it's a bus&truck, and they've got a show in LA the next day.
the only thing going on in the stadium wed,thurs & sat will be dealing with putting up/taking down the stage. UNLESS it's going to be used for something else during SDCC....

I can totally see them putting the crew/band up in LA before the show for the 2 dark days. the crew will be leaving as soon as load out is done- like 2a I assume.

Last time I bought through AmEx presale anyone could get into the buying area, but you could only check out with an AmEx card.  Not sure how this one will work.  I'll keep an eye out for more info.

You can also get pre-sale codes if you pre-order an album or sign up for their mailing lists. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190910/3c8b53ade252f82b13c36789a172ce15.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190910/7b358173e401cca0f9ae54938f7a026b.jpg)

The Hella Mega website notes two pre-sales for US fans. The web store pre-sale begins on Monday, Sept. 16 at 10 a.m. local time for fans who pre-order any of the three upcoming albums. Fall Out Boy’s “Greatest Hits: Believers Never Die - Volume Two” is out first on Nov. 15. Green Day’s “Father of All…” album is set to release Feb. 7, 2020. Weezer’s “Van Weezer” will be out May 1, 2020. All can be pre-ordered through each band’s respective web store to receive a pre-sale code for the Hella Mega Tour.

There is an option for fans who don’t want to pre-order any of the three albums. The mailing list pre-sale begins the same day, just an hour later at 11 a.m. local time. Check out the Hella Mega website for links to all three mailing lists. (It appears fans only need to be on one list to get a code).

Other pre-sales listed on Ticketmaster include ones for American Express cardholders, Green Day fan club members, Sirius XM/Spotify listeners and Ticketmaster Official Platinum users. All of those pre-sales start Sept. 16 at 10 a.m. local time as well. The Live Nation pre-sale doesn’t start until Sept. 19 at 10 a.m. local time while individual venue pre-sales will vary.

Hella Mega tour tickets go on sale to the general public on Friday, Sept. 20 at 10 a.m. local time.

I would love to go, but Friday night is usually packed for me. Also, the thought of dealing with the cluster that is Ticketmaster makes me queasy. One of the last times I tried to buy tickets, it was very frustrating, and I only ended up with mediocre, but expensive seats. Another time, we struck out, but more tickets in the balcony mysteriously went up the next day, so I got to go.

I hate Ticketmaster...

Seeing Green Day and FOB would be epic (I wonder if FOB will do their What's This cover-I absolutely love that)

I enjoy that type of music- //don'tJudge - plus seeing the show sounds like fun. i haven't been to a large show in years-I am too much a technician to  go to shows just for the music. LOL i want big productions so i can try and figure out how they do stuff.

from what i understand, as long as u pay with an amex card you're ok. maybe there's a number u can call or a faq ?

hey [member=364]Angology[/member] have u ever tried ticketmaster with the amex early entry? I've never tried ticketmaster so i'm clueless- im use to being frustrated trying to get mondo/bottleneck prints so... I guess i'm just wondering if i should set myself up for a bad experience? LOL

According to Ticketmaster's help "If you have an eligible American Express card the code for preferred tickets is the 10 digit customer service phone number on the back of your card. You must use an eligible American Express card for purchase.
American Express Presales do not require a code, but do require you complete the purchase with an American Express credit card.
American Express Gift Cards and American Express Prepaid cards are not eligible for American Express Presale tickets or American Express Preferred tickets."

If a code is needed, there will be a box to enter it. Just an fyi sometimes they aren't the best seats available and so you want to weigh whether you want to get them if they have them or risk waiting. For the last 2 FOB shows, I had the presale option but ended up waiting and got much better seats. It's hard to tell how this show is going to sell though so I figured I'd play it by ear come buying time.

Ticketbastard is clunky and their fees outrageous so I'm not looking forward to the buying, BUT I'm willing to deal with the hassle to see the show.  :D

I don't think the promoters have any idea of comic con when they schedule these things. (Seems like every year there is a concert in  Los Angeles at the same time as sdcc that I want to go to.)
Ticket prices aren't listed yet but the expected demand will determine them, plus the ridiculous fees on top of that. I'm really curious to see how popular it will be.
For many fans, they will have no idea that it's at the same time as sdcc and that room availability and accessibility to the venue will be an issue.
I recall seeing a fair amount of fuss one year when a concert was scheduled somewhere in San Diego and many concert goers had no idea how difficult it was to navigate anything in the city at the same time as the con. I don't remember exactly who and where it was though.

i'm sure the venue knows that date is in the middle of sdcc. .... and they adjusted their rates for the rental upward ;)

That's the thing though.  If there was something planned their for SDCC, I don't think they could have booked that space at that time.  This year, other than Impractical Jokers and that Watchman thing, there wasn't anything at Petco Park that I can remember.  Both of those things could have easily been done anywhere else.  In fact, there were two Watchman activations.  The other one was done in a small parking lot.  Petco Park this year was empty during comic-con.  The fact that they booked this concert during the next comic-con, says to me that it was going to be empty next year too.  This doesn't portend well for the number of offsites there will be next year.

i agree with your assessment that petco likely would have remained dark during sdcc in 2020 after all it's an awkward venue to use, but I also think the concert is a way to increase the traffic in the downtown area while also not decreasing the traffic inside the convention center. the concert brings a lot of folks into petco at night when the con is closed & it doesn't pull focus from the convention during the day therefore the show floor & panels will still get the footfall traffic they need.
In addition, some of the folks attending the concert will come in early and be exposed to the con culture around the convention center & who knows they may actually like the wackyness that is pop culture con life  ;)

I wonder how they are going to handle the parking for this event since most of Petco parking is taken up by either offsites or SDCC parking?
I guess everyone could come in via trolley, but is that realistic given the numbers?

will the cci buses be opened up to non badge wearing attendees? will petco have their own transportation from another spot? etc all... it will be interesting to see what inventive solutions are put in place

My guess this also means that the Petco Interactive Zone won't be there next year either.  Which is not a reach since this year it was not at it's best.  I think they peaked out last year with the live performers and movies at night.  This year, it was..... off.

Those things that have been in the Petco Interactive Zone haven't always been there. Years ago, they were in the parking lot that Amazon has used for the last couple of years.

I hope so but I don't think so.  This isn't an offsite.  There's nothing comic-con about it.  It's just a concert that happens to be in San Diego at the same time as comic-con.  Events like that happen all the time.  Not everything that happens in San Diego during comic-con has to do with comic-con.  Now if it was MTV Fanfest making a return featuring Green Day/Fall Out Boy/Weezer, then that would be another thing altogether.  The fact that prime real estate where a lot of offsites have been in the past is free during comic-con, I think says that there won't be as many offsites next year.  This continues the trend of the last couple of years.

They should.  Making a movie or a TV show is not a spur of a moment decision.  Many properties are in production for years before they start filming.  Then it's about another year before it's ready to show.  Sometimes even more than a year.  So they should already know what they want to promote next year.  Also making an offsite takes time too.  I would think anyone that is planning for an offsite next year already has it well under way and they would have booked the space for it already.

The offsites are typically used for new shows. The streaming companies may know what they have to promote given that they funded the thing the,selves but they first have to see if it’s even worth promoting. Same with the movies. Why spend  million dollars on an offsite if you know the movie is a dud?

The traditional media companies don’t even know what new series they’ll invest in until spring. I remember so many promising pilots (Locke and Key is one).  that suddenly weren’t picked up in April

I don't think that's true.  The offsites are used to promote shows, whether new or old.  For example, there have been offsites for GOT, Westworld, Mr. Robot, Stranger Things, The Expanse, The Good Place, Brooklyn and The Walking Dead well after the shows were no longer new.  Yes, they do promote new shows too, Carinival Row this year for example.  But overall, I think there are more offsites for existing shows than for new shows.  The one distinction is offsites tend to happen for big shows or shows they hope will be big.  There's simply no reason to promote a smaller show that doesn't make a lot of money.  If it's a big show, then the marketing budget will also be big.  That marketing campaign is planned well in advance.  It's a big part of the budget.  An appearance at SDCC or an offsite is part of that marketing campaign.

Absolute cheapest is $25, most upper deck 300s is $35. 200's are $75, then they go gradually go up to about $175 for lower sections/floor and super high for close ones. All before fees. I almost got some $35 ones but after fees they came out to $60 each so I passed.

I'm in after all.
After fussing about the price of floor seats, I made the mistake of telling two friends (who I thought would also say they were too much but didn't) so I caved.
They still had good seats available hours after the presale started so now tickets are purchased & date put in calendar.
I figured I would have paid that for 3 shows anyway so I feel less guilty.

are you guys on the floor [member=307]newbie12[/member] ?
I can't imagine standing up after a day at con ...but... i'm likely going to change up my con again next year so i may not be attending the early morning floor rush.
who knows maybe i won't be lucky enough to get tix this year & just come in for this show

Yep, we're on the floor. Even though my old bones (& joints) yell at me the next day, I can't sit through a concert (unless forced or its classical  ;D)
Since I want to stand and I don't want to be standing in front of someone who stays seated, I'll only go if I get floor or pit tickets

I've gone to concerts during the con before and it wasn't too bad, I just had to keep moving because if I stopped and relaxed, I wouldn't be able to get going again. It sucks to get old.

I had hesitated trying for San Diego because who knows what will happen with tickets/hotels for sdcc but figured I'd work it out either way. Can't wait for the show though, it should be great!

I wonder how they are going to handle the parking for this event since most of Petco parking is taken up by either offsites or SDCC parking?
I guess everyone could come in via trolley, but is that realistic given the numbers?
Yeah, IMO this is going to be the trickiest: there are other lots Petco typically uses that aren't in use for SDCCI but if they're on hold for ticket-buyers that puts a strain on parking for Comic-Con.  Also, parking will be on the pricier side.  I went to the Petco Park Paul McCartney concert in June and it was around $45 to park (which is close to Comic-Con parking for the same lot, the tailgate lot a few blocks over).  For concert-goers unaware of parking issues during Comic-Con, this could be a very not-fun experience for them

I haven't seen either Green Day or Weezer since, like, 1994 or 1995 (Green Day 1994, Weezer 1995).  I first saw Green Day open for Bad Religion while promoting Kerplunk! and then several times on the Dookie tour.  Weezer I saw twice on the Blue Album tour, one of those in a club that holds, like, maybe 500.  My memories of both of those bands are so shaped around a fairly intimate club environment (I literally hung out with Green Day in Cincinnati before a club show, and then again after the show) I think it would be too weird for me to see either one of them nowadays.  Also, Friday evenings are bad for those of us who plan on doing Hall H Saturday.

But, in my experience over the years, seeing bands during Comic-Con is a blast!  Have fun to those going to the show, and may your concert-going experience not be too crazy because of the Comic-Con mash-up!

I considered this one but ultimately decided against it due to the time. 5:30 is kind of early, and there has been so much good programming later in the day the last couple of years I’d hate to miss out.

If you went later in the show you'd only be missing the warm up bands.

Nah they have to go as a different band.  It's just like how you don't wear the shirt of the band to the show.

Thank you FoCC. Got my tickets. This will definitely be sold out as soon as it is more well known. There are three of us going and each one of us really likes one of the groups. Perfect!!

Green Day has always been fun live.  I saw them a ton on the Kerplunk and Dookie tours, and they used to have a segment where they'd just screw around during a song (maybe during 'Paper Lanterns?'): they'd cover other segments of songs and get the crowd all amped up.  One time I saw them on my 18th birthday, in their very first huge headlining gig: is was a Cleveland 'back to school' all-day concert with Green Day headlining & tickets were literally $10 _WITH_ the service charge (for general admission in the back lawn, at least).  My friends and I snuck up to the front mosh pit section, and during that mess-around segment I yelled "it's my birthday!" and Billy Joe asked me to prove it.  After I showed him my driver's license (and after he spouted my addresses, encouraging the crowd to leave the show now and steal all my stuff  :P ) they played/sang "happy birthday' similar to what The Ramones did on The Simpsons (which had aired less than a year previous).  Then Tre Cool handed me a cymbal.
And then they played a disco riff and another rando got on stage and break danced so I was upstaged quickly.

I've had so much fun at Green Day shows in the early 1990's; I'm sure this show will be a blast - have fun!

We just bought our tickets for this. It'll be interesting to see if there are any panels we HAVE to see at the same time as the concert starts.

Well the concert is late enough. probably won't affect any major panels. That is if the entire event doesn't get canceled.

There's been an ongoing issue with so many canceled events, and if an event is "postponed" instead of canceled, people have not been getting refunds.

Sounds like Ticketmaster/Live Nation are trying to address the issue (Live Nation owns Ticketmaster):

"According to Live Nation’s plan, which starts May 1, people can obtain refunds for canceled or rescheduled shows. Like another plan instituted this week by AEG Presents, Live Nation’s biggest corporate rival, refunds for postponed shows will be available for 30 days once new dates have been set. For events that already have new dates, customers’ 30-day refund window will start May 1.

Live Nation has also offered incentives for its customers to hold on to their tickets — and therefore let the company to hold on to revenue. For canceled shows, Live Nation is offering its customers credits worth 150 percent of their tickets’ value to use on future events."

What an awful policy: MLB has done similar.  Without even a hint of when a makeup date could be, it seems shameful that in a pandemic with Depression-era unemployment these companies are screwing with their customers by not refunding.

So, that is exactly what it has said for my postponed BTS concert for the last 2 months. Until today, when I got an email saying I could choose to refund now, which would take up to 30 days. Yay! I'm sure every concert is different but maybe log into your TM accounts and see if the option to refund has appeared in your event.

Because they're Ticketmaster and can't do anything decent unless it's in the most obnoxious way possible, they also said this is the ONLY time I can request a refund. If I don't do it now, I will not be able to request a refund when the new dates are announced.

@Devorah (https://www.friendsofcc.com/forum/index.php?action=profile;u=283) what was the date of the BTS concert?

No option yet to refund in the app, and I clicked through to Live Chat and a message popped up that they are still trying to reschedule.  So we wait.

If worse comes to worse, I would set a reminder for yourselves for 120 days from when they announced the postponement.  Set it a few days early.  Contact your credit card issuer to confirm, but I think with Visa and MC you should have 120 days from when they announced the postponement to dispute the charge.

The new date has been announced --- Sunday, July 18th, 2021.  SDCC 2021 begins on July 22nd.

Tickets will be honored for the new show date, or you can request a refund through your Ticketmaster account.  I did the refund process today, I imagine it will take a few days to see a refund.

Refunds must be requested by July 31, 2020.
