Title: Post Here If You Have....
Description: Got your Fair tickets
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 01:49 PM (GMT)
I am sitting here with knots in my stomach waiting for the tickets to go on sale. Let's get a roll call on who is going and where we are sitting.
lindagt - August 12, 2006 01:51 PM (GMT)
ME too - I'm only getting one ticket, but I hope I'm really close to ya'll. (How could I not be!) For Elliott's sake - I hope we have a sell out this morning.
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 01:52 PM (GMT)
I am going solo too. I hope it makes it easier to get a good ticket.

WHEW!!! I didn't get the knot in my stomach as I was hitting refresh continuously until when at exactly 10 o'clock it took forever to refresh. And then the next page took even longer. But I'm happy with the results.
I will most likely be going solo but I bought 4 tickets because I'm sure that some other E-trainers would like to have the extra ones between now and October. I have 4 tickets, Section C, Row N, Seats 1-4. :cheerleader:

Well, I bought the first thing that popped up, which was sec A row S. I kept trying and got sec C row O. Now I have an extra ticket. I swear, that computer system is screwy. I bet that if you were trying for 2 or more tickets you had a better chance. I think when you ask for one ticket it just trys to fill in the holes instead of giving you the best seat.

jessy,
But on the other hand one of those "holes" could be up front!

I am right behind you in seat 6. :D
harleywoman - August 12, 2006 02:50 PM (GMT)
I got on right at 10:00 (they hadn't even changed it from "more info" to "find tickets" but it had on sale now below it), I had an account so all my info was already there and I had logged in already.
I bought 8 tickets for my family and I got Sec. C, row X (16-23). :D
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 02:50 PM (GMT)
I have an extra ticket if anyone needs one. Section A, row S.
Rutti - August 12, 2006 02:50 PM (GMT)
I must have tried a thousand times to get really good seats. I finally ended up with Secion A, Row T, seats 23 & 24. I kept trying even after I bought them to get better ones. I tried for 45 minutes, but no luck.
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 02:54 PM (GMT)
They already have tickets on ebay. I am thinking a good chunk of the first row is held for the radio stations and JDRF. But still. Someone had to get rows B-J. Who dang it, who?
Rutti - August 12, 2006 02:58 PM (GMT)
How much are the ones on ebay, and are they good seats?
onlyforelliott - August 12, 2006 03:02 PM (GMT)
I wonder how the scalpers manage to get some good seats. Naw, I probably don't want to know.
I think that a block of the first rows are held back for special things like fan clubs, radio promos, family, friends, etc. Then, a week or so before the concert they sell those that haven't been claimed.

I saw two tickets in Section A Row L for $199.99, Buy It Now. And, two in Section D, Row R. bidding starting at $97.
Rutti - August 12, 2006 03:07 PM (GMT)
I am wondering what kind of luck we would have had if we went to Ukrops or one of the other places that are selling tickets. Then you would get to see exactly what was available to buy. I think they were selling them at some Ukrops stores and at Hechts, right?

When we spoke to the ticket office, we were told that only JDRF was being given a block of tickets, that as a "fan base", we couldn't get a block. Doesn't mean that I believe them! :no:

There are several of us E Trainers in that area. I'm AV, seats 20,21.
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 03:13 PM (GMT)
I have to keep telling myself that 15th row is not bad. I guess since I wanted something in the very front is why I can't be super happy. I guess I can still try to win some or pay out the butt on ebay.

Cfans,
Thanks so much for TRYING to get us a block!!!!
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 03:15 PM (GMT)
I know that JDRF has at least 10 tickets in the front row.

Yep, it's hard to know what to believe! Thanks cfans for trying to get group tickets so we could all sit together. We'll just have to make it a point to hang out the rest of the time we're there! I posted on another thread that I got Sec A, Row R, 14&15. I also got other seats first try: Sec E, Row S, 5&6, so if someone needs them, PM me.
Thanks again!! :cheerleader:
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 03:20 PM (GMT)
We should have a list for extra tickets.

Section F Row E. Not the best, but I'll be seeing Elliott in person once again. That's all I wanted. :)

And, since he has such a large family, I'm sure they will take up the first few rows!!!
lindagt - August 12, 2006 03:41 PM (GMT)
Not to worry, it's a pretty cozy venue - we'll all be fine with seats. I've even been to a concert there when I was in the far back corner and enjoyed it still! And you'll be with all Elliott fans - couldn't be better than that!!!

Is everyone still planning on doing some tailgating prior to the show?

I'll be there. I'll just follow the E-trainers from Holiday Inn. I'll stock my car with "goodies". :woohoo:
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 04:08 PM (GMT)
I saw on the AI board that someone got sec B row I.....hmmm!
jessykaw - August 12, 2006 04:09 PM (GMT)
Maybe we can talk to the people in charge and have a small area reserved for our cars to park. We can do a tailgate party there. Plus, it is a fair. Let's go have some fun.

Work2deth - August 12, 2006 09:52 PM (GMT)
i'm sad cause he didnt sell out the tickets. can still pull 8 up on ticketmaster.
however, i really did not see them promote that much this week that it was going on sale this weekend.
so i think alot of locals did not even have a clue if they did not go on message boards.

I still feel like it will be a sell-out. It may take a couple days though...
