You know, I must come off as the eternal optimist, but Ticketmaster said that my Waukegan and Merrillville tickets would arrive sometime between Sept.15 and 48 hours before the show. I got them last Friday, seven days after the presale. The package sale for LA hasn't ended yet- it ends today, right? It's entirely possible that as soon as all sales have processed, they will ship it all out. It might not be that late. Don't lose faith! My fingers are crossed for everyone...
