I just read this... went to LiveNation... and bought a single! Way off to the side, but front row! :o :lol:

Also went with LiveNation. Can't say enough good things about this. Seems way better than TM. Got 4 seats for Alpine and 6 for Tinley in the first 4 minutes. Thanks to BN for the tip!

Glad to hear that. Be prepared however that that ticket could be obstructed view. A few years back I had tickets in about the 7th row, but way off to the side, such that you couldn't really see much of the stage. We found an empty spot in 7th row middle & snuggled in. Just made sure we were real nice to the people around us, & never left to get a beer, use the bathroom, etc.

Alpine :(

Post by ClaireParrot »

I was online right at 10am and I did get lawn tickets, but that isn't really what I was looking for, so I let them go to someone who wanted them more. Is there any way to get tickets at a decent price now? I am guessing no. Last year we found some about 2 mos before the concert, but they were still around $300 each. This would be our second year and we really want to go. Any ideas?

Also, is there ever presales for Alpine?

I went back over 1 hour after they went on sale. Got 4 Sec 101 row m. I'm stoked. Last year shut out. this year I'm seeing Jimmy. tm still sucks. I called while I was on-line. Some pimple faced kid couldn't understand what I was talikng about. After 5 minutes he said "sold out" He was saying "midwest Bank center? I kept say Alpine Valley it's in Wisc. Patience pays off! It makes Chgo seem a little warmer.

Are tickets numbered funny at Alpine. I got six seats 43,45,47 etc. Maybe they're extra wide so I can put extra beers next to me. Thanks

Odds are on one side and evens are on the other side... if you have odd numbers in sequential order (i.e. 43, 45, 47) they are next to each other.

Six in section 203, Row Y. Same as last year. I think I need to take less people along. There were some good pairs in the middle section towards the front of 202.

At least my Labor Day tickets are nice.

so are we getting better at getting tickets or did the fact that this show follows chicago by only a week make more spots up for grabs. Last year this thread was full of people cursing the ticketmaster name, now not so much...I know livenation may have made a differnce for some, but seems odd that not more people got 'shut out'...
