

[Gone2Havasu]

Has anyone gotten in and bought ED I 50 amp yet?

[keebzie]

RIght?? Do you think its because eveyone in the Southwest who watched The Voice wants tix now to see Blake Shelton?? I know it's a random explanation but, that show was hella popular in America. Almost American Idol status.

Lame! I've been in since 10 so I should get mine after you Joey. Let me know when you get through!

I keep dying at level 5 of the damn snake game. It's not helping my frustration levels.

[IheartMillerLite]

KittyLeigh just got in! She's buying mine for me and now I have a layaway with her. =)

[angiemarie123]

IT WAS DEFINITELY NOT FIRST COME FIRST SERVED
I was lucky I had a laptop, because my desktop still didn't log into the account, still sitting in the waiting room on that one.... that is screwed.

[keebzie]

Ahhh I have to work at 1130!! This suckksss!

[Gone2Havasu]

I think the 888 number is a joke.....it's probably just one phone and they take it of the hook!!! Beeb...beeb...beeb...beeb

[angiemarie123]

Ahhh I have to work at 1130!! This suckksss!

i would log out and log back in.... people are releasing tickets now, someone just got better seats than me.

[LuvMyPBR]

i would log out and log back in.... people are releasing tickets now, someone just got better seats than me.

I just tried it so we will see. Also doing it on the internet on my phone.. This is ridiculous and definitely is not first come first serve..

[IheartMillerLite]

Just got in....up to 228 now with fees for 1 GA.

[LuvMyPBR]

Just got in....up to 228 now with fees for 1 GA.

ouch!!

[keebzie]

Yeah 149.00 my ass! I was expecting fees but tix prices already jumped to 181. I got mine, guess that's all that matters. I wish they wouldnt advertize 149 though. I told all my friends tix would be 150 if they bought them soon.

Wasnt expecting that. I'm guessing car camping will be sold out soon too! Yikes!

[ratty2146]

Just got in....up to 228 now with fees for 1 GA.

OMG I'm so angry....how is this fair at all, what happen to first come first server.

[IheartMillerLite]

well i understand if it's 149 for everyone on the first day. but this first 5000 is pure BS, especially when they did not do it in order. I signed on like 10 minutes after my friend and she STILL ISN'T IN!!!

[LuvMyPBR]

Nothing yet still!! on it like 5 different computers!!! I geuss ED2 is sold out also!!

[keebzie]

Wow. Yeah, I almost feel bad for Stageoach. Looks like the new frontgate peeps have a failed system. A lot of loyal fans are going to be upset. I'd be livid if I were your friend Lisa.

[herv13]

well i understand if it's 149 for everyone on the first day. but this first 5000 is pure BS, especially when they did not do it in order. I signed on like 10 minutes after my friend and she STILL ISN'T IN!!!

exactly, it should be 150 for the first DAY. or first few hours. when all the diehard fans are logged on, ready to buy...

[Countrygurl]

the system is working - thousands of passes are being sold. The demand is very high. there is a long line. we appreciate everyone's patience.

[sandholic]

Countrygurl, is ED2 sold out???????

[KUZN EDY]

just said edII sold out.> FUCK EVERYTHING!

[caligirlUCR]

i was in and then had no 4:30 remaining and i hit purchase and it kicked me out!!! Ahhhhhhhhhh WTH

[Countrygurl]

yes, ed2 just sold out. stuff is selling so quickly its hard to keep up.

[webwevers101]

Not sure how I did it but I logged in a little before 10:00am and was taken to the waiting room. At about 10:15 I was taken to the buy passes screen. I was able to score two P1 Seats, Row F 51-52, I tried to buy an ED-1 pass and was unable to. So instead of waiting I just bought those passes. I still needed 3 GA tickets so I logged back in and was able to find those and added the ED-1 and a companion parking pass. So I was able to get everything I wanted. It sure was a nighmare though trying to find what I was looking for. All in all Iam happy! Ready for StageCoach 2011!!!!! Now the wait.

[HollyWren]

OMG!!! I went to the ticket website at 9:50 and started clicking on the page... at 9:55 it put me into the waiting room, WHERE I STILL AM AN HOUR AND 20 MINUTES LATER! This is beyond ridiculous. I planned my day around getting tickets. It took 5 minutes on ticketmaster last year. Why did you switch stagecoach???? So bummed! My mom and I splurge on Stagecoach as our birthday and Christmas presents every year to get the reserved seats. It's our big thing together. So bummed it looks like it won't happen this year. :(

[sjosey]

I am also so angry! Got in had my tickets in my basket (P1 is sold out) -- Had tickets for P2 -- when I got to the end of my checkout, my tickets changed to another section, row and seats! How frustrating is that!!!!!

Then I was booted off and am back in the waiting room -- call the number, no luck -- sent an email -- nothing but a computer generated response. ...


I GIVE UP == almost and hours and a half ... and still no tickets!

[ratty2146]

whats the point of a waiting room if it doesn't take people out first come first serve!

[LuvMyPBR]

the system is working - thousands of passes are being sold. The demand is very high. there is a long line. we appreciate everyone's patience.

Bullshit the systems i working!!! some people log on and are buying tickets within minutes while others have been waiting for an hour and logged on at like 955!!!!

[Micfly3]

Country Girl, this prosess sucks dont try to defend it please. It is not taking people in order, i have been waiting since 9:55 and never got in!! I understand it is not your choice, but dont defend it because it is certainly not working. This porocess sucks and everyone on this board knows it.

For anyone willing i just used my phone to go and buy tickets bundled trogether with hotal and bus ride to/from the show, i bought 2 p2 and hotel for 2470 total.

[angiemarie123]

Bullshit the systems i working!!! some people log on and are buying tickets within minutes while others have been waiting for an hour and logged on at like 955!!!!

not in order. i have been in several times.

[LuvMyPBR]

If you are buying GA tickets, just save your time and buy them next week... They are already maxed out!!

[KUZN EDY]

ive logged in 3 computers at work. 2 different internet conection, and one wifi. Called my wife to log on and she gets in in 10min.????? WTF. I started at 10am!

FOCKIN SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! now i got to pony up an extra 500bucks because of this system!

[Hsilverm]

This system is definitely not working and is definitely not fair. My friend and I have been waiting now for an hour and a half and counting... I'm about to give up because I have to go soon! I'm so disappointed.

[Jean C R]

am still in waiting room!!!! Got my son in Colorado to buy tickets...he got through so we got the last row in reserved seating! It's now 1 1/2 hours after start of sale!

[HollyWren]

One hour and 45 mintutes in the waiting room???? While other people waited only a few minutes that logged on way after me?? How is this a system that works??????? Totally not fair!
Stagecoach PLEASE go back to Ticketmaster next time. Took me 5-10 minutes and was FAIR! Frontgate has to be one of the worst systems I've ever dealt with.

[TequilaGirl]

Does anyone know if car camping has sold out yet??

[snappyjoy]

AN HOURS AND 40 MINUTES AND NOTHING !

[joanis01]

took me 15 min, luckily they arent sticklers at work about break times

[herv13]

Does anyone know if car camping has sold out yet??

yes. sold out.

[snappyjoy]

AN HOUR AND 50 MINUTES AND STILL 3 COMPUTERS! AND NOTHING.. WHEN DID PURCHASEING A TICKET AT A FAIR PRICE BECOME A LOTTERY?

[Wickitup]

This was really bad system ...I could not get in for over an hr and my friend did it and got in but all 149.00 tickets sold out.......come on it is only grass and dirt why do they limit the number of lower price tickets this is totally unfair and they should limit the number to get in but to limit the lower price tickets is a total rip off..... :-$

[Generic180]

Ive been signed on since before 9:55 and STILL in the waiting room....this is pathetic. Frontgate is obviously not equipt to deal with this much traffic so PLEASE SEND IT BACK TO TICKETMASTER...I'll pay the damn fees just to get on with my day!

[counselme]

Just got in...1hr, 45 min..... Tickets for GA are $211 plus fees... Bunch of Bull!! I don't like the new system and how they jumped the prices before noon!! As much as I love the stagecoach and have gone every year since it started...I won't be going this year.

[counselme]

I totally agree.... Ticketmaster!!!

[Joey805]

[Chevgirl357]

This system did NOT work. It failed most of us. As DOZENS of people have stated here, we waited for hours, when people sitting next to us (in my case) got in in 5 minutes when logging on AFTER me. This is not a success, it's a huge failure. No reason to defend it saying there's a wait. I get that there's a wait. Ticketmaster dealt fine with that, but I have NEVER waited over 2 hours (oh yes, I'm STILL in the waiting room btw).

[Joey805]

[Country Gypsy]

still in waiting room 2 hours and 20 min. signed on at 9:55. still on phone with 136 redials and nothing but busy signal. anyone know if ada sold out in el dorado I

[cmsandiego]

We were able to get in. The screwy thing was, we originally logged on right at 10:00 and were placed in the waiting room. After 35 minutes in there, we lost our internet connection logged back on and got through in less than 5 minutes. Definitely a messed up system. We have friends that weren't able to get into ED2 and are in international so I guess we'll be bouncing back and forth...very lame but I'm glad we're going.

[kcfan74]

Stagecoach, This really sucks. Go back to Ticketmaster

[Joey]

ada sold out... ED I is only avaiable in 50 amp

[calgal]

Anyone know where Section 9 is? It's not on any map I've seen for this year.

[Joey]

Sec 9? didn't see it either.. maybe they are expanding the P-2 area to make mor $$$$

Anyone still in the waiting room?

[MissMandy89]

yeah went in again for a friend

Wrote my letter! Please share any response you guys get, im very curious.

Out of the 5 groups of friends i have that ALL logged on at 10am, i was the only one to get passed the waiting room before 12pm (actually, my wife from her work, once i started networking anyone who had a computer to log on and wait for me). I als was the only one who could get an RV Camping spot (ended up with ED1 - nobody wanted to pay for 50amp or international). So basically what i am saying is 100% of my friends had problems with this system.

[vanceb01]

I logged in a 9:55 and at 12:15 got GA tickets, but guess what, at $211, how unfair. Go back to Ticketmaster Stagecoach. Front Gate is not equipped to handle an event like this.

lol i got to level 4!!!

[Joey]

lol
great! did you get ur tickets and camping?

[Tigzzy]

I was in there over 3 hours this morning, and I NEVER got through. I logged in at 10:00 am like they said. Finally, 2 hours into my wait, I got thorough on the phone where I waited another hour until I got through to buy tickets. By then, of course, my 2 GA tickets cost me $466.00. It is just WRONG for the tickets to go up on the first day of sales. My husband and I have gone to Stagecoach every year. But if this happens again, we probably won't be going again. It is just too much money and especially when we were online when they said and because of their stupid phone system, we couldn't get through. I got screwed and there wasn't a thing I could do about it. We have always gone with a large group of 15 to 20 people every year, and because of the cost increase, we are the only ones that bought our ticket today. Everyone else got through and then decided not to buy because of the huge cost increase. Golden Voice, this is WRONG. You should refund all of us that purchased our tickets on this first day, and were logged in at 10:00 am, back to $149.00 for GA.

[unclefeiny]

lol i got to level 4!!!

I made it to level 5 once!

[LannyMc]

*******GOOD NEWS*******

ha ha ha ha ha the damn wait room sucked... was anyone else able to play the snake game or did it keep refreshing on your game like it did mine!

ha ha, I wasn't able to get more than 3 blue dots before it refreshed. But I was one of the lucky ones that got in the system and got tix at the low price, and again was able to help my room mate do the same. After that I was able to get in for his bro in law, but at the higher price. all of us were able to get car camping. I'm sure if I didn't I would be as pissed off as everyone else for how this was handled :o

[Joey]

yeah my snake only ate 4 dots then it would refresh....
as for Tigzzy...
the price increase does blow... but atleast the 466 was cheeper than it cost back in 08 with the three days.... remember the GA tickets were 249 each pluss TM fees.... i just can't believe all the camping sold out that fast!

[keebzie]

I got to level 8!!

That game did not make up for that process though. I think I had a mini heat-attack while purchasing. They gave you 10 minutes to check everything. I felt like I was on some nightmare game show where if I got the answer wrong, someone would shoot me in the face!

I guess I really wanted a camping spot that bad... haha.

[Joey]

the 10 min thing was TORCHER! ha ha ha so what camping did you end up with?

[keebzie]

Car camping :) I have a feeling I'll only have a couple friends coming with me now though, since not all of them are diehard country fans and are willing to pay 300 dollars for the weekend GA pass.

Did you get ED II like you wanted??

[counselme]

the system is working - thousands of passes are being sold. The demand is very high. there is a long line. we appreciate everyone's patience.

Whether the system works or not (which it didn't), what's with the greed?? I got in after 1 hr 45 min, saw the increase to $211 plus fees, and decided not to purchase tickets. This will be the first Stagecoach Festival I've missed since it started. How sad that Stagecoach organizers feel money outweighs fans and loyalty. Just plain GREED! Just wished more people boycotted like I did!

it was stated the price would go up after the first and second batch of 5000 passes was sold. blame the people who bought before you, not goldenvoice.

Same here... We've gone every year too. Never a problem getting through and getting tickets. We're not going either...unless we win some! Something is definitely wrong with the pricing and reservation system. It's a shame...lots of unhappy loyal fans of Stagecoach.

[gaypalmsprings]

Be thankful you got tickets. When it sells out, which will be soon, you'll find out that $199 tickets were cheap.
