What tickets did you score?!?!

[Mudcrutch]

2 tickets together - 6th row for Cleveland - regular presale

1 ticket - 2nd row pit in Cinci - dream package

not bad.

[LizzieB]

Sweet!! Did you get center section in Cleveland?

Hey, I didn't realize we'd know the location of the dream packages right way.

[jawallac]

Grand Rapids: Section FL2 (center) Row S, tickets 3 & 4
Cleveland: Section 14 (Mike's side of the stage), Row K, seats 1-4
and I was done with my purchases by 10:08.

[KansasPettyFan]

Pair together in front of Mike - 6th row for Tampa - regular presale

1 ticket - 5th row, center for Tampa - dream package

And I got that pair on my very first try!

[Mudcrutch]

Sweet!! Did you get center section in Cleveland?

Hey, I didn't realize we'd know the location of the dream packages right way.

actually i got section 12, which is stage left. :rolleyes:

I took a chance and looked for tickets again and got the same section so I didn't want to waste any more time. I just went for it.

[Nylle]

2 tix 6th row center floor for Raleigh - regular presale

Let me add that I threw back 5 offerings before I bought these - all decent tickets but further back. That was nerve-wracking!

Glad to see everyone did well!

[tplover2]

Raleigh sec 2 row A seats 15-17! I got 3 dream packages-1 for myself, 1 for hubby, and one for Robbie who will be coming from TN. Robbie got regular HCC tickets to Charlotte for us in sec 1 row F! Now I can't wait for July to get here!

[Ladywiz]

2 tix Row E in Charlotte! Not bAd for a non-dream package! Still waiting for ATL tix to go on sale, dammit!

[Nylle]

^ Excellent, Donna! You should be right in front of Ron. See you at Walnut Creek!

[nurktwin]

ryan, i'll see you in clev. got sec 12 row C on reg presale.
got tampa dream pack, floor 2 (center stage) row 3

[Mudcrutch]

nice nurk.. see you there!

[MalininGrl]

Ok, I'll be the annoying newbie. Sec 14 Row C in Cleveland on regular presale.

[nurktwin]

after i got the dream pack for tampa i tried reg for clev and am wondering if we should waste the time and money on dream packs. the reg seats are coming up pretty good.

[Mudcrutch]

^ nice, the Cleveland crew is growing :)

[kira]

Way to go!!!! Everyone is doing great! My pressure is through the roof. Put on lots of hormone cream to help be nice and calm through next hour. Estrogen high, head clear, eyes focused. I'll be back with a report soon.
Picture jazz hands!!!

[emmie]

I am SO happy right now - SO HAPPY!

I got FRONT ROW DEAD CTR for Toronto. OMG I can't believe it. After all the worry about the show not even being advertised on Ticketmaster I can't believe this. Mind you, had to buy 2 dream packages for it. But it's not like I'm going to 4,5 or 6 shows like so many.

God I'm happy FRONT ROW DEAD CTR YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[C-line]

Bristow, VA: Row A, center, a pair of packages

Philly, PA: Row B, center, a pair of packages

I'll be in debt for a while, but hey, that happens every tour.

Congratulations Donna! Nice going! I wish we were going to the same show.

[Nylle]

Did you guys all get that 2 words in the box thing - that was BRUTAL!!

[WildflowerNJ]

Yay!! Emmie!!! Way to go!! :041:

I am very happy!! I got 3rd for Newark....5th for MSG!! I can't wait to see Steve Winwood and TPATH!!! YAYAY!!!

[AmyLou]

I am SO happy right now - SO HAPPY!

God I'm happy FRONT ROW DEAD CTR YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE


I am SO HAPPY for you!!!!!!

[emmie]

^^ Thank you both, honestly, I'm ecstatic.

[AmyLou]

Did you guys all get that 2 words in the box thing - that was BRUTAL!!

damn straght - and i had things like receivership (i before e except after c?) and uryguayan

WTF!

[AmyLou]

Ok, I'll be the annoying newbie. Sec 14 Row C in Cleveland on regular presale.

never annoying to be the newbie! Congrats and Have a great show!!!!

[WildflowerNJ]

I know.....that was something new!!!

[LizzieB]

Emmie! That's so great. I'm so excited for you.

[Nylle]

Glad your show finally popped up, Emmie - excellent tickets!! Congrats, everyone!

[Pettyjunkie]

Congrats people, especially Emmie!

[Mudcrutch]

I am SO happy right now - SO HAPPY!

I got FRONT ROW DEAD CTR for Toronto.

very nice. :045:

[kira]

Way to go, emmie. So pleased . Jumping up and down for you.
Everyone doing great. what a happy day.

[nurktwin]

that's great emmie

[AmyLou]

I think we ALL need a drink!

Chicago in 10minutes though - good buying vibes out for ZZ, Jean and the rest...

[LizzieB]

I think I'm going to throw up.

[emmie]

^ I'm telling you a celebratory drink is particularly in order after work :)

I wonder how Patty got on.

[Patty Petty]

I only managed to score a 6th row for Philly. I couldn't get anything worth our while for the Bristow show though, emmie. I'm sorry. I am so bummed out. :085:

[nurktwin]

KC----floor A row 2 seat 3

[Patty Petty]

That Bristow show was a bust. I was only trying for 2 and NOTHING better than the 10th. row or so came up. Yeah, may seem good to alot of people, but honestly? For emmie to fly here, and then it's a few hr. drive from here.. I was only going to settle for the 5th. row or better for us.
Oh well.. everything else is shitty in my life... why not this? :rolleyes:
I'll probably try again in the public sale, but I'm not too optimistic right now. :085:

[Nel]

Well, it seems the same fans always get the the best seats. Congratulations, once again.

I just spent the last 15 minutes trying for tickets to the Chicago show. I was never offered anything on the floor. Every offer was for tickets in the 100-200 section at the far opposite end of the stage.

This is the second time I got burned by this "Club." THIS time I'm demanding a refund of my $40.00 renewal membership fee.

[Nylle]

Aww, sorry Patty. Bristow is a hard ticket as I recall. I hope you'll be joining Emmie in Toronto though.

[LizzieB]

Kay and I got all dream packages:

1st row center in San Antonio, seats 27 and 28 (Mike's side)
4th row center in Dallas, seats 13 and 14 (hopefully in the middle)
2nd row center in Houston, seats 27 and 28 (almost dead center)

I think I'm going to throw up.

[Starfish]

Congratulations on the front row center, Emmie - that's wonderful!!

Patty, I'm really sorry Bristow didn't work out.

Congrats to everyone else who did well. I'm 2nd row in Philly and very happy.

[WildflowerNJ]

Patty, I am sorry, too...

Yay, Nancy!!

[tplover2]

Caroline, we might still make it to Philly, but it will be with public sale tickets since I won't know until closer to the date if I can get off work. Mike is a real history buff and we want to do some sightseeing! It will be great to see you again, and anyone else going to Philly!

Bristow, VA: Row A, center, a pair of packages

Philly, PA: Row B, center, a pair of packages

I'll be in debt for a while, but hey, that happens every tour.

Congratulations Donna! Nice going! I wish we were going to the same show.

[Mudcrutch]

This is the second time I got burned by this "Club." THIS time I'm demanding a refund of my $40.00 renewal membership fee.

and if they don't refund it -- dispute the charges on your card. you deserve the refund I would think.

[Starfish]

It would be great to see you again, Donna! Hope you can do it.

[AmyLou]

Well, it seems the same fans always get the the best seats. Congratulations, once again.

I just don't get it Nel. Right now there are Sec. 1 floor Row 13 seats (a pair) avail for Chicago. I am sitting on them and will go back in and hold them if you'd like.

[kira]

I printed out but seats didn't show. Memory says
Row J in San Antonio (row 10)
Row g in Houston (row 7)
Row 2 in Dallas (Dream Package) nothing good was coming up

Yikes! Glad it's over. Need to look for weekend job.

[LizzieB]

Yay, Kira! Kay and I decided not to do the Gorge and just go for all packages instead. I'm so excited now.

[Starfish]

I just don't get it Nel. Right now there are Sec. 1 floor Row 13 seats (a pair) avail for Chicago. I am sitting on them and will go back in and hold them if you'd like.

Out of curiousity, I just went into the Chicago sale and pulled section 2 row 21 on my first try (also a pair). Maybe you need to try again, Nel?

[KansasPettyFan]

KC----floor A row 2 seat 3

OMG!!!! Marion and I are seats 1 and 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[nurktwin]

wow, that's great

[AmyLou]

^ how about some enthusiasm there Nurk - try this

WOW! That's Great!!!!! :)

[Mudcrutch]

thats great

[nurktwin]

at my age, if i scream too loud, i'd shit my pants!!!!

[emmie]

^ Were you whispering there Ryan? LOL

[Doxiejoe]

Sec 2 row D for NY
Sec 2 row 5 for Tampa
sec 2 row 2 for Chicago
Sec 1 row 3 for Minneapolis

Whew! Its been quite a morning!

[Mudcrutch]

Sec 2 row D for NY
Sec 2 row 5 for Tampa
sec 2 row 2 for Chicago
Sec 1 row 3 for Minneapolis

Whew! Its been quite a morning!

crap you are all over the US. were those dream packages?

[Nylle]

Nurk's just exhausted from spending so much money this morning.

[bons]

I thought the HCC said only one purchase per show for members - I was able to go back in for the Omaha show and got 2 more with confirmation! Great seats!

[nurktwin]

max of 4 tix per show, max of 8 tix for the whole tour.

[AmyLou]

^ that worries me Bons - remember they reserve the right to cancel tix if you exceed allotment. Maybe you're ok but maybe they don't have the process to stop you buying and will hurt you later. Just IMHO but I'd get on the phone with either HCC or TM immediately.

Not max number of tix per show, but one transaction per show is my worry...

sorry for the buzzkill - hope it's all good!

[nurktwin]

oh ellyn, the tix are only part 1. part 2 is airline tix and part 3 is getting hotel rooms.

[KansasPettyFan]

at my age, if i scream too loud, i'd shit my pants!!!!

LMAOOOOOOO!

Yeah, thanks for getting excited that you get to sit by Marion and I! PUNK! LOL and you know I'm kidding!

[Doxiejoe]

crap you are all over the US. were those dream packages?


Yeah, I've been saving for a really fun summer this year.:) Some of those are places I was going to be anyway, so it just worked out.

[AmyLou]

Got my GR hotel yesterday before the presale. Marriott has a walkway to the venue.

[nurktwin]

are you bringing ribs from oklahoma joe's to the show???, you know we have to go there and eat.

[C-line]

Donna that would be great if you can come to Philly! Good luck at the general on-sale!

I'm thrilled with my tickets this morning. :003::003::003:

[Marion]

LOL Nurk! I hope you don't do that when you're standing next to us!!

I'm very happy with the tickets we got.

Emmie, special congrats after all that worry!!

I'm happy for everyone! HCC was pretty darn good to us!

Patty and Nel, I'm sorry you guys didn't do well.

[bons]

did not exceed the max tickets so hoping all is well -

[KansasPettyFan]

Good job, everyone!

Patty and Nel...keep trying...you just never know what will pop up. And try at the regular sales too.

Nurk, I think they sell BBQ at the arena. lol

[nurktwin]

most everyone seems to be getting good seats and the process hasn't screwed up yet. i still have another hour to go for the hollywood bowl and that might be a tough show because all the movie stars have season tix for the prime seats. but last tour we got good seats for the bowl, so hopefully that show will go smoothly too. who knows, maybe jeff will show up again or maybe even ringo to join tom onstage for 'handle with care'.

[nurktwin]

well, we are still going out to dinner 1 night.

[Magnolia]

WOW! Great seeing all this good news. Patty, and Nel, keep trying - you
never know!! Emmie - front row dead center and in your home town no less -
what a dream come true!
Is the final consensus that the "Dream" package is worth the extra $ or not?
As far as better seats than the regular HCC presale? What do you think?
I was just going to go for the regulars at Hollywood Bowl. Hmmm..... decisions!

[bons]

amylou -
took your advice - fanfare said that if you purchase 2 and want 2 more you HAVE TO GO BACK IN for the second purchase using the same code so it is cool.

[Starfish]

I think it depends on the venue, Barb. You really don't know until you try.

[emmie]

Well the dream package was worth it for me regarding the great seats - however, I've already got the book, I'm not impressed with the T-shirts and whatever else they are offering with it. My husband reckons they should offer drinks and snacks instead with Tom at that price LMAO!

[Mudcrutch]

I think if you got in quick, the Dream Packages were yielding better seats.

[Disco Stu]

Well, I'm feeling a little sick to my stomach. Couldn't really afford it, but went for the Dream package anyway. (Winnipeg) Got row 2 at the end, which is nothing to sneeze at, but 1/2 hour later, I could have had row 2 center. Now, an hour and a half later, I see ROW 1, dead center!!!! WTF????????

[AmyLou]

but remember emmie - it's a special shirt! I'm holding out for the brown paisley one... :):045:

[emmie]

I actually didn't decide to do the dream package until about 15 minutes into the sale and only went for it because not particularly good seats were showing up before.

[AmyLou]

Well, I'm feeling a little sick to my stomach. Couldn't really afford it, but went for the Dream package anyway. (Winnipeg) Got row 2 at the end, which is nothing to sneeze at, but 1/2 hour later, I could have had row 2 center. Now, an hour and a half later, I see ROW 1, dead center!!!! WTF????????

a phone call can't hurt - really it can't! esp. if those seats are still unsold. give it a try...

[Mudcrutch]

(Winnipeg) Got row 2 at the end, which is nothing to sneeze at, but 1/2 hour later, I could have had row 2 center. Now, an hour and a half later, I see ROW 1, dead center!!!! WTF????????

its those tickets people looked at, but didnt buy. they got released back into the pool. :mad:

[nurktwin]

i think that after you get the 1st dream package every other package should come with an option to get the good seat for reg price. after all, how many books and t-shirts do i need? and i agree with colin, drinks and snacks for the whole house.....lol.

[wild1forever]

Glad that most of you are doing well. Emmie, that is AMAZING! Congrats!

[tplover2]

DiscoStu, sometimes people search for tickets, then decide not to get them and the seats go back into the pot. This may be what happened to you, but who in their right mind would turn down front row center??? I was all over my tickets like fies on ...well, you get the picture! I was afraid I would be too slow and lose them! :119:

[Echosoftom]

Wow! Congratulations to everybody! Looks like most of you did really well. Sorry, Nel and Patty. That is a bummer.

I just want this L.A. show to hurry up so I can go to bed. I hope I do as well as you guys.

[nurktwin]

barb, i don't know what to tell you on reg tix or a package, but i went for dream packages and after those cities, i tried reg tix for cleveland and came up with 3rd row and took it. so it's a toss-up, but i think the hollywood bowl will be tougher and i'm just going straight to a dream package. good luck and i'll see you in june.

[nurktwin]

i agree, why would someone pass up front row center. my guess is that they didn't get everything completed in time for the purchase and the tix went back into the pool.

[Mudcrutch]

This may be what happened to you, but who in their right mind would turn down front row center??? I was all over my tickets like fies on ...well, you get the picture! I was afraid I would be too slow and lose them! :119:

Actually I can imagine a LOT of people that weren't planning on actually buying them, but just being a looky loo. :098: to them.

[nurktwin]

if someone just wanted to look, why would they pay $40 to join and look with no intention of buying?

[Mudcrutch]

if someone just wanted to look, why would they pay $40 to join and look with no intention of buying?

they really couldnt afford it. many people are in the club and are not going to shows, or are getting regular tickets.

[kira]

Good luck to the Pacific buyers!!

[Patty Petty]

Good luck to all of you west coasters.
Well, emmie and I did it... The Dream Package for Bristow... 2nd row center.

So, for me it shall be Bristow - row 2 and Philly - row 6.

[Refugee]

Okay, I can look now. Congrats Emmie!!! Sometimes worrying pays off, lol.

I just got in the Pool Circle for the Hollywood Bowl! I'm so happy! :003:

[Refugee]

Good going, Patty!!! You two will have such a good time!

Congrats to everyone else who did so well. I'm so glad this is over, lol.

[Nylle]

Good job, Ref!

[Starfish]

Congrats to everyone!!!!
I'm so jealous of everyone going to Bristow. We had the best time there!

[Doxiejoe]

Pool B row 2 for the Hollywood Bowl!

[fandlinvegas]

Congrats to everyone who scored great tickets!

Got 2nd row pool circle for the Hollywood Bowl. SOO stoked right now! :003:

[Magnolia]

I'm VERY happy right now, too!! For Hollywood Bowl,
Pool B, Row 3
From the looks of the seating chart, they're pretty dang sweet
seats! Woo-hoo! I gotta call Melissa, then go back to bed. :045:

[surfnburn]

Congrats Linda!!!

I got row 400 (center) in the garden at the bowl. I've never been there. Is that really far back?

[Magnolia]

Hey Doxie and Fan, we'll be right behind you guys!! YAYAYAYAYAYAYA!!!

[KansasPettyFan]

YAY, Linda! That is GREAT!

[Babydoll]

I'm dying here! Is Pool B Row front row 1 dead center?
I Need to Know?!! If it is I'm going to faint.

[Refugee]

Ames - did you get Garden seats?

[Doxiejoe]

I think Pool B is just to the right of center, but I'm not positive.

[Pawie]

I got a Garden seat too, (maybe 4?) I am not sure... 361 is that a good one Ref??

[Echosoftom]

For Hollywood bowl I got Garden section, Row 574. That's just what I wanted! :003:

[Pawie]

Looks good. I just looked at the seating chart.

[Pawie]

Yay, Sharon. You're close too :):)

[Echosoftom]

^ These are great seats Lotta! I love the garden section.

[tplover2]

Congrats to everyone!!!!
I'm so jealous of everyone going to Bristow. We had the best time there!

That was a great show! And the venue is really nice, too. Congrats, Patty and Emmie! You, too, Ref on the Hollywood tickets!

[Katie]

Congratulations to everyone! I can imagine its been a very hard morning on you all. Sounds like most people are pleased! :)
I'm holding out for SF, so let's hope they get on the ball on announcing that one...and not last minute,either!

[Patty Petty]

I have never been to Bristow... I am looking so forward to it! :)

[kira]

Congrats to all for the California shows!!!! It's been a long, hard morning and I'm so please there are so many happy farmers.

[Patty Petty]

If anyone is interested... I just punched in one for the Philly show again, and a 6th. row popped up.

[Refugee]

I got a Garden seat too, (maybe 4?) I am not sure... 361 is that a good one Ref??

Yes!!!!!!! Very good!!!!

[AmyLou]

If anyone is interested there are package pairs of Row A tix right now at Grand Rapids!

[WildflowerNJ]

Yay!!! I love reading this!!! Congratulations, everyone!!! :041::041::041:

[LizzieB]

I'm still amazed at all the good seats everyone is getting this year. This has been a great presale.

I can't wait for summer! :026:

[WildflowerNJ]

It sure was a great presale, Lizzie....this morning, though, I was so nervous...I was like this...:119: haha!

[pettytheft]

Good going everyone!:045:

[pettytheft]

Thanks to HCC for coming through for all of us in a BIG way! :cool:

[Pawie]

It sure was a great presale, Lizzie....this morning, though, I was so nervous...I was like this...:119: haha!

That's how I looked when my puter went down just when I started to try to buy. And when giving up I made onother try thinking I'd take whatever I can get :eek:.... and ended up in the Garden!! :003: HA!! It's good Ref?? WOW!!
Is that where you guys sat last year Sharon??? I think I was in the Terrace then, Bambi and I ...........

Wooo Hooo for this presale indeed!!! :045:
:118::041::040::icon_bee1:

[Refugee]

^ Yes, that is where we sat last in 2006. Those are great seats Lotta, and very comfortable. Never know who you will sit with either. Last time, Gina and I sat with that actress who played on Star Trek and now is on Shark with James Woods.

[Pawie]

Bringing my camera and a BIG lens....

[nurktwin]

hell, last time we went to the bowl, i got to sit and meet all kinds of stars. let me see if i remember all their names. ref, lotta, barb, marion, beth, johni, anna, mark, carol, sharon. who am i forgetting, there were more. and i'll never forget that girl hanging out the car window, woohooing 3 people walking up the street having a great time carrying beer and wine to the hotel. it was me, anna and mark. that was so much fun. we'll do it again!!!!!

[surfnburn]

Ames - did you get Garden seats?

Yep! I'm in the garden section with Sharon and Lotta.... Woot!

[guitarstudent]

Geez, my 11th row seats for Nissan seem like lawn seats compared to what everybody got.. Of course, I opted not to fork out the $ for the Dream Pkgs.. Worked out to $582 vs $243 for a pair ... not sure I did the right thing.... anyone been to a concert at the arena in Glendale AZ? Might reconsider the Dream Pkg for that show...

[normandi]

Awesome pre-sale... I am very happy as I did better than I thought I would trying for seats at the Hollywood Bowl. Got a couple of extra books to give away for birthday presents now... but the great news is I will be joining the other Hollywood Swingers in the 6th Row of the pool section! Congrats to all who got the great tickets I have seen! This is very exciting. :cool:

Very happy for Emmie on the Toronto tix! Per Mr. Grohl the Toronto crowds are the best and as such they play better there! :cool:

[Marion]

I'm so happy that the sale went so well for most everyone today. Kudos to HCC! You finally figured out how to help us! You had your act together today and I must say, Ticketmaster was pretty friendly today too!

I was very happy that we were able to see our seats for the dream packages before we purchased them. That would have driven everyone crazy to have to wait till the day of the show to know if they got the seats they would be happy with. We would have had to fret about that for 4+ months so thank you very much!

Also, I was shocked to see that there were no "convenience" fees added on top of the ticket price. Thank you for that too!

I think over all this was a very happy day for Petty fans! THANK YOU HCC and all who made this happen!!!

[Refugee]

OMG!!! I finally get to meet you! Love your avatar!

[Echosoftom]

I have to agree with you Marion. Even though the Hollywood bowl ticket sales were a little rocky in the beginning, they finally came through. This was smooth sailing compared to the last tour. I'm so glad they got rid of those blind special package deals too. Now everyone knows where they're sitting right up front. Today was a good day. :003:

Hey Normandi and Guitarstudent! It's good to see you both.

[Pettyjunkie]

Congrats Farmers! I wish they would hurry up and put SF up.

[LizzieB]

I agree Marion. I was so pleased not to see a convenience fee. When I figured it all out on a per ticket basis, I just couldn't believe virtually no fees!!

[Marion]

You know dropping those fees on those tickets really meant a lot to me. If they wanna charge a fee for the convenience of me doing all the work to buy my own ticket then just bury it in the cost of the ticket so I don't know about it. I'm much happier that way. :045:

[Patty Petty]

Yeah, it WAS nice not to see all the added fees!

[straight into darkness]

Well I am happy to say that I am taking my boys 9 and 14 to see the show at the ACC in Toronto. I actually got close floors and thenopted not to take them and move to the side bleachers so the boys will have a better chance to see. Still pretty close though. Wife said are you going make them wear ear plugs and said nah, nose plugs are probably better(:

[Marion]

Congrats and welcome to the Farm!

From my experience, I have never had to wear a pair of ear plugs to a TPATH concert yet and I'm a believer in ear plugs at concerts. Their sound is always perfect!

[Ladywiz]

Congrats Farmers! I wish they would hurry up and put SF up.

Oh I am in the same boat! I bought tix for Charlotte just in case the ATL show is (GOD FORBID) canceled or something. I just hope we get a presale in our cities, too!

[straight into darkness]

thanks,
I don't think i have ever seen a TP show with "bad sound" now either come to think of it.

[Tara]

Congrats to everyone on their ticket purchases! Sounds like most of us did exceptionally well :) It's always better when the real fans are up front.

[Magnolia]

I just looked on the seating chart that Normandi posted over at the officials and it looks like Melissa and I are right in front of Ron!! Woo-hoo! I could not have planned it any better!!
See y'all in Hollywood!!

[Refugee]

You know who will be pushing you out of the way! LOL! :077:

[Starfish]

Yahoo Barb! Here's Normandi's seating chart - the link takes you to a broker site, just click to enlarge it -

http://www.openseats.com/tickets.aspx?VID=737&PID=578753

[Marion]

I love the Bowl!

http://www.eventinventory.com/graphics/maps/map.cfm?737-1-1-main.gif

[Marion]

I love HCC! Tickets prices on that broker site for the seat I got in the 5th row for Tampa are going for $960 each! Actually, I'm in the center section and the section they have is Floor 3. We beat the bastards!!

[Athena]

YES!! My section D row 6 for Hollywood IS on the side I want!!! When the pre-sale started I tried two or three times and it said no seats available. So I went for the package. I was surprised to see they were only $255 instead of the $310 I thought they would be.

The Irvine sale made me nervous. I didn't want to buy the package for there, I didn't even need pit. I just wanted something in the first couple rows of the orchestra. I kept pulling up loge. Finally I got what I was looking for :)

Sorry for being so long winded. I've been stuck in a room all day with people arguing and no one to tell about my tickets.

[Doxiejoe]

Well, I picked up another ticket for Minneapolis for a friend, and pulled section 1 row one....but I think its all the way to the left side aisle....Which would you choose: the front row ticket all the way to one side or the 3rd row ticket closer to center? I'm torn...

[Refugee]

Athena, Mike and I are in Pool D too!

[Athena]

Wait, my Bowl tickets are section B, not D. Oh well. I was hoping to be on Mike's side for at least one show.

[Athena]

Athena, Mike and I are in Pool D too!

I'll trade ya ;)

[LizzieB]

I was wondering what you got, Dawn. How could I forget you were in a meeting all day? Lol, that was pure torture!!

[LizzieB]

Well, I picked up another ticket for Minneapolis for a friend, and pulled section 1 row one....but I think its all the way to the left side aisle....Which would you choose: the front row ticket all the way to one side or the 3rd row ticket closer to center? I'm torn...

I'd say 3rd row.

[Refugee]

I'll trade ya ;)

That's pure torture. I LOVE and ADORE both those men. :heart:

[Bambi Bee]

Lotta,
I remember being in the Bowl with you! What a blast!!! Terrace? Garden? Who knows! It was dark & cold & really cool.......(as in cool, you know).

[Magnolia]

Doxie - I'd probably go with 3rd Row Center, too. Both are EXCELLENT, tho!
Can't go wrong!
Athena, we're on the same side - in front of Ron. I know - I love to be right
in front of Mike, too! Ahhh, that guitar sex is better than the real thing!
Oh I'm just so happy tonight. Today's sale could not have gone better as
far as I'm concerned. Glad that there are so many happy Farmers today!!

[Bambi Bee]

Thanks for remembering me at the Bowl, Nurk! I was one of the faithful waiting nearby while you were sweating bullets wondering what they had done with your tickets......................!!!!

[Bambi Bee]

Marion....you're right--the HCC deal seemed relatively smooth.....I think we still have some fees on top for Houston, though..............

[Bambi Bee]

Ref,
You were BORN for the HB pool.......I guess they are ordering extra security for Mike & Ron...........

[Bambi Bee]

Yes---congrats to all on an overall successful ticket raid....encouragement also to those who suffered snags...I hope it's quickly better!

I managed 3 HCC price tickets together in Houston/Woodlands in the fifth row.I think it's gonna fall behind the handicap seats....which I know from last tour can be a fine slice of concert!!!!

I know this tour is going to be a blast...good job, Farmers! We have A LOT to anticipate!!!! I look forward to meeting some new friends in Houston, too!!!!

You're right, Marion...I think this new system beat the cyber buzzards....take that.

[KansasPettyFan]

Did we ever beat the bastards??!!! I have been checking four broker sites and still NO floor A seats at the KC show. How cool is that?! Yay for Tom for not backing down! Whoohoo!!!

[LizzieB]

I look forward to meeting some new friends in Houston, too!!!!

:D Can't wait!

[Zombie Zookeeper]

Oh wow... I think I had something to say 13 pages ago.. but now I'm lost in a world of numbers. Congratulations to everyone who scored great seats! Emmie, I don't remember what thread you said something about Tom licking his teeth for you, but it was funny and now you'll get to see it!! Congrats! Sorry for those of you who got screwed (again).

[Iwazzabadboy]

3rd row center..Right by Iwazzabadboy

[fandlinvegas]

Hey Ref, my friend and I are in Pool D too :)

[Pawie]

Lotta,
I remember being in the Bowl with you! What a blast!!! Terrace? Garden? Who knows! It was dark & cold & really cool.......(as in cool, you know).

Yes, Bambi, it was the Terrace. and so cool. My TPATH baptism !

It was really really cool :):)

[Pawie]

I'll miss you in Hollywood, Bambi....

[Refugee]

Ref,
You were BORN for the HB pool.......I guess they are ordering extra security for Mike & Ron...........

They should, hahahahahaha!! :heart:

[Refugee]

Hey Ref, my friend and I are in Pool D too :)

YAY!! Party in the pool! :003:

[Marion]

I just saw your post DoxieJoe....I'd go with 3rd row center. Being way off to the side you could be blocked by Benmont's piano and never get to see more than Mike's feet.

[Magnolia]

I love HCC! Tickets prices on that broker site for the seat I got in the 5th row for Tampa are going for $960 each! Actually, I'm in the center section and the section they have is Floor 3. We beat the bastards!!
Ha ha, Marion! I just looked up my tickets at the Bowl on Stub Hub
and they are going for almost $2,000.00 each!!

[Doxiejoe]

^wow! That's crazy!


Thanks for the input, guys. I'm going to wait to get a solid answer on seat numbering before letting my friend know where she's sitting. What I think will be all the way to the left may end up being center aisle since apparently the box office has said two different things. We'll see....

[Ladywiz]

Hahaha indeed! My seats in CHARLOTTE are going for $1000 a ticket. Damn glad I went ahead and got them! Oh, will the Atlanta show ever go on sale? This is killin' me...

[Mudcrutch]

can someone PM me the broker sites you are looking at? I gotta check that out.. haha..

[MsDemeanor]

Woke up this a.m. still feeling an odd need to jump for joy ~ 2nd row floor in Minneapolis! ! ! Went for the Dream Package right away, the regular seats my daughter was pulling weren't at all thrilling, I think the closest was about row 13. She ended up with row A section 113 right off the stage -- some pretty awesome seats! Great to see so many happy fans (even better to be one of 'em). Think I'm gonna check out the regular sale too just in case I can improve ;)

[emmie]

Awesome pre-sale... I am very happy as I did better than I thought I would trying for seats at the Hollywood Bowl. Got a couple of extra books to give away for birthday presents now... but the great news is I will be joining the other Hollywood Swingers in the 6th Row of the pool section! Congrats to all who got the great tickets I have seen! This is very exciting. :cool:

Very happy for Emmie on the Toronto tix! Per Mr. Grohl the Toronto crowds are the best and as such they play better there! :cool:


I didn't even know you were a member over here. Well, it IS a better class of people after all LOL.

You know though..Toronto DOES have great crowds. If nothing else we're a "polite people". We don't take our willies out in the middle of a crowd and pee where we stand just for a start off! Unlike the Darien Lake crowd.

[Tara]

hey emmie...congrats on those front row toronto tickets! i'll likely be right behind you in the second row, lol

[emmie]

^ We should look for one another this time. We never seem to connect.

[Tara]

I'm sure it won't be too hard if I'm directly behind you...I'm second row CFLR. Last time at the Amphitheatre I had 3rd row but was way off to the side.

[AmyLou]

FYI for the Grand Rapids people -
Just got off the phone with the venue. Van Andel first three rows CR A, B & C are set up:
50 seats across
facing the stage, numbered right (1) to left (50)
so 12 is Scott's side, 25 dead center, 37 Mike's side.

[kira]

Hey Bambi,
So glad to see you here. I hope we can meet up in Houston. Kay and Lizzie will be there too so we should find a place to meet before the show.

[normandi]

I didn't even know you were a member over here. Well, it IS a better class of people after all LOL.

Yes indeed it is a better class of people.

Hey, it looks like you might have the makings of a party there in Toronto! I know it is gonna be a pool party at the Bowl!!!! :045::077::cool:

[normandi]

Hey Refugee, Athena and Relic,
What seats are you in Sec D, Row 6? I have seats 9 & 10! And what is all this talk about extra security needed in your section??!!! :cool:

[Wingspan91089]

I got a ticket for section B row 18 for the Palace. Not as close as everyone else got here, but I'm happy with it! :D I've never had floor seats before! :)

[Refugee]

Hey Refugee, Athena and Relic,
What seats are you in Sec D, Row 6? I have seats 9 & 10! And what is all this talk about extra security needed in your section??!!! :cool:

:003:

Normandi, we are in Pool D, Row 5, seats 13-14!

[Athena]

^
We are actually in Pool B, I thought it was D. Row 6, seats 11 and 12. It seems like most everyone else got D. We're going to be all alone over in B. :085:

[Lazlow]

I got 8th row for the Friday, August 15 Gorge show. I am very, very happy about that because I didn't go the Dream Package route.

I'm in the second seat on the left-hand side of the B section (between Tom and Mike).

It's weird knowing I'm going to a show half a year from now.....

[decacerata]

I haven't seen anyone else mention Fort Lauderdale...
Scored Section 1, Row B... pretty much dead center. Purchased at 10:02AM.

Of course, I too checked later, around 2PM... Section 1, Row A. But, they were on the side. So I think I'm happier with Row B that way. :)

Will be my third show... last two were during the Echo tour. Its been toooooo long!

[kira]

If I wanted to try for tickets again today on the new presale, does anyone know it my tickets will be wiped out from the other day. I'm going to try for San Antonio since I have 10th row. Maybe I can do better but I don't want to jepordize my other seats. I looked on HCC presales but could not find.

[Mudcrutch]

Will be my third show... last two were during the Echo tour. Its been toooooo long!

yea this could be the last tour too.. well thats what they said last time anyway.. :cool:

good time to get back into things. :)

[Doxiejoe]

Lynette and I will be in Pool B as well! I'll be in row 2 and she'll be in row 7.

[kira]

I figured it out. There was a Live Nation presale today at 10:00 for some of the venues. I guess because I signed up with them they send me an email about their presale. The seats started two sections back - the section before the lawn. Interesting.

[tplover2]

I tried for Philly in the presale this morning, but no luck. I'll try again in the general sale monday but I'm not hopeful. Out of curiosity I looked at the ticket broker sites to see if tickets were showing up yet. I should have known...will call pick up tickets are listed at over $1000 each! :013:

I will be at the Sunrise/Ft. Lauderdale show. I got Section 1, Row B too

[Athena]

Lynette and I will be in Pool B as well! I'll be in row 2 and she'll be in row 7.

A Relic and Athena sandwich! :) I'm glad we won't be all alone over there. I wouldn't want Ron to think we didn't love him.

[Magnolia]

A Relic and Athena sandwich! :) I'm glad we won't be all alone over there. I wouldn't want Ron to think we didn't love him.
Doxie, Lynette, Athena, Relic, my daughter and I are right there in
the B pool with you, all fighting for Ron's attention! Woo-hoo!
Can't wait! :045:

[Refugee]

^ Don't worry, I have Ron covered. ;)

[KansasPettyFan]

^ There's gonna be a rumble in the pool! HAHAHAHA

[nurktwin]

i hope you all can swim!!!!!

[tptatoo]

I got 2 tickets sec4 row 6 in Chicago but will probobly sell cause he's coming to Summerfest!!!!!!!! Thank you Lord!!!!!

[MaryJane]

I'm getting my tickets on Monday for Chicago. I will report them ASAP! Congrats to everyone here! I'm glad everyone is doing so well!!

[Raelin]

For Chicago: Sec. 3 Row 3 Seats 12-14 :cool:

[MaryJane]

See you there!!

[decacerata]

I will be at the Sunrise/Ft. Lauderdale show. I got Section 1, Row B too

Yay, someone else that is going! It was weird because I kept checking for tickets and like, they didn't seem to be going anywhere. But I was only checking Dream Packages... maybe the regular seats were going.

When I found out I missed the Gainesville show last year, and then they said it could be the last tour, I lost it :( I just couldn't afford to go all the way up to Gainesville, get a hotel, take off work, etc.,etc... plus the only seats I could get were $350/each and waaaaaaaaaaaaaay in the back.

So I was prepared this year :) So long, tax return!

[Ilovetench]

4TH ROW, CENTER - HOLLYWOOD BOWL!!! :045:
IT SURE IS A DREAM PACKAGE! ;)

[Marion]

I'm so happy we all got our tickets last week and we did so well.

After the band reminds everyone today at the Superbowl how much they love Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers those tickets will be snapped up tomorrow! We thought we were nervous last week! Can you imagine competing with all of that?!!

[WildflowerNJ]

It is exciting how well everyone did!!!

I will still be a little nervous tomorrow...I still have to try for tickets...

[MJ§LastDance]

^ Well I did not do that well... :085: But I´m sure when you´re actually there it doesn´t matter where your seat is, you´ll have a great time anyway and that´s what matters! Besides I´m just so so happy and thrilled to go to a concert since this will be my very first! :)
Much luck with the tickets tomorrow NJ, hope you´ll get a better seat! ;)

[Starfish]

Your very first concert - now that IS exciting! It will be interesting to hear what you think :)

[WildflowerNJ]

MJ, that is exciting!

Thanks about the ticket buying......but it is not for me.

[conmae]

I got 2 tickets sec4 row 6 in Chicago but will probobly sell cause he's coming to Summerfest!!!!!!!! Thank you Lord!!!!!

I will be hoping to score some decent pre-sale tix for Summerfest also. I am torn as to going for the Dream Package or settling for anything I get. Where are you located?

[jschaff]

Row K Seats 1-4 of the center section at the Dallas show. Got on RIGHT at the stroke of 10am. This is as close as I have ever been to a concert except for the Beach Boys front row back in 1965 in Houston.

[kira]

I'm going to try again today for seats in San Antonio. Will see what happens.

[Gatorfan]

I think HCC has been good to the fans....overall everyone did quite well. I had an unforseen problem with my credit card which cost me 2nd row seats in the center. When I finally solved my problem, I was looking at row 19, which I gave to my kids. My friend and I opted for the Dream Pkg. We both got Sec.B Row 3, Seats 1 & 7 at The Palace. :)

[wild1forever]

I'm trying again for Hollywood this morning. We'll see what's left. :085:

[kira]

The seats were far, far away in Selma and The Woodlands when I looked this morning

[WildflowerNJ]

Well, I am very happy now!!!! Got my June 5th Philly ticket....Section 123 Row 4....that is Mike's side.....:heart:

[wild1forever]

Yeah, I'm in at Hollywood! Hopefully the "obstructed view" seat won't be TOO obstructed. Heck, an obstructed view is better than no view at all, lol.

Section D, row 3. :041:

[Starfish]

Congrats Beth and Toni!

[WildflowerNJ]

Yay, Toni!!! Congratulations on the ticket!!:041:

[conmae]

I am just sick to my stomach after doing the ticket thing for Summerfest!! Stupid me thought I could put the first ones I pulled on hold for the 2 min. (2 Row 8 on the side) and try for a little better-HA! Lost them and then I couldn't pull ANYTHING! Ended up having to get a Dream Package (1 ticket Row 10)..twice the cost and alone!! I could just kick myself!!

[AmyLou]

check your PMs right now!

[Marion]

Aw, I'm sorry Connie. Sounds like AmyLou can help you though...fingers crossed!

[AmyLou]

^ Marion - convince her that all is on the up and up with me and my ticket-bud here in Chicago! she's apprehensive! :) vouch for us...

[Marion]

Connie, go for it girl!! Don't hesitate!

[fandlinvegas]

Row 1 section BBB for Glendale :003:

[Marion]

You're smiling! Is BBB 2nd row? :003:

[Refugee]

^ Congrats Kianna!

Connie, go for it!

[MaryJane]

Section 106 Row 7 Seat 8 for chicago...thats what i get for letting a friend buy my tix...:(

[fandlinvegas]

You're smiling! Is BBB 2nd row? :003:

No, BBB is the center section on the floor. I'm so stoked, first row center. HCC really came through this year!

Is anyone else going to Glendale? I'm flying solo so I would love to meet up with some people.

[nurktwin]

BBB sounds like a bra cup size!!!!

[Starfish]

Connie!!! You can totally trust Amy Lou!!! Do it! whatever it is, lol.

[WildflowerNJ]

Yes, fingers crossed for Amylou to help you, Connie...I am so sorry. I am now remembering the first time I tried for TPATH tickets...after joining this place I call home now. I was so excited....the band was coming to the PNC. Ticket day came up....I was nervous and bought the first tickets that came up...in the 300 section. I did not know to throw them back..... I felt sick to my stomach...and so sad....but I ended up buying a friend's (Marion's :) ) ticket for Row H.

I hope things can be fixed for you...(((Connie)))

[KansasPettyFan]

Good job, Kianna! That is so awesome!

Go for it, Connie!!!

[Pettylicious81]

Well..LOL I might be in section 322 LOL but I got my tickets at least. I may have the seats I least wanted but I'm going...FIRST CONCERT EVER SO WOO!!!

[Starfish]

AHHH a Petty virgin, lol. Have fun!!!!

[C-line]

I had nose bleed seats for my first TP&HB concert, but it still made a HUGE impression, obviously. Enjoy your show, Pettylicious!

[MJ§LastDance]

Well..LOL I might be in section 322 LOL but I got my tickets at least. I may have the seats I least wanted but I'm going...FIRST CONCERT EVER SO WOO!!!

To which concert are you going?
Do you remember? There was a time when we hoped so much that they would tour very soon and we wanted to go together then! You... and me... and the whole Sisterhood :D

[petty4me]

Grand Rapids - 1st row
Chicago - 2nd row
Milwaukee - 2nd row
Minneapolis - 2nd row
Glendale - 1st row

I think I'm looking forward to the Grand Rapids show the most since everything will be new and surprising - we won't have any idea what the set list will be. By the time the Chicago show rolls around, we'll know pretty much what to expect. I'm hoping that something changes up by the time of the Glendale show.

[Pettylicious81]

To which concert are you going?
Do you remember? There was a time when we hoped so much that they would tour very soon and we wanted to go together then! You... and me... and the whole Sisterhood :D


I am going to the Chicago show in July and I'M SO EXCITED :003: Omg I remember MJ...I so was hoping that would have worked out but I'll tell you all about my show if you tell me about your show if you are making it:003:

[Refugee]

^ That is so cool. I know you will have a wonderful time! So refreshing. :)

[WildflowerNJ]

Hey, Pettylicious..my first concert was in a July...back in 2001. And I was on the lawn..in the pouring rain. It finally did stop...but that night made me a fan forever!!! Looking forward to hearing how your night is.....

[Marion]

YAY Pettylicious! You will have a blast!

[MJ§LastDance]

I am going to the Chicago show in July and I'M SO EXCITED :003: Omg I remember MJ...I so was hoping that would have worked out but I'll tell you all about my show if you tell me about your show if you are making it:003:

Oh I was hoping that so much too! But I never really believed that there would be a tour so soon! :eek: It would have been so awesome to go with YOU! Oh well, if there´ll be a next time, we´ll go together! :) Yes I´ll make it to the two shows in Philly. Sure, you can tell me all about your concert and I will tell you all about mine. :D

[Pettylicious81]

Oh I was hoping that so much too! But I never really believed that there would be a tour so soon! :eek: It would have been so awesome to go with YOU! Oh well, if there´ll be a next time, we´ll go together! :) Yes I´ll make it to the two shows in Philly. Sure, you can tell me all about your concert and I will tell you all about mine. :D


I know...when I found out I had to check everywhere to make sure it was a real thing but Omg I'm so excited!!! I'm like, impatient for July to get here now. We will for sure, if they decide to do one more tour, go see them together. Omg two shows..taht's awesome :) I'm so excited for you :003: OMg we're gonna have fun :003:

[poppiesgal]

My hubby & I are going to the show in Selma (San Antonio), Texas - got Orchestra 2, Row E, Seats 4 & 5 w/the Dream Package. This will be our first time to see TP&TH live - I'm sooooo excited!

[Magnolia]

^ Oh Poppiesgal, you and hubby are going to have the time of your lives!!!

[WildflowerNJ]

Hey, poppiesgal, congratulations!!! You and your husband will have the best time!! I can't wait for summer!! :sun_smiley:

[The Wild One, Forever]

I don't think I mentioned it before, but I got third row for Glendale. :003: The only place Ive been for their concerts, not counting Superbowl, is way up in the nosebleeds. So Im really excited.
