Hi CJ,
I was at the show at the Paramount show last year and I can tell you that the MOST expensive seats were the first 5 or 6 rows. I was seated in ORCH Row N (a little left of center) and the tickets were $99 EACH. It is a very small venue. The sound is pretty amazing where ever you are in the theater, though I was told that some people were not as well behaved upstairs. Downstairs you could have heard a pin drop. Three hours of pure heaven.
I tried yesterday too before I even read all this and was blocked. That is why I was interested in how to join the fan club for access today. How does one do that??
I checked the website of Eventticketcenter and all seats are available already now!
How is it possible???

Must be a scalper selling tickets that don't exist/they don't have yet. Note the prices!
They are asking $539 for tickets with face value $250.
Don't make the mistake of buying tickets from swindlers.

Not necessarily! They are instant tickets, which means the seller already has them. Often they originate from the venue/sponsors/ticketmaster etc. Due to the numerous contracts involved in any event, most of the best tickets never ever go on-sale to the public.
Thank you Jarkko - I got row D for the 6th, close to the central isle

Thank you so much – once again – for organizing the Forum pre-sale. I got tickets for Steve and I to the Vancouver concert, row 3 – wahooo!
I'm grateful for this second opportunity to see Leonard in my home town, and sincerely wish that many of the disappointed fans from Hawaii will be able to get to either Vancouver or Oakland concerts.
