Spring 2016 US Tour Fan Presale (Page 3 of 4)

[EDIT] YES!! it worked.
Section ORCH B   Row D   Seat 107,108

dead center row 4

yup for sure

I guess Joe is becoming more popular in OKC,  last time he played the Civic Center, I got row C , center section.

Today, I get row D,  left of the center.

But I'm not very good at these presale events,  I start getting nervous before the official time,  my heart rate picks up,  I have trouble hitting the right keys on my keyboard ........ and that dang jumbled up word(s) they want you to enter,  heck , I never can figure out what letters are what ... all they while I'm rushing.

However, I'm not complaining,  Row C or Row D,  no difference.

Bought tickets to the Madison, WI show as a b-day present for my wife, I was able to get 7th row just left of center.  Very happy with the seats. 

The date of the show is not too far from our wedding anniversary so I figured that we could make this into a nice weekend getaway to celebrate our anniversary.  I found out a few hours after I purchased the tickets as I was looking into accommodations that the show date coincides with the University of Wisconsin's commencement weekend.  D'oh!  This is going to be interesting.

Or keep them!  So if you don't mind, could you tell me more.  The box set instructions say the tickets are subject to availability, but it says that within 5 days I would get confirmation of my order and instructions on how to redeem my tickets.  Does this mean that if I ordered it right now, I would be able to redeem my tickets as soon as I'm notified and ensure that I get seats even though I don't know where yet?  Right now Ticketmaster's best available is giving me way to the right side of the stage.  Do you think I would be able to get seats more towards the center with this?  And of course, I would LOVE to do the meet and greet.

seating choice.. depends.
I think I've only run into one arena that wouldn't let me pick my seats but gave me seat numbers I had to guess where they were exactly to guess if they were good.
most other "real" theatres do allow a seat selection.
some venues its a 'feeding frenzy' to get tickets up close and mysteriously get swallowed up quick

but like I said, depends on the venue seating.
platinum.. yes they're out there, for those that are inclined, probably not for the 'average' person.
as long as I can still get rows 4-11, I'm cool with those that want to pay double or triple me.

Actually, I was thinking maybe there would be another lithograph release sometime this fall, but your suggestion is a great idea, too!
I definitely know friends who would enjoy the box set, and it would give me a chance to have Joe autograph Amanda (my Alvarez Yairi WY1TS; I wrote about her on my blog last month: http://curmudgeonbeyondthewall.blogspot … l-ish.html), which would be a huge thrill...

I have experienced both sides of the "artist reserved" situation, and it really does depend on the venue. For a show in Omaha,
I got seats in the second balcony just a few rows away from the back wall, but for a show in Des Moines I got fourth row center. Of course, any seat for a Joe show is better than no seat at all! To paraphrase George Patton: "A Joe Bonamassa concert 10 minutes from where I live and I'm left out of it??? God will NOT permit this to happen!" 

And, just like that, I can stop looking for train trestles to jump off of...

Sequoia Brewing Company (SBC) in the Tower District is a good place to have a pre show get together as it has a good micro-brewery and good food. Here's the web site: http://sequoiabrewing.com/
