I need your help...

I need help from you guys. I am going to the show in Charlotte, NC. I have the hotel booked. All the plans are made. Except. I don't have my tickets yet. I wasn't able to purchase them when they first went on sale, so really- what is the best way to do this? Should I try to scalp tickets the day of (I have been successful with that in the past, but it's so damned risky- I do not want to end up on the lawn) or do I try the venue itself the morning of the show? What about tickets on Ebay? There are currently 3 up for bid right now, but the bid is higher than it says I, as a NC resident, am able to bid. I'm so confused. Thanks in advamce to anyone who can point me in the right direction.

When's the date? Every show so far, good tickets have shown up days before, or people have gotten good tickets at the box office day of.

If it's tomorrow, I'd be worried. Otherwise...

Oh, not until July 9. I'm just freaking out in advance.

I understand, I'm freaking out for the last two shows of the tour. If I were you, I wouldn't start freaking out in earnest until....July....4th? Maybe 5th? The good seats haven't come up before until, like, the day or two before.

That doesn't necessarily mean you should wait, cause I'm not that psychic, who knows if they'll come up? But I, personally, am waiting. It happened for Vegas, too.

Thanks Amber, I feel better now?

I know, really. I'm questioning my own judgement on this one, believe me.
But then, I just saw Stevie. And also, I realized, during SYW, that I always want to be in front.

But there are stupid other brokers with all these great seats.

I mean, something has to be opened up, or be at reduced price, the day of, right? We've seen the numbers, Stevie is not selling out.

Amber, I HAVE to be up front. It's an illness, but I can't have it any other way. Once you've had it..well you know. Stevie always seems to skip over me, and damnit she is going to take my hand this time no matter what.

Me, too!!! I've been right there, and have been skipped over! That's why I'm so hot for the front rows!!! On SYW, the speaker box thingies were in the way. (which means I had great seats, right in front of Stevie)
For Vegas, my seats were too far back.

I feel your pain.
