2 Nights at the Borgata!

[WildHeart69]

Two nights at the Borgata again:

June 20th

and

June 21st

supposedly both are confirmed, but I dont know by who...

[kathy1]

i heard that some where also. but i don't think it is confirmed yet.

[DavidMn]

If this is true, It's about 80% I'll go to these 2 shows plus Boston.:nod: Is the venue shes suppposed to be playing at the 2,400 seat one? and for people that saw here there last year, how much were tix?

[MacMan]

If this is true, It's about 80% I'll go to these 2 shows plus Boston.:nod: Is the venue shes supposed to be playing at the 2,400 seat one? and for people that saw here there last year, how much were tix?

Their site says it holds 3,700 peeps - the only other venue is the music box which holds 1,000 so it's more then likely the event centre.

[DavidMn]

Their site says it holds 3,700 peeps - the only other venue is the music box which holds 1,000 so it's more then likely the event centre.Ok. Well then they'll probably be about $125 a ticket. I can afford that if I only go to those 3 shows.:thumbsup:

Last time she was at the larger one, and I paid 125 for my ticket at the Borgata.

[AliceLover]

Shes gunna be exhausted by the time she gets to Boston....:rolleyes:

[DavidMn]

I was thinking this schedule makes sense in that we all know how much Stevie loves Boston, so she'el have a couple days off there after the show, and (I'm putting my Nostradamus hat on as we speak) I'm thinking Scranton or Holmdel or Camden for a couple shows after that. We'el see if I'm right. (That's a scary thought!:laugh:)

[jkmaletic]

Is this an East Coast Only Tour?? Just kidding - I know she'll come out west too. Just wish I had some dates so I could start planning!!

~jamie

[kathy1]

i was wondering that when i saw some of the dates.

[AliceLover]

~jamie

She does a million dates in California every year. The East Coast deserves some dates (and Europe, but we all know that will never happen).

[kathy1]

i hope that more dates will be announced soon.

[HejiraNYC]

If these dates are indeed happening, it's rather surprising that she would be playing two nights at the Events Center, especially since she just played there in August and October (which was not exactly sold out) last year. Even Eric Clapton is only doing one night there. And back in 2005 when she played two nights there (her first solo tour since 2001), the place was literally half empty each night.

She'd better have an amazing opening act this time!

[kathy1]

does anyone know who the opening act will be if there is one?

[eric51078]

I was wondering the same thing!

[GODDESS6]

~jamie

i hear that, she has totally blown of the midwest where i live the past 3 tours~

i have to travel to see her & tho i love my stevie & i do it, it certainly gets old~ the mac played here during say you will, they were the 2nd band at our new venue & sold out & said they loved playing here~

we have 2 other much smaller venues that she would be fabulous at & if she is doing the outdoor thing again, we have that too, but we keep getting blown off:distress:~

I think Holmdel is a pretty sure bet

[DavidMn]

I think Holmdel is a pretty sure betReally? Did a little birdie tell you?:cool:

[Stephanie]

Really? Did a little birdie tell you?:cool:

No, I just think her history is to repeat herself, LOL. I used to live in Jersey so this is fave venue of mine. Maybe its more hoping!

[Steviefan49]

I'm hoping for a few Vegas shows too! COME on Stevie!!:p

I left for AC, with no tickets, in 2005. An hour and a half before the show started, I got third row from the box office. I ended up sitting in the front row because half of it was empty. (prolly comps who didn't show up) I felt sort of bad for her as the place was literally less than half full, both nights. The Borgata is a cool place to see Stevie but security can be bast*ards. I am curious why she is playing Reading in April and back to the east coast again in June/July. :confused: Reading is sort of the middle of nowhere........about two hours from NYC and an hour and a half from Philly. A bit of a strange itinerary.

[kathy1]

i got an email from the borgata this morning and they said that stevie will be there on june 20&21. ticket prices are 125,95,75. sale date saturday at 10am. you can get tickets from comcasttix.com or from the borgata.com websites. good luck everyone.

[kathy1]

i don't know it didn't say in the email.

[Regina]

The outdoor venue FM played in doesn't seem to exist anymore.

So, it's the Event Center.

And I'm really annoyed at the way this tour has been announced. Two concerts in one month. Then nothing for the next month, and then three nights in a row? What are the chances of Stevie actually having a voice left by the time she hits Boston?

She better stock up on the Ricola:laugh:

[kathy1]

i wonder if she will play camden again. does anyone on here know if she will?

[kathy1]

i try to see her on every tour but i don't know about this one but i will have to wait and see if she will add more dates.

[DavidMn]

i try to see her on every tour but i don't know about this one but i will have to wait and see if she will add more dates.SO I assume by the Email you got that they wont be available thru Ticketmaster then?

[kathy1]

yes that's right.

[DavidMn]

yes that's right.I appreciate the good info thank you.:)

[kathy1]

your welcome. are you going?

[DavidMn]

your welcome. are you going?85% yes. I would go to Boston too, and stay there for a couple days after the show. I havent been to Boston in a long time and I really wanna go back. Plus, I can get Red Sox ticckets too.:blob2::laugh:

[kathy1]

well have fun if you go.

[kathy1]

how are the views at the borgata? have you seen her there before?

[DavidMn]

how are the views at the borgata? have you seen her there before?No Ive never been to Atlantic City.

[kathy1]

i was just wondering.

[DavidMn]

i was just wondering.No problem. I take it you havent been there either?

[Stephanie]

Borgata was great in 2005 because the comp people in row 1 -2 sat still in their seats, allowing us in 3 up to the front. I made friends with a security guy who helped me to the front, right in front of jana and sharon. THe center front guard was MEAN though!

[nailatixela]

I don't see anything about Stevie on the Borgata's website as of now.


edit: called the Borgata and the lady said Stevie is confirmed for the 21st, but not the 20th.

[Lee]

My husband & I probably will not go this year & see her @ The Borgata. We saw her last year there, & she will probably do the same set list as last year. Besides, got to start saving for the Mac tour next year (with or without Sheryl). :rolleyes:

Lee :)

I was in AC today, on the road home, there was a HUGE billboard stating both dates.......pretty cool to see! Wish I had my camera with me

[kato]

There is a billboard on the Walt Whitman Bridge also,coming from Philly to NJ.

BTW
If you have not seen Stevie at The Borgata,then you dont know what you have been missing,so get your asses there this time.

[kathy1]

the tickets are too expensive.

[Regina]

the tickets are too expensive.

They are expensive. And, unless you're a local or willing to drive back and forth, Atlantic City hotels for Friday and Saturday nights are horrendously expensive. What will cost you less than $100 during the week, will run about $250-$350 over the weekend. And, if you gamble...well, pretty much expect to spend A LOT of money there.

I've done it before, but--since I already got a ticket elsewhere, I will pass on the Borgata this time. But, in general, it's a really, really nice place to see her (or anyone, really). Actually, I think it's my favorite place to see her.

[nailatixela]

I don't see anywhere to buy these tickets?? Were they not supposed to go on sale today?

[WildHeart69]

Next Sat I believe

[GardenStateGirlie]

edit: called the Borgata and the lady said Stevie is confirmed for the 21st, but not the 20th.

she's definitely doing the 20th. i'm scheduled to work a live broadcast from the show w/ray koob.

[paleshadow]

Here is an e-mail response I got from the Borgata when I asked about the dates and when tickets go on sale:

[SandyMac]

A friend of mine and I are going to the show on the 21st I think.
Since the rooms are expensive, does anyone have any suggestions on where to get a good room that is safe and more affordable? Or are there people sharing a room? Those room rates are crazy expensive.

[Regina]

I looked it up, Sandy.

The Showboat has a room for $199 (that's the cheapest, it seems, among the Harrah's group of hotels). Then the Trump Marina also has one for $199. (This is all "cheap" for a Friday in Atlantic City. I didn't even look up the Saturday rates.

There are cheaper hotels/motels right outside of Atlantic City/in the side streets, but I can't recommend anything (I don't drive so I've pretty much had to stick to the boardwalk) and I'd be very careful about booking anything without someone else recommending the place to you. I did that one time, a very long time ago in a hotel just off the B'walk, and ended up in such a dive, that I took the bus home that night instead of staying there. And that was for safety reasons, not even taking into account the black mold in the tub.

Anyone else stayed somewhere not that expensive?

Thanks for the info. A friend recommended Hampton Inn in Pleasantville just off the expressway. So, I think I am booking my reservation tonight to be on the safe side. Pretty decent rates and I know Hampton Inn is a good chain.

Okay, I know I am not the only one that gushes a little and smiles when Stevie's new press photo splashes across the screen at the top of the page.
Come on... you know you do. :]

Great! I don't drive so my options are always limited.
But, yeah, I've stayed at the Hampton Inn in other cities and it's always been nice.
Have Fun! I know you'll love the show at the Borgata. Stevie really seems to enjoy playing there.

Thanks Regina. I plan to really live it up on the 20th. My friend and I are gonna have fun on this road trip. Traveling from VA to NJ and blasting Stevie all the way. :nod: I am really looking forward to seeing Stevie in a smaller venue.
Wish it was the smaller one, but hey one can't complain about 3700 seat capacity when you are used to large outdoor venues or huge arenas. It is more intimate and I am sure it will be memorable.

[Eugene]

Greetings all.

The presale that started this morning, password = COMCAST3, "guaranteed" the best seats in the house would be available. NOT!!!

Nothing in the 300's came up, and the best in the 200's and 400's was 12th row.

Top price for floors and lowers = $125.00.

[WildHeart69]

^ I got the email about the presale the other day but didnt even post about it because it wasnt worth people getting their hopes up and trying to make special plans for a Thursday morning...all the other Borgata presales I ever tried were always a bust...(as well as almost every other presale anywhere for that matter)

[Eugene]

There were better tickets at 4:30 PM Saturday than the first 2 hours of the sale. Total joke. Best I saw was section 400 row 5, seats 9 & 10. I only saw one pair of 300's and they were in row 18. I was only looking for the Saturday show.

Here's hoping for a Philly or Metro NYC date announcement soon.

Row 18 in section 300 is actually pretty good. The view anyway. The tickets that were coming up were much better than anything that came up for Mohegan Sun for me. I ended up getting 4th row in section 100. Better did come up yesterday like you said, but it's cool because the Borgata will exchange the tickets for better seats the day of the show, if they are available.

[SandyMac]

I managed to snag section 400, row 15, seats 1 & 2 for Friday's show. :thumbsup::blob2::blob1:

[Stephanie]

Best I saw was section 400 row 5, seats 9 & 10.



I bought those. I will try to trade for closer when I get there, but those seemed OK to me.

[WildHeart69]

hate to burst everyones bubble, but they didnt upgrade for anyone at the last Stevie show there. I wouldnt expect them to do it for these either!

[paleshadow]

I got an upgrade last year at the Borgata, but I'm not sure which date it was now. Perhaps they just didn't have seats available to upgrade to. How can you be sure no one got an upgrade?

[Lee]

Yeah, they didn't upgrade for my husband & I either. :shrug: Well, they had some seats that were pretty far back in the middle though & since we were far far left, but 4th row, we just stayed put. Doesn't hurt to try to upgrade anyway.

Hope you all have a good time! :wavey: We did last year.

Lee :)

[Stephanie]

I did get an upgrade last time, not a big one, from row 13 to row 3. Only because I bugged the heck out of the little guy and he told me no 10x

[WildHeart69]

now, are you guys talking about the Chris Isaak/Stevie show, or the Stevie solo show(last one of the tour)?

I was at both, and they wouldnt even look at peoples tickets, they said they didnt do it anymore.

The show I was at was the one with Chris. I think it was June 16th? I went to the box office and asked if they upgraded tickets about an hour or two before the show, and the man I spoke to said "Well, let me see if anything is available" then he showed me what he had on a seating chart and I went from I think 14th row off to the side, to I think 8th row center. I don't see why they would stop doing that? Chances of them selling the seats an hour or two before the show are slim, and I think it's better for the artists ego to have the front of the house filled in. Never hurts to ask though, you may have just gotten someone who was new, or having a bad day or something.

[Stephanie]

mine was just stevie solo. Like I said, he kept telling us he didn't have anything, and finally about an hour before the show he traded us tix. I think it has to be very close to show time.

[Eugene]

I bought those. I will try to trade for closer when I get there, but those seemed OK to me.

You might not have to; I'm sure someone else can confirm/dispute this since I've never been in the venue, but I believe sections 200, 300 and 400 start with row 4.

I know sec 300 starts with proper row 1, because I sat in row 3 and there were 2 rows of seats in front of me.

I was upgraded from the Upper Risers to 8th row for the 8/24/07 show.
