Oh yeah, I got 202 row 5 (which aren't bad now, but will be when the people that use them have to stare at the speaker stacks on Mike's side the whole show).

This does not bode well for the public sale.

The main thing to be concerned about is the stupid virtual waiting room. It's horrible. You have to have about 15 windows open at the same time and continually monitor them to see if they change.

By the way, the seating chart that you posted a couple of pages ago is the one they're using.

and it looks like only singles are available already.

Are you being serious? I had heard about the concept, but never seen them in action. You really need to have multiple windows open and watch for which ever queue ends first, then buy tickets from that window?

If you want to increase your chances of getting through, I would suggest doing so. It's a pretty shitty way to buy tickets online, but it's probably your best bet to get tickets. Saturday's going to be a shit show.

That doesn't make a lot of sense though... the windows would be controlled by a cookie or token or IP or something else unique to the requestor so have multiple windows shouldn't do much. Maybe mutliple windows from multiple browsers might help...

I don't profess to be a computer guy or to fully understand the mechanics of it. All I know is that when I open multiple windows, there are some where I get through while I'm still stuck in the waiting room in the others.

Thanks for the tip, I'll definitely try it. Contrary to what Reggie Middleton says, sometimes knowing "that it works" is as effective as knowing "why it works".

Anybody seen a concert there from one of the rooftops? Is it doable?

I never have, but you will be behind the stage, and your view would likely be completely blocked by the bleacers and the backdrop of the stage, unless you are on one at the very end of either street.

Do they sell rooftop tickets to concerts? If they do, i hope they are cheap.

Yeah, i was thinking more down the lines to try to get a side view. They do, they're around $130, but that includes food and booze for many of them.

Just like the games, they are way overpriced.

I can't imagine the sound being that much better than right out side the park.

How much are tickets going to be for this?

Face value for presale was $52 or $77

It still feels weird that there's no page on tickets.com for the show. Am I missing something?

I'm looking forward to waiting a year and a half for the bootleg of this so I can listen to EV sing "Take Me Out to the Ball Game".

I dont regret not attempting for tickets to this show. My friend is upset with me that i did not. He is confused by this. I have been trying to get him to go to shows with me the past 4 years. Now he finally wants to go and I have little interest.

The times they are a changin.

Someday we'll go all the way and No more war, brothers and sisters.


RIP Pj

I'm sure it will be a well-rehearsed, tightly-played show.

Not.
