Advice for getting tickets for the 2nd leg?

[guitarchick82]

Ok, so I just found out that some more tour dates were added and when I saw that they are coming to Knoxville and Nashville in March, I actually started jumping for joy, because I'm moving to Nashville in November and with the scheduling of this first leg, my chances of seeing them were really pretty slim. But now that they're actually going to be out there--and in my birthday month no less!--I have to try and get tickets for this second leg!!

So any advice? I've done the whole Ticketmaster thing trying to get tickets for the first leg and nothing great came up. Ideally I'd like to get floor seats, but I know from personal experience that's not always the easiest thing to do. Tips from seasoned concert-goer Ledgies would be very much appreciated!!

Be on your phone, Tablet, computer or whatever you use and be ready to go at 955, as soon as 10 am hits buy your tickets. That's how I got floor seats for one of the October shows. It's timed, so be quick, but accurate when filling everything out.

About an hour to half an hour before tickets go on sale wherever you are, make sure your computer is on, your internet connection is functioning properly and be logged into your Ticketmaster account or whatever service your venue is using for this concert. Make sure also to have your payment info ready or stored/saved in your account for faster checkout. Those things are timed usually and if you don't have that stuff stored/saved, you can lose your tickets during the checkout process.

The minute before tickets go on sale (usually 9:59am) start hitting that refresh button but don't hit it too much because I've heard people would get locked out of the Ticketmaster site.

Another tip: Have the specific seating chart for your venue and this concert somewhat memorized! Go on the venue's website and see if they have a specific seating chart made for this concert. I made a mistake once of not knowing that double lettered rows (i.e. KK) came BEFORE single lettered rows (i.e. K) for a concert I recently bought tickets to and ended up being farther back on the first level than I wanted.

Make sure you have an American Express card or some other way to participate in the pre-sale, which is usually several days before the general public gets to buy tickets. (Here in St. Paul the pre-sale is this Monday 10/13.) And be ready to purchase tickets right at 10 AM. There aren't many good seats left by the time the general public sale starts.

Don't you have to punch in an AMEX code to access the tickets?

Fantastic! Thanks. Also, do you guys recommend buying the first set of tickets you get when they come up? If you're not happy and want to risk going for better seats, is there a chance there will then be none left?

Just wanted to know if anyone who's participated in the AMEX pre-sales in the past have had to use their AMEX cards to pay for the tickets as well as getting into the pre-sale with the code mentioned above?

Do you absolutely have to use that card or can you purchase them with another method?

I've never been to a concert before, never mind an FM one.

I was wondering if anyone could give advice on the purchase of tickets.

I want to go to Birmingham, UK and tickets go on general sale on Friday.

Will they sell out on Friday? Do I need to be by the computer at 9am ready to buy tickets or can I get them when I come back from work in the evening?

Where do I get them from? Ticketmaster, Livenation - what does all of this mean!? How does the purchasing work?

Thanks in advance for any help, and any other tips would be welcome.

Just a question - have they sold out all their shows?
