Kanye West concert tickets sold out!

The system glitched on me a little, my mother and me have separate card accounts but it blocked my mom after I got tix. It might have been because the server was going nuts, but it might have just been blocking because we have the same billing addy. The terms don't say that separate accounts at the same address can't participate but that seems like how they're running it.

I think the tickets ran out after a couple minutes, so it wasn't super easy, but it wasn't super hard. Probably because not that many people knew about it.

Of course, now that it's been posted here I'm sure those US Open tickets will be next to impossible to get.

The one you'll have the best shot at is probably the Fandango tickets, they're giving out a lot of those over several days, so you'll have quite a few shots at it.

BTW, AMEX rocks so hard it's not even funny. This kinda makes up for all the crazy changes they've been implementing (no more double everyday points, no more BVG, etc.). Of course, it only makes it up for us New Yorkers, the rest of the country is screwed

Wait a minute, that's a great idea, I think AMEX should just keep cutting benefits, and use the savings from the rest of the country to fund awesome events every week for New Yorkers to go to. That would be hilariously awesome, because then I'd be eating free and going to shows for free while everyone else no longer has insurance or bvg or points. Bwahahahahaha


BTW if anybody wants my Kanye West tickets, that'll be $90000...each. Since you can't actually get tickets any other way (not sold anywhere), they're technically priceless!

uh, a dumb question. Is blue cash rebate the same thing as blue cash? I was wondering if I'd be able to get in on the tix with my blue cash card.

thanks in advance!

Latke said: do you have to apply for a NEW card or are existing cardholders eligible- and if so, which cards are eligible?

I called today, and the csr basically said that if it's an AMEX, then it will work.

you can check eligible cards here: http://www.membershipchangeseverything.com/global/eligibility.jsp

this might help if you win the tix for the US Open:

AMEX card holders get free serenading.

The site crashed. I could not load the page...
As usual...

Sold out when i finally was able to load the page...

Got code for 2 Tickets to US Open.

I got the code - yes, one time use.

And no, I can't actually get the tickets from the Ticketmaster site.....

dhobi said: Got code for 2 Tickets to US Open.

what code did u use? the one you got in the email( one time use code) or another when they asked for a password?

yep same thing, I got a non-working code. Or at least one that won't allow me to purchase seats.

I know the tickets for the US Open have been sold out for a while. I tried to pay for seats a while back and they didn't have any. Maybe you'll have to contact AMEX.

I did not get email, did anyone else?
Atleast I printed the page with the code.

I got the e-mail, but it still does not work. Here is what it stated

Congratulations. You're in.

You and one guest will see some of the best players in tennis with two complimentary Promenade tickets to the evening session of the US Open on Monday, September 4, 2006, at the USTA National Tennis Center in Flushing, Queens. Just one more advantage of being an American Express Cardmember.

To claim your tickets, click here and input the special-offer code below.

Here's your one-time use

special-offer code:XXXXXXX

Still no luck...been trying for a while...am gonna let the traffic slide & try again in the nite...anyways got the CODE...and tickets are assured according to AMEX CSR if you have the code.

Internet died at work for websites, but I managed to remote desktop over and grab 2 tickets RIGHT before it ran out (thank god AMEX's claim form doesn't need the flash plugin). I wanted to get 4 (on me and my mom's accounts-she was standing next to me so it's legit) but since it had taken so long for me to get to the server they were out 10 seconds later when I tried to get another 2.

And now this problem...*sigh*

How often does a promotion like this come up with AMEX? I missed out on this one, but am keeping my eyes open in hopes of another promtion like this...
