Broker tickets

wondergirl9847 · #1 07-14-2005, 06:10 PM

I am looking at all the various brokers online and there are TONS of tickets for the Dallas show. Now, if those don't sell, do they sell them back to TM? What happens to all those tickets? I fricked up and lost some 3rd row tickets on Ebay this afternoon

but hopefully, since it doesn't seem to be selling well...I'm holding out hope that TM or Nokia will have close tickets Sunday or something.

I think they'll be hitting outside the venue to unload before the show.

And BTW, I didn't see any decent Dallas seats anywhere I looked when I was considering heading up there.

While I can never proove it, I'm fairly certain some reputable ticket agency end up putting their tickets back into the ticketmaster pull. If you look at different broker sites, many have the same tickets listed (which i've always found rather strange). Some will definitely be outside of the venue asking if you need tickets. Also, keep in mind, the band is alloted a certain number of tickets each show for family and friends and industry people -- many of those are great seats. If no one shows up, they also go back into the pull.

I will tell you what I told Jake -- if you can stomach waiting it out, DO IT and you'll end up with the first 4 rows of the pit.

I have tickets, but I wanted to be up front for my first (and maybe only) Stevie show. I keep checking online, and nothing good is coming up. 7th row has come up in the past week or two. Imma keep checking until the day of.

I agree, it's weird how so many brokers offer the same exact sections and rows.

Since my broker tickets arrived here today in proper order, I would like to recommend Metro Tickets. I got Sec 103 Row C Seats 1 & 2. I spoke with Doug, who was VERY polite and accomodating. The website said $250 each, but he offered them for $225 each and also threw in 2 Club passes for the VIP lounge and a VIP parking pass. I called yesterday and he overnighted everything right to my front door. I had been using Encore Tickets the past several years (they have always done me right), but they only had Sec 102 and I wanted to be in the center section, so I took a chance a new (to me) broker this time. Doug was extra nice-alot of other brokers are snooty and rude but he was just great. I haven't checked his site today, but as of yesterday afternoon there were still a pair of Sec 103 Row 3 seats left. If you can afford it, I say grab 'em!!!

Oops-I just checked the website and Sec 103 is not listed anymore. Section 102 Row C are still there though.

Encore Tickets...I've used them before and like them a lot. Never tried MetroTickets before. I used Ticketliquidators.com and called the 1-800 # this afternoon and bought tickets. The dude was really nice. The tickets were $142 on the website, and he quoted me $141, so I saved 2 bucks by calling in. LOL I am in Section 104, Row D, but I'll probably be making a beeline for the front as soon as I can. Hehe. Hopefully, we can meet up at the show! Perhaps all the Ledgies going can meet up somewhere at Nokia at some particular spot or row even if only to say, "Hey, I'm so-and-so."

Still trying to get rid of my other tickets on Ebay.

BTW, your seats are excellent, I was in Section 103 Row E for the Keith Urban show last year.

I meant to reply to your post yesterday, but we had that damn storm so I turned off the computer last night cuz the power kept blinking off and on. Sounds like you got an excellent price for your tickets!! I hated to go the scalper route but that seems to be the norm for me now for SN/FM tickets. Try and try as I may, I just can't get decent ones the old-fashioned way. Stevie's the only concert I do the scalper thing for anymore, so that's how I justify it to myself. I'm excited about the show!! I'll be the chick with the guy who looks just like Tom Petty.

I waited it out for the Charlotte show, since I had already seen her in Atlanta, and I got great seats (eighth row dead in front of Stevie) about a week before the show. Ticketmaster usually starts unloading tickets about a week before up until the day of the show. I would just keep checking Ticketmaster everyday. I know it is a gamble though.

Well, this will probably be my only Stevie show so I wanna make the most of the experience, so I went for the broker tickets. TM as of this afternoon...NOTHING close. I even called TM and got no human on the phone and it was too difficult so I hung up.

I think my mom and I stood behind you at the Dallas show last year. You were the girl in the hat, I think...and got Lindsey's autograph on something (dang, my memory sucks. LOL). I was the shortie standing right behind ya'll and got my OOTC record and a BN album signed.

Tom Petty! BWAH!! Maybe your boyfriend will get called up to sing SDMHA with Miss Stevie.

HEE HEE! He couldn't possibly sound worse than Waddy! I adore Waddy but the singing is just too painful. I keep thinking one of these times Stevie's gonna notice my BFs Tom thing, but it never happens. Maybe he should wear a vest and hat. OK he's gonna kill me now

.

I remember seeing your OOTC album going over my head and thinking, wow I didn't know that was out on vinyl. Been keeping an eye out for one ever since. Totally cool you got it SIGNED. I got my "Trouble" 45 pic sleeve signed. It sits on my dresser so I can see it every day. Wasn't that great? Lindsey was RIGHT THERE!!!

The first thing I did after ordering tickets was delete my TM bookmark! I didn't want to be tempted to keep looking out of curiosity and see something great for face value. I hope we have a better behaved crowd this time

. I just know it's gonna be an amazing show.
