Come to the South, Lindsey!!! We've always loved you here!

[elle]

the only meet and greets announced so far:

• Northampton (not available anymore - already sold out during presale?)
• Providence
• Ithaca

since the rest of the east coast dates have been announced today, and some of the venues already display pricing and details i'm guessing we've seen all that we'll see of M&G...

sorry if i got anybody's hopes up.


EDIT: Delaware date that went on sale today has a M&G VIP package - includes front row. So now these are places with VIP packages:

• Northampton, MA - $125 (not available anymore - already sold out during presale?)
• Providence, RI - $100 (sold out in 2 mins)
• Ithaca, NY - $100 (still available, but just balcony seats)
• Wilmington, DE - $140 - available

Speaking of these $paid$ for meet and greets,
anyone seen video of these occurrences? I've
seen stills, but no video.

M & G price @ World Cafe Live in Wilmington DE is $140 & on sale...gets you a seat in the front row.

did LB ever do paid M&G/1st row VIP packages prior to this tour (except announced but canceled UK/Ire dates)?

the unannounced M&G he did in NYC last year was free.....

Now he's getting sociable and fan friendly in his old age?

if you reach back in your memory
a little bell might ring
about a time that once existed
when money wasn't king
if you stretch you imagination
I'll tell you all a tale
about a time when everything
wasn't up for sale

there was this cat named Lindsey
who loved to play and sing
when money wasn't king

we'd all get so excited when
Lindsey would give a show
we'd raise the cash between us
and down the road we'd go
to hear him play that music
it spoke right to my soul
every verse a diamond
every chorus gold
the sound was my salvation
it was only everything
before money wasn't king

well I ain't sure how it happened
and I don't know exactly when
but everything got bigger
and the rules began to bend
and they raised the cost of living
and how could we have known
they'd double the price of tickets
to go and see Lindsey's show

they sat in golden circles
and waiters served them wine
and talked through the music
and paid to Lindsey, paid little mind
and way up in the nosebleeds
we watched him on the screen
they'd hung between the billboards
so cheaper seats could see

Lindsey rocked that golden circle
and all those vip's
and that music that had freed us
became a tired routine
and I saw his face in close-up
trying to give it all he had
and sometimes his eyes betrayed him
you could see that he was sad

there was no use in pretending
no magic left to hear
all the music gave me
was a craving for light beer
as I walked out of the arena
my ears began to ring
and the money became king

hmm... i don't know, $30 - $60 for a ticket doesn't seem exorbitantly expensive. many other shows i see in similar-size venues are about the same price.

and VIP M&G tickets for his shows are ~ $100. golden circle tickets if there is a golden circle are $50-60. and there are no nosebleeds in those little intimate venues he plays - in fact there is no bad seat in the house - and no jumbo screens.

How weird is that?!

Does anyone know how easy it would be to get meet and greet tickets online? Say if I tried to order them promptly at 10:00 is it actually possible to purchase them without personally standing in line or paying 300$ when someone puts them up for sale on stubhub?

seems to be really different from venue to venue. Northampton and Providence VIP tickets sold out within minutes (but Providence had only 12 tickets supposedly; other 3 venues had 20). Ithaca and Wilmington are still available.

Hmmm. Thanks! Right now our plan is to go to the one in Columbus and if that doesn't work out then we'll try Munhall, PA. AND IF THAT DOESN'T WORK OUT.... I guess we will have to resort to overpriced tickets from stubhub. There's no way I'm passing up a LB meet and greet.

Just an FYI for columbus meet and greets - I had no luck with ticket master but was able to score 2 VIP meet and greets in the second row by calling the box office at the theatre, not the ticketbastard number.

[GoldDustGypsy]

How are the rows numbered at the Southern theater? I'm in Pit L row AA and I have no clue how far back I am.


BUT I DID GET VIP TICKETS WHOOHOWHOWHWOH. So I'm really not that worried about being a few rows back.
