I was on 2 different screen and the phone and for the first 10 minutes or so, they told me that all the floor seats were sold out! I kept swearing and trying and I finally got "lucky" with some decent seats.

I was upset that there was no floor map, but I assume it will be similar to the way it was before when we saw him there.

I am also ticked that the price of the tickets is so high.

The wife and I will come along for the meet and greet and most likely Last Man Standing. We went to Tommy Rocker's the last time we were in town.

God, I can't wait to get to Vegas!

Floor, Section F, Row B
Seats 8 and 9

Do we know what all is going on that weekend? We will be getting in the 21st and leaving the 24th.

I look forward to talking with everyone.

I know I will be in town on those days, as will VashonPH...More than likely Grams, Yorkshire-Parrotheads......

There will be a nice group there... probably the usual
Meet & Greet Thursday night, for those who want to meet up,
Friday is LMS,
Saturday Flamingo Street Party & Concert,
Sunday - Brunch and Hang-over recovery,
Monday....no-one will ever know what happened in Vegas
Hoping for the usual! Will be interesting to see where LMS is. So, I got my tickets through my club and was told they're pretty good seats so here's hoping! :)

Finally pulled nosebleeds.....I was at a disadvantage because we wanted six together....I'm content....we'll be there! If it were our first show, I'd be disappointed, but it's not....we're in the game and IT'S VEGAS, BABY!

Oh God! It was a fricking nightmare, but after fighting with the TM web site and saying naughty words that made Ms Sammie leave the room, I finally got a ticket lower level section 7, Row T, seat 17. I'm in, and I am happy.

For those who didn't get tix today, don't worry about it. MGM has always played these games over the years. More tickets are released on a regular basis between now October. Even if you don't get a ticket til day of show.....don't fret. The best tickets come to those who wait. 8)

It's section 207....I'm totally fine with it, it's such a small venue, there really isn't a bad seat.....saved us $40 a ticket!

I don't see a single seat for floor sections A,B, or C available on ebay, stubhub, or any scalper site. Obviously all these seats were held back and none have been released yet. Glad I didn't waste any time attempting to buy tickets this morning.

I can't afford those anyway....I'm glad I wasted time and know I have seats!

I doubt that I'd pay full price for them either no matter how good they were. When I can get those seats day of show for less than $100 though, I don't mind waiting!

Don't make the girl feel bad or anything.....

We are happy with what we got and we paid for it....I know I don't want to be sorry when I get out there and not have the chance to see the concert.... cause one NEVER KNOWS!

Just so sick of trying to get some decent tickets been on line for over 4 hours now and nothing good turns up. They must be holding them back. Not paying the fare from England to get lousy seats. Giving up today and going to bed.

I wonder what the deal is with no tickets being available within the first sections (A, B, C).

I will keep trying to get better seats than what I have. I had an extra pair that I couldn't get rid of for a Vegas show before and I was able to turn them back into the box office at MGM and got a refund.

OR, Sections D, E and F are really the closest sections to the stage and I finally managed to get second row center tickets at face value. I won't hold my breath for that though.
