Now this could make you mad!

My first two shows, the first was with the CODE got toatlly crappy seats for Toronto. Today I jumped in the regular Ticketmaster way and got awesome Golds sidestage!!!

but I'm not mad because at least I got good seats.

Want something done? do it yourself!!!

Cheers.

Perhaps the fact it's a 2 or 3rd show is why. Nonetheless, I like the possibilities of scoring good seats during the public on sale.

Yea, Maybe that's it.

I thought it was maybe because the Fanclub has a block of seats that were farther away...but since this was a general sale I had a chance at whatever is left?

Na that sounds wrong, I don't know.

Whatever! I am Stoaked !!!

Yeah, I think it's been easier to get tickets for some of the later shows announced in a particular area. I get the feeling that Best Buy and Fan Club seats may be in the same general sections, but with the 2-ticket limit BB seats have a slight advantage in general. I just thought it was interesting that for Philly I got 2 BB and 4 Fan Club tickets in the same exact section.

I think I'm gonna try in the general for Dallas tomorrow, just to see what's avail. Seemed like the FC presale seats were better than some reported for shows in larger venues.

I bot tix in both the presale and general sale and, truthfully, haven't seen a difference in seating. I think the presales were helpful in shows like MSG, where the venue is smaller or in places where the demand for a seat was so great, that they sold out before you could get tix - I know I read that this happened in Toronto and Fenway. I think that as more shows are being added, people are calming down a bit and just waiting for the announcement to be made in their city and this is helping with obtaining tickets. Regardless, it doesn't matter how you got em, as long as you got em!

Is it just me, or are others feeling the same.

Now that I've got my tickets I thought the stress would be over.

But now I'm stressing for other members hoping they get their tickets. :shock:

Yea I play!

My new Fender Sting bass is wicked!

I am mainly a drummer but over time I got frustrated when other musicians in my band would be dragging their heels. So I did a CD playing all the instruments except my buddy Steve did the lead guitars, he can play!.

...I just do basic stuff, but I really enjoy it. I am currently trying to "smush" Reggae and Country together. Next week I should have new stuff on MySpace.

I am right now supposedly in a new band (3 piece) but I haven't even met the 3rd guy yet. We'll see. These things have a tendency not to happen.

Anyway, what do you play?...are ya gigging or recording?

PS. Thanks for asking about my Bass.
- Anybody have a good name for him? "Brian" is taken. - Cheers.

It's amazing what can happen if you keep trying.

Congrats on tickets!

It took me three shows to get good ones but at least I lucked out.

It's true though, that you just need to be there in the building really, even far away!

It'll still be them...if you can believe it!

Cheers.
