It's too early to expect the very good seats to get released.

And to answer your question, if you order tickets a few days before the event, you'll pick them up at will-call. Or I guess you can print them from your computer now; I've never done that.

Okay, thanks! You've calmed me down a little. My only problem is that I am spending the weekend at someone's house from July 8-10, so I will have limited access to a computer. I mean, it would be pretty rude to just sit at the computer all day. So, my fear is that I will miss the boat since I will not be checking ticketmaster like a madman that weekend. Or should good seats pop up before or after that weekend? Sorry I sound like a crazy person but I took everyone's advice and played the waiting game and now I've given myself a ulcer over this situation! LOL

Okay cool. I really didn't want to print the tickets out because I like to save them. That way, when I ask the question, "where did all my money go?" I can just look at all the tickets!

Hahah...I tried to avoid an ulcer by getting my @ss pounded by a ticket broker. Well, I got good seats, but now I have an ulcer because there's no money left in my bank account. Damned if ya do, damned if ya don't.

You could always call Sticketbastard and drive one of their customer service reps insane! LOL

Keep the faith!! You did notice that Josh got 4th row in the pit at 1 PM on the day of the show, right?

Really? 4th row? Did he get it at the box office or online?

I'm really tempted to do the broker thing too. But like you said, then a new problem arises- a dried up bank account!

He didn't say? He said he "pulled up 4th row," which to me, implies he did it online - but you oughta go on that thread and ax him.

I got mine from Ticket Connection in Houston because I was too impatient and scared to wait. There is a listing on ebay for four seats, I think, Right Row F maybe, for the Woodlands.

Now the Florida shows are like a week away and still no good seats on ticketmaster! Just nosebleed and lawn seats. I am officially screwed!!!

Somebody help! There aren't even any good Tampa seats available from the brokers... which is strange.

No - you're really not. The comp and broker tickets don't get returned til the day of or the day before. If there weren't good tickets last week, there won't be today. Hang in... you gotta wait a little longer.

Or, buy from a broker now.

I believe they let you keep the tickets after they scan them with the barcode reader. I don't remember what I did with mine though!

Even so, you could always just print out another one! I still have the PDF in my inbox from the Mansfield show.

Sorry if I sound like a nut job... this whole waiting until the last day thing is just making me so nervous.

I'm a nutjob too. My concert (heh) is this freaking Saturday and I still have no ticket! I think I may just have to wait until the day of and hope for the best. I was told that they release excellent seats like, an hour before the show to make scalpers less appealing. We'll see. I could always sleep with a security guard if I had to.)

Many "nut jobs" end up buying two sets of tickets, an insurance ticket just in case nothing else turns up at the last minute. Many fans won't take a chance on NOT getting in at all, but I don't think that will be a problem. I don't know of any show that has sold out for certain. Its HOT in Florida; I dont' see it selling out there! Buying two sets of tickets isn't necessarily fiscally responsible, but that's why some of us are nut jobs.

I was able to do that like 3 times on SYW, get front row at the last second, I think it was in San Diego, Green Bay, and Scranton, but otherwise, I havent head anything good come up either.
