Concert Tickets

[Easyrider]

I am curious to know if any D'Live members have contacts for concert tickets or know any secrets on getting good seats at a REASONABLE price? A ticket broker in B'ham told me they would eat tickets rather than reduce the asking price for the ticket. He said this would hold true even for the week before or day of the show. Tickets have become increasingly expensive over the years, but they are available. Surprisingly, eBay offers good deals when you can find them. Fan clubs seems to be the new wave on allowing fans 'early buys' before tickets are released to Ticketmaster. I paid $100 per ticket for next month's George Strait (Miranda Lambert & Tracy Lawrence) concert in B'ham, but last year paid face value through fan clubs for Kenny Chesney & Toby Keith in Biloxi, and Motley Crue in B'ham. In 2006 there will be several shows that I would like to see, but only if I can get decent priced tickets. Any input will be appreciated.

I just got back from purchasing George Strait tickets for my friends. ( I live much nearer to the event than they do, Im a ticketmule) BJCC Feb 18. $59.50 each. You must have some awesome good seats! I go to Publix, nearest Ticketmaster site. Face value plus $5 TicketMaster fees, then sales tax. I plan to go see Nickleback, Trapt, Sheryl Crow in March. Face Value, after release to Ticketmaster $39.50. (cheap seats)
