Hi-

I bought tickets for the San Jose show after www.buffetnews.com posted the presale information last week. The tickets were $126 and also say VIP on them. Tickets then went on sale to the general public on Sunday for only $70.50 for the same section. Does anyone know what the extra cost and VIP is for? Thanks!

The lower parts of the lower sections are Club Level, which means we have access to the club bars etc which have really short lines. It's a short walk to them too. What section are you in?

San Jose VIP RIPOFF

Just heard from a friend that he was informed by the venue that there is nothing special about the VIP presale tickets other than the price. Basically we paid over $50 extra per ticket for the priviledge of purchasing our tickets through the presale. What a rip off especially since I bought 5 which added aprox $250 in increased costs. Please someone tell me he was misinformed.

your friend was probably right. you actually paid $56 extra.
the cheaper tickets were not offered for that pre sale.

1) It's a cash grab
2) You have a better chance of getting tickets
3) As many tickets as possible will be put on sale until the pre sale is over
