Hola!
My favorite band Depeche Mode is touring this fall and they are trying out a new approach to fan presale tickets. If by some fluke of luck I can get to the front of the line for the fan presale I will get to meet the band when they play in my city. I am currently in 23rd place and I would love to move up to the front of the line!
If anyone would like to help out I would greatly appreciate it. By signing up with my link to register for the presale (you don't have to purchase tickets) you will help me move up in line and also get access to the presale for your city if you want to see them. It only takes a few minutes and it is really simple- click the link, fill out the basic info and then click the link in the confirmation email.

Omg my anxiety is crazy, I'm FOUR!!!!! F5 f5 f5 all day.
Denver. We're going to SLC and PDX as well.
I got as high as 6 and now i keep bouncing from 29 to 31. So frustrating. But it beats my place for LA- 10605! Thankfully I can do the Amex presale for LA and get decent seats. I hate the Hollywood Bowl because tickets are always $$$ and they have the weird box seats.
My friend S has essentially hacked the system and bought enough copies of the album to be first in line for any US city he picks. He keeps bouncing back and forth between LA, LV, and SD. I hate him! He has met the band and he is one of those people who got hooked up with a nice cushy job at the family business so he can afford to fly to every show and pay $$$$$ for front row every time.
I'm planning on waiting until like 10 minutes before it closes then buying like 5 albums. Haha. I'm a software engineer so I geek out over this stuff. I want to meet them!!! I wish there was a sassy to know how much ahead the people in front of you are. Like I don't want to spend any more money if the guy in front bought 35 albums ya know?
Also it says "If you make it to the front of the line", so I'm like how are they defining front???

So excited!
What kills me is that all my friends who are close to the front of the line have already met the band. One of them was even dating Martin's PA and has a kid with him! She has even been to Mart's house in SB and had dinner with him and the rest of the band. Give someone else a chance to meet the guys
The front of the line is #1 in your selected city. I wish I could buy a few albums but my piggy bank is empty. I'll buy the deluxe cd tomorrow to see if it boosts me up.

What? That is kind of crazy if they've already met them and have "access", if you will. They are just throwing down money on albums?
I am 4 for Denver, 7 for SLC and 2 for Portland! Also I just remembered something I have had to do in my dev work - you can add a +1 (2,3,4 etc) to the end of your email address and it goes to the original. So if your email is myemail@em.com you can do myemail+1@em.com and it treats it as a new address. So I just did this and it added to my referrals. Eeeeek! Totally cheating but I am desperate now!
Oh I only ever went in there for a min, I'm 1 for Denver;)
So what is your final spot? They finally figured out people were gaming the system and my spot had bounced all over the place today.
I'm so over this. I feel like we are the alpha testers for this nonsense. I was at 1 for Denver until like 15 mins before it ended. Then I was at 2. Bought more cds at 10 till. I was 1 again briefly then bumped to 2 like minutes before end. Hopped back over to Portland, I was 1 until the last second. So pissed. Right now it says 3. I still don't know when my time to buy tickets is and ill be so pissed if I don't get good seats after that shitshow.
People were hiring workers in Asia to pump in email addresses by the thousands lol. Never again.

Someone bought 500 copies of the a album to get #1 for one of the cities. Insane!!! I'm currently sitting at 52 for San Diego. I'm gonna get crap seats because I need 4. Did you see that some cities have VIP again. I've seen prices at $650 for them. Ugh!!
Come to London for the show, there are still tickets available and the prices didn't look bad
I did vote for you, alleinesein . Sorry it didn't work out, sounds like a crazy system.Save
I'd love to see them again in London but sadly I don't have the funds. Saw them twice in London back in 2010 at Royal Albert Hall and the O2. The RAH show was a charity event and it was the best DM concert I have been to. There was a group of us from the US that came over and we met up with fans from all over the world.

escrow How did you do? I managed to snag 6th row for San Diego in the presale and I didn't have to pay the insane VIP prices. The LA presale was a total mess so I am keeping my fingers crossed that I can get something halfway decent in the Amex presale tomorrow.
