More Time Between Concert Announcement/ Tix On Sale PLEASE!

[krusin1]

Just a plea to Jimmy.....

I know you have to get ticket sales underway quickly, but man, it's making things hard for us.

The Kansas City concert was announced on Monday, Feb. 20 and tix went on sale just 1 WEEK later......

Makes it really, really, really, hard for a group to organize plans and come up with the $$ to be ready when tickets go on sale.

Our group isn't going to make it to KC this year. The time table was simply TOOOOOOO tight to get it all worked out.

With a LOT of luck, maybe some of us can catch a show somewhere else later this summer, but I dunno.......

Good point......

With all due respect.........you can't be serious?
I'm sure if you polled a dozen different phans you'd get a dozen different personal preferences as to how to handle ticket onsales. Hardly seems like this example of tix going onsale after the show being announced was an unfair one.

As far as not being able to coordinate a group - I guess I'm lucky in that our GW group is pretty much set and organized to jump on a date when it comes, the rest almost takes care of itself automatically it's been going on so long, Tampa and Jones Beach are about the same. I guess for a venue he doesn't go to as often it's different.

No, not saying it's "unfair" or anything. And not trying to whine. Just saying a week is not very long to see if the date works and put a group like ours together.

On a related note.... KC tix didn't sell out real quick. (Not sure they're sold out YET, but I've not checked, either.) Maybe the short window had something to do with that.....

Actually, .. most shows for other bands are announced with about the same notice to on sale times...

I think its far worse when shows are announced and go on sale with a 10 month lead time for the show happening... sure take my money now... I'll see ya later....can anyone say Roger Water's current "Wall" tour??...
