Especially if it was for your birthday. That kind of behavior makes it suck more.
I am so sorry that happened.

Thank you

I'm glad more dates are added, but no matter what I am going to the AC show. Just so I can meet you guys!! Even if I get row 500.

Hello, just joined the board today after reading for several years.
I was originally going to get a $76 in the back, because i am pushing 40 and getting cranky about having to stand up at concerts lol.

After coming up with various seats during the day which i passed on,
I was able to pull a ticket in 104 row 2 at around 5:30 this afternoon.

I believe the next ticket that came up after that was the 105-7-15 someone had mentioned.

well looks like the ticket prices are slowing getting to normal....ACticketguys.com has 3rd row center stage for 497$...you have to buy 2 or 4. Good deal or should i keep waiting??

[HowardK]

I would just wait until the week before or buy now and upgrade which would be cheaper than paying the $500. Plus I am always skeptical about brokers to being with,

Welcome to the Ledge HowardK !!!!!! And that seat rocks! I have section 101, row 4, seats 11 and 12. (at least it is the seats closer to the stage) Kind of paranoid about being on the side, but I think it will be okay.
What number seat are you in?

[SandyMac]

Just some reference to go on ... I Googled the capacity of this venue and it is 5,000 and the capacity for the Boardwalk Hall that FM played at last year in Atlantic City is either
12,000 or 13,800. So, it does sound like for people like me on the side a little on the floor, it hopefully will still have a good view of the stage.

I also went searching for videos on youtube from this venue and it looks like there are screens, that look like they are part of the venue and not part of the stage set up the artist brings in I think.

Hi Howard and welcome. Congrats on your ticket! Hopefully we can organize some kind of Ledgie meet-up before or after the show and you should come!

She did around 300 in the initial on-sale. Stevie did around 900.

I know it shouldn't, but that makes me really happy.

I was hoping someone who's been to the Taj and understands left and right will clarify something for me. (I seriously often infer the opposite of what is true when reading seating charts)- Ok, we know that Section 103 is best section, dead center, where Stevie's mic would be. True?
I've always noticed that she seems to start her 'Edge' walk to her right, on stage. For the audience, it seems the 'Edge Walk' starts from our left.
To my reading of the seating chart, which I doubt being adept at, it seems to me that Section 105 is to her farthest right, so is this where The Edge walk would start? Or, am I backwards, and it's actually Section 1o1 where she would venture off to, first.
Also, some casinos I've been to don't seem 'set up' for an Edge walk...Is The Taj?
It really seems to me that Section 105 would be the furthest audience 'left' section down front, is that correct?
If it turns out that Section 101 is the correct answer to my question there I go again. 'Don't tell me to turn right at the end of the exit, I'll turn left" to semi-quote SN from the US Festival in '83.
Thanks for those willing to answer, I'm trying to decide which tickets I want.
