Ticketmaster Internet sales for the Minneapolis show go on sale in July, but internet "presale" tix go available on May 16th. Now somebody out there can tell me what's required to get the password necessary to get the presale advantage. Any takers? You'll be a hero in my book of Gord!.. Whataya say..

Where did you even see the presale/Ticketmaster sale date? I looked at the Hennepin Theater Districts website and they don't even mention the concert. Am I looking somewhere entirely wrong??
And yes, I definetly would also be very interested in the password.... - hope to see you guys in the Twin Cities

Usually the presale is specified once you select the event e. g. American Express Gold Card Member presale or 'Such&Such Fan Club' presale. In these cases you would get the password from the sponsor such as AmEx or from your fan club site where you have to have a user-id to login and see the password. Sometimes it's sent to members via email but not usually. I tried to look at Ticketmaster this morning but the 'ticketing system is down for routine maint'... Even if you have to join something you've still got two weeks and it would be worth it to get choice seats. Good luck.

p.s. it could be one more thing which is a membership in the theatre itself such as 'Friends Of Massey Hall' which many of us here are, members that is.

Go back to the theatre site and look at:

Become a Hennepin Theatre Trust Member

Ticketmaster has the event listed on it's
website.

OK that's it then - go join the 'Trust' and then when the presale comes up they will ask for your member number:

I would love to join the trust, but certainly not for $500.00. Thats the amount you have to spent if you want access to preferred tickets for concerts. The first level only includes Broadway show tickets but no concerts...:-(

Well well, maybe one of the corfid members is a member and is willing to share the password...

Claudia,

That is steep ! The problem is in most cases the 'password' is your member number and the tickets you can purchase are limited in number. And then they mail them to the official member address. But perhaps someone who is a member will not be using their full allowance. Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Ahhh crap, I was hoping it might just be a password you get in an email. That was the case with the Pabst Theater in Milwaukee. You also needed to be a member to have access to the presale. The good thing: Membership was free, you just had to join the email list - was easy enough

I also notice if you stick "presale passwords" into your Google, you'll get a plethora of sites advertising to sell to you for as low as about $4.95 etc.. To the extent this would be reliable, I have no idea.. Ah, the wonders of the free market..

I also would like to purchase pre-sale tickets at a different venue. The concert is at the Tulallip Indian Reservation in Marysville Washington on August 20th and the presale started about an hour ago. Can anyone help. Thanks skijohn@centurytel.net

Just ordered 2 tickets for Sept. 17 (Minneapolis). No password needed. Just normal Ticketmaster routine and usual highway robbery with fees.

Got 2 tickets on main floor, Row W. They must be holding closer seats for later which is unfair. Kept trying to get closer and nothing came up anywhere on the main floor.

Since GL has not been in Minneapolis since May 2002, I would venture the tickets will go fairly quickly. He has always sold well here and there was a short blurb in the Sunday StarTribune a few weeks ago in the Entertainment section announcing the concert. With GL's concert itinerary that week, it doesn't appear there is any chance to add a night so get your tickets now.

Hi Char,

I probably would have started with "Harmony". That is because all the other passwords the Hennepin Theater Trust used lately, had something to do with the short description of the artist they gave on their website. With Gordon, they talked about his latest CD, so I just figured... Next one would have been "wreck", since the Milwaukee Pabst Theater used that and so on.
But I tell you, I was prepared with a whole list, haha. Good thing I didn't need it, otherwise I most likely would still sit here and try...
