    I'm hoping for an Amex presale actually. :D
    The problem is it was first come first serve at the box office till me, my brother and a few other fan got in a shoving match with the cast of The Hills have Eyes (scalpers) who claimed they were in line for hours. Ever since then they hand out numbered wristbands (up to 500) and do a lottery drawling.
    Good luck to you all sorry if I made anyone's blood pressure to up haha I'm sure we'll all find a way in.

    I can't even get into the account link 81 posted. And when I try to click on other artists concerts, those links doesn't work either.

    In all seriousness I hope everyone here gets a ticket, it was frustrating seeing all the scum scalpers (I counted around 30) waiting in line for spectrum shows in 09. Not to mention they all ordered the max amount of tickets and the box office employees knew some of them by name.

    Why the fuck hasn't personal tickets gotten standard by now? That you can only sell back through ticketmaster if you can't go.

    True but I don't think it would put you at an advantage when the initial sale begins( when the system pulls available tickets from the database)

    I noticed that too. The bar/food/bathroom thing sounds nice but that is a pretty penny. Id probably go solo instead of dishing out for meand the Ms.S's if I go that route? What about you Star map??

    Is that superbad?

    I just called all the way to USA and bough two tix in the VIP BOX. On the map it looked like you could score way worse in the ordinary sale...

    but maybe I was mistaken?

    If you are coming from overseas you made a good decision. You would probably end up paying more on stubhub for worse. Not to mention all the amedities that come with it. I'the kinda guy who likes to be prepared so you just covered yourself completely and now have nothing to worry about. Which show are you going to through VIP? I might go solo to night two to save money

    Yeah. My sister is turning 30 on saturday too so I don't know if I have the time to sit on the internet trying to get tickets + my travelling friend thought it would be fun to try watching a show like this (and it's cheaper than what it would cost over here). I'm going night 2, the first night I have fanclub tix.

    But, the buffe was not vegetarian in any kind, and the guy I talked to even said that made it not the best choice for us being vegetarians. But, I don't care for that :)

    And I'm still worried about the seats, they are far back. But as been said, I might score worse tix or have to go too ebay paying more for worse tix.

    I just secured 4 tickets in Box 3. There were only a few left in box 3, and 15 left in box 4 (further away). Matt from WF center said it was crazy how fast the tickets were going. Both nights are going to sell out fast.

    My thought process was that if you get shut out (or only get upper level) tickets on line, then you will easily be paying 2-300 per ticket on secondary resellers. Throw in the booze and food for three hours, and it became a no brainer.

    Throw in there that I have reserve for the next night and I can deal with not being in the center of the action for a night.

    Welcome to my box! :)

    But you have night1?

    I have GA for night 1, and VIP box 3 for night 2 (I really hope I said the right date to the guy... the 22nd is night 2 right?)

    Yeah, I think we are opposite. I'll be in the box night 1, and down low for night 2. Same box number. Good point though, the availability I quoted is for night 1.

    Other thing to keep in mind... I asked if these are transferable and he said 'Yes'. We'll get tickets UPS. So if you find another GA, or get better tickets, I'm sure these could be EASILY liquidated. This was definitely the way to go.

    Being in Sweden, I get mine in the email in about three weeks.

    But I can re-sell them? If I get two pretty good tickets on saturday I can transfer these to someone else on this board who needs them or some other friends who might join us on this USA adventure?

    That sounds great.

    AND - are the highest level of seats in the arena (the ones above the boxes) also being sold? Because... then Iäm nore lucky.. don't want to land one of those...

    Yes, they are selling all seats (except behind the stage but who knows). My guess is that it will be basically sold out by 1030 AM EST. The boxes have I think 7 rows and it looks like about 8 seats each.

    Did you get to know which seat you have?

    I only asked in my broken english "are these the best seats left" and he said "yes". So I hope I get... decent seats, in this decent area of the arena. A bit afraid I said the wrong date or by mistake took one seat insetad of two. Hopefully I get an email soon showing me the info of the purchase.

    Haha, I wonder if it's ok to sing along up there. Only used to european GA areas where everyone sings their heart out...

    Maybe there's just a bunch of suits up there driking martinis and not even looking at the show... haha...

    My friend/girlfriend only wanted one show, and two shows max. Thinking about maybe going to one of the NY shows by myself. But feels a bit weird visiting the US and splitting up... so I guess I will settle for the two Philly dates. :)

    If you hear someone speak swedish and not knowing how to act or socially behave. That's me :)
