OFFICIAL COMMENT THREAD
A little disappointed. I liked on the old site how each page was a different time. Now, if I sort by time, it's only sorting one page, the page of "As".
I also relly liked the old way that had each time for each day on it's own page. For my purposes, this was a great feature. Please think about bringing that option back.

The new site looks great but I think the listings is too short therefore requires the tedious task of open each page one at a time rather than just scrolling down the list quickly. Other than that I love the new layout. Keep it up! You guys are awesome!
Looks great. But I agree, with others. I liked last format better. Of being able to go to date, and knowing that 1-4 would be the four different time zones.
I also liked being able to see people's comments right at the bottom of the page, instead of having to go to a separate button to read them.
man, no one likes change apparently. I won't go as far as saying that I liked the other one better. I think the new features far outweigh those of the last site. Like everything else, I am sure it's just a matter of getting used to it.
New site is too pretty and you guys are NOT pretty boys. Seems like the advertisers had more influence on the new site than the users. Anyway evolution happens for better or worse. I know you guys are working hard so thanks and keep it up. I'll probably get used to it as well but how long before we see more changes? Another 3-4 months again...?
Sorry to say, but with the new format, I won't be visiting this site anymore. There are plenty of other sites offering free presale passwords that are easier to navigate.
I know I sound like a broken record, but...the new site is much more time-consuming to navigate. If there was a way to include more listings on 1 page and also have it filtered alphabetically within each on-time slot (like the old format), it would make it much for efficient for the user. THANKS FOR ALL YOU GUYS DO!!!!!!
I agree with the "too short" comments previously posted - the new format requires far too many clicks - would it be possible to extend the amount of shows displayed on each page - perhaps double the current amount?
Also - Question: Shows are listed well in advance - as opposed to just the current date - will this be a rolling list updated as you get new info, or only at specific times?
Otherwise - great work!
It takes too long to search the presales now. If you can change it back, I would appreciate it.
Definitely prefer the old site. As others have mentioned, it was easy to simply click on "Presale Passwords," pull up the date, and look at what goes on sale at what time on pages 1-4 for 10:00, 11:00, 12:00, and 1:00. I still haven't figured out how to select a particular day and find what I'm looking for. I appreciate this website a lot, but I'm NOT A FAN of the new look/setup at all.
Thanks for the comments. In case you did not see it, I have compiled a response to many of them here.
Anyone know the password for Taylor Swift?

Mne, it is plain awful. You guys must be clueless not to figure out that this new way/site would be a hinderence instead of a help. Who is paying you to have the site this way. It is awful.
So what is the consensus on the Britney Spears tour? High interest in tickets? Or think its gonna be a bust?
How about Nickelback? Slipknot??
Thanks!!
Hey Ron, I have been wondering this myself. I think that the fact that Nickelback is doing ALL General Admission on the floor of the arenas means resale value won't be that high. Unless you have really great seats to the side of the stage.
As for Britney Spears, I think it will all depend on ticket prices. If she's crazy enough to try and charge Madonna-ish prices ($250-$350/each), then I doubt they will resell well. If she keeps prices to $100-$125 tops, then you gotta figure prime seats will still be able to sell well above face in the secondary market to those diehard fans. One HUGE guess on my part is that prices and demand on the secondary market will drop DRASTICALLY once the first concert happens due to the poor performaces (let's not kid ourselves) a la Neil Diamond.
As for Steve's comment. I am just a visitor so I really shouldn't get in the middle, but your comment is completely unnecessary and just plain rude. It's in no way helpful or constructive to the people who manage the site. If you hate it that badly, then go somewhere else.
We have not been able to find any official prices published anywhere, but some tickets have already been listed for the Allstate Arena concert on Ticket Network. They are in the low $100 range, so face value is not likely in the Madonna range. It seems wise for the producers to keep prices low given the risk (due to Britney's recent troubles and the economy) associated with this tour.
The new Nokia Ticket Rush presale password is out...it is SEAT. The new HOB password is also out...it is LIVE.
Does anyone have the PW for BB king in Rochester?
Also, I agree with Carlos- Steve's comments are rude and uncalled for. This is a great site! Steve, if you don't like it then change the channel.

whoops. sorry about the way the dates are listed. It's supposed to be a column with one show per line, but I guess when submitted, the site gets rid of all extra blank space (?). If that can be edited by the Admin to be easier to read, it'd be great. Thanks!
Thanks Carlos, we were not able to get them before they were taken down. I'll get them up in the list ASAP.
For those that are interested, comments allow HTML, so if you want to add links, you can do so (spam will be deleted), and for a list like this, simply adding a line break at the end should take care of formatting.
As a rule, we don't touch your comments (except to delete spam), but I'll edit your comment to fix the formatting.
Note, I have not actually tested all HTML tags, but the basic ones should work.
I heard the following price points for Britney, but am not sure. $500, $250, $150, $95,... Some goofy stage setup where the $500 seats are actually part of the stage (maybe like Il Divo???)
As I said --- this is from one source. We'll find out soon I guess
Wow.
Wow, in deed. I have trouble believing that those will be the actual prices. There isn't even an MSG show on the tour. She's doing Nassau Coliseum. I can believe her charging $250 but $500!?!?! There's gonna be an aweful lot of empty seats in those big arenas.
The WBC lottery presale for today is NOT a unique code...it is 09WBC.
Spear's show in Utah is back up on ticketmaster. Prices range from $37.50 to $125. So the post above about the rumored $500 seats must be incorrect. I can see prices going up to $150 for the bigger cities (LA, NY, MIA, etc), but doubt they'll go up to $500 a piece.
Please make each listing in a larger font or Bold print like the old site. It was much easier to read. Man, I must me getting old!!!
Mark, to increase the whole list size, just hit CTRL + the plus sign...this will help with your "getting old" eyes throughout the internet. Regarding Boldness, on the old site, only the event name was bold...is that what you are suggesting or do you mean the whole list? Are others feeling that they need boldness in the list as well?
It does look like my source was wrong for the Britney prices. I'm glad. I noticed a 4 ticket limit for the GA floors and 8 ticket limit for the reserved seating. The date listed for the general onsale is the same as the presale unless that is incorrect.
BILLY JOEL AND ELTON JOHN TOUR
Looks like their rumored tour next year will be announced soon. There is nothing currently in their page at ticketmaster; however, Philips Arena (Atlanta) currently has their concert on their website.
Information from Venue's site:
Elton John and Billy Joel Face 2 Face

Anyone able to get anything? I tried Uniondale, sold out on first search.. I'm guessing nothing much was released?
How many times did you try? There are a lot of lowers coming out in the lower half of rows right now for Boston, DC, etc.
I checked after :08... nothing EVER came up for uniondale, bad luck picking that one I guess.
Nothing much of anything put on ebay yet. No floors.
Good luck throughout the day everyone.
That's odd. Anyone else see that with any other cities?
Now I'm pulling floors non stop for Uniondale, and they're not selling. No floors for any other city on ebay yet. I'm guessing seats are going to be the way to go with her.
The old delayed delay. Close reserveds would be the best. I think there will be a lot of demand for floors because she still has enough young fans that want to get close, but there is also going to be a lot of supply. There are only a few reserved seats on the floor.
Anyone been able to pull up any reserved ringside tickets using the regular passwords?
I am thinking that those are probably the VIP experience tickets they are selling for $500+/each. There's no thing on ebay for reserved floor seats. There are several "VIP GA RINGSIDE" tickets on stubhub, which I guess answers that question.
Doesn't look like this is going to be a hot seller to me.
I'd agree. WAY too many good seats still available for the shows that went on sale at 8AM.
Missed this one. =/
How is the water?
Does anyone have the promotional code for the Brittney show at the Mohegan Sun in CT. The presale is happening now!
