Selling one of my front row tickets to Nashville Show

[golddustwoman77]

I just wanted everyone to know that I am selling one of the tickets that I purchased from an online broker to the Nashville, TN show at the Ryman Auditorium on October 7. I am selling it for less than I paid for it, and I have it on eBay. It is a true front row ticket. It is on the main floor, section 3, row AA in the center. If you are interested, please check out my listing. Thanks!

oooh....that's the only show that would be worth the effort and expence for me. Lindsey in Nashville is a doubledate, The ryman makes it triple, front row quadrupel....aaaarrrrggghhhhh. It is impossible with work.

:distress:

SHARON GO FOR IT!

Hmmmm, wondering if they'd let my daughter sit in my lap if I bought it from you??? (I do already have 2 tickets for us, row F, NOT FRONT ROW!)

Might consider it if that's possible. What do you think?

[BTFLCHLD]

Isn't this exactly what Lindsey didn't want?

Yes, it is...but it appears that Ticketmaster didn't honor his wishes/requests because the brokers have some of the front row seats, as usual. The fans didn't get all of them, and that stinks! I've already said that all of those primo seats should've been released during the first minutes of the presale FOR HIS FANS on Thursday to be picked up in "will call" instead of whatever ridiculous method that Ticketmaster uses to release seats. I hate them.:distress:

I bet that those tickets are right next to mine. I wonder how many seats are in the front row? I bet those tickets were never even available on TM in the first place. These scalpers must have some sort of a deal with either the venues or the promoters to be able to grab them before they go onsale.
Sadly, if I don't get great seats from TM then I am going to have to do the same for the Boston show.

Yes, but that was the only way that I could go front row, and obviously Ticketmaster didn't honor their promise and sold off at least 4 tickets to ticket brokers. :(

I purchased two tickets on the first day as well. Mine will be at will call too. I'm in the same boat, but I couldn't not buy the front row when I saw them.:blob2: :blob1: I bet you could call the Ryman and ask if she could sit in your lap. She is little, so they ought to. If you could work it out, we would definitely have fun at the show. This would be the second show that we have been beside each other on the front.

Cool! We'll have to remember to talk closer to time, so we can be sure to meet and speak to each other. There are twelve seats in the front row according to the Ryman Auditorium site.

That was what I was thinking about the tickets. I don't think that they were ever avaliable to the fans. I was on there the first day (priority sale) at 10:00 a.m. on the dot. Never saw not one front row ticket! I have tried everyday since, nothing. So, I went the ticket broker route which I know is bad. But I'm thinking this could be the only time that Lindsey will be on tour solo again ever, so I had to do it.

Hey, take off work and go, baby!!!!! Just do it. Be sick that day. We'll have fun at the show.

Pattie...do you know if the Boston show is General Admission? Livenation.com has it as GA with all seats 35 dollars. I see brokers have actual seats for sale. I am curious what is up with this show. It seems like there should be different price levels if it is not GA. I was told two different things when calling the venue...GA and ticketed. WTF. So confusing. I guess Livenation.com should be correct...although I hope it is a seated show.

Kelly, where do you see it on LiveNation? All of the other shows are assigned seating so I would imagine that LB would be the same, If it's not I might not even bother because I won't get there until 5:30 anyway.

Go to Livenation.com...and search Lindsey Buckingham. Click on his name for the Orpheum show..and it gives you a list..I think it is "more details about event" or something. It says "General Admission...tickets $35.00". I know all the other shows there are ticketed and brokers have seats for sale..at differnt price levels..so its confusing. Livenation should know, right? :shrug:

Yeah, I saw that. Talk about confusing. Anyway a call will be placed to the venue tomorrow to see if they know what is going on.:shrug:
Does Lindsey know the stress that he is causing to his fans? Once again what would be the point of a presale if the seats are GA?:shrug:

HOLY $H*T! I'd go if I could afford the plane flight back to the States. I'm DYING to see this tour. Plus, I wanna get Buckingham's autograph again after that one drunken girl ruined the one I got on the Say You Will tour! =P

I might give them a call. I do have a ticket to get her in the door, and I would think that would be all that mattered to them. 'Course, she's not quite as small as she was the last time you saw her! She's nearly as tall as me!:laugh: Then again, don't you think we'll be standing up during most of the show?

I'm afraid that the people answering the phones at the Ryman would tell me that would be ok, but one of the "security" guys standing up front the night of the show could make us move---my kind of luck. That would stink if I've paid the $$$.

I almost bought a set of AA tickets last night from a broker...then I saw the outrageous "service fee" in addition to the ticket prices. Just couldn't do it! (It's still on my mind, though, I won't lie!:laugh: )

Hmmm, decisions, decisions!

[shackin'up]

Be sick for a day wouldn't be the problem. It'll cost me a workweek. Flyin'in from Amsterdam isn't gonna work for a day babe. I'd LOVE to have fun with you at the show, but this is an impossible mission for me.:distress:

Hey, I didn't notice the Amsterdam part. :( Well, I wish you could come over and see the show with me. Maybe another concert?

Tell me about it! I paid a hundred and something/almost two hundred dollars in service fees and that doesn't count the two tickets at $285.00 apiece. Also, the shipping charge was $25.00. Really, I'm losing quite a bit of money selling the ticket for only the $285.00, but I decide if a real fan bought it and I got part of my money back; it was worth it. It is just crazy, really, to pay that much. I just couldn't pass the tickets up. If it took him this long to tour again, I really doubt if he'll tour ever again after this, so I decided to just go for it. You should take someone with you. They can sit in your other seats with your daughter, and you could take the front row ticket. It is just an idea. :shrug:

[Kelly]

Two hundred bucks in service fees? WTF. That is robbery. I hate the 12 buck TM service fee..:p. These brokers make so much extra on just the ticket itself...its pathetic to add on all the extra charges too. Even 285 for a front row is crazy..for Lindsey at least. I hate brokers so much! :mad:

I know it is totally crazy, and it makes me soooo mad!!!! :mad: But here I am allowing myself to fall victim to the ticket brokers and their prices. I know it is wrong to do it, but man, I want to go front row so bad. This was the only way. I just wish Ticketmaster would actually honor what they say and not sell to ticket brokers. They should release ALL the tickets to the general population, and let the best people win them. That would be fair.

Funny but, I think I'm the one that bought your extra front row ticket! I just came on here and started reading, and realized I think I'm gonna be your neighbor at the show! Thanks so much again by the way....it's gonna be SOOOO amazing. I'll let you know when I get the ticket in the mail.
