Just going to throw it out there,

Post by Cnsba »

Hey, Just a lurker every now and again, and may be on the wrong page , but here it is as clean as i can put it. Being deployed overseas in early May, will be gone the entire concert season. If anyone knows / can get a hold of a SINGLE , close to the stage seat to Orlando, I will gladly buy it off you for a fair price . Im going to try my butt off saturday, but never seem to catch a break closer than like row 18 .

Want to see the guy up close once, just in case i dont come back.

440-463-7150


Thank you
Sean

What I have to say isn't a guarantee. Many times the day of the show you can go to the venue's box office around noon and find singles close up at face value. I've known several people that have done that same thing. I believe Tiki bar and Balcony girls got front row that way once.

Good luck, and thank you for your service.

Just a warning in case you haven't seen the threads- if anyone contacts you to sell you a ticket and backstage passes, that you have to pay for via Western Union, it is a scam.

Hey Sean-

Just a quick suggestion...since you are only looking for one ticket, you may have a good chance at getting a good seat. Don't give up after the first few minutes... if you don't get what you want in the first 15 minutes...wait an hour or two...sometimes credit cards are decline and tickets get thrown back in

I forgot about this - sometimes the decline doesn't get posted until Midnight either - so check for tickets just past midnight.

This is great advice! It worked for me once and I ended up with a front row seat. Don't give up!

Good luck and thank you for your service. I wish you all the best!

If you want just ONE ticket--- You can usually get a great deal with TicketsNow and usually pay LESS than face value for great seats (within first 10 rows center stage)

May I echo good luck on all fronts. I hope you find a way to get up close and personal but DO be wary of scams, some not so nice lurker may read this.

I had two lawn tickets to a concert last year with a friend who had to cancel. I met some other friends at the venue and tried to sell my friends lawn ticket. I couldnt find anyone to buy it because the show was not sold out so i gave it away. I went to the ticket window around 2 to see what they had in the way of single tickets. The guy pulled 3rd row center at less than face value. I ended up giving my lawn ticket away too and watched to show from there. There is always a chance of getting good tickets on the day of the show at the ticket window.
I know I dont get there often enough but god knows I surely try

Keep looking the day of and a few days after the on sale date. I got 5th row Springsteen tickets that way once the day after they went on sale.

Also check back closer to the show starting around a month or so. You have to be persistent though and check several times a day. I've gotten close seats that way too. Also if TM is selling the tickets try LIVE Nation closer to the show date - you'll have the option with them of picking your seat - they will show you a chart with all available seats. I think TM is beta testing this. Good luck - hope everything works out for you!

Thanks Everyone !! , I will take all your suggestions to heart, and let ya'll know how it turns out. If i dont get anything close that I want tomorrow at 10, im not just going to setttle and get what pops up . I will take the other suggestions & peek around hours, and days later. People are always trying to dump tickets the day of, and since i will be in Orlando anyhow im sure SOMETHING will work out.


All the best

Another thought is to just show up the day of the concert and roam the parking lot. Plenty of people are always looking to unload tickets for whatever price they can get. If you want a specific section, though, that may be a little tougher. But it's great for lawn tickets. i had a group of 30 at Nissan last year and only 20 of us had tickets. the others had no trouble finding tickets in the lot.
