I decided not to do the presale for Columbus.... I hope I don't regret that later. What do you guys think? I pulled up row T or something on the floor... Although now Ticketmaster isn't letting me look at tickets for that show... Odd.

I've been trying getting a seat for Glendale with the TicketRush presale, but I keep getting the same two seats over and over again and just don't want those. How frustrating. This is only my "obligatory" ticket, but I still want something decent.

Tacoma presale sucked. I had the Live Nation password as well as one for a local radio station. AmEx was already up, and then at 10 AM today, literally about 8 new presales popped up! At first, I was pissed that I didn't have the passwords for all of them, but I soon realized they all allowed access to the same pot of tickets. I pulled up the exact same seat through Live Nation that I did with the radio station. The Tacoma Dome will have a front floor section of Rows 1-12, and then a rear floor section behind that. The entire time, I was only able to pull up seats in the rear floor section, and I am only looking for one seat!

So.....another vote for regular onsale.
(Which has been the case for me when it comes to just about anything for a while now.)

I got my "obligatory" ticket from Ticketsnow, because I was fed up with the presale seats. Got 10th row.

I had to get 3 for Tacoma and made do with the crappy row 25 offered via AMEX, but at least they are in the centre floor section. I was nervous that for 3, I might do worse later on.

I'm unlikely to buy anymore at this stage. I have Tacoma and LA. Other CA concerts during my holiday, I will wait and see what I can get a fews days before.

Well, I tried today for Anaheim and San Diego and found crap seats. Worse for Anaheim, probably because it's a saturday night show. I'm thinking a LOT of tickets are being held this time for the "VIP Packages" too, which I'm not interested in. If I'm gonna pay THAT much for a ticket, I want to know exactly where I'd be sitting. My plan for now is to play the waiting game for both, but I'm mostly interested in the San Diego show. I'm sure all of the tickets they are holding for the "VIP" thing will be released eventually. (The ones that aren't sold, at least.) I'm glad to have the advantage of waiting, as my shows aren't until the end of the tour, to see how/when tickets will be released for the earlier shows.
