Pre-sale questions (several threads merged)

[Chelle]

First: Does anyone know if the pre-sale through the forum will have more... or better seats than the pre-sale through Amex?

Next: Does anyone know the pricing breakdown for seating at the Fox Theatre in Atlanta? Orchestra, Loge, etc.

Thanks for any insight or info. Trying to get a plan together for the pre-sale.

Is it ticketmaster? Because I am on there now and it seems like the three Atlantic Canada dates are not on there.

What are the chances of getting a close to front row seat with this pre sale?

much love

12 concerts will be sold by Ticketmaster (.com or .ca) and six by local sellers.
Our quota includes great seats in all categories. To get to the very front, you may need to buy a VIP package.

Maybe I shouldn't be, but I was surprised [okay, shocked] to see that Miami's venue has it publicly posted on their own website that the Fan and VIP-package Pre-Sales begin on Tuesday, 01/15, at 10 AM.
[Hmmm... I went back, and it seems it's actually Ticketmaster that has posted all this. NO surprise there!]

US $28.50 Ticket + US $10.85 Fees = US $39.35
US $248.00 Ticket + US $24.10 Fees = US $272.10

And another sad fact, if you Google James L Knight Center, very, very SAD how many tickets are already for sale. Right up to the front row, from AA to EE and everything in between. I hope if they are bought through the leonardcohenforum that someone will take action.

[hollyism]

Oh and one last question! Is there a limit to the number or presale tickets you can purchase???

[lizzytysh]

So far [at least on Ticketmaster], it's been 6, hollyism.
Not sure about Tampa.

[Chelle]

From the ticketmaster page for RCMH:
"There is a 6 ticket limit on the VIP packages and an 8 ticket limit for the Fan Club Presale."

I'm hoping this will be the same for all shows, as I need to get 7 tickets for Atl.

[lizzytysh]

Oh, okay... that's good, then. I guess I noticed the 6 because I was looking at the VIP... and was buying only 1 ticket, anyway. Good luck.

Why is Ticketmaster not listing the Tampa Bay concert?

***Because Ticketmaster is not the seller of this concert. / Jarkko***

[CathyontheRock]

Can you advise if the presale times are "local time". Also where exactly will the passcode be posted?

***What about having a look around here and reading the instructions? / Jarkko***

[LindaB]

So who is the seller of the Tampa Bay concert. What site do I go to?
