Live Nation Presale Info

Yeah It does at super high volumes. I don't think we really play that loud. What happens to me is that if I hear myself too much I lose relative pitch with the rest of the band. I always have some saxophone in my monitor. It helps tremendously with my pitch. if I tune in to my bass I sing flat and the guitar becomes washy after a while. The horns are in the same range as a voice and helps keep me in tune

True and I would of loved to have a horn section or sax in the band

But you said the key words, you don't play at high volumes....it makes a huge difference.

The way I approached it was.......the band only has to be as loud as the drums/cymbals are. So they can hear.......tuning, using thinner cymbals and getting rid of the baseball bats I used to use made a huge difference.

I've done the RSVP thing but seeing that people with AMEX, which I don't have, can pre-order tickets........

What are the chances of getting kick ass seats without paying through the nose for VIP tickets......

Is anyone going to use a ticket broker/scalper?

I wound up having to use ticketsnow.com last time. I had to pay like 50 bucks on top of the ticket price - which fucking sucks because the band ain't seeing a penny of that extra money. There ain't no way I can afford one of those VIP packages....full time single dad - so I'm kinda limited.

I can't either......

Plus, if the last tour is any indication of what VIP tickets are.....I really don't need to walk backstage, have a glossy laminated ticket or any of the other stuff.....the band didn't even do a meet 'n greet.....not that I have any interest in that either.

It's sad that ticket scalpers get the inside track these days

I would at least consider a VIP package if I got to meet the band, but not without that guarantee....

[DONNIEP]

The VIP packages are $395.00, $595.00 and $895.00. As much as I love Dave and love Van Halen there just ain't no way I would pay $395.00 for ONE ticket - and it not include a meet and greet. Hell, for that kinda cash it better include a happy ending!!!

In NYC, the prices are $495, $695, $1250. The $1250 packages will sell out - because corporate accounts buy them, so they can charge whatever they like and that jacks up the prices of the lesser packages.

Sorry that I keep reposting this but in Montreal in 07 we decided very late to go - and went online to discover that some of the VIP seats had been converted to 80 dollar floor seats. we got four and were 4 seats off the extended stage. Who knows if this will happen again, but don't despair about not getting good tix.

[kwame k]

Some would pay, I'd bet!

[Sensible Shoes]

Oh I would.

[DONNIEP]

Shoes - you really got floor seats for 80 bucks??? Damn, that had to be the deal of a lifetime! I'm good as long as I'm lower level, but damn, I wanna be up close where the action is!
