Stand In The Stand By Line

Stand in the stand by ticket line. Even if they tell you its sold out or they're not selling anymore tickets. I did last night. I was there around 6:30. There were about 20 to 30 people in front of me. Security made an announcement that it was sold out and they weren't selling anymore tix. That was a lie lol. We waited anyway. Sure enough around 745 or 8 they released more. I ended up getting a pretty good Log seat in sec 25 row L for $55. I had the option to get a great log seat towards the front but for $180. Wasn't in my budget. They have been playing such games with these tickets! It infuriates me!! But anyway moral of the story is go ahead and stand in the stand by ticket line even if they say its sold out.

There were quite a few people behind me...maybe 30 to 40. Not sure if they all got in. But I think many were only willing to pay $25. There was a group of 3 right behind me. They got up to the window to buy but once they found out the tix were $55 to $180 they left. So if you're willing to pay then its a good shot.

That was probably what was the most fun, & most frustrating thing about this 21 shows...

You Could get in for $25 and the person next to you could have paid $250... All I can say is that I went to 10 shows, & the more $$$ I paid, the worse my seats were... Go Figure????
