Yes instant tickets are, first come first serve tickets only through the warehouse that they put up usually about a month away from the show. They get these "extra" tickets from supposed scalpers, ticket brokers, and other means. Then they sell them back through the warehouse to members. Sometimes they are decent seats but it is all luck because you don't know what you are getting until a little bit before the show.

You should still be alright. These literally went up today at 5pm EST. Not that many people know about them yet because they haven't sent out an e-mail like last time. Hell no one on nancies has said anything yet so you should be in good shape!

Am I correct in assuming there are probably 2-3 amazing sets of seats, then mid-rear pavillion?

Eh probably depends on popularity of the venue though and what they were able to get from scalpers and brokers.

Yea 9 times out of 10 i would say yes. The first ones that went up for this tour went up b/w 5 and 6EST during the weekday.

hey if you already have tickets thru warehouse for a show but you want to try to get better tickets can you still get instant tickets

[mulder11]

Yes - you can still purchase instant tickets.

[onesweetdan]

I've never done instants before, so can someone tell me approximately when we get seat locations for instant tix? Is it right after the ordering period, or like a few weeks before the show?

few weeks before the show if it's anything like last year

looks like i'm a little late. they've been up for quite a few hours, so the chances of me gettin anything good for merriweather or riverbend are not good :(

I can't say I'm 100% convinced of that. I've still got a sneaking suspicion that they still end up doing a lottery. I think it's why they don't post the seats until about a week or 2 before the show. You are guaranteed reserved if that's what you requested, but it seems they wait until the last minute so they can pull in the max number of unused/scalped tickets, then run a lottery. I could be wrong. I guess I'll find out for sure this year, considering I must have been one of the first to put in for Toronto instants.

Read post #75, last three paragraphs. An interesting little story about Instants.

its not really a first come basis...thats just for tickets in general...seat locations have nothing to do with being the first to purchase...trust me

The Warehouse has said that those who are first to request instant tickets for a show will receive the best available tickets for that show.

Where do you hear/read that. I literally called the warehouse last year and the guy basically confirmed what the other post said in that the first sets of instants to go up usually relate to the seats that did not sell in the regular lottery. He when on to say that when you buy instants, you simply buying seats-regardless of the location. I believe what he said was true based on the horrible location of my instant seats soon thereafter.
