[BelichickFan]

Tickets go on sale in a few days.  Has anyone been to this place before - is closer better or is further back, Boxes, Mezzanine, whatever, better ?  I know it's largely preference but some places handle close better (sound, elevation, etc).

[TheAtliator]

Tickets on sale at DT.net!!! Got mine!

I got mine too.  Came out of nowhere, I thought they weren't on sale until tomorrow.

[TheAtliator]

Me too! Luckily I caught this soon enough today!

[BelichickFan]

Orchestra Right, G 22 for me.  Couldn't have asked for much better other than a little nearer the middle.

[TheAtliator]

You're like 5 seats away from me!

[BelichickFan]

You're like 5 seats away from me!

As we got our tickets around the same time I'm not surprised.  Very exciting, April isn't far away . . .

[RaiseTheKnife]

Platinum.  Front Row Center.  See you at the show!

[RaiseTheKnife]

Live nation Presale started today.  Plenty of good single seats left.  Third row for $104, as well as many other single seats in the first 15 rows.

[TheAtliator]

So how come those weren't available to me when I bought them first on DT.net? This is really crappy. The best I could get was 7th row, which I'm totally happy with, but I still don't know if even better seats were available somewhere and not on sale yet, because NOBODY IS FREAKING SAYING WHAT THE ACTUAL TICKET SITUATION IS.

[RaiseTheKnife]

Yeah, these ticketing agencies are sometimes goofy.   Who know what their alotment actually was, and how they got dsibursed.  Crowd Surge shut down presale tickets and Live Nation took over, and looks like a few straggler seats were left in the open.  But I imagine this happens often in a large event like this, with multiple (international) agencies handling the sales. 

Best I could get at Riverside was 12th row, which is ridiculous since I logged on 18 minutes after the unexpected announcement of sales.  Be interested to see  which open seats remain when tickets go on sale to the public in January.  I mean, its Riverside, how did nine rows of VIP sell out that quickly?  Or did they?

[TheAtliator]

I actually just got my question answered in the other thread. Yea it looks like some of the very front rows aren't available on DT.net, but some good ones are. I'm happy with what I got for both shows though.

[CodyWanKenobi]

WHY THE FUCK ARE THEY NOT AVAILABLE ONLINE ANYMORE!?!?!

[CodyWanKenobi]

Nevermind. hahaha. Got mine! Going with my girlfriend, my buddy, and his girlfriend. And MAYBE my buddy from Michigan is gonna fly in and see the show with us too! This should be a fuckin killer tour!

[Lark the Starless]

My girlfriend and I will be going!

So, from what I've heard, tickets were on sale at DT.net on December 18th?!?

If so, damn, I could have gotten way better seats. But, what can you do?

I'm perfectly fine with the seats I got, Balcony, Row H, seats 209 and 210, right in the middle (after spending almost an hour getting tickets on my smartphone in the parking lot of a Jack in the Box in Barstow, CA on the way to Vegas at 10 in the morning ). You know you're a DT fan when...

Damn you, mobile Ticketmaster!

It's a small venue so every seat in the house should be great.

I originally wanted to get Orchestra seats but my girlfriend convinced me otherwise. In case I do manage to get tickets for the Riverside show, the  extra money I would have spend at the Orpheum could be spent at Riverside. We will see...

Excited as hell for the "Evening With..." format!

Hey guys, I'll be visiting LA in April (from Sydney) and have bought a ticket.

Is the Orpheum in a relatively safe area? Downtown LA scares me! I've been to LA before (but only went downtown to the Staples Center to see the Lakers). Based on what I've read I'm getting nervous! Mainly because I'll be by myself. And I won't be driving (If I was driving I'd be going to the Riverside show too!) I'll (most likely) be staying in West Hollywood and I don't know whether to get a hotel near the Orpheum for that night or catch a cab back to Hollywood? BUT... will there be cabs? It's freaking me out! So, any advice? 

BTW The two times DT have been to Australia I travelled all around (with my brother) and went to every show! So I'm a massive fan 

[CrimsonSunrise]

Just bought ours... ORCH Center, Row C, won't know the seat#'s till tix arrive.  Kinda a roll of the dice.....not a big fan of not knowing EXACTLY where my seats are prior to buying.

[kevinhirsh]

Hey everyone,

I am trying to track what I did with my tickets for LA on 4.19.14. I purchases them directly from the DT.net website. Would anyone here happen to remember if they received them via email (printable) or if they were to be mailed? If so, what was the email address they came from?

Thanks!

[BFRedrocks]

I ordered mine through DT.net (CrowdSurge) as well, and here's what the receipt says:

"Ticket Delivery
Printed tickets will usually be despatched up to 14 days before the event to your account address. If you do not receive your tickets 5 working days before the event please contact us through the CrowdSurge Customer Support Centre"

So with my concert on April 20th, I'll be expecting my tix around the first week of April.  Hope that helps.

[kevinhirsh]

Perfect! Just the information I needed. Thanks a lot!

[CrimsonSunrise]

LA Roll call!  Who's going?  Me and my buddy will be there!

[CodyWanKenobi]

I'm going with my woman, my buddy, and his woman.

Or if anyone wants to fork over $360 there's 6 seats dead center front row for resale at the Riverside show 

[RaiseTheKnife]

In store appearance in Long Beach day of the show . . .  plus I have meet & greet passes for later that day.  Can there be too much DT?

NEVER.

I'm going to the Riverside show and meeting them there. I'd go to the Long Beach signing if I weren't already going to Disneyland

Where is Riverside?  Im from NJ and not very familiar with the area.  I am coming for work and may even have to work late into the evenings and weekends so going to see DT may not even be an option, but the LA show was a saturday night so I thought Id probably be able to go.

Depending on traffic about 1 hour east of downtown LA

Anyone up for a pre-show meet?  Maybe the LA Brewing company 1/2 a block away? 

https://labrewingco.com/

Not too familiar with that block area, but it looks pretty cool.

I'll probably show up given that I'll have all day from about 11am to showtime with nothing to do except drive from Riverside to L.A.

Cool!  Yeah, I spent some time up there last summer shopping for wedding rings a couple blocks over from the venue.  There are some cool restaurants and bars in the area.

I'll be there see if I find anyone.  I'll probably be wearing my DT NYC t-shirt, never been to this place before sounds like a decent place though.  Need to find TheAtliator, poor guy has avoided all things DT since the tour started so he didn't know the setlist.  He's going to both, too, I hope it's been worth it for him.

A friend of mine and I will try to make a hangout. We're traveling from Idaho and will be at the in-store earlier that day.
