What is the Ticketmaster password for "season ticket holders" or
"advance sale" to the 11/4 show of Simon & Garfunkel in San Jose,
California?

Most pre-sale passwords will be posted the morning of the authorized
sale. Obviously, since the tour dates have not yet been authorized to
release ticket sales, no one knows what the passwords will be.

I can, however, tell you where the pre-sale passwords will be posted
first if you will accept that information as an answer.

It would be acceptable to find out where the passwords will be posted.
 Does this mean I will also be able to see the actual passwords?  Or
will you be giving me a general site name that I won't have access to.

Thanks!

I can tell you exactly where to check each morning for the passwords.
They are to be posted at a specific location as soon as they become
available for authorized season ticket holder pre-sales.

Dear jwae-ga;

Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting
question. As you requested, in lieu of telling you the actual season
ticket holder passwords (which no one knows, by the way), I will tell
you where to watch for the passwords when they do come out, per your
alternate instructions.

“Pre-sale tickets will be available for visitors to
simonandgarfunkel.com for most concert dates. A selection of tickets
will be set aside by the venue box offices and sold in advance of the
general “on sale” dates. Pre-sale passwords will be posted here. Each
concert venue's box office may have arranged several pre-sales, each
with a separate equally-good ticket allocation. Each box office enters
information about their pre-sales into the Ticketmaster system as they
are arranged, and you may not see a listing of a simonandgarfunkel.com
pre-sale until the morning of the sale. simonandgarfunkel.com only
lists the pre-sales that we have arranged and doesn't have information
about other pre-sales and passwords.”

(WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE YOU WILL SEE THE PASSWORDS POSTED ON THIS
WEB SITE)


You will notice on this page that there are dates beside each venue.
Most of these dates are active links.

Once you see your pre-sale password posted on the SIMON AND GARFUNKEL
site I mentioned above, click on SAN JOSE for show date of 11/4 :
http://www.ticketmaster.com/artist/885304/

Scroll down to “Tue, 11/04/03” and click the link that says FIND
TICKETS:
http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/1C00372CF0C289B7?brand=&artistid=885304&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=1

Notice on the right (for the moment at least) it says:

INTERNET ONSALE INFO
Onsale to General Public:
Mon, 09/29/03, 10:00am

INTERNET PRESALE INFO
Season ticketholder:
Start: Wed, 09/24/03, 10:00am
End: Thu, 09/25/03, 5:00pm

ADVANCE SALE:
Start: Fri, 09/26/03, 10:00am
End: Sun, 09/28/03, 5:00pm

These are the dates and times you should be most diligent about
checking the site here for the passwords:

Best of luck. This will definitely be one to remember. You don’t know
how much I wish I were able to go to the concert with you.

I hope you find that that my research exceeds your expectations. If
you have any questions about my research please post a clarification
request prior to rating the answer. I welcome your rating and your
final comments and I look forward to working with you again in the
near future. Thank you for bringing your question to us.

Best regards;

I had actually found information for the S&G fanclub site already.  My
question was specifically to find out if anybody had posted the
"season ticket holders" password or the "advance sale" password. 
These passwords allow users to purchase tickets starting today.  Do
you have any leads on this?

Thanks.

Dear jwae-ga:

As I mentioned the passwords for presale tickets will be announced on
the Simon & Garfunkel site at the designated time in which they are
OFFICIALLY AUTHORIZED to be published to the public.

This is confirmed by a number of sources including this one:

“For most dates, a limited number of tickets will be available in
advance of the general on-sale via an Internet pre-sale. The password
required to access the pre-sale will be posted at the tour's official
website, according to an announcement posted at the site.”
LIVE DAILY
http://www.livedaily.com/news/5472.html

Having said that, this is the only LEGITIMATE way to get the passwords
needed to access the presale sources. In the end, since policy
prohibits us from doing otherwise, I can only instruct you on how to
obtain presale tickets legitimately, and the promoters and vendors
intended and answer the question in a manner in which you agreed to
accept.

As for your original question, I have no way of knowing what you have
already found of course since you never mentioned that in your
question or subsequent clarification.  You mentioned in your RFC that:
“My question was specifically to find out if anybody had posted the
"season ticket holders" password or the "advance sale" password.”

To the contrary; your specific question was: “What is the Ticketmaster
password for "season ticket holders" or "advance sale" to the 11/4
show of Simon & Garfunkel in San Jose, California?”

As per your follow up clarification: “It would be acceptable to find
out where the passwords will be posted.” I merely supplied the
accurate answer that you agreed to accept in your response to my
request for clarification.

The LEGITIMATE presale passwords will indeed be posted here on the
official site when the authorization to publish them to the public is
given:

SIMON AND GARFUNKEL OLD FRIENDS IN CONCERT 
http://www.simonandgarfunkel.com/live.html

From what I have seen, there have been some unauthorized releases of
certain passwords for other venues but I found nothing for San Jose.
Even so, I am sorry, but I hope you understand that it is not possible
for us to circumvent the promoters’ rules to supply you with
information that has not been published publicly. This is the reason
why my clarification specifically stated that I can “tell you exactly
where to check each morning for the passwords”, which you agreed to,
and I did.
