speedbliss 250 Posted January 14, 2014 Share Posted January 14, 2014 I've sold LMZ on ebay to a couple for Miami and another couple for New Orleans. They had no problems getting in with my name on the tickets. I've bought LMZ from ebay for a show in NC and all I said was my friend bought them and they could give a crap less. They just went to the organizer of the VIP (Gaga's team) and they approved it. I really don't think you should stress. You will be fine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
lavenderblondee 3,695 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 They just told me to bring a copy of said persons ID/CC which is totally silly, but whatever works. TM sent my tickets to the wrong address, and they got sent back, so now my tickets are will call. Hopefully nothing goes wrong, there. I hate not having them til I get there.

That does suck because Will Call can be a problem. They may actually want to see the CC. That's TM fault tho if they sent to the wrong address. As annoying as it is, I'd call the arena sooner than later to explain the situation. Good luck to you!!! When I ordered my tickets I took a gamble. I never once entered the right name on the billing address the card was under, even tho I had permission to use the card. I used my name even tho my name is nowhere on that card. Shockingly, it worked. The only name associated with my tickets is mine even tho I used my parents card. Lol. I don't know how that worked but it did.

KPD 0 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I've sold LMZ on ebay to a couple for Miami and another couple for New Orleans.

They just went to the organizer of the VIP (Gaga's team) and they approved it. I really don't think you should stress. You will be fine. Interesting. Thanks for posting this. Has anyone else ever had to sell LMZ ticket on stub hub, etc.. or to a friend directly? It really seems like the rules vary from venue to venue. I've purchased tickets from stub hub for many shows and have never once had a problem. I'm guessing that the VIP packages are a little iffy because there is a specific VIP list that people are checking off as you get into the venue (at least that's how I'm understanding what I've read elsewhere in this thread. Am I right?). There is a *slight* possibility that I'll have to give up my LMZ tickets for my June show. I'm devastated but want to make sure I get some of my money back at least. It sounds like there is a direct Ticketmaster VIP phone line? Would it make sense to call them and just get my options? If I call Ticketmaster and ask for the VIP line, will they put me through? Just trying to start thinking about what I'm going to do. :( Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preston 10 Posted January 16, 2014 Share Posted January 16, 2014 I entered the billing address of the card and her card number but I put MY name on everything...just to see. And it worked. I'm surprised that it worked with the bank because her name would be linked to the account and not yours. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Future Lover 2,588 Posted January 17, 2014 Share Posted January 17, 2014 I really hope I don't have to go through a large hassle to change the name on my ticket from my dad's. We share the SAME exact name, except on his ID it says "Sr." and on mine "Jr." I just wish my arena would print the ticket, mail it to me, check in ID, and be done with it. Why do they need to see the credit card we used? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they need to see the credit card we used? They don't need the credit card for check-in. Then person who's name is on the card that paid has to be present; since that will be the name on the check-in list. They get the names from the credit card used.

That J 12,166 Posted January 17, 2014 Author Share Posted January 17, 2014 I'm surprised that it worked with the bank because her name would be linked to the account and not yours. It's strange how it went thru. I've had to use the card for her before as she has health issues but still it's odd that it worked that way. I'm on her bank account but I it's still odd. Regardless, it worked so I'm not AS worried. I have another set of tickets. (dallas section 107 row H) that I'd like to sell (it's easier to pay back the cost of my LMZ tickets that way)...but I'm tempted to keep them as a just in case lol. I swear I never have issues except for Gaga shows ;) The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
coreysmith 0 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 Wow I'm glad you posted this topic or else I would have shown up to artRave with no way to get in... :eek: I just called the Ticketmaster VIP people, and yeah I told them that the ticket has my mom's name on it because we paid with her card. Basically, he added my name onto the list, and I have to bring my ID, and a photocopy of my mom's credit card and ID to verify that I can actually get in. Oh and also while we're talking about LMZ, is it necessary to wait outside all day if you have LMZ passes? I want the best spot I can possibly get and I'm willing to wait outside all day if that's what needs to happen. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all so tricky and I'm taking a huge chance with how I did it but I'm taking it! Lol. All venues are different but since you called and worked it out, you will be fine my friend. Enjoy your RAVE!!! With LMZ tickets, there's no real need to camp out or be there way early unless you wanna be THE first person in whatever line will eventually happen. LMZ package is so great because you get early entry. You will skip whatever line is there and get in before people with basic GA tickets. Now, there may be a line of people that have LMZ tickets but you are basically, from what I've gathered, guaranteed the first three "rows" of the floor so you'll be right there up front with no worries. Also you will receive an email a week or more before the show with instructions of what time you should be there and where your entrance will be. You will bypass the line and go into a special line with LMZ ticket holders. I plan on being there about an hour or 2 before the time they tell me just to be safe. ;). Hope that helps. And again ENJOY UR RAVE. ;) The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen people say they're going to get at venues starting at 8am even with LMZ but it's highly unnecessary. I got in line an hour later than I was supposed to with LMZ and I was still front row. No need to wait in line all day. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
That J 12,166 Posted January 22, 2014 Author Share Posted January 22, 2014 ^^ That is pretty much exactly why I got LMZ....it guarantees the floor and there's no way I can camp out or wait all day with work and traveling 3 hours from Oklahoma City to Dallas...and the fact that I'm not in my 20's anymore and don't feel like camping lol. Plus in the grand scheme, the prices were a killer deal, ya get in early, a gift bag...I just couldn't pass that up.

speedbliss 250 Posted January 22, 2014 Share Posted January 22, 2014 Back in 2010 and 2011 I could get front row by showing up at 2 or 3 with LMZ- however i think I might scout the place out the night before and may possibly camp. Just because I want to be so close that I see Gaga boogers. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiMiMonsterx3 16 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 I have LMZ for Madison Square Garden & used my mom's credit card to purchase my tickets & I gave her the cash. She'll probably show up just to get me in since I got her tickets to see Wicked on Broadway the same night of Gaga's show, so she'll be in the city as well! Might not hurt to get my name put on the list though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
drinkmytears 2,332 Posted January 23, 2014 Share Posted January 23, 2014 Maybe it's different arena to arena, but anyone going VIP at Rogers Arena in Vancouver... Watch out, they're nazis. That's not true, I got into Beyoncé just fine. My ticket was a $1,200 VIP package and all I had to do was email them about a name change. You're stressing too much.
