    Full seat map is now up so you can see seats available. Is the Friends and Family presale still going on? At some point they probably will release those

    Sorry, I'm an idiot... f&f sale doesn't end until 11:45 PM. Still no $100 seats remaining under f&f that I can see.

    I think the two left-most and right-most sections' seats toward the top are the $100 ones.

    Anyone know what percentage of these we can claim as a charitable contribution for tax purposes? I can't see anything on the tickets and the lady at the box office had no idea.
  • JG64307

    Or does the fact that they aren't listing "fair market value" on the ticket (which would tell us what the charitable portion is) mean that Townshend and Vedder are collecting all our money and taking the tax break themselves?

    For those looking to sell their $250.00 extra tickets I might be interested if my buddy is willing to sit by himself. Still looking for two together. Just not at $500.00/ticket.
    Do you know what it's like to fall in the mud and get kicked... in the head... with an iron boot? Of course you don't, no one does. It never happens. Sorry, Ted, that's a dumb question... skip that.

    I don't think any part of these are tax deductible... usually they'll put a value to it or have you buy directly from a charity, but since these are from TM w/ no stated value I don't believe any of it can be deducted.

    The whole thing is to raise money for a 501(C)(3) charity. Someone's getting the deduction. It's either us or Vedder/Townshend. TM is just handling sales logistics.

    Same thing happened in the case of the Katrina show in 2005 - tickets were $1,000 through Ticketmaster but there was still a way to deduct (minus the "value" of the show price, which I think was $40?).

    Not that I think anyone here would bite, but I might have a spare single in the $1,000 price level available if someone's looking (will consider slightly less than face offers). Section 104, Row G.
