    TM tickets sold out in like 2 seconds for Chicago last year but about two hours later I happen to have obstructed view seats pop up and I took them right away. I ended up getting pulled from the back behind a poll to the very front row to lean on the stage all night by an Eddie staffer. The entire first row of that show were people that were plucked from the back. It was awesome!

    I got tix to the EV solo show in NYC from ticketmaster last year after a VERY frustrating experience on 10c. :evil: I was able to get to 2 tix for the show, but both my boyfriend and I were poised and ready when the general public sale started. I got them within seconds of the start of the sale. Almost immediately my boyfriend (who was acutually across the room from me doing the exact same thing at the exact same time) got told they were sold out. I would say it's worth a shot. The show was an absolutely amazing and unique experience. I would highly reccomend going if you can!

    live nation is extremely frustrating during high demand on sales. be prepared.

    I got tickets to EV San Diego through TM last year. 3rd row of the first balcony. :mrgreen:

    I got Boston I last year through TM at the exact on sale time and I got front Balcony seats. They could have been better, but we were just happy to get in the building after being shutout through TC (just like this time). I got DC I the day before the show at about 2pm and sat 8th row. I was also able to get NJPAC tix a day or two before the show also. I'm not saying there were hundreds of seats, but the shows I waited for ended up being much better seats. I'm not sure why.

    After not winning the lottery, I'm thinking of sitting out this year's solo tour. I have great memories from last year (mostly because the douche bags screaming for Alive are fading out of my mind) that I don't want to ruin by seeing essentially the same shows again.

    To all going to the Tower, be smart and travel in packs. My sister's car was stolen at a Tower show and my best friend was mugged. My brother-in-law also escaped an attempted mugging at the 69th Street station. It isn't the worst neighborhood ever, but it is in walking distance to the worst neighborhood ever. Its a bummer because the venue is excellent.

    I got Chicago 2 by just going on Ticketmaster and following these instructions. They werent bad, to the left on the side. I would suggest only buying 1 ticket if possible for these small shows.

    I got them through TM.

    I tried with 10C but I didn't get to see the Buy button :lol: the day of the on sale, I was online, I had my husband online and a friend online trying for the same show to see who would get them, I got 2 they got none.

    I'm gonna try LN for Philly 2. If I don't get decent seats, I'm throwing em back and gonna resort to ebay. After being 12th row at NJPAC, I'm definitely spoiled. Seeing Ed that close was a dream. So I'd much rather pay the scalpers some extra money rather than sit in the balcony of the Tower

    In DC, tried to buy them the moment they went on sale at TM and got closed out. Ended up buying from StubHub, paid a lot, but it was worth it. Memorable evening and really worth it in a small venue. Good luck!
