Garth Day Tales


I'm starting this thread specifically to collect the outcomes of tomorrow's ticket adventures. Here's the rules to play on this post, thank you in advance for playing by them:

- Post here at the END of your adventure. When you either have tickets in hand, or you've given up.

- Tell us what you went through to get there. All dramatic details are appreciated, we love good stories!

- Please post the city / state / country you are posting from

- Make sure you include how many tickets you got for how many shows

- Let's keep all the chit chat, congratulations, & condolences out so we can look over a string of stories at the end of the day. Thanks!

As mentioned, I'm not going to be near a computer and am relying on my brothers to get me tickets. I'm not picky on which night, I will find a way to get there.

Those of you with my cell phone number are expected to text me once you get tickets -- THEN come post here and let everyone else know. :-D
Good luck my friends and fellow Nutts!!
Remember -- BELIEVE !!!!

So...

First things first, I get on ticketmaster have no luck whatsoever - calling or online. The Saturday show comes up and I hit the refresh button a few times because the ticket selection screen hadn't become available yet. So Ticketmaster thinks I'm an automated system or scalper and shuts me off for 15 minutes. By that time the Saturday show sells out then the Friday show comes up. No luck there - so I said, you know what the heck with this. I went to Garth's page on Ticketmaster - no new shows. Then I said I'm going to try one more time - if it doesn't work, it's not going to for me. I hit refresh - it says there's a Thursday show. I go over put in two tickets click next - do the little word verification and it freezes on me. I said to my self 'crap, here it goes again.' All along the live stream's not working and I'm cursing every breath. All of a sudden Garth's voice comes on and click... it was like SEVENth heaven... I had two tickets for the Thursday show! What a day.

It worked out better for me because my girlfriend could only go on Thursday or Friday (her lone days off) and this is part of my Christmas present (she left me the card lol). If I had gotten tickets any other day she likely wouldn't have gotten to go. It worked out best, so she can go to her first Garth show. So Wednesday night she gets off at 9:30 Eastern, we're leaving East Tennessee and drivin' towards Missouri. Right now she's looking into getting that Saturday off - so we may be in town Friday if anybody has any extra for that show.

If there's people on here and from the forum that are going to the Thursday show - I'd love to have a get together either before or after the show somewhere close by. (My girlfriend jokes at me because I'm Garth-crazy, and she rarely believes me when I say - there's millions just like me. We'll show her lol) There's a BBQ joint two blocks from the Sprint Center (main & 5th) that has karaoke on that Thursday night - it'd be fun, or heck I'd do about anything else. I hope to see a lot of the same people I met at the Opry two years ago - when we waited outside forever and got the free comp tickets to that second show and all rushed down to the front of the stage. Okay I'm rambling - great morning. Hope all had great luck! :o)

Wow, I'm exhausted now!! Almost had a nervous breakdown the last days, and now this. I have no idea how many times I wrote that little code... Puh... At last, I got tickets for Monday the 5. and Tuesday the 6. I have some spare for Monday the 5. I think. But not very good seats.
Need to go and rest now...

Reporting as ordered. ;)

The stress level and adrenaline flowing is off the roof right now. Among a few of us we were able to get tickets for 5 shows...don't know if we'll have extras or not. Just starting to work on the details. Tried for the 14th just for the heck of it but never got through. When the 12th was added, I got through but was shut out...didn't realize that show was also limited to KC area. Live stream never came on for me until after noon Eastern. Just kept refreshing on Ticketmaster to see if more dates would come up. The 11th came up and I got through and got my first show about 11:20am. Kept on and refreshing...got shut out on the 10th and the 9th (although one of my friends got through for the 10th) and then was able to get some for the 8th, 7th and 6th. Was able to get them for the 5th, but I figured my credit card had enough at that point.

Did anyone else see that there was a 6-ticket limit for the run of the shows and a 6-ticket limit per household? I'm hoping that doesn't mean what I think it means and all my orders get cancelled. That wasn't made known earlier and I wouldn't have known if there wasn't a lull in the ticket ordering and I started reading.

Also, if you didn't happen to notice after dates stopped being added...Trisha has been added for all 9 dates as the very special guest on Ticketmaster's site.

Anyway, I'm wiped and need to decompress.

I tried and tried to get tickets for the Saturday and/or Sunday shows but could not. I never could get the live feed. If anyone has two extra tickets for Saturday or Sunday, I would love to go then. My husband cannot get off work any other time.

I didn't attempt to get tix for the first show because I'm in Indiana. Then my sister got thru for the 2nd only to find out it was restricted also. Then she got thru for the 4th show (which we figured would be the last). She entered her credit card number and while she was entering the expiration date her phone lost the call! She turned loose a 4-letter word that her kids have never heard from her before! lol She called customer service and the order hadn't gone thru. No joy.

Eventually she and I both got thru and we've got tix for the 8th and 9th. Bless Garth for doing 9 SHOWS!! The man is truly incredible.

Look out KC! Some Hoosiers are coming to town! lol

Message for Marcos:

I tried to post on your blog but couldn't. I have to see if we are related since our original last name was spelled as you have spelled yours. My family is originally from Madeira and some of them moved to Brazil. Are you in any way related to Ascension Barreto?
