AC Ticket Tips

GavinBrown · #1 08-16-2007, 10:36 AM

Ok guys, so I am definently going to the AC show next week and am psyched about it. This will actually be my first trek to AC since moving to NYC earlier in the year. Those of you who know the venue and have been before, when should i really be looking for the good seats to get released? Since its at a casino I know some are saved for the highrollers and such, but i wanna make sure I get the best seats possible. Any help is appreciated....btw, is there such a thing as a stage door at this venue? Would love to get a snapshot of stevie coming out of it...haha

ps-any particular places i should see in AC? best casinos? etc...

you will have to let us know how the show was and if it was the same setlist as on the crystal visions tour.

Of course it will be the same setlist. I am 100% certain of that and I think most people on here have already figured that out also. There's no way Stevie's going to change it for one show let alone an entire tour.

Gavin,

From my experience, the good tickets usually are released anywhere from a week to a few days before the concert--and people have had good luck getting them at the box office the day of the show, but I'm just not that daring.

Even the last time when the concert was "sold out" I got second row seats a few days before.

Um, the Borgata is a really pretty place, as far as casinos are concerned. But it's not completely representative of Atlantic City (which, some might say, is a good thing). It is NOT on the boardwalk. For viewing, dining, etc., it's really nice. The venue is really nice. For gambling, I haven't ever won a thing over there. I prefer the boardwalk casinos and I can't even tell you which one is "better" because, I guess, if you're gonna win, you're gonna win. I tend to hit Caesars, the Wild Wild West and the Claridge...just because my bus usually takes off somewhere around there;-)

So, if you want to have a full Atlantic City experience, I would hit the boardwalk and then take a jitney (these funky little vans with no shock absorbers...they throw in the kidney exam for free!) to the Borgata.

Atlantic City's boardwalk itself is something you'll either love or hate. I love it. I spent many summer vacations there as a kid (pre-gambling) and all the kitschy, somewhat weird stuff still appeals to me on some strange level. There is a mall (across from Caesars), and about a million little tourist trap stores selling junkie souvenirs, and there are fortune tellers and funnel cakes and all kinds of oddities.

And the ocean is RIGHT there.

Anyway, that's your official tourist update.

Stage door at the Borgata? Not that I've ever seen, but that doesn't mean it's not there.

If nothing decent comes up by Friday noon, I'm afraid I'm just going to have to take a leap of faith and drive down and try my luck at the box office.

I think the Borgata has consistently rewarded the procrastinator, so I think it's a pretty safe risk. Still... it sucks to have to spend a summer Friday afternoon on tenderhooks...
