Any idea what number or percentage of the approx 6,000 seats each night in LA were dedicated to us.

    Ticketmaster's cap is 10% I believe - if that's the case, all six-hundred of you each night are in for a treat!

    Although that is a generally accepted guideline, it is not a rule. The venue in Hartford certainly doesn't have a capacity of 48,000 8-)

    TC told me that (typically) they get 10% - 20% of a venue. I'm sure there are exceptions, like I think they may have an exception with philly because it's not a TM venue, so possibly different rules.
    ADD 5,200 to the post count you see, thank you. :)

    Hartford was definitely 20% last summer. It will differ for each venue for sure. Something tells me that at least the first Chicago show was closer to 20% than 10% but I wouldn't be surprised if the LA shows are more like 10% :)

    The one "good" thing about the LA shows is that there really aren't any horrible seats in the Gibson. So, if I have to use Ticketmaster, at least it's for a show where the odds of getting decent seats are better. I'm just happy on got 10c for one show!
