Thank you for the confirmation / ending the BE speculation.

Back to your initial post: I didn't check tix for MNPLS as I assumed that would be a sellout. Curious to hear if anyone tried to get tix on the day. There are tix available for some shows I have checked, mainly upper deck or back rows of the lower bowl so not yet complete sellouts. Still lots of resale options for those willing to spend $$. I am not expecting many drops.

Steviegirl: I am not 100% on this but I think Prince had his own gig the same night. I do not recall specifics, just some tweets.

Quickie- is there typically a time of day tickets tend to drop? Morning or evening?

[louielouie2000]

Has anyone noticed any ticket drops at all this tour? I've been checking periodically for the Texas dates, and so far nothing. Dallas is this Sunday, so I'm starting to lose hope. It looks like the shows this tour are selling out quickly with zero tickets dropping later. Or has anyone else here experienced anything different?

I've been checking for Dallas this Sunday too and nada. VERY disappointing, but I might keep checking even tomorrow and Sunday morning, although there is 99.9% chance I will not be going at all to this particular tour. I despise seeing concerts here in North Texas as everyone is more concerned about getting drinks and running to the bathroom every 5 seconds. I think we all know how crappy the Fort Worth audience was at Lindsey's Bass Hall show....sans the few of us die-hards.

Was considering going to the Oklahoma City show in March, as I saw Keith Urban there many years ago and it was wonderful, but it depends on ticket availability.

I'm almost to the point where I am just....over it. Seeing arena concerts, I mean. I will definitely be seeing Lindsey when he tours solo again.

I wish you could just pay someone to check Ticketmaster all day long for tickets for you, looking for newly released seats. I think that would cost less to pay someone to do that, than to pay the stubhub price for tickets.

There is a guy who does that for Springsteen tours. He charges $10 per show and sends a text alert as soon as there is a drop. Works great.

PHX dropped a bunch of side stage seats on the morning of the show.

Someone told me tickets were just released (Ticketmaster.ca) & lots of them for the Toronto show in rows 6-11 on the floor.

Sounds like there's been better luck as far as drops the second leg of the tour? I did Detroit with two family members and due to my own precarious health we bought day of the show and had the first row side stage. It was an interesting experience and I got some cool shots of Lindsey's guitars. But I also had side but not quite so far over in 2013.

I'm going single to Rosemont, IL and I haven't seen anything good yet. I'm going to be in Chicago with my car on a vacation (that I actually rescheduled for the Rosemont show, boy hotels are cheap right now in Chicago but since the show itself is Valentine's Day the hotel prices almost double that night!). But point is I can wait. I'm bummed because the seats I just saw were worse than last week so it has me questioning things.will be my second show of this tour so if I end up off on the side again, I'll deal but both shows I've been on the side, Lindsey's side, so I'm sort of hoping for something better.

What do you all think my chances are of finding something better? I mean yikes, it's still $200 and tax for those far on the side seats so if I'm going to pay $200 again I'd actually like to be able to see the whole band (I couldn't see John at all and only the few songs Christine got up to the mic in the front could I see her, got a fun shot of Steie turned back at Mick with her tambourine but mostly I have everyones backside in my pictures! But that's what the side seats are like if anyone wonders. First show I was on the side but could still see front of the stage, this was ideal and ultimate,y best seats and viewin the house beyond those right up front on the floor!) Anyway I figure since I only want one I have a chance.

Also, do any of you buy from Stubhub? I know I've heard of people being burned though not sure that was actually stubhub or some place else. Have you had good experiences? I've never bought through them for anything though I've had friends get seats to otherwise sold out shows that way so... I just have this huge fear I pay money and show up and get told my ticket is fake or something.


Edited to add- has anyone bought tickets through craigslist for a show in another state? How'd you handle it? I see some floor seats on Craigslist Chicago but I'm in MI until four days before the show so I'm not totally sure how I'd manage that or if these people would actually want to wait until I was in town, suppose I could wait until I'm in the area myself and see what's available.

For the Pittsburgh show there were at least 2 tickets drops that I saw but they went fast. I think at least 30 tickets in rows 5-10 were showing up about a week before the show and then the day before there were another 10 tickets or so put out there. At my work I have 2 computer screens so I just had ticketmaster up all day and let it refresh which is really the only way to get these good tickets since they were gone in less than a minute.

Got a 3rd row balcony seat earlier today for the Dallas show tonight-- been checking constantly for weeks and there was nothing until today. I'm in the perfect location, side-stage on Lindsey's side. Can't wait!!

[nightbird89]

Just wanted to let all know that a bunch of tickets just dropped for the Cleveland show, few in the first 10 rows. Found floor 1 row f, good luck to all.

[FM77]

Vivid Seats and Ticket Liquidator have some good seats for Lincoln well below face. Floor and side stage.

My wife and I have great seats to the Kansas City show (center floor, row 18) but we were wanting to take on a second show in Lincoln. Two weeks ago, tickets were going 50% over face value. We just picked up a pair of tickets on the floor, row 16, for $275. That's $275 for the pair!!! We bought them from a nice young man who said wasn't able to attend (he transferred them to us through Ticketmaster). But there seems to be a lot of reasonably priced tickets that are flooding the market.

Before Ticketmaster and the internet , I had to go to Ticketron by ordering on the phone.A couple of times I had my mother and sister work the phones when the tix went on sale since I was at work.I got great seats then.

I cant recall if it was any better then now.Tix were cheap and I dont recall of any drops then.

Back then the concert tix were about the price of a tee goes for today.

Also It was a pain in the a$$ then finding out when Stevie or FM and other of my favorite artists were touring.No internet then and had to call radio stations and listen for info on a 20 minute concert update recording which took about 3 tries to get all the info on the dates and times of the shows.

RollingStone was another good source then.
