Vote McKinney
I will not vote for either of these phonies. Barack Obama is the furthest thing from change. Corporate America controls America because of Joe Biden's loan sharking state of Delaware. Every corporation incorporates there bc the laws favor big business. Allow credit card companies to charge 25% and up, allow lawyers to write corporate contracts to protect the business, allow banks to pursue aggressive growth, but never favor the consumer. I would have to say Delaware is responsible for this country's economic collapse as much as anybody. And Barack the candidate of change, picks old timer Joe Biden. To prove my point, Biden's own son works as a lobbyist for the credit card companies. What change? Same old bs, and I am disappointed that more people don't see it. We need a 3rd party, vote for Cynthia McKinney, her views are more in line with what I would perceive as the deadhead perspective. All that said, if I can score a ticket, I'm going.

Ticket Limit
It is my understanding that the reason for the delay in tickets being released is that ticketmaster is cross referencing all ticket purchases to ensure that no one exceeded the 2 ticket limit that ticketmaster set for this sale. It is also my understanding that if you purchased 2 tickets.....then went back in and purchased more tickets with either the same credit card or e-mail address that you will not be eligible to receive any tickets......I considered going back in to purchase more after my 1st 2 with a different credit card but thought better of it. Hope too many of you weren't greedy, it may have cost you the chance to see the show. GOOD LUCK!!!!

MOJOBAMA!
I support Obama!. I am not sure I would go if they were supporting Mc Cain though. Fortunately in my case I don't have to sell myself out to see the Boys! I am about as far left leaning as you can get so this show is right up my alley. Ain't no need to hate...barely time to wait! Oh-oh what I want to kinow is are you kind?

News from the Bryce Jordan Center

Lots will open on SUNDAY! This should mean there will be a serious Shakedown street! On the ticket front: "Some patrons had attempted to purchase more than the limit of two tickets. If you had created a second account and purchased another set of tickets, you should have been notified by Ticketmaster that your order was cancelled and money was credited back to your charge card. In the event that you received tickets or TicketFast emails on a cancelled order, NOTE THAT THE BARCODE HAS BEEN INVALIDATED AND WILL NOT ALLOW ENTRY INTO THE BUILDING. Patrons with cancelled tickets will be denied entry and information will be provided for the PA State Attorney General’s Office in the event they need to file a complaint regarding any tickets purchased on the secondary market (StubHub, eBay, TicketNetwork, etc)."
