AC/DC ticket!

Sep 21, 2008 13:19

So I was on the phone with ridesandruns, telling her sadly how I was not going to be able to see AC/DC in concert. They are not coming anywhere near my town; the closest (and I use that word loosely) venue is Chicago, on Thurs. Oct. 30. I'd have to take a couple of days off work just to get there and back, and anyway they sold out Chicago about an ( Read more... )

Thank you! Yes, I feel very lucky. AC/DC sold out so fast in Chicago, LA and San Fran that they added second nights in those cities. And I never would have known had I not clicked back on their home page. The fan club utterly failed to notify us of the additions. Bad fan club president!

Well, these two concerts (AC/DC and Metallica) and the WWE show have pretty much blown my entertainment fund for the next year, LOL.

Holy crap, looks like the second night in Chicago is sold out, and Madison Square Garden in NYC.

But the worst story I read on the AC/DC community board is that Ticketmaster sold all the Vancouver, B.C., Canada show tickets to companies called TicketExchange and TicketsNow

That's outrageous. I can't believe that can happen. :( :(

Congrats on scoring a great ticket!

Thanks! I am very excited to be seeing AC/DC. It's been 8 years since their last tour, and considering their age, who knows if they'll ever tour again ( ... )

I was just wondering about Jason yesterday myself! The last line of the "Career" section on his Wikipedia page is so sad: "Jason has been out of the public eye ever since." I would have expected him to emerge as maybe a producer or something by now if he still can't play, but nothing!

I've recently discovered that I love general admission floor, even for crazy stuff like Nine Inch Nails and Marilyn Manson...yet I still don't know if I'd brave GA for Metallica. I've always gotten seats for them, and I probably still would.

Awesome! I'm so glad you got it!!

I am still amazed. The scalping of AC/DC tickets is insane. Just insane. The floor seats, like the one I got for $85, are selling for $3,000.00 each. And it's a paperless ticket system. You get into the arena by showing the credit card you used to buy the ticket plus a government-issued ID (so, yeah, how on earth are the scalpers managing this??) Now I'm scared I'll get to my seat and find 10 other people arguing over it because they "bought" it from scalpers.
