Comments on: No TOBY KEITH PRE-SALE Code! :( http://www.mandymag.com/2007/06/18/i-was-screwed-by-the-toby-keith-fan-club/ yes I've changed my theme again! Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:15:39 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Kathy http://www.mandymag.com/2007/06/18/i-was-screwed-by-the-toby-keith-fan-club/#comment-6205 Kathy Sat, 23 Jun 2007 03:28:13 +0000 http://www.mandymag.com/?p=234#comment-6205 WOW!~ I cannot believe this excuse they are giving for letting Target have first shot at Toby tickets. I - like you - purchased the platinum package and I promise this will be the last time I do! Toby is playing a smaller venue out here in SO CAL than usual so seats will be extremely hard to come by and so as far as I am concerned there is no excuse for what has happened. Don't tell me that the fan club did not know these tickets were going on sale! What should have happened is that the fan club should have put their seats on sale the week prior to the cd being released - that is what should have happened! I too hold MR. KEITH responsible as he should make sure his Warriors come first! It is bad enough that invaribly the best seats end up in the hands of ticket agencies who want to charge prices the average fan cannot afford now we get shafted by own fan club!!!!!

It will be in a few weeks. The pre-sale for the Tweeter Center for Mansfile, MA, has NOT happened yet, for the fanclub. It will be in a few weeks.

I'm sure Toby Keith has some say in who can sell his tickets. It is all about the almighty dollar. You're right it is huge companies and huge promoters and everyone is getting rich, except me! ;) I guess it is just the way things are now. Remember the good old days, when true fans could camp out for great affordable seats? :) Thanks again for your response! Dee Brown My response to Jason’s last response:

I agree that fans should have priority. However, Target and Ticketmaster are HUGE companies and the venues have to distribute to them. Business as usual.

I'll be sure to add it as a comment on my blog posting about this today. http://www.mandymag.com/?p=234. Unfortunately, I still feel that it was unfair to give people who purchased a $9.99 copy of the CD, first stab over fans. However, if you are telling me that the presale tickets for good seats will still be available to me, that could be as good as the Target presale tickets, then, I'm less upset now. I still feel that the mix of presale tickets offered to several organizations including Target, Tickemaster, and Music Today, are not fair to the fan club. If an organization is offering $47.00 a year fan club membership fees, they should also be offering and should also guarantee the best seats and the first seats through any presale.

Let me explain the presale ticket information to you. Each ticket outlet receives a batch of tickets.(ie: Target, Ticketmaster, MusicToday) They decide when to put them on presale. Ticketmaster apparently put their tickets on presale earlier then us. Each outlet gets seating that is mixed so there is still an opportunity to get premier seating through TobyKeith.com. You should still receive and email advertising presale tickets for your area. Also, keep an eye on the website. Sign in, click on "fans" then on "presale tix" to get to the list of dates for presale. It is still quite a ways into the future so presale shouldn't be right away. Once again, you will still have the opportunity to get premier seating through Toby's site. Thank you for your patience, and I hope this helps. Thanks, Jason Response from the fan club today:
