So basically, I wasted $50. I should know better than to think a) i'd have good luck & b) i'd walk away from something TNA related feeling pleased. I f'n better get to meet Hardy & Jarrett or i'll be demanding a refund.

I f'n better get to meet Hardy & Jarrett or i'll be demanding a refund. I feel you bro. Facking BS! The good news is they did say that you do get to meet TNA stars. There is no guarantee of Hardy or Jarrett. Previous experience is 50/50 on Hardy and I have never seen Jarrett do it. Though, he is usually available at the merchandise stand to sign during intermission or after the show...no charge. Hardy will probably be doing the in ring photos after the show and that means NO CHANCE at an autograph during that time. The last house show I went too, he did come out after the event, while RVD did photos in the ring. He DID NOT come out before the show to sign, but if you bought the $50 backstage pass.....then you got to meet Hardy. BUT considering that the lineup is small.....and I am expecting no more than 4 or 5 matches b/c of it......Jeff might be coming out. The meet/greet portion has been setup like this; those who have the $50 tix get to come in 1 hr. before the show. You lineup along the barricade. Of course with York Fair setup like so, not sure how this is going to work. And you get your stuff out and they walk around signing it. It looks like VERY limited space around the ring, so I have no clue how they are doing this. The woman on the phone made it sound like there are only 5 rows in sections A, b, c, d and e. |

The old broad who sold my tix to me had to be in her late 80s and evidently had no concept of 'close as possible'. I have a feeling, judging from the ticket salespeople & the overall Fair staff, that this sh-t is gonna be a c.f.

She told me the closest she could get me was 5th row. I txted my buddy and he said go for it. Seconds later, I go online to buy my tix and get 4th row. Meh...at least I am not in section E. I am in B....which seems to be almost as bad. |

WOW! TNA is so ass backwards. Just finished ordering my Wilkes-Barre tickets. I get online at 10am and try and order. The first time.....they say there are no tickets available. Second time....same. Third....same. I try again the 4th time and they tell me FL 1 4 row is only available. WHAT?!?!?!?! WTF?! Is TNA alienating their fans again by making them sit behind all the family/friends!? So I try again? FL 1....5th row. I just keep going back. I continue the search and just find the row going further from the ring and the seat numbers getting higher. One last try, I think. WHAM! I found FL 1, row 2. I begin to enter my info. and hit next and I get some sort of ticketmaster error and my tickets are loss.  I rush back, but pull 5th row again. Then I try and now I am in FL 3, row 2. I should be happy, but instead I begin to get this theory. I think TNA might be selling sections first b/c they are in a large arena that holds 13,000 people and want to keep people in a certain area or areas. Maybe they are selling FL 3 next. I continue to search.....4th and 5th....3rd and 2nd again. Back and forth. Back and forth. FINALLY! BAM! Row 1 pops and I checkout....smooth as silk and I got what I needed. But I swear.....sometimes TNA makes me scratch my head. For those curious, the floor plan is set up for TNA. It shows no ramp. Instead it has 4 floor sections and on the top it also shows 1st section off the floor seats available. Everything else is grayed out. In fact, you can see how far a WWE rows would go and see TNA has cut them out and will probably put their merch stands there. |

My buddy's uncle works for the Fairgrounds, and he told us that most of the good front row seats are reserved for Tna's choosing, Fair promotions & radio stations. F'n lame.

I never understood that. I used to work for 93.5 WTPA. We would get stacks of free tickets to give away.....ALL OF THEM....nose bleeds. Yes, we would get 2 or 4 front rows. But for the most part....they were nosebleeds. And really only about 2 stations even promote wrestling, so you know 101.3 THe Rose aint getting tickets to give away. Its totally absurd that they want to alienate their hardcore fans from the product.....but want to give a bunch of half interested the best seats. York Fair is a  ing crap hole anyway, full of hill billy drunks acting like idiots. Not really looking forward to this show at all. In fact, if Jeff wasnt on it.....I wouldnt even goto it. But knowing how Jeff is.....he will probably be hanging out in the fair before and after and filming for THS. So that would be worth it. New Jersey and Wilkes-Barre will be awesome! |

My tix arrived yesterday for York. They look like a child made them. But I did see TNA is doing a few Fairs right now for house shows.

Noticed that Mr. Anderson was quietly removed from the WB show. Ugh.

Its the York Fair's fault for not putting up a seating char that actually specifies a raised section. |

Im going to the house show in Oklahoma the same day as the house show in NY.
I thought it was kind of funny that these are the listed talents for each show:
NEW YORK CITY HOUSE SHOW 9/23
Rob Van Dam
Jeff Hardy
Mr. Anderson
Abyss
The Pope
Desmond Wolfe
Shannon Moore
Jesse Neal
Angelina Love
Jay Lethal
Amazing Red
OKLAHOMA HOUSE SHOW 9/23
Ric Flair
AJ Styles
Kurt Angle
Samoa Joe
Jeff Jarrett
James Storm
Robert Roode
Alex Shelley
Chris Sabin
Madison Rayne
Doug Williams
Matt Morgan
Hernandez
Kazarian
Brian Kendrick
Velvet Sky
I thought the NY "ECW" show would have the better talent so i was surprised, RVD and Abyss are really the only 2 on the ECW show that i even remotely care about.

You are aware that the NYC TNA show features more talent then what you have listed right.

I'll be heading to the Wilkes Barre show. went to the box office to get my tickets the day they went on sale. they were going pretty quick for the $52.50 tickets. i got FL3 row D. now they told me at the box office that ALL of the 52.50 tickets come with the meet and greet passes. which would make sense seeing as how the 52.50 only cover the first 4 or 5 rows i believe. ticketmaster.com also confirms this, i found 2 tickets in row D and it said they came with the passes. but tna's website says its only the first three rows. i don't know, but i'll be pissed if i show up for 5:30 and they tell me i can't get in. also, it seems like the matches for the WB and York shows are exactly the same.  |

Judging by the shows that Pope has worked previously in the northeast so do most fans. |

I'll be in the same section. FL3.....row A. And you're set for the meet greet. $50 ticket gets you meet/greet. Ignore TNA's website. I'm glad I am getting the first crop over the second. Outside of Joe, MCMG and Morgan.....those folks are usually on the north east run of shows. Guys like Pope, Anderson, and Desmond are not. I would rather see Joe and the MCMG over Pope and Anderson. Judging by the shows that Pope has worked previously in the northeast so do most fans. I would agree cept, those guys come up to the Northeast more often. We have not had Pope or Anderson on a TNA house show up here. |
