If you take a look at the offer, you'll see that the 2 for 1 tickets are hardly nosebleeds, and are better than over half the seats that were made available (meaning I'm not counting behind the stage). Its hardly the "last 1000 nosebleeds"- its more like desperately trying to fill the last ~4000 lower bowl tickets by discounting them 65% from their original price.

I have perspective; I can see how the venue might think this show is successful in certain ways, but its ridiculous to think that the promoter would feel as such by offering such deep discounts on quality tickets.

EDIT- seating chart, from Qwest Center's website. $150 tickets now priced at $38.75 each when you buy 2.

Hey Luke, you seem to know alot about how this tour is doing. How about sharing which upcoming shows are selling the best? Oakland maybe? That's the show I will be attending, and they usually draw a pretty big crowd in their Bay Area performances.

They're doing okay- if they were playing only Oakland OR San Jose, the show would be sold out clean. There's no chance they would ever cancel either show, if only because of the band's connection to the area. Oakland had a $25 ticket offer a week ago or so, and I've gotten two emails in the last month offering comps.

I'm actually surprised at how well Sacramento is selling, especially for a Monday night

section 119 isn't the floor, it's lower bowl~

FM77 · #10 04-25-2009, 06:03 AM

119 is a good seat for $38....I do feel bad for those that spent $147 though...ouch

FM77 · #11 04-29-2009, 06:14 PM

Sec 119 is still available a week after the 2 for 1 offer became available. I know some friends who bought last week but I can't believe these aren't getting bought up at this price. Very surprising.

LukeA · #12 04-29-2009, 06:24 PM

Yeah, they can't even give them away.

carol7lynn · #13 05-01-2009, 07:01 AM

Single seat in second row now! May 1st; 5:00 A.M. PST

At least the 2 for 1 tickets in sec 119 seem to be gone...they are now offering upper bowl 218 with that offer.

Ok so I bought my full price tickets months ago for Omaha. Went just now to check out what's left on Ticketmaster. I searched for full price tickets and it came back with main floor row 2!!!! I'm screwed because I paid the same price for 1st balcony seats in the center of the auditorium. But those of you who were smart enough to wait until the last minute - go get your tickets now. I had to retry 3 times before I got main floor row 2 so give it your best shot!
