On the plus side I was able to easily secure seats in Chicago(Bridgeview) so I'll be going to both shows!

(I'm almost positive that if I wait until about May I'll see some Alpine tickets available...)
Have you tried again, David? :)

Penny, some BN'er sent me a PM and mentioned the exact same thing. So I was able to secure a ticket for the show! (I'm so happy I get to see another venue :D)

In 2005 I was in 'A' row 8 seat 23. I was the one in the group that was farthest away from the center, so I guess the seats run right to left, going low to high, I would think (looking at the stage).

got 3 tickets for atlanta show.. section 205 row NN...
i got in quickly, wait was less than a minute and the first tix it offered me were at back of reserved, tossed them back, tried a couple of more times, tickets no better, tossed them back, couple of times it said, "try another ticket quantity".. kept on and after about 10 minutes managed to get the ones in 205... i think they were mixing up the seats on release... as the ones they offered me the first few tries were all over the back section of reserved. took a chance on releasing tickets so many times... but had studied the seating chart and knew what i did not want... that helped alot.

Oh, that would be awesome!!! I'm in Field C, 6th row, low seat numbers, so that would put me more toward center than I thought. I really HOPE you are right!!!

I was on line when the tix went on sale, thru the prelims...how many, where, what price,type the code etc, and had a wait of 4 mins when my clock turned to 1002. I asked for 6 on the lawn....no good. :cry: :cry:
Same thing happened last year. I hate Ticket Master.
Col Angus is an acquired taste. If I wear out my welcome, just tap me on the head.
You've only got two options, havin' fun or freakin' out.
