Ticket Tips

Motley Crue had a VIP package that cost less than the Queen one and you actually got to meet the band. I am glad they are coming back but they are taking a huge risk with these VIP packages and ticket prices. I hope that the entire thing does not backfire on them.[/QUOTE]

Well if nothing else, they dropped that "backstage tour" BS. Now if they would just drop Artist Arena. It's a shame to see those people at Artist Arena rewarded by this band for the bait and switch scheme they pulled on those who did the gold and platinum packages for the NJ and LA shows. Just because Artist Arena puts a CD and a DVD in a metal box does not make it a "box set." Sheesh.

This is my first post; I wanted to just add two cents about ticket purchases. I went for the Gold VIP package in NJ (ended up in row N, right next to catwalk), and got all the 'promo' goodies, spending nearly $800 for the pair of tix. Certainly, I felt this was worth it, being a die hard fan of the band since '75. On the day of the show, I thought I'd take a look at Ticketmaster, since I decided last minute to bring the kids. I got a pair of tix in row K, right along the catwalk (and was able to keep an eye on the kids all night, from just three rows behind).

Reviewing the VIP package for the 2006 tour (and I have to echo others' thoughts I've seen posted here and/or on QOL), I can't see putting that kind of money out again. I think the band may have misfired here, assuming that the market across the US is going to be as strong as it was for NJ and LA (when a lot of folks thought it might be the only chance to see them). It was a tremendous show, and I'd love to see them again, but -

Only NY area show posted at this time is in Long Island, in an 'arena' that has been crumbling down for almost 20 years? And putting these up for sale (at these prices) right around the holidays? Is the thought that fans will be feeling generous, and not mind shelling out the big bucks for these VIP deals?

I think I have to ride this out, to see if anything gets announced for some place like MSG; and I would wager that better seats would be available closer to showtime (when the reality of non-sold packages surfaces), then to tax yourself on the stresses of 'pre-sales', which (from my experiences with other bands as well) do not offer the 'best' seats to the truest fans, like you folks on this board.

Sorry if I strayed from topic at all. Thanks for your time.

I bought the 2005 tour jacket in Hollywood. And I must say it is quite nice.

Good info in these posts....

Please keep us all informed how the presale(s) go for those fans with the earlier ticket sales.

I'm glad I am going to be a spectator for the first few presales. Will be interesting to watch the drama unfold..;-)

Good luck everyone!

I was extremely lucky at the hollywood bowl...originally bought a cheap ticket way at the back...just before the gates opened they released a couple front frow seats for $200...and i got to touch the stage!
