Somebody from the Melencamp community please back me up on this one! I participated in the presale yesterday for the Savannah, GA show and followed the rules just like everyone else. I selected $125 seating and 4 tickets. I was lucky and got four second row seats to the show. Today, I got this mesage from the ticket sellers website:

Dear John Mellencamp Fans:

Thank you for participating in the presale for the
John Mellencamp performance at Savannah Civic
Center’s Johnny Mercer Theatre on November 11th.

Regrettably, the system allowed you to purchase
tickets in the VIP seating area without being
charged the VIP price of $250 per ticket plus
convenience fees. We have two available options to
correct this error:

We can relocate you to the best possible seating
for the price you have paid, no further back than
Row K in the Orchestra sections. We will make
every attempt to select seats that are similar to
your original selection (on an aisle, on a
particular side of the venue, etc.)

If you would like to pay the difference in price
to keep your original seating, please reply to
this email and confirm that you have agreed to
being charged an additional $125 per ticket on the
credit card used at the original time of purchase.


We must receive your decision by no later than
Tuesday, August 9th at 5pm. If you have not
expressly agreed to paying the difference in price
by this time, your seats will be relocated.


Please accept our sincerest apologies for any and
all inconvenience.


Thank You,
eTix Customer Support [/i] [/i]




What a joke! I can't believe Mellencamp fans are getting pushed around like this. Please advise!
