** POSTPONED ** Official 7/28 Cleveland Meetup/Review Thread

Cavs/Q uses Flash Seats, so that's where you'll want to look. they can be transferred to you and you swipe an ID at the gate, they give you a "seat locator" and that's it. no more paper tickets.

the no paper tickets kinda sucks as a collector though.

Never heard of that site, thanks. Will go on there as well as Ticketmaster the week before the show.

I know that Bruce Springsteen does something like that with his shows to combat scalpers. For the good seats the only way to purchase them is with credit card, and no tickets of any kind are issued. Your credit card is your ticket. Of course if you do need to get rid of the ticket for legitimate reasons I guess that's a problem.

http://www.flashseats.com/ shoulda posted that above.

set up an account, then you can buy, sell, or transfer tickets. say one of us can't show up until later, i'd transfer the ticket to them and they swipe their ID and get in.

i think the Denver Nuggets and their arena use the same system. i was worried that cutting TM and Live Nation out would hurt us, that maybe big LN tours would pass us by but so far it doesn't look that way.

this was my first purchase through Flash Seats so we'll see how it goes. there are also ticket kiosks at a local pharmacy chain, but i don't want to be stuck behind some dope who can barely use an ATM let alone figure out the ticket machine.

I did set up an account on there but I don't see Van Halen listed. Jumps from "Rod Stewart/Stevie Nicks" on 7/20 to "Apassionata The Beginning" on 8/3, whatever that is.

i looked at the same page, probably won't be many tickets for sale until the regular sale starts and people try to cash in. regular sales are on theqarena.com site, but it ends up going through Flash Seats.

still is some kind of scalping going on, some people are asking way too much (IMO) for Aerosmith tickets. especially if there are still tickets available.

$1 is too much for Aerosmith tickets.

All of these shows start out with scalper prices. And then as the show draws near they come down, most of the time for under face. The only issue I have is that single seats are tougher to get than pairs. But then again good seats always pop up a day or two before the show on Ticketmaster (or whatever site the venue uses) without fail.

i'm not sure i would take a free ticket to an Aerosmith show. if i did this tour, i would leave after Cheap Trick's set and go back to the bar.

[Sensible Shoes]

that's funny, we are seats 7-10.

we were there first, noobs gotta bring beers!

Oh how fucking great is THIS????

[VH Drummer]

This is tempting but I'm unsure if I'll be able to make or even afford it. I wanted to hit both Michigan shows but I may end up only being able to do one.
