Interesting. I got mine from MyTicketIn.com, with a confirmation email and everything. Although they did tell me they wouldn't ship until the beginning of November. If I remember right, thanks to Metallica, a block of seats is given to ticketmaster, another block to eTickets.com, etc. Maybe they're allowed to pre-sell the seats they know they're going to get.
Either that, or I just got scammed for about $100. (nosebleed section, so not the premium seats avaialble to you)
