I kept getting 2 options for Ft. Lauderdale- either midway on the floor or a lower level section close to the stage row 3, so I took the lower level one. I am so short, floor level seats are no good for me unless I can get in the first section.

seeing the GAGA and CHER shows still have plenty of seats and they have been on sale for months I may wait and see what is available the end of september beginning of october .... i don't see it selling out at these prices

The facebook AND Amex tickets (the first presale Tuesday at 10) were very mediocre for me. Anyone have more luck the the AMEX presale?

I had nosebleeds show up once for MSG, and I managed to accidentally purchase 1 ticket on the floor (far back, though) for Philly + 2 nosebleeds. I meant to buy the 2 on the floor but added things to my cart wrong. Ugh....... Any chance things will be better during general sale or am I going to have to suck it up and buy 3rd party tix?

I would expect a full promotional blitz(TV, newspaper full page ads) for Monday's general on-sale. There are already plenty of tickets on StubHub, and we are many months away from the shows. The prices will certainly drop as we approach show dates, so try not to sweat it too much.

how much are you willing to spend and remember next tour they're going to be even higher

I'll sell my tickets for Philly, if anyone's interested. TWO upper level Section 203, row 10, seats 13-12. ONE floor level, section 8, row 3, seat 8. Message me if you want them. I'll take face value because I don't want to cheat anyone here.

I cannot get any "pairs" of tickets for Chicago. It always says "high demand."

The thing about these "Presales" is they are marketing gimmicks meant to drum up interest & ticket sales for the regular on sale dates. They're just appealing to certain captive audiences like Facebook users, Amex card holders, etc. It's all marketing, folks. Just wait until the regular on sale dates, and you'll find much better seats.

Just bought Section 105 row 3 for Chicago. It's in the back of the arena but near the floor so my mom and I will be elevated a little bit. Didn't want to pass those up.

Yep. Of course, TM makes it sound like the presales give better results than the general sale, so you better take what you can get. I hate how manipulative and deceitful they are.

The FB presale was just as bad as the fan presale during the SYW tour. I was fooled into buying a ticket in the back of the floor the first time. Never again!

kathy1 · #42 04-02-2014, 11:32 AM

no luck for me either

pattyfan · #43 04-02-2014, 12:08 PM

I bought row 37 on the floor during the first Amex presale. Nothing better came up for the FB presale, even when I just looked for 1 ticket. I will try when they go on sale to the general public.

If this helps anyone, I'm going to just be happy to see them all together again. The tickets are way too expensive. But I try to think of it as wasting maybe $100, not $200, because I fully expected the tickets to be at least $100. And in the grand scheme of things, $100 isn't such a huge amount of money. I know, it's rationalizing ticket prices that are absurdly high, but I want to enjoy the shows and not worry about it. But I totally understand people who decided just not to get tickets.

Anyway, On With the Show...

Is there a huge difference between being in the back half of the front floor section and the front of the middle section? I don't think I'll be rushing the stage, but is there a huge difference that makes waiting until the general onsale necessary? I've never been on the floor in an arena for one of their shows so I'm not sure what I want to buy just yet. Help?

sywlindseyfan · #45 04-02-2014, 12:41 PM

Hey everybody, what do you think of waiting for the General sale? I'm afraid that there won't even be any tickets left. Is this a rational fear? I am going to post this same thing in other threads until someone calms my nerves down, thank you.

What I don't understand is why the cheap 40-60 dollar tickets are only being sold for $118.00. This doesn't make sense to me!
