How to get/change MSG tickets?

edited May 2008 in Given To Fly (live)
I have tickets for the MSG shows in June. I couldn't get them by the tenclub and I was only able to get them from ticketmaster, but in a not very good location. I need 2 better tickets for each show (now I have 2 for the 24th and 4 for the 25th). Of course I know I'll have to pay...
So, I want to change them or buy 4 good ones and sell mine (face-value, I don't care). Which way you think is the best? ebay? I've seen some places like COASTTOCOASTTICKETS, TICKETSNOW... They seem to have plenty of tickets at very high prices, but I don't know how they really work and if they are "trustable".
Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

    Stubhub is great, just make sure you get hard tickets. But honestly, you should just be happy you have tickets. There aren't any good tickets online, the 10C has them all. The best they have on stub hub is at least 20 rows back in section 1 or 2 (on the side). They are going for $2500. Front row center is not worth $2500. 20 rows back on the floor are not good tickets.

    Just be happy you have face value tickets.

    Thank you for the information.

    I have the following tickets:
    - 6/24: Section 67. Behind the stage !!!???
    - 6/25: Section 114. Also behind the stage !!!???
    - 6/25: Section 402. Very very far... up to the left of the stage

    So I have 2 pairs to chose from for the 25th, but none of them are good.
    I'd like to take the opportunity to ask the people who's been to the MSG: How is a concert behind the stage?
    In Europe nobody sells these seats for a concert. I've seen the disposition of the stage in some concerts in the MSG where it is placed in the middle (something like a round stage), but this doesn't seem to be the case for the PJ concerts. So, how do they do it? Do they place loudspeakers heading to the back of the stage? Do they say hello sometimes to the people in the back?
    Which pair would you recommend me to keep for the 25th?
    Depending on the answer I'll try to get some better tickets or not...
    Thanks in advance

    wachovia 05 they turned around and played a "club show" for all of the fans behind the stage, i believe the quote heading into last kiss was "we used to feel bad for the people behind the stage, but we dont anymore because they have the best view of matt cameron on the drums all night long"
    Small my table, seats just 3, its not crowded, its just lucky me

    I was there for that show, and I've seen them do that a few times, and they always play last kiss. So if you are sitting behind the stage, they rub it in one more time by playing the worst song they have ever performed live.

    OK, thank you for the information.

    But, what about the sound? This is one of the most important things for me in a concert. How is it behind the stage?

    dude


    this is The Garden

    Everyone plays there or hopes to someday.

    The Song Remains The Same, does that ring a bell?

    This place is a shrine in rock and roll concert shows.

    the sound will be amazing, even behind the stage- even moreso if this is your first time in this historic building.


    enjoy the show, and do0nt get frightened when the entire stage and building seem to be rocking around you,.........

    if you are going to Buy better seats...wait ......
    there are over 800 tickets available on stub hub ....
    thats a lil less then 5% of the total venue... (1 in 20 seats WTF)
    (that pisses me off)

    Anyways, with 800 seats available those babys will drop in price closer to the show.

    Probably can make a cash and tickets deal the day of the show...

    THOSE are my thoughts....
