[Self] Pit/GA ticket pricing?

I'm going to try for Santa Barbara tickets tomorrow, and I've been looking up as much info as possible, but the ticket prices/sections I've seen so far don't have quite as much info as I'd like them to.

For anybody who's got pit tickets, how much were they? This event page just shows $70/$75 for the prices, but doesn't expand on that...

On top of that, does anybody have a run-down of the fees w.a.s.t.e. charges per ticket? Hate to barrage this subreddit with noob-ish questions, but I'm sure you understand my excitement/nervousness. Any help would be wonderful and much appreciated.

I purchased a GA ticket for the Seattle show last week via. W.A.S.T.E. and my price rundown was:

Key Arena Seattle, WA USA (GA Floor standing) ticket: $69.50
Handling Charge:                                      $ 6.95
Shipping:                                             $10.00
Total:                                                $86.45

I will say, however, that I'm not sure why I was charged shipping for a paperless show, but eh, I've got a floor ticket to see my favorite band so I'm not complaining.

I thought WASTE tickets were will-call only?

As did I... But I got this in the email:

IF THE DETAILS ABOVE STATE THAT THE TICKETS ARE WILL CALL/BOX OFFICE COLLECTION, THEN THEY WILL NOT BE MAILED OUT. CUSTOMERS SIMPLY NEED TO TAKE THEIR ORDER CONFIRMATION E-MAIL AND PHOTO ID TO THE VENUE ON THE NIGHT OF THE SHOW. IF NOT THEN TICKETS WILL BE MAILED APPROXIMATELY 4 WEEKS BEFORE THE DATE OF THE SHOW.

IF THE DETAILS ABOVE

I can't find any information that they are will call. I was pretty convinced that they were being shipped. This Canadian also hopes they are.

I can't believe it was that fast. I got to to the purchase screen, then when I had selected my number of tickets (1) it told me "not enough tickets available".

I literally clicked on the sale link the second it changed.

Well, guess I'll have to rely on ticketmaster now :(

I'm just spamming the "tickets" and "buy tickets" buttons on the store... hopefully that works, haha. on the plus side, it's running a lot faster now so hopefully less people are trying...

mechamoose•

well i keep refreshing the part where it says sold out, you think that'll work?

They were predicted anytime from 4am to 10am for the Seattle and San Jose presales, but those didn't end up coming on until 10am.
