Is This True About Ticketmaster/Playing The Ticket Game

[Musicman408]

I know the topic of tickets gets talked about all of the time, but seeing as how I'm the biggest Chiffonhead in my family, I have to make this concert happen. So, I'm the official get tickets guy, as always.

I recently heard that when tickets first go on sale through Ticketmaster, the best seats aren't released until a little later. Is this true? And if so, how soon? I remember when we saw FM in Nashville in 2004, we (family of 4) purchased tickets right when they went on sale and we got around the 8th row stage right. Anyone use or heard of LiveNation?I just want the best seats possible for the fam so that we, or at least dad and I can work our way up to the stage. So if any of you all can post some advice, that would be so greatly appreciated. I know I start a lot of threads, but this really is the only thing that I plan on starting for quite some time. I just need to figure this whole ticket thing out so that we can have a ball seeing Stevie for the first time solo. It's a dream come true for me. The prospects are Definately making my recovery go a little better.

And I guess since I have already started a thread, do any of you all have methods on how to work your way up to the stage, either for the whole show or for the edge walk. Befriend security or what? I know this topic has been talked about before, but I figured it would be nice to have all concert questions in one place so that I don't have to start 5 threads or whatever.

Much Love,
Ethan
