Fans getting to stand so close to the stage? A really cool ramp that he'll probably walk out on? I want to go!!! *bursts into tears*
Good luck, Tiff, I really can't give you advice, but hopefully tickets will be easier to get than for MSG.

Tiff, I'm not sure what you're willing to pay...for me, it was $50 tix or nothing...I think if you do Best Available, you can pick BA in a certain price range, so you don't end up w/ a case of "****, $200 tix came up and I can't afford those!" and it's pretty much a case of what you get the first time around is all you're going to get. I don't know. I actually think there's not a whole lot of skill or any rhyme or reason involved. Though Tiff, if you've got a bunch of friends trying for tix, and you're willing to go to Seattle, I'd say have some friends try for Vancouver and some try for Seattle. Hell, even if you only get Seattle, you may be able to trade it for Vancouver on interference or elsewhere.

Good luck, Tiff! Did you decide what to search for? Best available (certain price range), GA, etc? Do you have friends trying for you as well? I'll be thinking of you!

That's what I did. I searched for GA first, and then when that came up with no results, I went back and did BA, which also came back with no results. The three other people who were trying for me did the same thing.

I only used one window the whole time. That may have been my problem. And I kept trying over and over (best available) until 9:30 when I had to leave, so for half an hour. Can you choose best available in a specific price range like mabel suggested? If thats possible, do that. The GA and the highest up seats should be the same price, so if you don't get GA, you should get one of the cheap seats.

Just a quickie (well, not really!)...Tiff, I would highly suggest that tonight you try (for any concert, pick Duran Duran if you want, anyone) and try getting tix w/ two windows/browsers open (it sounded like that's your game plan for tomorrow). I tried it once (for some random concert before U2 went on sale) and the second window got timed out/frozen. I'm not sure if that was just a flukey thing, or if it'll always freeze up like that. For me, the fact that it did that on the first try, it was reason enough not to risk it w/ the real tix. Also, if you don't get tix on your first try, by all means, keep on plugging away trying for tix. It all happened so fast, but I think I may have tried for the cheapies more than once. I don't remember...It was just like "No tix available" ok...Again, again, again, swivel, check the other computers, again, again, again...POW! Nosebleeds!!! I'll take 'em!!! (And all that happened in like 10-15 minutes!) I'd say don't give up for a half an hour/45 minutes. Don't just go through one try at each ticket option. I've read lots of cases where systems get timed out and tix are lost. Also, if someone doesn't get all their shipping/credit card info in the alotted 2 minutes, they lose their tix. Keep plugging away! Try for whatever you can. Take whatever you can. You'll always be able to sell them if you've got a friend trying for tix and you both end up w/ a pair (or however many). Try, try, try for GAs. If you get them and decide later that you'd rather have seated tix, you'll absolutely be able to trade them. It seems like there's a neverending supply of fans looking to "upgrade" to GAs. Also, do you already have an account w/ ticketmaster? I didn't and realized at like quarter to 10 that you were supposed to have one! I'm not sure if you have to ahead of time, but the quicker you can make the checkout process, the less likely you'll be to get timed out and loose potentially snagged tix! Good luck!!!! Sending good vibes!!!!

20,000 (ish) I think...I saw that about Dublin this morning! YIKES!!!

LSAT SCHMELLSAT.

And I thought you said Scissor Sisters were supporting them? It's Kings of Leon, you ape! Not that it matters to me.

Now people - there will be more MSG shows in October, won't there???? I can feel it my waters....

*dabs at her nerves-induced nosebleed*

Ellie, I never confirmed it was the Scissor Sisters! I said rumor had it that they may be the opening act later on in one of the legs! My very first post on this thread said it was Kings of Leon, you cheesedoodle!

There should be more MSG shows in October/November, and if budget permits, I would LOVE to be there for my birthday.

Mabel, no, you didn't freak me out. Nuh-uh. Nosiree. *goes off to vomit* I just wanna get tickets - any tickets. I would actually cry from happiness to get GA tix though. To the thisclose to Bono. My god.

Hey, they took down the stage layout on the AZ ticketmaster page! Just my little pre-bed musings. Oh and it was deleted from craigslist (so I can't post the exact "offer") but I guess some guy was like "hey any hot girl willing to sleep w/ me can get a free ticket to see U2!" Can you believe that! YIKES!!! Anyway, I'm off...One last "Best of luck!!!" to Tiff!!! Go get 'em!!!

---

Bump...any luck Tiff?!?! I hope you scored some tix!!! Out of curiosity, I tried a couple of times, but didn't come up w/ anything. I figured if I got any, I could sell them to you if you didn't luck out, and if you did, there'd be pleanty of other takers! I hope you were able to get something, if not, get ready for Seattle!!!! Sending positive vibes!!!

ETA: Did you see that a second date was added for Vancouver? They aren't on sale yet, but keep checking back. I don't think that was there when I was trying 15-20 mintues ago (of maybe I'm blind?!?!?)
