Jacksonville Ticket Sales... Y'all aren't gonna believe this!

The ticketmaster stage map still does not show the catwalk. To me it makes the difference between being up against the catwalk or 15 or so rows back. I called the arena and they say no catwalk. hmmm I guess we will find out on Sunday

We got our tickets in Belfast for £40. That's about....what...sixty dollars? We were at front-of-stage.

What's with this $200 shit??? How are these prices being charged???[/QUOTE]

EXACTLY!! That's what I have been saying for months. They just can't charge those kind of prices in the US. There isn't a large enough fan base. They don't seem to realize that.

I would bet my life that the Arena has NO idea what they are talking about. There have never been any seats in Section 2 available for one thing.

It was the same thing with NJ, the venue had no idea about a catwalk, but yet AA showed a catwalk on all their seating charts.

If there isn't a catwalk, I am screwed over for seeing anything. It had better be there.

Love of my life may not sound so good with only 40 people singing.

Perhaps if there are only 40 of us there we can make special song requests.

I just pulled 2nd row on Brians side...

Pity that I can't find a way to go.

I just found third row for chicago....8 of them together. Hmmmm......I should have been more patient. GRRRRRRRR

So, you people are all high or stupid, right?

Here's how it plays out. . . The one-for-one tix are up in bleeders - no surprise there.

Front row pops up on Ticketmaster a few days before the show?? This is a big surprise how? Sorry, but if you follow these things, it's pretty simple. Tons of comps get pulled early on and then get dumped back in right before shows. If you keep an eye peeled, you can usually pull great tickets within 1-4 days of a show.

Are you people serious???

My plan all along was to wait until the last minute to get seats. Sure I paid $200 for them but I knew if I wanted good seats I was going to have to fork over the dough. There is no way they'll discount those seats. I knew that the best seats were pulled right away for VIPS, etc and the ones that weren't needed were put back in to the pool for the general public about a week beforehand. I won't be buying Cleveland tickets until a week beforehand either.

The concert will not be cancelled. No way.

A lesson that people would be well-advised to learn. . . Wish I could be in Cleveland for the show, as it's Danny's birthday, but we have other commitments.

It's worked for any number of concerts over the years.

Can't wait to see Q+PR here in DC next week.

No shit, but I have NEVER seen THAT many tickets up at the front a few days before a show, LET ALONE front row. We are talking 20 or more seats, nearly the whole front row in the non-Brian side. It's all because of Artist Arena's "VIP" crap that these seats were not available at face value earlier.

I truly hope a nice Jacksonville redneck buys a 35.00 seat and sneaks down and sits next to Mr Ray D.O'Gaga and screams his hillbilly head off.this is what happens when you overcharge for this.people dont come then later Bri will say "um it wasnt us who set these prices,but we will get to the bottom of this".Hey Bri-it is you!!.Prices are set to meet you demand per venue you dim bulb.wake up and smell the ,um,well,TEA!!

I know I'm new here, so I know that my input is pretty much a fart in the breeze, but this is along the line of what I posted yesterday about NY and Philly. Even today, 6 tix in Philly can be had in row 4 on Brian's side (same as yesterday). Howwever, if you punch up 2 tix, Ticketbastard drops you 15 rows further back. This happened (happens) repeatedly. Why wouldn't they simply make these seats available in 3 pairs? We all know about last minute releases of seats, but this defies logic. I can't get 2 in row 4, but they'll be nice enough to let me have 6?

Totally predictable...and predicted by me, and others, months ago when we saw the schedule. These guys are nuts too book that many large arenas....they have been gone way too long...and were not that huge even in the 70'/80's (here). I know they sold a lot of seats back then...but EVERYONE did. Times have changed. We'll see....but I think there are going to be some bruised egos here.
