this ruined my day. I shouldn't have gotten my hopes up on this
It REALLY REALLY REALLY sucks, laggy, but I have a pretty strong feeling that he'll either cancel all the tickets and start over for Saturday, announce another (MORE ORGANIZED AND LESS CORRUPT) show on Sunday, or announce a free concert in Central Park.

He's going to do something about it.
I agree. Don't blame yourself, Laggy, you had every reason to assume that you would get tickets for a show that has 20,000 capacity if you were refreshing the page every chance you got at 10:59.
It seems like he WILL do something about it. A free central park show would be sweet, but I think a friday show is more likely.
Its a sucky situation but he cant just cancel all the tickets. What about those people that did get tix? Thats extra crappy for them. Same thing happened when Gaga tix went on sale in Pgh....all sold out in 2 min. She scheduled another show. That cnt really happen in this case now because I guess you cant have 2 farewell shows kinda ruins the novelty for whoever has tix for the first show
Some jackass has 50! tickets for GA listed at $3,500 each on StubHub. I'm going to cry.
I wasn't going to be able to make it, but damn if I didn't want y'all to go dance your socks off for me.
My heart hurts.
I delt with this mess getting our Godspeed tickets, I refused to go through StubHub and lucked out with some really cool chick selling me both of hers at face. Thanks be to the music gods.
C'mon LCD, come through for everyone and fix this shit.

It didn't sell out in 2 minutes. It sold out in two or three seconds. Literally. Google it. Something was up.
And I don't know if he can LEGALLY cancel the tix, but if he can, he should. The (VERY) few fans who were lucky enough to get tix can buy them again when he does a more careful sale. It seems that a good 90% or so of people who got tix were fucking scalpers.

If someone can prove the sale was corrupt in any way, the tickets can all be voided. There is nothing illegal about it, except for the corruption in the first place.
This is something we as music fans should absolutely refuse to put up with. I wish there was something we could do. Ticketmaster/StubHub can go die in a gutter.

(Of course this is easier said than done)
Interesting. If someone has 50 pit tickets when there was a limit of two per person and they sold out in a few seconds, there's obviously some corruption somewhere, right?

cancelling the tickets isn't an option. some people waited out in the cold and others got lucky in the presale. there is no better way to alienate your fanbase than to take away something that they were happy about already having.
while adding another show could compromise the novelty of the april 2nd show i think it would to more good than harm. if they had originally scheduled three shows to end with rather than one, i don't think someone on friday night would be sitting in the stands thinking that this show is going to be so much worse than the sunday one. it also would drive down the ticket prices for the april 2nd show, which would allow the people who have already made travel plans to be able to more easily afford a ticket.
