As a side note, last time we posted pre-sale info, a few folks wrote in suggesting that we shouldn't announce this on TW. But here's our thinking on posting pre-sale info. Fan pre-sales have become somewhat of a joke. Every ticket scalper in the country has this info way in advance of the average fan.
By now, many have read the Live Nation email with presale details, so we're not revealing any secret here at TW.
And the ticket brokers will be out in full force with their automated buying programs scooping up the tickets while we try and decipher those squiggly CAPTCHAs.
So we're just try to give Neil fans a heads up on this. The more legitimate Neil fans snagging tix means the fewer go on the market via scalpers. Which we think is a good thing.
Here's where we discussed all of this awhile back. Because we have all been there before.
Don't Be Denied!
UPDATE: Presale for Neil Young's Canadian Dates
The password for the Patriot Center show is not 'amplify'
ReplyDeletewhat is the password ? i signed up to neilyoung.com and got passwords for previous tours but not this one. is Toronto on presale today ?
ReplyDelete@Jonathan - you'd better let Live Nation know, they're apparently giving out incorrect information on their Facebook page:
ReplyDeleteGordy Ferguson

ReplyDeleteThe e-mail I received from Live Nation/Ticketbastard said the Patriot Center password is FOLKROCK
ReplyDeleteDoes anyone know if the GA tickets are the expensive ones?
ReplyDeleteGoing2theshow.com also has FOLKROCK for Fairfax, and "crazy" for Boston.
ReplyDeletehi - and what is the presage password for Philly? I didn't see the Live Nation email! thanks.
ReplyDeleteThis business of the presale passwords is pretty annoying, aside from the whole getting on at 10 AM and finding not much. Through what affiliation is the password disseminated? You would think through this blog, or through the Rust List, or maybe through Neil Young's site if one bought stuff through there. I have a ticketmaster account and it doesn't come through there, at least not yet, though I seem to get presale notifications for everything else.
ReplyDelete- Pittsburgh?
ReplyDeleteWell I do hope people start listing the presales for the shows that go onsale today SOON. I'm looking for Philly & CT.
ReplyDeleteThanks!
TM says pre-sale for Madison Square Garden starts tomorrow, not today. Is that right?
ReplyDeleteany CT presale help would be greatly appreciated!
ReplyDeleteplease post passcode for Pittsburgh
ReplyDeleteCRAZY worked for CT
ReplyDeleteHey hey my my I'd like the PITT passcode also
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeletepassword for Boston is indeed 'CRAZY'
ReplyDeletewhat's the layout though?
Endstage or Endstage with General Admission Floor?
the $72 tickets are for general admission.
The Loner says "crazy" - but i am going to see the MAN again in Bridgeport CT
ReplyDeletecode for Boston is "crazy" <> as the live nation presale email indicated.
ReplyDeleteWay to stick it to the fans LiveNation!!!
Fairfax mystery solved - AMERICANA works for radio presale, AMPLIFY for Live Nation presale, FOLKROCK for venue presale.
ReplyDeletehelp what's CT presale passwrod???!!
ReplyDeletesorry - i messed up the <-< formatting:
ReplyDeletePassword for Boston is "crazy"
Password IS NOT "amplify" as the Live Nation presale email stated.
LiveNation presale password is amplify, this works for Pitt and Cleveland for sure and I would assume any other Neil LiveNation presale today.
ReplyDeleteAll set for Philly!
ReplyDeleteThe Loner says:
ReplyDeletefor all CT NY lovers:
crazy is the presale word of the day
I guessed Crazy for BPT CT after trying amplify at 10:01. Got my GA floor ticket! Woo hoo. It also worked for Boston. Friend got a pair. Ticketmaster and live nation can SUCK IT!!!!
ReplyDeletePITT says 'standing room only' !! I'm OLD!
ReplyDeleteAny news for Montreal Presale? Where should i go to get it?
ReplyDeleteDanger Bird
GOT MINE for Fairfax!
ReplyDeletePeace,
UnionMan
Does anyone know what the presale password is for the Chicago show at the United Center? Presale starts tomorrow 6/8. Thanks!
ReplyDeletepitt is not sro. use amplify in live nation presale. plenty of seats old man
ReplyDeleteGot my Bridgeport tickets... I guessed Crazy too, after I tried Amplify.
ReplyDeleteTHE HORSE!!!!!!!
Old in and the way... gave up on the presale.
ReplyDeleteTickets secured for Fairfax! Didn't go for floor tx - ended up paying more for seats - $300 for a pair... yikes! Probably wouldn't have minded as much had I not just seen Radiohead, AND just bought tickets for Wilco last night, AND still need to buy My Morning Jacket tickets! I think I have a problem...
ReplyDeleteI'm in at Boston! My e-mail had "amplify" for the password, but I found "crazy" here and it worked.
ReplyDeleteoneofeleventhousand
Hoping "CRAZY" works for tomorrow morning! I'm also a HUGE Patti Smith fan and this is my DREAM show!!
ReplyDeleteThey added a Live Nation presale to Boston. amplify worked for password. crazy still works for the pther presale there.
ReplyDeleteneed tickets for toronto show and london show, no emails from livenation with pre-sale info, talked to livenation customer service and they offered no help!! Anyone have any info??
ReplyDeletehello there. does anybodyknow the password for the madison square garden presale? i believe it starts friday 10am EDT. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteBeauty. What is the presale password for the Hollywood Bowl show on the 17th October?
ReplyDeleteStringy
from an interview apparently Neil did today:
ReplyDelete(whole thing here: http://www.gmanetwork.com/news/story/260949/showbiz/showbizabroad/a-minute-with-neil-young-on-his-new-album-film)
Q: Are you and Crazy Horse going on tour for "Americana"?
A: "Yes. There's going to be a string of shows, starting on August 10, in San Francisco's Golden Gate Park. That'll go for just a couple of weeks. We'll also be playing in New Mexico and Colorado. I still love touring, and I'm really looking forward to doing the shows with Crazy Horse."
- my read is that the 'Americana' tour might be the 'short' tour he's talking about and therefore the rest of this tour might be something else ... 'ie' past, present and future tour ... on that note wondering what the difference between present and future is
pittsburgh pw is 'amplify'
ReplyDeleteclevleand pw is 'WKSU'
Amplify worked for Bridgeport CT
ReplyDeletesoooo excited to see Neil again! anyone know the pre-sale for saskatoon???? thanks
ReplyDeleteThe last time Neil played Cleveland was with Crazy Horse for Greendale at CSU (Wolstein). Had awesome seats on Neil's side of the stage. Second half of the show was the best Horse I have experienced. They lingered in intense applause with huge smiles forever. Thanks to this sight I secured the almost exact same seats along with a 40 year old man that has NEVER been to a concert.I can't wait to watch him watch the horse!$120 a ticket, priceless!
ReplyDeleteI got section 104 Row H for the Cleveland show. Are these good seats??
ReplyDeleteSeattle password help?
ReplyDeleteCleveland show is on sale now through the wolstein center site. access code is amplify
ReplyDeleteWe can't get on ticketmaster or livenation. What gives?
ReplyDeleteI can't get any access to a presale for the hollywood bowl show. both ticketmaster and live nation say it's tomorrow. help
ReplyDelete104 row h you will be very happy. behind u in row ee
ReplyDeleteJust got the email with the pre-sale code for the 10/17 show at the Hollywood Bowl. Presale code is: Crazy. On sale tomorrow at 10 am. Opening bands are Los Lobos and Infantree (?)
ReplyDeleteThanks to who posted the code word (AMPLIFY)for Cleveland. I was able to get section 124 row AA seats 5 and 6. By the time I got the code word and figured everything out it was 10:45. All things considered I am greatful to have gotten the seats. Geez, could they make it anymore diffacult. A big THANKS to Thrashers Wheat, if not for this site I wouldn't have been able to get them at all. Hope it won't be as hard to get tickets for Kingston Ontario and Toronto. Good luck to all the Neil faithful in getting good seats. And Oh yes, a big thanks to Neil.
ReplyDeleteAny information on the presale passcode for Seattle on Nov 10?
ReplyDeletewww.bendbulletin.com/article/20111111/NEWS0107/111110328/
ReplyDeleteNovember 12....every year.
Only two days after this years Seattle date!
And only $5!
Me and No One are car poolin'!
Peace!
Got tickets to Fairfax but I have to say that was one of the biggest cluster-cusses I have ever experienced buying tickets online. If a new seating/pricing style is being tried out, fine, but they should have been clearer about what the different prices meant beforehand.
ReplyDeleteThanks Thrasher
ReplyDeletefor everything you do here of course
and for providing a place where this password madness can be navigated successfully ...
LiveNation password wasn't going to work, but tried passwords from notes left here until success
because this community exists, this old man & diehard fanboy will see and hear the Horse in its ragged glory at long last
so it's a hockey rink - it used to be worse
thanks again
Any word on Chicago pre-sale password?
ReplyDeleteIt would have been more helpful and fair if this were posted a few days BEFORE or at least the day BEFORE. Tough luck for those of us who saw it after work today. Too late for the pre-sales (except NYC and maybe others on Friday 6/8). And what happened to the Neil Young fan club e-mails of pre-sales that used to be sent? Not this time. It's tough to be a fan.
ReplyDeleteAnyone know the password for Tulsa, OK?
ReplyDeleteInfo? Password for MSG show?
ReplyDeleteWould be most appreciated.
Thanks
I want to echo the sentiments of those who went through the goatfuck of seeing 4 different password options once the ticket window opened yesterday. I mean really Live Nation?
ReplyDelete1) Radio pre-sale password?
2) Venue pre-sale password?
3) Live Nation Mobile App pre-sale password?
4) Live Nation pre-sale password?
Fuck you jerks.
I lost a good five minutes frantically entering every word I'd seen or been GIVEN by Live Nation before finally getting in. Then the tiered pricing that DIDN'T specify which level was GA.
I'm with Doug (tuned4life) in being extremely thankful to simply have gotten tickets - knowing I will be there.
But this was the polar opposite of the Twisted Road ticket purchase experience last spring. I got pit seats on-line with zero hassle.
One more time - fuck you Live Nation/Ticketbastard. Makes me wish Pearl Jam didn't cave in all those years ago...
MSG just released pre sale code...
ReplyDeletehttp://www.thegarden.com/content/msg/the-garden/events/promos/NYCH.html
anyone know if the cheapest ticket for MSG is ten admin in the front like last time? anyone having luck getting those?
ReplyDeleteAnyone score the Chicago United Center presale password for Live Nation yet?
ReplyDeleteThe radio presale password is XRTRADIO. It's on their website along with an entry to win a pair of tickets. Link is on the homepage.
Other passwords I've seen are CRAZY, AMPLIFY, FOLKROCK, FOGHEAD, and LOVE.
Good luck!
I just got GA tix for MSG.. apparently they are GA east which is back half of floor. Which GA section is not listed while you buy tickets, only in confirmation email.
ReplyDeleteGot MSG tickets for my dad and I. First time I saw Neil was with CH at MSG in August 1996. Figured this would be a great (late) Father's Day gift to go back 16 years later!
ReplyDeleteThanks to Tim who posted the MSG presale info. Very appreciative of that!
Yeah, I got stuck in the GA East section of MSG as well. Hopefully there really isn't a barrier between the East and West sections. Sometimes they show areas broken up on the seating chart for GA but it doesn't actually work that way once you get there. I plan on calling MSG at some point to find out.
ReplyDeleteYes, I meant to say thank you to Tim.
ReplyDeleteGreatly appreciated!
I hope you are right about no barrier in middle of MSG. Last time Neil played MSG, it was all open I think..
I was 20ft from Neil.
Thanks! what price point was the GA section ticket? cheapest? Thanks
ReplyDeleteBecause I have ZERO faith in ticketmaster & and since the MSG renovation I have yet to see there not be a barrier..... DID ANYONE GET WEST GA!!!! I don't think they were available to us normal fans, just insiders & scalpers. Anyone???
ReplyDeleteWhat a truly frustrating experience!!!!
ReplyDeleteI paid $115 for GA east at MSG
ReplyDeleteLast time I went to a show at MSG that had GA tickets sold as "west" and "east", there was indeed a barrier in between the two sections.
ReplyDelete"Last time I went to a show at MSG that had GA tickets sold as "west" and "east", there was indeed a barrier in between the two sections."
ReplyDeleteWell that is depressing news indeed.
Floor in Fairfax !!!
ReplyDeleteI scored 4 GA West tickets using the password Tim shared (THANKS TIM!) ... so there was definitely some allotment of GA West tickets available this morning.The price was $115 per.
ReplyDeleteamplify worked for Chicago pre-sale
ReplyDeleteThanks for the info. Are you guys getting GA tickets for MSG by going to the MSG site or the Live nation site or Ticketmaster site. Can you please repeat the password and the site? I'm having a tough time getting anything other than reserved through the iive nation site. Thanks for any help.
ReplyDeleteJust 1 min ago I got GA West MSG tickets via the MSG site. Thanks all for the info and help...
ReplyDeleteWent the My Morning Jacket show last december witch was sold like that West and East Floor and they do indeed install a barrier right in the middle of the arena, i wonder now if that thing is sponsored by scalpers.
ReplyDeleteScrew the fans right?
BTW i could't get a West ticket, only East and had to try quite a few times to get it :(
You're lucky to have gotten those west tickets. 2 of us tried from 4 PCs this morning right at 10am sharp and all we pulled were East. Happy to hear they are the same price as the east. I'll take another shot Sunday. Thanks for the info!
ReplyDeleteSame deal. At just after 10, an "internet connectivity" error occurred and Ticketmaster seemed to lose the GA East tix I'd happily scored.. An hour an a half later having no luck with even Best Available for the past hour and a half, I was a able to buy 2 GA West tix. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteWEST TICKETS ARE POPPING UP NOW FOR MSG. A bunch of us just got them. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, It seems they've opened up the GA west now, earlier it was just GA east.
ReplyDeleteJust got great seats for Tulsa venue, thank you for this site, Thrasher, and today's my birthday!!! Life is good.
ReplyDeleteGot tickets for Chicago! The Live Nation password is AMPLIFY and the radio presale password is XRTRADIO.
ReplyDeleteI tried under both and found the XRT seats to be better.
I'm so grateful for this site and all of the diehard fans! On October 11th 3 generations will be Rockin' section 312. Can't wait!
Just scored two GA Floors for Tulsa!! $61 each. Life is cheap in the midwest. It's a real small hall too. I can breathe now!! Thanks Thrasher for the heads up on the pre-sales!
ReplyDeleteSteven James
What are the Tulsa OK passwords?
ReplyDeleteOne of Seattle's password is KEYARENA
ReplyDeleteWhy do they release the best tickets after 10? So the lazy people get West GA? Thats comforting
ReplyDeleteHEY NEIL TAKE A STAND FOR US FANS ON THIS ONE.FIRST IN LINE FOR TICKETS GETS FRONT ROW!!!!!!! SCREW THIS INTERNET TICKET SALES. LETS GO BACKWARDS ON THIS ONE, KINDA LIKE LISTENING TO OLD RECORDS. TRY TO IMAGINE HOW FEW TICKETS WERE LEFT AT 10:00 THIS MORNING " FOR THE ORDINARY PEOPLE".
ReplyDeleteI got 4 GA West tix for MSG right at 10am, so there were definitely some GA Wests available at the start of the presale.
ReplyDeleteTulsa password: AMPLIFY for live nation pre-sale. We got great seats. Good luck
ReplyDeleteseattle livenation code: KEYARENA
ReplyDeletegot mine, whoo hoo!!!!
password for livenation presale seattle is amplify - I accessed it through through Livenation facebook page
ReplyDeleteMany tickets still available for Boston after the official onsale today. It doesn't seem to be selling that well.
ReplyDeleteAfter trying to fit the presale password into 5 different fields, I finally scored a ticket to see Neil & Crazy Horse at the Hollywood Bowl on 10/17. At $57.10 ($41.00 face price + $11.85 convenience fee + $4.25 processing fee = $57.10) it’s the cheapest ticket available and I’m waaay in the back, but what the hell. At least I’m going. What a hassle.
ReplyDeleteBrings to mind a better time.
Back in July 1993, tickets were announced for Neil & Booker T & the MG’s at the LA Sports Arena for the 9/93 gig. Back then, you could still buy tickets at the venue’s box office by lining up an hour (or 3) before the tickets went on sale. My mates and I were 3rd in line when they went on sale. The woman said that we could have front row center seats, but the rub was that we’d pay for them now, but had to wait for the night of the show to pick them up at the box office and then only with ID for all 4 of us. I asked the box office gal if this was the Sports Arena’s policy and she said no, it’s ‘what Neil Young wants and is his policy to discourage scalping.” Made perfect sense and we gladly agreed in exchange for front row seats.”
19 years later, the process of buying tickets has more to do with luck then with being first in line.
Just want to put it out there....if anyone has an "extra" one or two ga west tickets for MSG, I am very interested :)
ReplyDeleteTomcrac@aol.com
...A man can dream, can't he.....
.. can I pre-order one in Toronto ?
ReplyDelete.. just send me a payment info at lulli62@soon.com !
.. Lúlli !
I don't know how high the ticket prices are for other shows on this upcoming Crazy Horse tour....but the Madison Square Garden prices are absolutely RIDICULOUS!!! $77 for the cheapest and farthest away seats?!?!? And $288 for the best available....it's a crime that they're THIS high!
ReplyDeleteHow can you expect ANY average citizen to be able to afford these prices?! Neil and the Horse are one of my all-time favorite groups and one of my dreams has been to finally see them live...but to doll out that much money for ONE measly ticket is just about too much to ask. On Ticketmaster, the say "Each ticket comes with a physical copy of 'Americana'..." which is nice...but hardly makes up for the wrip-off ticket prices.
Sorry for ranting...I'm just really disappointed that they get away with jacking the prices up THIS high for a rock and roll concert. It makes me sick!
Jim - Not replying to justify or explain situation.
ReplyDeleteOnly to point out that you are incorrect: "Madison Square Garden prices are absolutely RIDICULOUS!!! $77 for the cheapest and farthest away seats?!?!? And $288 for the best available."
Not true.
The best tickets are the cheapest... GA on the floor will get you closer to the stage than the most expensive.
Anyone have Calgary, November 13th, presale codes?
ReplyDeleteNeil x14, Los Lobos x5 and I cant wait to see them again!
Still don't see a password for Toronto and I haven't had any emails yet. Anyone know it yet?
ReplyDeleteI'm also looking to the Toronto password, anyone have it yet???
ReplyDeleteHelp us fans get toronto tickets.
ReplyDeleteNo where else to look.
syscrusher
Could really use a presale pw for Winnipeg to see NY. I hope someone has it. I will be most appreciative.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have any inside track on Canadian presales.
ReplyDeleteBut I try the passwords used for US presales.
It might just AMPLIFY your results. :)
the live nation presale code for Vancouver is AMPLIFY
ReplyDeleteIs there 2 price ranges for GA floor in some/all cities?
ReplyDeleteVancouver show TM says $90 & $200 for GA
I also need the presale passcode for the WINNIPEG show. Never been to Manitoba before and am looking forward to seeing that part of the country, plus seeing Uncle Neil and the boys sing "High Flyin' Bird" !!
