I end up waiting for the general sale and pray for even a nose bleed seat will be available .I just be happy to get inside .
I'm not going to get a AMEX or CitiBank card just for Ticket Bastard pre-sales or bother a friend or a family member with a card to help me get tix.

Through the years I have bought a lot of concert tickets. Sometimes the presales have the best tickets. Sometimes they don't. I guess it's really hard to know. If anyone has any insider info on these particular presales, that would be awesome. :)

I refuse to get my hopes up this time around. I was on top of the presales last year and could not get crap! And the general sale sucked ass too, I ended up having to buy sixth row from stubhub. But I know if I don't try this time everyone will be walking away with front row!

Please excuse my ignorance (first time concert goer here), but the prices seem a bit low to me. I'm assuming these wouldn't include the floor seats, right? These would be the higher up seats? I remember someone posting the tickets they had for the United Center on either the 2009 or 2013 tour were $1800. Just wondering if these prices are for any "good" seats.

AmEx was the only offer that I heard about. "Buy your tickets a week early, with AmEx", on the local news(which btw, FM was a HUGE story today, on local news - since they're coming to Indy).
And I apparently know no one with an AmEx. No one wants to pay their annual fee. I wish I had one, NOW! lol

I dropped mine because of fee increases, however it looks like the Amex prepaid card can be used-faq link below. I have never tried it or thought to try it but I am tempted. Anyone ever do this?
Previous Amex presales haven't pulled good seats for me, but it is still worth a try.

On Mick's official website, some of the "VIP" links are now active. However, when you click on it, it just takes you to the Ticketmaster webpage for that particular tour date.
Are Mick's VIP packages being sold through Ticketmaster this tour, as opposed to his official site/groundctrl?

For Atlanta, searching on Ticketmaster for just a single ticket, the best that came up immediately at 10:00AM sharp was (much) more than half-way back on the floor. Checking repeatedly to see if anything better might come up, the furthest section back on the floor is what typically came up.
Waste of time.
In my opinion, these "Presales" are designed by Ticketmaster to segment and sell average-to-poor ticket inventory to fans who see the word "Presale" and assume that they are getting access to special tickets because they are "Presale".
Did anyone else do better with today's "Facebook Presale"?

I kept getting 2 options for Ft. Lauderdale- either midway on the floor or a lower level section close to the stage row 3, so I took the lower level one. I am so short, floor level seats are no good for me unless I can get in the first section.

I would expect a full promotional blitz(TV, newspaper full page ads) for Monday's general on-sale. There are already plenty of tickets on StubHub, and we are many months away from the shows. The prices will certainly drop as we approach show dates, so try not to sweat it too much.

The thing about these "Presales" is they are marketing gimmicks meant to drum up interest & ticket sales for the regular on sale dates. They're just appealing to certain captive audiences like Facebook users, Amex card holders, etc. It's all marketing, folks. Just wait until the regular on sale dates, and you'll find much better seats. :nod:

Yep. Of course, TM makes it sound like the presales give better results than the general sale, so you better take what you can get. I hate how manipulative and deceitful they are.
The FB presale was just as bad as the fan presale during the SYW tour. I was fooled into buying a ticket in the back of the floor the first time. Never again!

I bought row 37 on the floor during the first Amex presale. Nothing better came up for the FB presale, even when I just looked for 1 ticket. I will try when they go on sale to the general public.
If this helps anyone, I'm going to just be happy to see them all together again. The tickets are way too expensive. But I try to think of it as wasting maybe $100, not $200, because I fully expected the tickets to be at least $100. And in the grand scheme of things, $100 isn't such a huge amount of money. I know, it's rationalizing ticket prices that are absurdly high, but I want to enjoy the shows and not worry about it. But I totally understand people who decided just not to get tickets.
Anyway, On With the Show... :)

Is there a huge difference between being in the back half of the front floor section and the front of the middle section? I don't think I'll be rushing the stage, but is there a huge difference that makes waiting until the general onsale necessary? I've never been on the floor in an arena for one of their shows so I'm not sure what I want to buy just yet. Help?

Myself I only get floor seats if it is within the first 22+- rows. Being in the rear section of the floor is unappealing to me, you are basically watching the screens like the cheap seats. Although, like mentioned before, you have a better chance of getting to the stage having a floor seat in general. If I'm unable (rarely) to get a ticket in the front section I opt for a lower arena side seat.
The facebook presale has seemed fruitless. I looked for one for Sunrise and basically just mid sections of floor and side seating. I'll wait on this venue till the week of the show. I have tickets for Tampa and just for the heck of it today tried the facebook presale and nothing at all was available.
Good Luck in your search.

Besides a few markets in California and possibly a few in the Northeast I doubt they will run out of tickets. I really think it is far too early to worry. Even on the night of the show there will most likely be ads on craigslist and people at the venues trying to sell tickets. If the price was more attractive to all ages the potential to sell out would be far greater.

I think it really depends on which city(ies) you're looking at.
I'm personally worried about it for Atlanta, because it's the only show in the Southeast basically (not counting the 2 FL dates, which I don't, because they're kind of their own secluded thing).

I always say these special pre-sales are a joke.I was reading somewhere about a new rule with the ticket outlets and the venues supposed to hold good seat tix for the local box office for tix by phone or in person at the venue box office .
Did anybody read or heard the same thing.
I tried the in person box office route years ago and they had crappy seats.
Did had good luck calling The Turningstone casino in 2010 for a Stevie show on the first day of general tix sales.I scored front row seats at $125 bucks.
I almost died and felt like i won a million bucks.
All this is a advertising gimmick to make people sign up.

depends on the band. Pearl Jam for example have been very vocal against scalping. they make all their tickets available at TM the first day of the sale. for decent prices.
of course band and their management has to actually care about something other than making tons of money. FM is not that kind of band.

The best no-scam tickets I ever bought were for Miley Cyrus in 2008 or 9. EVERY ticket was printed like a receipt when you got to the actual show, (the people that scan tickets normally had a very small printer strapped around their waist like a fanny pack) and you had to have the name match and the exact same credit card you bought the ticket with. It's a shame more shows couldn't do that!
And not to mention, our seats were awesome. In the pit behind part of the stage, if you imagine it shaped like a T, behind the cross part/runway.Not that it matters! ;)

I got section 122, row 19 for Chicago. Granted, it's the last row, but it's lower level and not too far from the stage on Lindsey's side. I got it the first day during the AmEx presale. I looked on the Facebook one today to see if there was anything better, but all the options were much further back. I figure an issue is I'm only buying 1 ticket, and they generally want to sell things in pairs, so there's not that many single tickets available right now. I'm going to keep looking, but am overall happy with this ticket.
deluge
04-03-2014, 05:38 AM
To my knowledge, Ticketmaster does not carve out single ticket inventory vs. pairs of tickets. If there are any seats, you can buy them as a single ticket. So there should be no issue with you or anyone else wanting to buy 1 ticket, they don't throttle the inventory of tickets to try to sell them in pairs.
(With the one exception: Platinum tickets, which I believe cannot be purchased as singles.)

I borrowed my brother's Amex card and clicked in exactly at 10 am on Monday for the Houston show on Dec 15. I decided to get four seats, though the only person going so far is ME! The best I could get was in the lower bowl, left hand side as you are facing the stage, row 6 aisle 120, about mid court if you were at a basketball game.
The tickets weren't cheap, $179.50 each, but they only added a $5 order processing fee. Toyota Center does not use Ticketmaster.
I had thought I might sell any extras on Stubhub, but apparently I have to use Flash Seats to resell them. I had never heard of Flash Seats. You show your credit card when you get to the arena, like you were at an airport.
Can't wait for the show. I don't see many concerts anymore, but for some reason this one has really got me intrigued.
This is an obsolete joke. I've tried several times. I just get the nosebleed section! Then when I keep trying, I get nothing. This has got to be the worst presale I've ever encountered! :distress:

Similar to the other presales this past week, searching on Ticketmaster for just a single ticket, in the "Live Nation Presale" that went on sale today, the best that came up immediately at 10:00AM sharp was all the way back on the floor. Checking repeatedly to see if anything better might come up, lower level all the way back after the floor ends is what kept coming up.
Waste of time. Again.
In my opinion, these "Presales" are designed by Ticketmaster to carve out and sell average-to-poor ticket inventory to fans who see the word "Presale" and assume that they are getting access to special tickets because they are "Presale".
This is one of the many reasons I hate Ticketmaster. And the band and its management has a role in this, as well. They could do this different and better for fans if they wanted to.

Kubrick2788

Same. The results are taking ages to come up (I've been stuck at "Your wait time is less than 1 minute" for about 5...) and each time it's nosebleeds for MSG, Newark, and Philly. Such bull****. I'm really hoping Monday isn't the same cluster**** and I can get semi-descent seats. It's a shame that tickets haven't even officially opened up to general sales yet and I already think I'll have to buy through Stubhub.
I'm taking my mom to NYC and going with my best friend to Philly, and both are a little "meh, what are you going to do, as long as we're there!" about nosebleeds. Am I the only one who thinks it's kind of a waste? I just kind of think that if you're going to be watching them on a screen, why not just sit at home and watch a concert video on YouTube? I want to be able to see them in person - it doesn't have to be front row, but actually close enough to see their faces! A video isn't the same.

Wow, I'm glad I got the tickets that I did yesterday. Could not get ANYTHING for both the venue presale and the LiveNation presale for Chicago. :(
Granted Sec 105 is in the back of the arena on the lower level but my seats are near the front of the section, (excluding Rows A-M which are the literal front of that section) but I think my mom and I will have a great view of the entire stage. She didn't want floor seats like I got last year, and I don't either unless they're front row and I'm not going to pay Mick's prices. Plus, I'm short.
Will have to see what Monday brings.

Live Nation Presales are BS like others and worrying about their sponsored presales.
I just got a call from my friend at lunch time .He just told me the local radio station has a contest on winning 3 tix to the FM show in Hartford.He said the tix are 5 row seats.
I never had good luck winning radio station contests in the meantime.
So dont forget some of the good seat tix are reserved and go to these radio station contests before they go on sale.

A quick StubHub lesson: not all of the listings are "real"; some are speculation by brokers, meaning if you have the means to pay the exorbitant prices asked, then the brokers will go and find similar or better tickets and still make money. You can really see this when they cannot deliver the tickets till a day or two before the show.

Yes, I am correct. Stub Hub has them. How do they get them so close when they don't even come up in the presale? :shrug:
Lee :distress:
Fleetwood Mac/ any performer gives tickets to resellers for a pecentage of the higher price, as for presales only a few sections/ seats are available not the whole arena
which is kept track of so when you see an increase in the following tour thank everyone who bought from a resale agency

Right. People were wondering how StubHub had tickets before they went on sale. Stubhub was just confident that it would get tickets.
Sometimes, you can even buy a ticket and then be told afterwards that they don't have it and will find something comparable or better for you.

You may have to clear your cart and start over. I know it's probably too late for you to read this now since you've probably bought your tix (or not) but that's what I had to do, especially working with interactive seating charts.

Not too late, and I didn't have anything in my cart to begin with. It just wasn't allowing me to leave a single seat. It even has a message that goes with it asking you to buy the companion ticket or choose something else that isn't one of two left in a row. Weird. And a little stupid.

this is RUDE and money grabbing
some people only want ONE seat
some people don't care who they sit with ... hullo we're all fans :D
on some of the seating maps, the only available seats were TWO seats in random rows ... that is ridiculous. What if you wanted 1 seat or 3 :shrug:

It's awful. I realize that they want you to buy in pairs because having only single seats remaining makes it harder for them to sale, but once tickets start costing $500 - $1500 each, they should just stop being greedy and let people buy singles. For every two people willing to buy together, I am sure there are individuals who would buy the single seats for these big band concerts. Maybe not for smaller acts, but yes definitely for arena acts.

i don't get this! I assumed American prices would be higher, but floor seats for Toronto start at $217 on ticketbastard, and can cost upwards of that from stubhub. Your total would probably only come to around what ours do before tax. Grrr.

The notes they have at the top of the presale page say such and such are side views.Are these the only tix they have for the presale or is that just a reminder note?I'm not very experienced at this in case you couldn't tell.:o
Well, not exactly were I wanted to be, but I don't think they're that bad. This is for the 2nd Philly show, Section 124, on Christine's side, so I think I'll be able to see OK. I have a nice zoom lens on my camera, too. :nod:

I have friends buying tix for that second leg. I told them I didn't think the AMEX pre-sales were any good. I seem to remember lots of people getting offered crappy seats. Was that the case? Is it worth it for them to try? I suppose it depends on the market. They will be trying for Lincoln and KC.

I've seen them in Kansas City twice, Tulsa and Des Moines. The tickets there will drop tremendously before the show! I would tell your friend not to worry with the Amex pre sale, as I don't find their tickets to be very good. For Tulsa and Des Moines we were able to purchase floor seats the day before the show, Des Moines were front row!

Not all of them are front row. It's the first 5 rows I believe. You have to buy them through Ticketmaster or whatever outlet that particular venue is using.
Here's the breakdown of the M&G package via Ticketmaster:

It depends on what show you're going to and what venue it is. Most use Ticketmaster, but I know some have used a different site.
I'd check with the venue website and if it redirects you to the Ticketmaster site, then they use Ticketmaster.
I've never bought tickets during the AMEX pre-sale, but from what I've heard on here you have to use your AMEX to pay and the code for that is the customer service number on the back of the card, which depends on what card you have.
