So, going to ticketmaster first, for a mediocre seat doesn't seem like a practical option.

This makes me so mad. I don't mind paying, but I do mind the "first 10 rows" thing.

Now, one option I tried for some Stevie shows was a ticketmaster auction. You bid on the seats and you knew what row you would be in. The seats were expensive, but not as expensive as ILAA and you also knew exactly where you would be. I wish they were doing those again.

What I don't like about ticketmaster is that you don't know where your seat will be at all, even if you're paying $149. Just in case I don't get anything at the box office or on the internet the day before - which I highly doubt after reading all your responses, but still - I still want to make sure that I got a kind of good seat and not something where I'm so far away from the stage that the people on stage look like stick figures. ... Hell, I paid 35€ for a ticket to see Bonnie Raitt a couple of years ago and I was two feet away from her, front row and center.

But then any ticket is better than nothing and if they decide to do a few concerts in Europe too, I could always try and get a better seat here.

Maybe I'm putting too much thought into this, but my heart is really set on this.
