Need Ticket advice

[SNLB]

For me, I just bought tickets a few days ago from TicketBastard and got very nice seats in the loge section close to the stage, but not so I would be looking at the band from the side (or the back). Why they would even sell tickets behind the stage for a band that faces the front of the audience is beyond me. I happen to be checking for tickets as they were dropping them in last week for a So. Cal. show. Before that drop-in last Wednesday, I was pulling up tickets in the nose bleed sections off to the side of the stage. I looked last Wednesday for Ticketmaster's version of "best available" and they had floor, row 25. That's too far back for me so I tried pulling up lower level and they brought up section 210 in loge, which was still too off to the side for me. Finally, I called them and ASKED them for the section I wanted and they had two tickets in the section I wanted. Now I see tickets are back to the 400 nose bleed sections for this concert. Ticketmaster now has a toll free number so you can call and ask them for a certain section. Also, I'm guessing that the I Love All Access tickets won't sell out so if you're willing to wait, eventually (and, if you're in the right place at the right time) those unsold tickets will drop in and you might score some choice floor tickets. Your other option is to go to the box office the night of the show. More times than not, they drop in excellent tickets about an hour or so before the show. And, if you buy from the box office, you won't have to pay the idiotic service charges Ticketmaster charges. From what I've been reading here, sounds like there have been several two-fers and discounted tickets this FM tour, and that surprises me. Good luck.
