thread re-named (as I think a lot of folks may have missed it due to the original title) and bumped up the board a bit
Thats a bit more like it, although ..even for a couple of hundred onstage seats they still seem fit to charge different rates for the seats! (maybe the $250 tickets come with a commode for those with weak bladders...) |

That is good news. The only bad news is that thanks to cutbacks at my workplace, I can't afford to buy even one ticket. NOT ONE!!!!! It looks like another missed opportunity for me once again. |

Awww! Sorry to hear that, Trey. Did you manage to get an ordinary ticket to a stadium show? If so, try getting into the contest... And the ones at RS.com for non-ticketholders, too. |

I may try that, MW. Also, a couple of radio stations in the area should be having contests for tickets to the Charlotte and Durham shows. Hopefully, I'll have a shot at winning something! |
