Fan Club Tickets Info

[Smokin Joe]

After sleeping on this info I thought I would post again. Last year, I bought my tickets on Ebay, 7th row, center section for a little more than face value. I thought that they were excellent seats. They were right on the isle so I had a lot of room to stand for the whole concert (by choice--not by necessity.) Now we are looking at row 30 through the fan club? I think NOT. $500 for a chance at rows 1 through 5? Not only no, but, HELL NO. This has really been a big disappointment for me as I have always had faith that they would do things right for us. As far as I am concerned they have flunked the test. I can no longer support the non-existent efforts of a marketing company that only wants to pacify us by making us spend more money and make us think we are getting something. How ignorant do these people think we are? Still no calendar/letter, generic emails and now this. The hole gets deeper and deeper by the day. I can't invest in tickets only to find out 2 weeks before the concert that I don't like where I am going to sit. I will continue to use the means that has given me a decent success rate as far as seats go. $500 X 50 is $25,000. At $95 face value for the tickets, where is the other $20,000 going? 50 laminates, 50 trips backstage, 50 Autographed tour books, a $25 gift certificate to their store, and, a t-shirt. We have all worked hard for our paychecks and I really don't think we are going to grasp at the little carrot they are dangling in front of our faces.
Good luck to those of you that are going to use the presale. I hope it works out for you all. Personally, I need something more concrete to work with.
