[VAiN]

Thanks, VA!

Looks like I'll be dropping some cash on Feb 6! Florida road trip!!

[Va Beach VH Fan]

So if I'm understanding this correctly, for Greensboro for example, the presale for AMEX is from Jan. 23rd to 27th, then VIP packages on the 28th, and only then on Feb. 23rd does everybody else get their shot....

Is that right ??

[SNIPER]

where are the 2nd leg dates? these are the same as before

[Va Beach VH Fan]

The ones in red are the ones that have the on-sale dates announced....

[SNIPER]

The ones in red are the ones that have the on-sale dates announced....

ah, I see. I read it wrong. Thought they ADDED dates. Damn! Still waiting for all the north west dates to pop up.

[VAiN]

Oh, I misread that.. looks like general tix go on sale 2/11 for the Florida shows..

[Va Beach VH Fan]

By the way, if you notice, they added a date on March 26th at Penn State....

[VanHalenI]

Oh my God lucky you guys! VAN HALEN should definetely hang out here in Mexico City! :D

[Zing!]

Damn - I have all kinds of time to save up for 5/19. Makes a ticket upgrade mighty tempting...

[moose]

How are the first shows doing sales wise??

[Unchainme]

just keep waiting for the c-town dates to be posted.

"Come on Dave, give us break!"

[VH78-84]

I know I keep beating a dead dog, but This American Express presale is totally unfair!, not Everyone has a AMEX Credit Card!!!Those cats who have American Express have a chance to snatch up all the good seats before the rest of us! Including the VIP Packages in the Presale is Bull Shit as well!!! Those of us who are willing to spend the money on those Packages should have the same shot to get close to the stage as everyone else!!!

[Dan]

Any News On A 3rd Leg?

[Sensible Shoes]

How obscene of you.

[ELVIS]

I have a third leg...

[Dan]

Crazy Kiwi.:D

Thanks Shoes.

[ZahZoo]

By the way, if you notice, they added a date on March 26th at Penn State....

Hoping they add some more locations... looking like 6-8 hour drives for the dates I can attend.

[guwapo_rocker]

The seats that came up in the Toronto Amex presale were all in the back. Didn't even bother.

from what i've read, the AMEX tickets aren't always the best seats. go through some of the meetup threads from last week. the AMEX "front of the line" tag line doesn't necessarily mean "close to the stage."

fill out an AMEX app on their site, if you get approved the card will show up before that second leg goes on sale. don't ask me how i know...

[Sensible Shoes]

Can you say CLEVELAND?????

[Floridaman1985]

Awesome! I'm pretty close to getting new job and having to move from Charlotte, so it is a bit difficult to plan out which shows to go to. Those on sale dates should give me enough time! I was kinda worried.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Two new tour dates announced....

Tuesday 03/13/2012 Manchester, NH

Sunday 04/29/2012 St. Louis, MO

Also, the Winnipeg date has been changed from May 17th to May 13th....

[Texas Outlaw]

Bought two VIP packages for the Houston show today. AMEX pre-sale code worked like a charm.

Yeah, this is definitely bullshit. If I had known this would happen, I never would have cancelled my AMEX card. Hell, actually I dumped that thing before the previous Van Halen tour.

[mohican]

Tried buying tickets today with my friends but we all decided to wait. The seats for AMEX aren't that great. They are either very close to the stage for $450 or too far where you might as well watch on youtube.

[shaggydoo]

World tour of North America... GRATE!!!

Are they waiting to see international sales figures before touring other countries or what?

[VanCanHalen]

Just waiting on the Vancouver VIP information, looks like the second leg Canadian dates are awaiting sale dates etc, most be soon though, fuck I hate waiting and this Amex BS

[DavidLeeNatra]

World tour of North America... GRATE!!!

VH fucked up the "out of the US"-markets so bad that they will stay there... :(

and why go worldwide when you can make enough money with a 80+ dates tour in the US alone...I hope for the festivals over here...

[ZahZoo]

You can tell Van Halen is getting old... not even a mention of a 3rd leg on this tour!!

[Carmine]

I've been thinking about that....as much as it seems that Dave is out in front (or at least has a say again) on the band bizz with the clips and promo stuff thats been done so far...would David Lee Roth END a tour a few days before the 4th of July?


I think not...I expect a little July time off and then hopefully...they're back at it for another poke...Van Halen in the summertime...


...What's better than that...

[ZahZoo]

Seems some major markets are missing... can only hope they add more dates.

One show in Tacoma for the whole North West?

Nothing for Northern California/Oregon...

Nothing in the Memphis/Little Rock Area...

[mohican]

Is ticketmaster's site down or is it just my unlucky day?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I think TM's been having problems, not only with VH tickets, but I also read there were bigtime problems with Chili Peppers tickets today....

Bruce Springsteen Fans Deal with Ticketmaster Glitches

Ticket site slammed with traffic as New York, New Jersey dates go on sale

By Matthew Perpetua
January 27, 2012 1:55 PM ET

Several concerts on Bruce Springsteen's forthcoming spring tour – mainly in the rocker's home state of New Jersey – went on sale today, resulting in traffic-related issues for Ticketmaster that have kept many fans shut out from purchasing tickets. Earlier this afternoon, Springsteen put a message on his official site letting his fans know that he was aware many of them were having trouble buying tickets, and sharing the following message from Ticketmaster:

"We have been experiencing highly abnormal traffic patterns on our site this morning that have impacted the fan buying experience for some customers. We are investigating the source of the problem and are working to resolve it as quickly as possible, but tickets are selling so please stay patient. We will update fans as we know more."

Springsteen wasn't the only high-profile act with gigs on sale today. Tickets for Roger Waters' performance of The Wall at Yankee Stadium also went on sale this afternoon, along with Florence and the Machine dates and a rare U.S. appearance by Pulp at Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan.

This isn't the first time East Coast fans have dealt with Ticketmaster glitches related to Bruce Springsteen tickets. Back in 2009, fans attempting to get seats for the singer's shows on Long Island and in New Jersey were greeted with error messages immediately upon the tickets going on sale and were redirected to Ticketmaster's subsidiary TicketsNow, which specializes in selling tickets above face value. This led New York senator Charles Schumer to introduce ticket legislation intended to curb secondary-market ticket sites by insisting on a two-day waiting period before putting new tickets on sale.

Tickets for today's Springsteen shows are already available on sites such as StubHub.

[mohican]

I am trying to buy vh tickets today. Maybe I queried too many times trying to find good seats. The opened up Live Nation and internet pre-sale so there are more choices. After a few tries, I got this msg:
Forbidden
You don't have permission to access /event/1C00482CC5A76B2B on this server.

I don't know if it's TM's heavy traffic or they lock out people for doing too many searches. Really sucks.

[John_Downing]

Got my Tix x2. At&T Center 22 Jun. Hope the wheels don't come off the train before our show. EVH looks good. Hopefully his son can keep Eddie on the wagon for the entire tour. This will be my 5th VH show (I hope). 1978 Texxas Jam First Van Halen Appearance in Texas. This is where we (Texas) fell in love with VH. They played at 1030 in the AM. This was my first experience when the band got the entire stadium pumping their fist and singing along 10 yards from stage. They played the entire first album. Then again 1979 Cotton bowl Texxas Jam 2, again 10 yards from stage Then 1979 July Midland Chaparral Center front row barricade collapse..and I got scars to prove it. (1986 Sammy @ cotton bowl Texxas Jam...in the crowd)......#5 2012 (nose bleeds)...hopefully they will rock the house! Not going to pay the 2012 price to get close.

[sonrisa salvaje]

Got my tix for Atlanta. Row 20 from the stage and center. Everything is proceeding as planned and we are ready for take off. All i need is a little bit of fuel come next Tuesday. Lets do the damn thing!

[kingedward]

I will be in Oakland on 6/3. We bought most of a whole row! Lot of DLR/CVH fans at my crazy company.

[Va Beach VH Fan]

2nd Los Angeles date announced for June 9th.....

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Also, don't know if you saw it in the Tour forum, but we have our first cancellation, the 3/26 show at Penn State.....

Which always seemed to me to be a bit curious.... Even a band as big as Van Halen is like 35 years older than these kids....

Plus, once you get outside of PSU, that central PA area is not exactly the most populous area of the state...

[philouze]

They play Dallas on my birthday... Too bad I'm in France, tho'

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Replacement date for Penn State Univ. cancellation added in Reading, PA for 3/26.....

Didn't know that until just now.

Did they give a reason? Or was it low ticket sales?

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Ticket sales...

[Chong Li]

So bummed. I am not going to be able to make NY or Mohegan shows because of work (I will be on the other coast).

Is there going to be a tour in the fall? How likely is this?
