Tickets

Either we've underestimated the interest for this, or there's something wrong with Ticketmaster's system.

I'd be willing to bet THAT has a lot to do with it.

Can't pull anything up for Mohegan Sun right now.

I got a third row and a seventh row for Dallas through the pre sale first time I've ever not been in the nose bleeds.
This will be the first Stevie concert my best friend and I will be attending together. Anthony lives in Philly and I live in Texas. We met because he mentioned Stevie in a letter he wrote in to the New Titans comic (Issue #74) that was published in the back of the issue in 1991. I wrote to him on a whim and we've been best friends since. I am so incredibly excited to share this concert with him.

Yes .I hope they drop for you and the rest who want to go.This is ludicrous and BS this is happening.My luck is probably due to only needing one ticket and just luck from upstairs.If I could not get a seat today or the next few days and got a nose bleed seat for cheap.I would except it and would be open for good seats up to the show . I've done that a few times and got great seats like Stevie's Mansfield show years ago and got a EO17 handshake that night.I took a chance with face priced scalped tix that night and wrote scalped mine or wrote it off.I cant remember what I did with it.

sorry some of you are having problems. I had pretty good luck with the presales for Philly and NY. Going to both! Decent seats are still coming up for Philly.

I agree about the LA show. Tickets have been horrible. I was online the minute tickets for LA went on sale--sitting in the Denver airport waiting for my flight back to So Ca--and couldn't get anything. I kept having problems with the robot screening, then error messages, and then the website kept crashing for about 10 minutes--and then nothing decent at all.

I just looked a few minutes ago and our LA VIP seats are selling for $2000+ each--and you need to buy 4 (so much for the limit of 4 seats--they just sold them to these scalpers). It will be interesting to see if anyone is stupid (or desperate) enough to buy them.

I tried again on the last day of AMEX resale and found a seat in the first level on the side. It's not great but sound will probably be better there--and it was for face value, $150.

In contrast, Phoenix still has great selection of VIP seats and lots of others. I so wish I could get off work that day and fly home to AZ for that show!!!

Hope this gets better for the rest of you who are still searching for tickets.

$2000 bucks .Definitely the industry should be looked at.There is no way in the world that a concert is worth that much.

I'm curious how they're even going to manage selling those $2000 tickets. Since the VIP tickets are at "Will Call" and non-transferable, aren't they risking being caught scalping?
And, as if the price itself isn't outrageous enough, they're selling four for that amount.

This has all become such a racket. It was so much more fun to buy tickets to see FM and Stevie years ago when prices were affordable and you just went to the venue or outlets a few hours before they went on sale, stood in line with everyone, and then got the seat(s) you wanted. Now it's just become a big racket and the joy of that experience is gone.

As much as I wanted to see Stevie tour again--and have been seeing her in her solo tours since her very first tour--I just feel depressed from this experience (especially after going through this with FM's last tour).

I agree .Its getting worse.I blame it on the big shots."promoters and who ever behind the scenes" cashing in on the bands and artists .It should be looked into.My tix are "will call" only.I've done it before.Atlease I saved on the printing and shipping charges.I just have to remind myself when I leave home and not worry about forgetting my tix at home.

Stevie/ bands have a say on ticket prices , vip , platinum seats and which and how many seats go to "resellers"

[editme2]

So it looks like, at least for Boston, they're not selling tickets to the upper tier of the arena. That automatically lowers the capacity to about 8,000 to 10,000 seats, which is much more manageable for Stevie.

Same at Golden 1 in Sacramento.

Does anyone know what the VIP merchandise is?
