So many questions!
AMEX preferred requires use of a password-8004923344, which is the GOLD card customer service phone number. The regular AMEX presale doesn't require a password. Both require an AMEX card as payment. Most of the time, no seats worth buying are found in a presale, but you may experience otherwise. There is usually no difference in seat selection between the AMEX options.
If you want to use a friend's card, you can use YOUR email address to get etickets even though you have to use their billing information.
The top price of $146.50 will get you a floor seat or a close to the stage lower level. There are no other options, right Elle?
