VH1 Presale Disappointment
By: Ronald Marshall
I have been a committed KISS fan for the last 22 years. I got my first KISS album when I was 7 years old. I have every Album they have put out. I was very disappointed in the VH1 presale on the first two set of dates for the Farewell Tour. I have a complaint and would like to share it, not looking for sympathy, but I am was very frustrated and would like to vent.
I am a handicapped person, and need handicapped seating for the shows. When I found out that KISS was playing in Hershey, PA and in Virginia, I was beside myself with excitement. I attempted to order my tickets online through VH1 during their presale. I was very disappointed to find out that I could not order accommodating seating during the presale. Granted, I did get my tickets for each show after they went on sale to the public. But they were not the best seats. I feel like even though I am handicapped, I should have had the same opportunity to order the tickets as everyone else. Seeing many handicapped people at the shows, I am sure I am not the only one that experienced this frustration.
What frustrated me the most, was the fact that I e-mailed VH1 and also gave them a call to request assistance. They did not make any attempt to respond. As I said previously I am not looking for sympathy and do not expect special treatment for my handicap. But I do expect to have the same opportunities as everyone else.
