Also, is it me, or do y'all think Taku got Bette and Stevie on board.

Come to think of it, that does seem to make sense. It seems like everybody else on the roster either 1) comes from Nawlins, 2) lives in NY (Bette Midler, Simon & Garfunkel, Lenny Kravitz, Buffett) or 3) was already scheduled to play in NYC around 9/20 (Elton, Elvis, Fogerty, Loggins). Stevie is definitely the odd gal out! Bless her heart... she's probably there out of respect for Taku and his in-laws, as well as the goodness of her heart.

Also, did you notice that Rod Stewart mysteriously dropped out of the line-up??

I know - maybe he had a conflict. I also hear his voice is on the out, but that is a wild rumor.

I think La Nicks and Bette Midler will do something together, maybe with Elton John or S&G. It should be an interesting evening. Sadly, I cannot go and am rather pissed about that

Lenny Kravitz is also from N'Awlins!

No, I hadn't noticed that Rod dropped out.

Wow, 10:04 and not pulling up anything close to good. Only the $175.00 tickets are coming up (for 2 seats). I wonder if as usual better seats will emerge closer to the show? I did pull a $500. single seat up, but it was section 94, which is off the floor about half way back! I figured the $500 seats would be the first few floor sections, or at the most the entire floor.

Yeah, I thought that was weird. I suspect this is going to be attended by lots of muckety-mucks. And it is being underwritten by Bear Stearns, so that guarantees lots of rich, fat, middle-aged white men with their trophy wives sitting in the front sections. And I'm sure American Express Gold Card holders have their seats reserved as well. Such is life. I suppose it doesn't matter when it's all about charity.

I got my $100 seat, which wasn't too bad- Section 103, Row A. Hopefully that means I'm at the front of the section and will have an unobstructed view. Definitely bringing the binoculars though. Oh, and for once, no ticketbastard fees!!!

PROMENADE 100 LEVEL SEATING
US $50.00 - US $500.00

LOGE LEVEL SEATING
US $175.00 - US $500.00

PROMENADE 200 LEVEL SEATING
US $50.00 - US $175.00

FLOOR SEATING
US $175.00

PROMENADE 300 LEVEL SEATING

If you tell it you want the $50 ticket, or whatever, that's what it will pull up.

If I could get off work, I'd go in a heartbeat. Worthy cause & once in a lifetime experience to see all of these artists in one night. Go for it.

:sigh: I know. I took a shift on Wed night a few weeks ago. If I would have known.....

My poor body can't take another quick trip like this....even though it wants to badly.

I never buy tickets when they go on sale. I learned my lesson too many times

UnwindedDreams · #25 09-13-2005, 07:30 PM

floor seats are 10,000.
