Is it best to buy tickets at the Borgata box office Saturday morning in person?

I think if you are close enough, it wouldn't hurt, but if you can bring a phone with internet access or a lap top that might be a good idea also. I once waited at a venue to buy tickets and just as they went on sale, their computer went down!

How did you do?

Well, I stayed home and used the computer. I bought a couple, one in sec. 300 Row 15 and one in sec. 400, row 3 (but right side) . May have to relinquish, bring somebody, or trade up later one of those. I usually move up quickly to an empty seat anyway for the show.

I got gold circle tix! But it was after some trial and error. The system is screwed up. When I started, only ***** was popping up, but after a few more attempts, I got the goods.

Yes, Borgata does upgrade you on the night of the show (from one price tier to a higher price tier). But I don't think they do exchanges within the same price tier. I've done this only once. So maybe the best strategy is to buy a cheaper seat now and hope for the best on show night.

I also got section 300 row 15, which really are excellent seats to begin with. I had about the same seats last time she was there and got upgraded to 2nd row. If you go to the box office an hour before show time you can ask if they have upgraded seats available.

I pulled up section 200 row 5. I wasn't planning on going but I figured why not. Well, since my name and email address are ten miles long the system timed out. Guess I'm not going. Good luck to the person who got Section 200 row 5 seat 5

I pulled up fourth row section 300 about ten minutes after the sale started!! BUT they were supposed to be "saved" in my cart and weren't. I lost them.

A few minutes later I pulled up fourth row in sections 200 and 400 and stupidly threw them back. So I have no tickets as of yet. I want my fourth row sec.300 tix back. So if anyone out there has them, hand them over. LOL

I'm really happy, I've got the best tickets I've ever got. I've been feeling sick for almost 3 weeks now, and my mom surprised me this morning with 5th row tickets in section 400!! It was a great surprise, the closest I've been was 11th row with Fleetwood Mac. I can't wait!

Is this going to be opening night of the solo shows? Or at least the first night where she might do new songs?

Those are great seats! I think anything in sections 200, 300 and 400 are really good!

Heaven help you if you are in 100 or 500. You may as well be staring at a wall for two hours... because that's what you'll be doing!

The Borgata Events Center is such a small room. I would not be surprised if Saturday night was added.

I don't really remember those sections, but from the seating chart, it looks like you're right! At least if you were in the first couple of rows. I think further back wouldn't be too bad.
