I don't think the prices were that much cheaper the last time around (too lazy to look for the old ticket stub).

I didn't go to Town Hall in 2006, but the Nokia show definitely wasn't that expensive. I remember getting second row for around $70. Here's hoping the entire orchestra level isn't the top tier price and maybe they have some VIP section. And if it is, well, I'll be in the balcony this time!

Nokia was definitely cheaper. But, Town Hall has been around since the ice age or something (and it is kept up nicely...much nicer than some Boston landmark theater I went to that had a hole the sized of Texas behind the toilets in the ladies' room and had a handyman come and reassemble some poor woman's seat a few minutes before the concert! That place needed to be torn down!)Anyway, if NYC landmarks can find a way to squeeze more money out of folks...they will!
But, it's a nice venue. Kind of cozy, too.

I've been there but I don't remember what the sight lines were like. I'm sure it will be fine, cozy is good when it comes to venues. I know it is used for a lot of high-end events and also relies on ticket prices for funding of their programming, so I'm not so much surprised as a little disappointed. At least I can go to HB Burger before the show.

I know. And I really do wonder what we will be able to get. Because I'm pretty sure the whole delay in selling these things was to offer tickets to members first. But...I guess we'll see.

I'm on vacation and holding up a beach date in order to attempt the pre-sale;-) I'm sure everyone sweating in the car will just love me!

8004923344 always works for me-it's the AMEX GOLD customer service phone number.

I was able to purchase Amex tickets without a password. I tried twice and was given Row M in the orchestra both times, so I just went with those, since it is 12th row center. I am fine with that!

Interestingly, the Amex pre-sale tickets were neither of the above listed prices but $83 each (including fees), which is much better than the $116!

Yes. You need an Amex card to complete the purchase. I have more than one card in my profile and the only payment option available when it was time to pay was the Amex card. I would imagine if you don't provide an Amex number for payment, if you don't already have one in your profile, they nullify the order. Maybe my order went through because they already knew I had one? I'm not sure if you can pull up seats without one.

I don't know, it depends if you want to spend the extra $40 to be a few rows closer! I didn't even have the option, the only ticket price available for Amex pre-sale for me was the $80ish one.
