The deal is that the tickets are only for venues owned by LiveNation that have GA seating. So that limits them to 440 venues across the country.

Here’s their venues: [Biz at LN - Live Nation Entertainment](http://www.livenationentertainment.com/map/venues)

Here’s a place to sign up for further notices of new concerts: [https://secure.gcginc.com/tkm/SubscriptionSignup.aspx](https://secure.gcginc.com/tkm/SubscriptionSignup.aspx)

I am hoping there’s some House of Blues shows that open up in Cleveland this winter.

But yeah…ticketmaster has really good lawyers.

I was able to get my free ticket codes, so I followed the link to the available concerts and picked one of the shows listed.

I went all the way through the purchase process, inputting my voucher code as instructed and got an error message. Something like “We can’t process your request. Please try again later”. So I tried later…and tried again…several times without any luck. I even tried using different voucher code and a different browser…again, no luck. I guess maybe the free ticket quota might be used up, but in that case they shouldn’t have the show listed!

If that is the complete list of venues that will have the eligible events, I am SOL. The two nearest cities don’t have venues. The nearest amphitheater is 180 miles away and is a HUGE venue which I no longer have any interest in attending (I am no longer 25). Two thumbs-down for Ticketmaster. 10 free tickets = nothing for me. :mad:
