Hmmmm, this tour starts down the road in Sunrise a couple days before RUSH in Tampa 11/3. Last saw them here in 2008 the last show on that tour in Hollywood, FL as Roger struggled with his voice from a very bad virus/cold. He made it through and finished up with one of my favs Emenince Front.
I just might check this one out as more and more bands continue to play albums in their entirety.

Well, I bit the bullet and bought Fan Club bundle tickets today for Louisville, just so I could have my decision on how and what to buy settled. I got tickets in the second-highest range ($95 each including fees), and am in Section 109, lower level at the far end of the arena. The best I could pull up in the top price ($140 including fees) was in Section 3 Row D, about 30 rows back on the floor, so I went with the slightly cheaper option.
For those curious, there were four price tiers, plus VIP packages. My guesses are $140 was the back half of the floor and both sides of the lower level; $95 was the far end of the lower level, and the sides of the upper level; the next one down (I think around $70 with fees) was at the far end of the upper level, and the lowest one I didn't try, but I'm guessing it was a few rows in the corners at the far end. I opted for the lower-level far-end tickets in my price instead of the side upper level seats based mostly on the anticipation of video elements, figuring I'd prefer the straight-on view (like I had for The Wall a few weeks ago). And I've seen the Who relatively close a few times (16th and 20th rows were my best, just buying straight purchased tickets), so I figured I'd scale my spending back this time.
There were several levels of VIP tickets, and I think even the worst of them guaranteed first 20 rows, so I'm guessing at regular prices, you're not getting anywhere near the stage without relying on "ins" at the venues or gambling with ticket drops as the shows approach. Such is the business these days.
I have a feeling tickets will be sold below face value closer to the time of the shows......they are being very ambitious in their choice of venues!
Absolutely for the NY-NJ shows
I have found over the past few years that I save a ton of money by buying second hand tix
This is usually the case with large-markey shows.....I have learned that you can score cheap tickets for "buzz bands" playing in GA venues, bands that add second shows (the market value of the first show drops after the 2nd show is added) and many 80's/90's" acts/package tours that play in larger venues. Unless I am really set on going to certain shows, I try not to buy too many tickets in advance anymore.

Bon Iver is playing a few shows at the Beacon Theatre in September. I held off from buying the first show and now a few more were added. I can almost guarantee I will find tix for VERY cheap .
Welp I ended up getting tix for the MSG show. My mom is a diehard Who fan and while she also misses Moon and Entwhistle, still wants to relieve Quadrophenia.
Oops yes it is Radio City. I confuse those two often.
Go past all the VIP sections. Is ti saying no tix available or not letting you get through at all?
Says my promotional code isn't right. I just called them and the dude was super confusing in describing seat prices/locations. I've called AMEX and TM and both had trouble getting my code to work.

What code did you use? Inbox?
There's an Amex field you can use that doesn't need a code "American Express Cardmember Presale". If you have Gold or Platinum then you can use the "American Express Preferred Seating" field, the code is your customer service # on the back of your card

I didnt know that and I have a gold card
Now you know!
Haha thanks. I was only going for the $75 (after fees) tix anyway so I doubt it mattered much, if at all.

Yeah, don't think it did. BUT, definitely watch out for advance tickets on other concerts. Amex gets a lot of them. There should be an email list you can sign up for and if you're not on it, call that customer service number on the back of your card!
I'm still trying to decide. I keep thinking they have to add some Texas dates.
Well, I started thinking about that, but my buddies I'm going with, and I decided to do Tulsa cause I really want to see this show. Quadrophenia is a great album, so we just caved in. I'm gonna fly to Dallas, crash on my friends couch, then Thurs we will Drive the 5 hrs to Tulsa, get a hotel, and drive back Friday. I'll fly back to Houston sat or sun. Nice little road trip. I was surprised they did this. I thought the who was done cause of Pete's hearing loss being so bad, and Roger did those 2 solo tours in the last 2 or 3 years.

I have a feeling I'll go to Tulsa but I don't know if I'll try to make any other shows until I see if something closer turns up. I'm in Ft. Worth so Tulsa isn't too bad a drive. If they add a Houston show, you may get to see them twice!
I think they've held off touring more because Pete wanted to finish his book. There's been rumors of a Quad tour this year for quite a while. To say I'm excited is an understatement.
Forgot to mention I got tix to Manchester, NH; Section 208 Row G. Grew up listening to Who records int he basement with my old man, first time for each of us to see any of them.
Who fan without Facebook needs your help. I found this Pre-sale for today on twitter. Could someone like The Who Tour page and pm me the password? It'd be very appreciated !!

I just snagged my ticket for the Brooklyn show on November 14th.
Home of the Brooklyn Nets who will open their arena by playing the Knicks on 11/1
That's right! I travel to NYC for work four times a year and I stay at the new Holiday Inn Express in Park Slope just down the street from the new Barclays Center. I can walk to the arena or take a quick one-stop ride on MTA from Union Street to Atlantic. This is going to be a fun night.
