Hey everyone!!
I just bought tickets through Preferred Seating for the third or fourth row. WOOOO HOOOO! We booked for the second show in Brisbane, on Wednesday, 16 December. I know the official people say there is now only one show per city, but they’ll be doing second ones. Our Brisbane show is the FINAL show of the whole Australian tour as well, so should be excellent!!!!
For questions about Preferred Seating’s actual seats, well…be careful. For the huge places they’re playing, you could be right up the back on the floor and it’d still be classed as A Reserve. Preferred Seating says that their tickets are sold at a premium because they are EITHER advance access seats (in this case) or they are considered to be so-called “gold class” tickets.
We’ve used them 3 times (and again now), and haven’t been overly impressed. We used them to book Stevie’s solo concert tickets in 2006 in Brisbane, and infuriatingly, upon receiving the tickets (and yes, they don’t tell you what seats you’ve got till right before the concert when they come in the mail), we found they were in Row S. Not exactly amazing for the money we paid for “premium” tickets. We then went online and checked the normal Ticketek sales and found (and this is the infuriating part) that Row G (and who knows what else, this was just the best available) were on sale. ROW G! We couldn’t afford to buy them on top of the lesser tickets we’d already paid for, so put up with Row S.
The last time we used them was for French & Saunders and we got Row ZZ. At first I was appalled at this, but then realised once we arrived that we weren’t right at the back, but rather in the middle. Still not great seats though, but in that case the event was in such high demand, this was considered good.
Anyway, so watch out. This is why we didn’t buy A Reserve. We don’t want to end up in Row S again, you know? We’ve seen Fleetwood Mac before (in 2004) and Stevie when she was here in 2006 (both in Brisbane and on the Gold Coast, where we actually live), and all times we were a bit far back. This time we wanted actual GOOD seats, so we’ve paid the premium for them and guaranteed the goodness. Lol.
