5-Star/4-Star Packages - TBD

[m_dixon1984]

The credit card thing has always been a bit of a joke.

American Express had, or has, Front-Of-The-Line for tours they promote. From what I could gather there's a block of seats reserved for early purchase, usually the day before regular sales started.

The reserved tickets were usually low, 1st level, grandstand seats. I never found a floor seat using Front-Of-The-Line (I only got seats once).

They usually sell-out in minutes.

The lack of pricing information is a pain in the ass, add the Charlotte and Greensboro discrepancies, and I'm a little pissed off.

I don't have an American Express, I'm hoping I can buy a 5 star package usuing another credt card!, the site claims you can get seats with in 10 rows of stage when buying these packages, is this whole package thing bullshit and a gimmick to sign up for an "American Express card?

I hope it doesn't involve Western Union.

Last time I tried to wire money to my family in Guam, they charged me 75 bucks!!!

[m_dixon1984]

I'm with you on the sign-up gimmick angle but I'm pretty sure it's not related to the iloveallaccess packages.

The iloveallaccess 4 and 5-Star package tickets are open to everyone with any credit card, for the few minutes they last. At least that's my understanding.

When American Express was doing the Front-Of-The-Line thing through TicketBastard it was quite obvious which links to follow for AE card holders to get their early tickets.

The delay with TicketBastard listing the shows may be related to getting this new promotion setup. I've never heard of the credit card they want you to use.

(2) Four Star - Pepsi Arena, Albany, NY , June 26, 2004 07:30 PM EST
Amount Paid: 350.00

That got me a crappy t shirt and a 10 row seat. Luckily, my exwife shook her tits at the roadies and they gave us 2 passes to sit inside the stage on Eddie's side. I watched the whole drunken mess standing about 3 feet away from Eddie.

and yes I went to that trainwrek. I thought that it would probably be the last tour Eddie did before he died.

5 Stars were going for $600 a piece if I remember.

I emailed iloveallaccess earlier today asking when prices would be published and I got an email tonight saying that the prices for the fist 7 shows would be up later tonight... i'm in Atlantic time so it's already 10:30pm but I'm guess these guys are probably Pacific time... so I guess I'll know in the morning.

Even worse, 5 star will not include watching the sound check like the last tour> That was the only thing that made it worth it!

[Va Beach VH Fan]

I wouldn't doubt that list of stuff that comes along with the packages gets modified, considering that they hadn't even set prices for the damn things yet....

But you're right, seeing the sound check would fucking rock....

[Deklon]

SOundcheck was way better than the concert

[m_dixon1984]

It's official...

5-Star packages for Philly - $US695.

4-Star packages for Philly - $US350.

Ugh! I'm out.

PS - Prices seem to vary. The NC shows are a little cheaper.

The credit card is the Citibank American Airline Advantage card, where you get miles. I've got one, but I've done that presale thing too, and it's not usually very good. I'll take my chances.

[Polk High]

Those prices are ridiculous. I've seen Dave by himself in the past few years I doubt this conference will be better then Roth by himself. got front row seats to see dave under 60 each time. Since I never saw VH I will go but I really don't see how it can be 6-7 times better then a roth show by himself (since the price is that much more.)

If you go to the All Access website (www.iloveallaccess.com) and go to the Van Halen premium tickets section it will send you to a page that prompts you for the "tour password."

Just type in vanhalen (all one word) and it will take you to the show listing and will have prices for the 5 and 4 star packages if you click on them.

m_dixon was correct. $350.00 for 4 star, $695.00 for the 5 star (at least in Philadelphia). Prices vary depending on the city.

Gee...that was really a difficult "password", huh?

uh...yeah - I know. I intentionally didn't mention it and will continually do the same unless and until they make donation to Sarge.

They should pay to have advertisement on the great Roth Army!

Nah - I jest - you did the right thing - its about getting information out there but - I printed it myself already 8 days ago in another thread but you didn't know that (because the site wont load right and you couldn't serf as easy as usual...)

Now the info is out there so from here on out, everybody: FUCK THEM!!

Yet another fucked up thing that is preventing the average fatcat from buying these expensive tickets is the sheer Pain In the Ass factor! I have a busy life and I have already spent way too much time trying to figure out WTF is going on re: tickets! I'm starting to see it in terms of hours I can't bill!
