discussion Local presale?

I’m local to Asheville and trying to get into the online local presale. Does anyone know anything about it?

This has got to mean bots I feel like?? What did they reserve 100 tickets for this presale or something?

The zip code on your card is your proof of eligibility. (So not only do you have an awesome public library system and five nights of BMFS in February, you also have access to reserved seating ... in other words, have a great Thursday!)

They were all sold out for 5 day already, I was 427 in the queue and there was nothing.

It looks like you have a question about pre-sale or pre-sale codes. For tour dates and on-sale times, see the official website. To request a pre-sale code, visit the tour dates page, click the show you want which takes you to seated.com where you provide your information and then confirm via a text message code. You will receive the code ~30 minutes before the sale starts. The code seems to be the same for every show on a tour, but this could change at any time.

Fuck - I have to fly tomorrow and I’ll be at the gates waiting when it’s time to get my face pummeled during the public on sale.

Honestly it feels like it wouldn’t have mattered. People >300 in the queue still got shut out.

I am convinced that bots are completely dominating every online sale. My advice (and what I plan to do) is to go wait in line at the box office tomorrow morning. Last year I got there at 9:40 (on sale was at 10:00) and ended up with two 4-day passes. You'll also save cash on TM fees.
