I had a little trouble today and got locked out after about 5 minutes of trying. It was weird because I didn't really get locked out of other shows, just Tampa. The best I did on the floor was row 11 and I kept pulling up the very same seats over and over in section 129.  They were good but Thurston is not my guy!  Haha!  Anyway, I ended up  logging into the Google browser and I was back in business for about 5 minutes!  What the heck?  I was so frustrated!  I tried one more time in Internet Explorer and that worked!  I logged into TM again and was able to use the interactive map and choose my section and my seats!  I ended up with seats a little higher than I wanted but I think it will be good!  I got section 118 - Row K on the rail on the stage side. There will be nobody next to us and hopefully no drunks running in and out!  
My advice to all is if you get locked up, try a different browser and for me, internet explorer was best in navigating TM showing the interactive seating chart. 
Good luck to all!

I had browser problems too. I had 3 tabs open, every so many attempts it kept saying to try again later and wouldn't work until I closed out the browser. And that "I'm not a robot" stuff got annoying fast. Not the stressful part is over and we just have to wait for the shows.

I got tickets for Cincinnati (Sec 2 Row Q), Columbus (Sec 2 Row S), and Indianapolis (Sec C Row U).  I got greedy early on and threw back some really good tickets and ended up a lot further back than I was hoping for.  Looking at the seat map it looks like most the better seats appeared to be for the premium ticket packages.  In 2014 I went to 4 shows and had front row for 3 of the 4 and was hoping to get similar.

Red Rocks BABY! I'm close enough, but not center. Important thing is I will be there with the BEST rock n roll band on the planet! AND Joe Walsh is opening-WOOHOOOOOOO!!!

Scored 13th row for Boston via hcc legacy.  Took me 5-6 tries to get floor. $155 each. Sweet deal and seats!
Any reason why no Fenway this year?  Seemed early enough to book?
 

The War Department, A.K.A the wife!!!! She doesn't care for concerts, especially up front!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Feel lame i have to ask but what is WD?

I pulled Sec 1 once for Cincy, but ended up throwing them back because they were too far back. I ended up with Sec 3 row H. That was the best I did. But it's 11-12, so hopefully I won't get hassled by staff about having a camera with a detachable lens... the only thing I'm worried about is that it's "floor" and I'm 5'1". I'll have to dig around on Amazon for some platform boots! LOL!

yeah, it was kind of strange, I had 2 browsers open to buy. 1 was hcc and the 2nd ticketmaster and I was signed into both. When tix came up I had to enter name, credit card, address and security questions and more!! All that stuff was entered long ago and I checked and made sure yesterday. But I had to do it all again in 5 minutes or lose the tix! I have no idea how I typed in all that stuff in 5 minutes with 2 fingers, but it worked. I bought 4 tix, so I'll sit back now and wait for more dates to be added before I use the last 4 tix from HCC. I'll probably use the last 4 as 1 ticket buys with the special package and go to those show across the country alone, as I usually do. Hope to see all of you on the road.

That was so stressful! I'm honestly POed at these ticketing sites.
I can't tell you how many times I pulled (I was buying for two different shows in two different browsers).
I pulled the exact same tickets (section, row) EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.
Never before have I experienced such crap... LOL. Seriously!
Then, when I went into the "select your seats" type of purchasing option, that didn't even work properly.
Goodness, that was friggin' stressful!
I ended up with some decent tickets to Cincy (the 119 level - highest 'non package' tickets).
And some just "okay" ones for Indy. I would have bought the more expensive ones, but they had to do Will Call and my credit limit isn't big enough for me to take my CC and my ID and my face... lol
So I bought the tickets to the Cincy show with my guest's card and then used my card for the Indy show with mine (he isn't going) and had to opt for the cheaper ones because my credit limit... Haha. Confusing, I know.
Oh well... at the end of the day, who cares. I saw TPAH from 1st and 6th in the past and it was amazing.
Now I get to see them twice in one tour!

Okay, after almost 24 hours I'm able to breathe again...
- I got a Diamond Circle Ticket (and payed more for admission than I initially wanted - but hey, you get separate toilet facilities! )
- I booked a sleazy hotel room (because, let's face it, anything below 400 quid for 2 nights in London is sleazy)
- and I booked a flight (which was a bargain compared to #s 1 and 2)
The only other option for me would have been attending the two shows at Red Rocks, but airfare alone would have been what ticket, hotel and flight sum up to.
Hyde Park isn't my venue of choice, but it'll sure be a once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Listen to to interview I posted the link for above. It will tell you a lot. Tom is busy!

Well chuffed. Bagged tickets for me, my wife, my son and my daughter. All massive fans.

^ may I say, how very well put!
Been beat up an battered around.. Been sent up and I've been shot down... Reputations changeable, situations tolerable (to some).... Stuck in airports, terrorized, sent to ticketmaster hypnotized... Overexposed, commercialized... Seems, it all comes alive when a big tour is on the horizon, right... And it HAS to be done.

Hurry up and wait!  

Went to eye doc this morn and he said all was fine. I can actually see really great now and I can also see how bad the left eye really is, that I thought was good. He wanted to schedule eye surgery for the left eye in Feb, but with winter weather, we decided to hold off til spring. Actually, I'd do it tomorrow if possible, it only takes about 15 minutes and is painless, so I'm looking forward to getting it done and be ready to go for the 2017 tour!! I have another appt next Tuesday and a follow up in January. I'm actually reading and on the PC without cheaters for the 1st time in years!! If you need cataract surgery and have been holding it off, take my advice and get it done ASAP. It's fast (outpatient), painless and it works! From start to finish, you'll be at the Dr's about 1 hour. That's about it for now, TTYL.

So, no chance of getting this album in time for this Christmas either, is there? HahahahahahahahahaahahahaaaAAHhh!! Eh.. ok, I'm alright. Nevermind. Ah.. Ok, then.

Aw, I'm sorry to hear that.  Daddy Cool is a great band. What a treasure their music is to us. May they Rest In Peace.
