Welcome to your new PresaleToday!

We hope you will enjoy both the new design and the changes in functionality and service offerings.

The new stuff either incorporates suggestions from users, lays a foundation for building other stuff you have suggested or is stuff you didn't request but we thought you'd want anyway.

This includes (but is not limited to):

• Ability to sort the event list.
• Better artist-based search.
• JavaScript password pop ups have been replaced by an AJAXy display of password information.
• The automatic redirect to the ticket sales page has been replaced by an optional redirect. (You can click through or just close the password box to return to the event list).
• More precise links to Ticketmaster for some (but not all) sales.
• Ability to view future on-sales beyond just today's and tomorrow's events.
• View presales from the home page or click through to the list.
• Room for more content that you will see added over time.

In addition, we have made many upgrades to our infrastructure that will make the site more stable and allow us to build some really cool features for you in the near future.

Some Issues You will Find

Please remember that the site will still be in BETA for a bit longer. You cannot, for example, log-in or register (don't worry you are not missing anything yet). You also cannot comment directly on the event list yet. Instead, we have set up a comment thread here that appears in the right nav on every page of the site.

Also, it will take us a day or two after launch to get the daily e-mail and the Ticket Toolbar reset and functioning properly.

There is also a chance that there may be some missing events or some that appear in multiple places while we work out data issues. The timing of the release is *relatively* convenient since there will be very little going on sale Thanksgiving week anyway.

Once the site is live we will address these issues to try to avoid any interruptions. If you are experiencing any issues with any part of the site after the release, please let us know so we can address them. We have set up a bug tracker and suggestion thread here. Please use it licentiously.

Once again, we've come a long way since the days of posting a couple of hot events each day on the Blogger blog. It would not have been possible without the help of a number of people that shared in the vision of making it easier for people to access tickets for live events. Thanks are in order to the various staff and contractors we have had over the years and especially to our current design and development team, which was firmly dedicated to the needs of our users from the outset of this project.

And as always, thank you all. By using, participating in and spreading the word about the site, you make its existence possible. We are glad you will be here for another era!
