Presale Tickets
 

Does anybody know any details about Presale tickets that go on sale April 21st? Are they meet and greets?

I don't think there was w/ Seattle. That would be amazing.

Not sure about the others but I'm probably attending the Toronto show and presale tickets go up on the 21st while regular tickets go up the 22nd

Some cities (Chicago) have pre-sales for Citibank card members. I called the Fox Theater in Detroit and their presale is for members or Redwings ticket holders

it seems no. which is too bad. i want m&g tix for the first few rows - which would also raise the prices for those front rows and make those tix easier to get.

many of these venues are performance art centers and have regular members supporting the arts and art education with large donor ranges and they get the first dibs. in Wolftrap for example, 3.5k / year donors can already get the tickets for all the shows going on sale on Apr 22 (which includes BuckVie, Sting, etc). so it will be interesting to see what will be left for non-member on sale.

So first presales started today. Any luck?

As I read it, Nashville presales weren't supposed to be until Friday, BUT my friend just posted that she JUST got good tickets(even though the venue site said presale wasn't until Friday, apparently today was a Citibank presale, and ALL the good seats are gone... which is bull****!). She messaged me, and told me that there was ONE lone ticket left on the map, 4th row center. So she bought it for me! $161!

So I'll have to sit by myself, but who cares? I don't wanna talk during a 4th row center show anyway! :angel:

I was browsing the Boston presale and "saw" 2nd row was still available an hour after the on-sale; this might have had to do with TM not accepting the Citi code, but now it's working.

Chicago Citi Pre-Sale
 

Section 207, Row X was what was offered right at opening time. Not much of a benefit to having a Citi card.

As of right now, the only show close to me is the Toronto one and I don't have the right credit card holder. I'll just have to wait until the 20th

Waiting for an LA date.

check your messages.

No luck with the Raleigh Amex presale. Best I could pull (right at 10am, mind you) was row V center or row N on the side. I eventually called and the Ticketmaster rep said I'd have a better chance at good seats on Saturday. We'll see... :shrug:

I snagged an orchestra pit ticket for Detroit! (Amex presale) Looks like there are 2 left. I went thru the official Buckingham/McVie site which took me to Ticketmaster.

Stubhub has a few tickets in center section within first 10 rows.

Denver had seats halfway up. Not impressed.

This is the one concert I will pay up to $750 for one seat as close as I can get. I could go as high as $1000 for front row and I will be there will roses for Christine. This is a ONE in a lifetime event.

Same here. I'm still waiting for more venues in cities like NYC or LA, and if we have no luck, then I'll pack maybe three venues, buy my tickets on StubHub (no matter how much I'll have to pay) and buy my plane tickets. :blob1:

Check out stub hub now. I bought 2 tickets for Chicago today--4th row center section. $600 total. I kept reading the description out loud to make sure I didn't misunderstand the listing! I was prepared to spend more so these tickets are a bargain.

I purchased one ticket for Atlanta (Chastain) during the Citi presale yesterday (Tuesday). Here was my experience, in case it is helpful for anyone else (YMMV as they say):

- The moment that the Citi presale tickets went on sale, the best ticket that came up was very far back from the stage, half way back in the venue. I passed on that, and continued to re-try.

- For the next 10-15 minutes, similar tickets far back from the stage were all that continued to come up.

- Then maybe 15-20 minutes after the on sale time, suddenly lots of pit (reserved) tickets - far left and right sides of the pit (not center of the pit) - came up.

In my experience going to a lot of concerts over the years, I've sometimes seen a few great tickets come back into inventory when other customers didn't complete their in-process purchase. But I don't think that's what happened in this case. There were so many pit tickets that suddenly came up at once, I suspect that Live Nation intentionally held back that ticket inventory for 15-20 minutes, to harvest sales of tickets much further back from the stage during the first 15-20 minutes.

Anyway, I was able to get a 6th row far side ticket. I'm very picky about where I sit at concerts, I like being within the first couple of rows center, and I have a strong preference to not be sitting at the far right or left side of the stage. But 6th row is very good, and hard to say if anything better will come up during the regular on sale, so I purchased that ticket. Big picture, I'm grateful to be able to see Buckingham McVie in concert soon! And I wonder if Mick and John will be performing with them?

- Note 1: With all the concerts I go to, I've learned over time that if you re-try checking tickets too many times within a short a time, Live Nation (and also Ticketmaster) will temporarily suspend your ability to check for or buy tickets for a while (long enough to effectively shut you out of getting the best tickets). So heads up, don't re-try too many times within a short time window!

- Note 2: official (and very expensive) Platinum tickets were the only way to get close up center pit tickets from Live Nation yesterday. I'm guessing about this: it appears that the venue may have offered advance ticket sales to its season ticket holders or corporate partners, because front center tickets were already on sale on Stubhub yesterday.

Got my pair of tickets today. 29 rows from the stage in Raleigh, middle front section. Couldn't sit directly up front cause of the wife's hearing issues but this is damn well worth it. Closest I've ever been to any Mac-related show yet.

My experience with the Amex presale for the Detroit show was the same. Tickets at first were for rows S, T, etc. After 25 minutes I got one ticket in pit 5 on the right side in the second row. I couldn't believe my luck. Guess they were holding back those seats. I even called the venue beforehand and was told season ticket holders got first dibs. So grateful I kept trying.

for Detroit, there are 3 separate single pit tickets showing on TM right now, each in different section and row.

Vegas tickets are going fast. The AMEX presale has almost all the front sections gone before the regular sale on Saturday.

Snagged two tickets for Detroit last night. Center row B 160 each off stubhub:wavey:

I'm feeling a good amount of jealousy for you. :woohoo:

Good for you! I hope these shows sell out everywhere

Officially going to Toronto. Anyone else?

Got my tickets! :blob1:
