Tickets for CA Petty shows HARD to get!!

[jkmaletic]

Am I the only one having such a HARD TIME getting good seats for the Cali shows?? The San Diego/Coors show in particular. Nothing has been coming up (good) on TM, and the brokers are selling them very quickly and for a lot of $$. I'm really surprised. The San Diego show is on a wednesday night, and it's not LA, so I thought I'd be able to find SOMETHING in the orchestra (which is a big section at Coors), but I haven't. At least not in my price range. I'm willing to go up to $250/seat.
I have a friend working on her neighbor who owns a ticket broker business, but if that falls through I guess I'll just go to the venue on the day of the show and hope they release some seats. Maybe there ARE a lot of seat holds for this show, even though it's not LA. Anyway, sorry to rant....just very disappointed right now. :distress: I'm trying to not give up hope.

Any of you guys ever got lucky with seats going to the venue on the day of the show?

Actually yes. I got front row for that venue the day of thanks to tickets being released. Gold Dust Tour awesomeness!

Your chances are better if you buy a single ticket. But even that isn't bringing up great seats at the moment (Sec. 204 Row H). You could take your chances by going to the box office on the night of the show. But this doesn't guarantee good seats.

Cool!

I actually ended up getting 5th row center the day before the show. We were exactly in front of Stevie's mic too. Everything worked out, but I never had such a hard time getting good seats before, ever.

I had NEVER had such a hard time getting tix for something SN related. After having seen Tom now, I can see why his tix are so hard to get. He has a devoted fanbase, and kicks ass live. We couldn't get squat day of in LA, and the Greek in Berk doesn't "upgrade" (bastards) though my pal was able to get some day of on Fri. I think. They weren't so great though, and apparently very few were last minute released. Am REALLY wanting to see Tom again this last Berk date, 10/27. Dunno if I am gonna try though. Stevie or not, I'd like to see him one more time. If SN DID show up, ofcourse that'd be a perk!

I have to agree!!! Our venue here isn't the easiest to score tickets to in the first place--but for the Tom show--ugh!! I had to settle for 20th row on ebay--and while that isn't horrible--after being in the first row for Stevie and the Mac, 20 just seemed so far away!! ha ha I guess they sold some tickets at the box office I found out later right before the show....... some closer ones of course :mad: But I can't go to a concert empty handed and hope I get good tickets--I have to be prepared!! ha ha I would have rather have been there than to take the chance of getting nothing at all--and the show was suppose to be sold out....... but yeah--tickets were especially hard to get for our show here also!
