The American side is....lackluster, for lack of a better word. But being on the American side, I don't need my passport, which is always nice. I can't wait (I can't wait)!

I had to break down and go to stubhub for my front row tickets in Boston. Wasn't too happy about the prices.... but hey who can put a price on THAT kind of happiness?!?

I plan on seeing her again in CT and VA but we're going to wait until a couple of weeks before the concert dates to buy tickets. Hopefully someone will be desperate to get rid of some and cut us a deal!

Oh ok.. Thats what I love doing these little Stevie tours.I get to see the country.Thats why I call it a Stevie-cation.I probably spend enough money that I could go on a cruise.But I will have more fun seeing Stevie 6 times a year.I'm glad you got good seats.Enjoy.

Default How to get good tickets

Hello! I read the Ledge religiously and I'm completely obsessed with FM, but I'm not as knowledgeable or experienced as most of you are about concerts. The last (and only) time I saw them in concert was in 1977!

But I want to see them this summer. At Jones Beach. Tell me, please, what is the best way to get good tickets? I want to be in the "orchestra" -- I'm not sure what the right word is, that's the word you'd use for theater tickets -- the area immediately in front of the stage. I don't care about front row, I don't mind if I'm 20 rows back or on the side, but I don't want to be in the balconies.

Is this even possible? I really can't spend $500 a ticket. But I feel like this may be my last chance to see them.

Thanks for your patience with this newbie! I'd be very grateful for any advice.

i would think Mick's tickets are your best bet, but they are pretty close to $500. he has 6th floor front orchestra center available for $425, no taxes or additional charges.

I told the story on here a few times before. I scored first row tix at Stevie's show back in 2010 at the Turning Stone casino upstate NY just by calling the box office.This was about 90 minutes later of the first day of ticket sales.

It felt like I won the freaking lottery.I had the box office clerk repeat the seat location twice.

The clerk said you get better seats if you only want one seats.

The other shock was the tix prices at that show were only $100 each.

Good luck getting good seats for FM shows guys.Have Fun.

tickets usually "drop" a few days before the show.

for the pittsburgh show i got my 3rd row ticket which ended up being front row about 8 days before the show. the last time i saw them i got a front row ticket 2 days before the show so it varies but really what i do is just check ticketmaster like 50 times a day for about 2 weeks up until the day of the show. i do this for every single concert i go to and have pulled up front row for various shows quite a few times. the worst i ever sat was probably around 10th row in the last 10 years and i go to a lot of concerts every year. good luck!
