I think if you are close enough, it wouldn't hurt, but if you can bring a phone with internet access or a lap top that might be a good idea also. I once waited at a venue to buy tickets and just as they went on sale, their computer went down!

How did you do?

Well, I stayed home and used the computer. I bought a couple, one in sec. 300 Row 15 and one in sec. 400, row 3 (but right side) . May have to relinquish, bring somebody, or trade up later one of those. I usually move up quickly to an empty seat anyway for the show.

Upgrade Later .......

when and how do you upgrade? I called in and got sect 300 row 16 .. seems that the GOLD CIRCLE tix were not yet being sold ( being held for big rollers ? )

I got gold circle tix! But it was after some trial and error. The system is screwed up. When I started, only ***** was popping up, but after a few more attempts, I got the goods.

Yes, Borgata does upgrade you on the night of the show (from one price tier to a higher price tier). But I don't think they do exchanges within the same price tier. I've done this only once. So maybe the best strategy is to buy a cheaper seat now and hope for the best on show night.

I also got section 300 row 15, which really are excellent seats to begin with. I had about the same seats last time she was there and got upgraded to 2nd row. If you go to the box office an hour before show time you can ask if they have upgraded seats available.

I pulled up section 200 row 5. I wasn't planning on going but I figured why not. Well, since my name and email address are ten miles long the system timed out. Guess I'm not going. Good luck to the person who got Section 200 row 5 seat 5

I pulled up fourth row section 300 about ten minutes after the sale started!! BUT they were supposed to be "saved" in my cart and weren't. I lost them.:shrug: A few minutes later I pulled up fourth row in sections 200 and 400 and stupidly threw them back. So I have no tickets as of yet. I want my fourth row sec.300 tix back. So if anyone out there has them, hand them over. LOL

I'm really happy, I've got the best tickets I've ever got. I've been feeling sick for almost 3 weeks now, and my mom surprised me this morning with 5th row tickets in section 400!! It was a great surprise, the closest I've been was 11th row with Fleetwood Mac. I can't wait!

Is this going to be opening night of the solo shows? Or at least the first night where she might do new songs?

Heaven help you if you are in 100 or 500. You may as well be staring at a wall for two hours... because that's what you'll be doing!

The Borgata Events Center is such a small room. I would not be surprised if Saturday night was added.

I don't really remember those sections, but from the seating chart, it looks like you're right! At least if you were in the first couple of rows. I think further back wouldn't be too bad.

I've never been to The Borgata (or to Atlantic City for that matter)...does anyone have any pics or advice about the venue that has been before? Thanks!:D

As long as this is the same venue she always plays at when she goes here, than it isn't. First time I saw her I had left riser section first row. It wasn't risen at all, it was on the ground. The second row there was just one step up. In fact, in front of us was the path where people walk so when people left, they had to walk in front of us (not right in front of us of course) to get out. So that was a bit annoying.

This is the show that I'd be going to if I were going. The DJ on http://www.wzxl.com just talked about the show. Stevie goes on @ 7:30 p.m. & I saw someone mention this before, my Phillies, are playing there @ Citizen's Bank Park, too, so parking & traffic will be dicey. The weather is just dreary (Phillies may get cancelled due to all the rain.). I think Stevie should open with Outside The Rain, like she did the last time that I saw her in Philly. :shrug: (And yeah, it was raining then, too.) Everyone have fun, be safe & of course, I expect a full report after the show!

I bought one ticket for me, myself and I. My parents don't know if they're going yet they might just wanna wait for PNC bank arts center. Dumb since they're gonna have to drive me down there anyways! But I got section 200 row 12. I think? Or maybe row 13. I forget. Not bad since the sysem froze for me when it was 10:00.

Muahahaha, But I won't say in my seat. I shall go suck up to the security again. Where's SaphireSister when ya need her? Miss flirty got me front row in August ;)

The show at Borgata ( aside from Webster Hall) is the 'kick off' for the tour promoting the new album ..... Borgata holds maybe 4,000 seats ??... still not sold out ??? what's going on ??

GavinBrown
04-25-2011, 04:17 PM
These casino shows are NOT kickoffs for her solo tour...they are one off appearances to make some moolah before she kicks off her tour in July I would bet....Webster Hall may be a VERY special show, and insight into more of what we will see on her summer tour.

She did perform in AC last summer and her tickets aren't that reasonable. I'm sure Borgata will fill seats with their players.
Webster Hall is sold out. That seems to be the kick off for her promotion. I would call this a tour. It may just be branched out over a period of time.

What are the chances of those primo seats by the brokers going to be sold back to Borgata to resell at normal prices? Or the closer you get to the date of the show, doesn't the broker lower the prices at all?

Just thinking it is better to sell the seats than none at all. :shrug:

As I received my Borgata tickets weeks ago .As I was checked my credit card transactions.I notice there was a transaction from Comcast tx on my statement.I said what in the hell is that from.Comcast is my cable tv provider.I never pay my cable bill with my credit card.As I found out .The Borgata uses Comcast tickets .which I did not know that.Also I did not know that Comcast is in the ticket biz.I was wondering why I got better seats this time around then before when she came for the CV tour.

04-26-2011, 05:35 AM
I got my tickets the other week and got the $75 ones in the center section of the risers around row S I think. I didn't see her with Rod Stewart (kinda kicking myself for it) and wanted to wait for Atlantic City, but now that I got them, I'm thinking I should've just saved my money for when she tours this summer to a venue other than a casino. I've been a Stevie fan for a few years now and have seen her with The Mac 3 times and as a solo artist once (in Atlantic City on the "This is Not a Tour" Tour), so I guess I'm making up for lost time. Excited though if she comes around to Jersey, MD or PA and plays an outdoor venue!

StandbackStevie
04-26-2011, 06:07 AM
I would be surprised she will do sheds this summer she might do a few if that but if there is a casino in the area she would probably do that instead. I don't mind going to the casinos for a show I love Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods MGM Grand Casino here in CT and those places she will more likely play maybe one other place outside of the casino would be The Oakdale Thearte in Wallingford. But those would be my 3 venues she would be playing this summer.She loved the Foxwoods MGM Grand Thearte last Aug. when she played here it was first time for her playing there she loved the venue awesome show she put on too as always.

I just hope we hear something soon. I was supposed to fly out today to go to Webster Hall and AC. I paid $200 to change my flight to Thursday, so I'm really hoping we'll hear before then. My big fear is that she'll cancel AC as well, but not until I'm already out there, have missed two days of work, and paid a total of $500 for a plane ticket with no concert on the other end lol. At least if I find out now I can use the flight credit for a tour this summer!

Honestly, I REALLY think this show will be cancelled. I still dont have a ticket, but I have a hotel reservation at Harrahs and I am thinking about cancelling it (I have 24 hrs to do so, but I think I might do it today)

Do you still have these tickets??????????? I was supposed to be flying to Webster Hall but if she doesn't cancel this we have no other dates for out East as of now and who knows where this is going from here..Is she playing the UK in June with Rod? There's only 3 other dates so far and they're out west..:angel:

I'm flying from Jackson, MS. I was really only going to the AC show because I was already going to be in the area for the Webster show. I've already got my AC ticket though (2nd row!), so until they actually cancel I guess I'll have to assume it's still going on (though I don't have a great feeling about it). If I didn't already have a ticket I definitely wouldn't be trying to go at this point. We have reservations at the Borgata for Friday night, so that gives us a little cancellation leeway. We got in just under the time limit to cancel the NYC hotel, so at least we were lucky there!

Yes, I still have the tickets although I posted them for sale elsewhere too. I wish they would make the announcement asap. I was thinking I would just keep them if the show is cancelled or postponed, and then decide at a later date what to do. But if the show is still going on, I need to sell them. Where would you be coming in from?

Don't get too discouraged yet. Refunds available sounds like those wanting them--can get them. Some people don't want to wait for a reschedule/don't know if they can make it another date, etc.
And it almost sounds like you have to initiate it.
I guess we'll see what hapens tomorrow.

It's a little discouraging but I don't see all this new activity just fading into the night without it ever taking off.

I figured it was going to get canceled.My bosses said she could not recover in a couple of days.let her rest.she probably reschedule somewere in AC this summer like she always does.probably not the Borgata or maybe so at the Borgata.With her last minute on the fly tour planning makes it hard to book at these places.For me I rather see concert tours in the summer.not any other season.I'm ahead on this one.the only thing I got to do is get the ticket refund.hotel and other things like time from work are taking care of with no problem.

With our emotions going up and down like a rollercoaster.I think we all lost alot of sleep this week worrying about Stevie's health.I was thinking today .maybe she should of said no to Rod for going on tour with him.She probably be in better health for her CD release.And this set of shows.

this really sucks

i just got an e-mail from Borgata stating that all purchases will simply be REFUNDED

no opportunity to keep the seat you had purchased, and if the concert is re-booked, well, good luck .... try again to get a good seat !

i practiced due diligence and got 3rd row center seats, now if it is rebooked i have to start all over ??

i am still gonna go to borgata this weekend, and before i gamble one penny there i will see the box office manager and try to make this right !
