So I got my presale code today. Has anyone else got theirs and did you use them (if so - how)?
-
No! Where do you live?
Maybe it's easy when people put their country in their account.
-
Sweden. And *bad word*... just recently got this from CDON.com (the participating presale online store in Sweden) as I preordered the standard edition as a gift from there.
(freely translated)
You will soon recieve the album by the mail and as a thank you for pre-ordering Privateering you'll find a unique code below which will give you advance admission to the ticket sales at MK.com before they are publicly released.
MK is coming to Sweden during the summer of 2013 and the ticket sale is linked to the concerts below which you are able to purchase tickets for with the above code between August 30th and September 2nd. To use your code please visit MK.com, create an account and make your purchase. Don't forget to register your code before checking out. Your code is valid for up to six tickets, which must be bought at the same time.
Unique codes my a$$ >:(
One half of the country is sitting on the same deal as those who bought from MK.com...
"Robbed" blind, again...
-
You - and everyone in the same boat - have my sympathy. You should complain!
-
It's the exact same info sent via the email from MK.com.
The difference is that I may use the MK.com in multiple countries. The "local market code" is only applicable nationwide.
And, there is absolutely no way of telling which option is superior or inferior.

Could you elaborate please ? I don't understand why you think you have been robbed, you don't trust that the code will allocate your seat in priority ?
-
I'm just saying that in the past MK.com have offered "special" things that turned out not to be very special at all.
The only thing that have remained somewhat unique for the fans (members of MK.com) was the presales. Now when you open the door to anyone in Sweden who preordered any version (even the standard version) of Privateering from CDON.com the presale and MK.com lose that last thing that makes the fans a bit more "unique".
So people will only register to use the presale, most will probably never support the official online community in buying the next Deluxe and Super Deluxe editions at the same time from MK.com.
What's the word, oh yeah - leeches...
-
What's the use of the presale code whereas the presales were open for people who only have to be signed in at mk.com?
-
I hear laughter down the street.
Damn it, they all laugh at me.
Yes, it started good and it will end in tears. Or rage. What's the matter with them! And no "official" forum to discuss it. But I guess they accept complaints. No pre-sale code for me, even if that doesn't mean much.
-
Today I saw that ticketmaster has listed the Cardiff show to be pre-saled on september 4th and on general sale later...
How do you get to that ticketmaster presale?

You may have a better seat allocation with a code than without. Who knows?
Remember that the assigned seat is send way after the presale end so....
We should ask MK.com about the use of the promo code....

Question:
I ordered the Deluxe Edition (in Germany) which will be available from Sept 3rd and at my place probably at wednesday 5th... I was checking the order -
there is no sign or info anymore about thes presale code stuff? Did amazon delete it all, is it still availbable? To be honest, I will download the digital version tonight and bought this thing alone because It's nice (physically obviously) AND because I want to take part on the amazon seating thing.
Any ideas? I have no info in fact that I can preorder with any amazon code??? ???
LE
-
The answer I got from the friendly MK.com staff was that the codes are equally good.

probably they deleted the info about the presale code, because this was only valid for orders until 30st august ... schau ma amoi ;)

Ah, that's the reason! Thanks joko! Was not sure about it...

I logged in at amazon.de and now EVERY edition will be released at Aug.31st, and the code-info is still there, for all editions... I got the information that my superduper-box is on the way to me and I

has anybody received in the meantime the mail with the presale code from amazon.DE ?
-
I still have not understood what added value has the pre sale code? Just guesses.
-
Received the code just an hour ago. Wonder if it will be valid for all German shows? And will this now decrease the possibility to get good seats as more fans will use this opportunity?
-

Do you get better seats with the code as without the code? It all goes through mk.com.

Exactly my question, where is the benefit for us mk members (I mean already a member..)

YES!
Presale with code will get you better seats than presale without one.
edit: You Germans are now facing what I've been tearing my hair about during the past week!
-
You know that for sure?

YES!
Presale with code will get you better seats than presale without one.
This what I would think at first but no official confirmation to date (or missed it).
I guess fo GA shows, will there be an "mk.com ticket with code entrance first " and then "MK.com ticket without code entrance" before everybody can come in?
(that suck I missed the stall presale and as it appears that I probably won't make Amsterdam)

So they added the privateering EPK to the life in songs DVD so it seems.

Well now look at me people ;)

Yes? The 12 minute EPK? Or is it longer?

MK.com staff sure...

A genuine bonafide sultan! Congratulations sir.
For the next milestone surely you must go back to the beginning? There are no more titles or blobs to be had!

THE sultan of swing!!!!
Pottel, are you sure that the EPK is in the dvd? Did you checked that yourself?

Congratulations Pottel! Are you wearing a red headband? ;D

Well mixed. And sorry, I really didn't measure the length and do not plan to tonight.

This business of presale codes all seems a bit confusing, I had missed that if you preordered the album you would get a promo code that might get you a better seat than the normal MK.com (without a code) presale would. I was in the second row last time- we'll see where I end up next year. It also seems a bit of a cheat to offer a free basic version of the album when you order 2 tickets through MK.com as the fans are mostly going to want (at least)the deluxe version with the extra tracks, and if a lot of them have preordered to get the promo code for the tickets they will be offered a superfluous 2nd copy before the album is even released ! . It's obviously a just marketing ploy to get us to order everything through MK.com. I noticed that the day that the old MK.com forum & "red pages" disappeared the membership had gone up by over 100 in the last 24 hours in the build up to the presale.

Hey Pottel, just tell us how many days do you have on your count? This will give us an estimate of the time to become Alec Guinness.

This thread is similar to this one:

I got a somewhat different answer of the presales as to one with code should be better. Quite the opposite.

But in order to use the code you had to register for MK.com and become a member...
So either way, everyone who bought the presales were MK.com members automatically. What became the difference was the code.
And as MK.com told me
" I can confirm that your promo code was verified and you will be receiving priority seating"
-
Hope to receive my promo code before the presale starts.

I got mine today, together with the shipping mail for my Deluxe box. It was scheduled for Monday, but now the news says it will arrive tomorrow!

I was quite surprised, and quite pleased, that the pre-sale tickets from MK.com for UK customers includeded a code for a free standard copy of 'Privateering.' I thought it was going to be a digital download, but it is actually the double-CD. One for the car at the very least.

Come again Adz, cause I didn't quite catch this one. You bought an edition and then registered on MK.com and bought tickets and they gave away a coupon that had a code and you went where to get your free CD? ;D
-
When you book your concert seats through MK.com, if you book 2 seats you get a promo code for a free copy of the basic 2 CD version of Privateering. (UK only) Seems a bit superfluous if you have just bought the deluxe or super deluxe version - I didn't realise that you got a promo code if you bought the album though MK.com that could get you "even better" seats in the presale until it was too late. It's all just cynical marketing to get you to buy everything through MK.com and I'd like to think that MK was not aware of this, but who knows. It's the same situation with the "extra tracks" that we had with Get Lucky- some will only be available on-line. If you buy the deluxe or super deluxe CD/Vinyl packages, you should get ALL the music . >:( Rant over. :disbelief
-
I cant see the point of receiving a free cd copy when purchasing two tickets... There will be cases when people buying tickets dont have the cd, but I bet it wont be very few...
-
So, pre-sale for Bremen starts in 45 minutes - and I really don't know what to do... Should I use my amazon precode or not?? Some says it gets better seats, some says, without the seats are the same.
However, it will take some additional time to fill in the code so the advantage might be compensated by that...
decisions, decisions.....
Any suggestions very welcome...
LE
-
For me the same question.... shall i use the amazon presale code or not? :-\
-
I see there an advantage using the code ... amazon(Germany) writes you will get the tickets as E-Tickets per eMail to your registered address. So you would have your tickets in hand and there would be no pick-up at the venue .... if we can trust amazon ::)
-
I read it properly a minute ago (for the first time... ) and now I see it just as a another way of getting new members for mk.com... I also wondered about the e-ticket thing, but that might be another describtion of what we are used to for years - getting a confirmation mail and then have to wait for the exact seats.... So I guess it is really only interesting for people who buy at amazon and are not yet mk.com members... and to make sure the membership is coming via the amazon shop, they have to give in this code... whereas the advantage, priority seats, should be the same for ALL mk.com members....
LE
-
In my book it's simple:
a) You have to be a MK.com member to get presale tickets (included those who even register today!)
b) So you have the code
c) What's the difference between an MK.com member with code / an MK.com member without one?
d) The code!
Conclusion: MK.com staff told me I have got priority seating over those who didn't have a code.
-
I didn't use it anyway.
The question was more: Are amazon.de quotes "worth more" than the usual mk.com membership, means, would you have access to BETTER places when using the amazon.de code compared to "just" being a normal mk.com-member for years...
However, it is lapsed now..
LE
-
The impression I got from the MK.com staff was that all codes "competed equally". It was just a matter of having one or not, in spite of where it came from.
-
I was able to use amazone.de cod only one time by booking Berlin adn Frankfurt. Stuttgart was bougt without cod. We will see which seats are better..

Yes, it does sound all confused and convoluted, but thank you 35Strats for explaining! I've been a member of MK.com for a long time now, but have never seen this kind of offer before.
My sister pre-ordered the deluxe version for me as a late birthday present, and my girlfriend's getting me the box set for Christmas, so all I've done is order tickets off of MK.com this time around.
Having to buy several versions of the same album, to get all the tracks, is quite a sting, though.
-
Does the presale code need to be used with the same email address they were sent?
-
Just saw the MK is coming as close as Bulgaria, but not Greece. Why? I didn't get any code, by the way. Why?
-
Crisis maybe, afraid not to sell enought tickets maybe.
Code is only for certain countries and came with ordering a CD at mk.com, bol.com (netherlands) amazon.de (germany) and some more.
-
Yes Ingrid, I have thought of those, but what if I could attend a show abroad by using my children's savings for their college...
Some flights to London are cheaper than going to Thessaloniki or Bulgaria.
-
You can choose whatever you like, but I hope you don't use your childrens studymoney :P Poor kids
-

It was a double joke Ingrid. ;D
Of course reality is harsh enough. You can't possible save any money nowadays. Especially if you are out of work. And then it is the high cost of life, taxes, and special contributions for the government. Savings? I was lucky enough to sell some collections of mine to buy the new album (which by the way, I still wait for). Study money? You have to eat to reach a certain age and go to college.
But still I find it quite disturbing that I am not even given the chance or choice. Lesson learned. Won't be burnt again.
-
I know dear, therefor this :P
But I really think that's the reason they don't do Greece now. And I hope Greece will do better in a few years.

The day after Istanbul is a free slot and I bet it will be filled. And what country is bording Turkey, hum hum hum?

Syria, Armenia, Iraq, Iran, Cyprus, Georgia, Bulgaria. ;D
Fingers crossed. Only problem with booking, has to do with currency, if you catch my drift.

it was clearly stated that the planning/announcing is not over yet. switzerland is still missing, so is dublin, and so is greece. i am sure, looking at the rest of the tour, that Athens should be in it, DESPITE the crisis. it is not like all bands have stopped coming (or have they?)

As long as they receive advance payment in euro dollars they will keep coming

Apart from Red hot chili peppers that were booked a year ago, this years' concert calendar was rather poor. I find it strange because I have heard of special concerts in Dubai, which is far away, extremely hot and with limited site seeing, when Greece certainly has an advantage. But there is a lack of trust and a plethora of negative statements to match. Anyway, the Athens airport taxes are rather enormous, thanks to the company that runs it, but If Athens holds a concert I would really be happy to meet any of you coming and help you around the city!

I got my presale codes :yesterday from mk.com, today from fnac.com
Both codes are to be used on mk.com.
