Well I am a little upset. For starters NO CANADIDAN DATES !!!!!
Now I am ina quandry asto whether to go to the states or to wait and see if the tour does reach Canada ( Ottawa Ontario hopefully). I am afraid that if I wait then I will never get to se them. I hope they release the dates soon and get a move on on letting us know of the second leg.

I am so extremely depressed right now. I have been saying for a year now that I would be there on openinig night. I just checked my school schedule and I have a final that very day. All I can hope now is that they open in a city close to my home. But I doubt that that will happen--no one ever starts their tour in LA. I think I'm gonna go cry now.

Of all the luck---stupid finals!!!

I know exactly how you feel...I have my uni. finals starting that week going right through to the end of May. It sucks! I don't mind not seeing them on their opening night, but I was looking forward to flying to the U.S. to see them in L.A., especially since the UK is once again looking unlikely (Mick seems to like yo-yo-ing the Brits' emotions)....so hopefully they won't play there till at least early June. We'll find out soon....!

I've already warned my hubby that this will be another $500/2 seat concert. I'm using my part of the tax check to get my 4th row seats that I had at The Dance show. I LOVE legal ticket scalping!

If you're going to a scalpe- , um...a "ticket broker", then yep, that will get you about 4th row. I hate dealing with them, because the markup is so ridiculous. But I did it for The Dance show - 2nd row - and it was worth it. Still, I'm finding that I have better luck now with a fast internet connection the day tickets go on sale. But I guess it depends on the venue and the number of tickets. If someone really, really has their heart set on a great seat, they just might have to go the scalper route.

A great way I've found to nab good tickets is to check with Ticketmaster (or whatever agency is contracted to sell the "face value" tickets) either the day before, or day of, the show. 99% of the time, new sections of seats open up due to more room is available after the stage is set up or the Sound booth is arranged. Also, check with the will-call window to see if any unclaimed tickets have been released for re-sale.

Thats exactly what I did for the Rolling Stones show last Tuesday, Instead of paying $150 for a ticket in the reserved section I payed only $50 for mine...After the stages were set up there was a bunch of great tickets available up until the time the Stones took the stage...Brian J.

That's what I paid for 4th row at The Dance, and it was well worth it! I am too paranoid that I will not get a good seat, or a seat at all if I wait until the last minute. That's why I say hell with it and go to a broker. So, maybe I am crazy, but I'm a crazy with a damn good seat!! FMac is'nt the only band I've paid good money too see. We saw Petty on the Echo tour with 5th row, and I think I paid $300 for those. That was hubby's first concert up front and he about had a heartattack! He LOVED it, so he don't complain too much. And long ago, an ex bought us front row to Metallica, and that is what hooked me on good seats. I got to shake all their hands and even chatted with one of them for a few minutes. I put no price on memories like that!
