New Order Oakland 05OCT2012

I'm in for Oakland/SF on 05OCT.

Who else is in?

grabbed tickets and headed to the show with my college roommate. First NO show was at the Kaiser in 05 (not counting Jimmy Kimmel Live). Should be a good time!

Very nice WJ!

My first NO show wast 1987 (SEP) @ UC Berkeley Greek Theater --- along with Echo and Gene Loves Jez.

I got my tickets this morning. I still have my t-shirts from 1993 Shoreline Ampitheatre show. I'm really looking forward to the smaller venue with general admission/standing room admission.

I was planning to fly to Oakland and I thought that the presale starts on July 29th. Hell no! I see now that it started on July 26th. Now I cannot get a ticket. Totally upset and all.

BTW, who's opening?

I think, the presale contingent is sold. Tomorrow the public sale starts. I hope to get one, too.

At least it would make sense.

I'm going. Might wear one of my NewOrderOnline t-shirts so I'll be easy to spot.

Me, too.

If anyone's got lucky with Ticketmaster, please post here, for us to see if it actually works for the Oakland venue.

Nothing and I have never seen that before were nothing at all available at start time. Something is not right here.

I haven't got through to the NO tickets since 10 AM and I have been checking sporadically since then.

It sucks that they started the presale last Thursday but I was too busy to be bothered. I only realized there was a presale yesterday and even then I was unable to obtain tickets. You would think they would only sell an allotted number of tickets during a presale and the rest through the "public" sale. Makes you wonder why they even bother to state the 29th as the official sale date when in fact it had been sold out for three days already!

At least I've seen them twice during Area 51 and in '05 during the Sirens tour at the Kaiser center and I got to see Hooky before he quit. Unfortunately I've never seen NO with Gillian so that's a bit of a disappointment.

Is there a way to find out if Oakland is sold out? Because if it is, then further checking on Ticketmaster is pointless. I see some 70+ people are attending - Idk if they only plan to do so, or they actually possess tickets; most of them announced that 3 days ago, mind you.

I have also been trying since 10AM. I was surprised to find them unavailable. I think the Fox theater holds 1200.

Checked the Dallas show and it is sold out. They went on sale two days ago. I wonder if it also sold out immediately? Well there is an opening in their schedule before the Oakland date, they should add a date at the Greek.

According to the Fox's website: "The Theater has a reception capacity of up to 2,000 guests, a banquet capacity of up to 500 and a theater capacity of up to 1,800."

Also, not to give false hope to people on here, but typically when a show sells out this fast at the Fox and there's nothing on the calendar the day before or after, a band will book a second night. I see NO has nothing on their schedule for Saturday, Oct. 6th, and neither does the Fox. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

The "sold-out" status is due to the hacks who had purchased presale tickets to re-sell through eBay and Craigslist (I see some of them offer 10 or more tickets for $150 a piece). New Order won't add a second night. Maybe an additional U.S. city, but there's no much time left for promoters. So I don't know what opportunities it leaves to NO fans other than buying tickets at a fucked up price.

I hope you're wrong about any possibility of a second night, but I can see your point. The example I was thinking of was the recent Snow Patrol dates. I don't think NO is doing this tour as a drum up to bigger venues, so you might be right, but I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

If they've got 10 tickets to sell, that means that seller had more than one person was buying them up because 8 was the limit!

or they have more than one credit card.

If you know someone willing to sell an Oakland ticket (GA) at face value, please let me know.

Unfortunately there are 'pro scums' out there that scrape up the presale tix and sell for profits later. This really f's up the true fans.

I know that the Los Angeles date/venue for the Greek Theater Los Angeles (OCT 09) goes on sale on 8/4 --- with no presale info released yet.

Still, I searched stubhub.com --- and saw about 10 listings ( ~ 40 tix) for sale at ~ $200 - $400. Where did they get their tix?

Good luck with search for more OAK tix. I hope they add a second date for OAK --- in fact add 10/6 for OAK and add another LA date for 10/8!

Dallas show did not sell out immediately...I didn't manage to get online until Friday night, and managed to bag my ticket...should have purchased extras...
