Dream Theater North American Tour Dates (Feb-Mar, 2025)

PW not working for Boston  fuck

Bit the bullet and got front row behind the orch pit for RCMH

[Grappler]

No thanks.  $160 for first row balcony in Chicago, over $200 after fees?  Or a required minimum two-ticket purchase for good floor seats?  Too expensive for me.

[El Barto]

Yeah, Dream Theater can fuck right off with their $500 tickets.

[crystalstars17]

Are LiveNation codes the same as Ticketmaster? Cant sign into TM.

HELP ME PLEASE!!! 😭

[Chino]

My total for CT was $79 after fees. As close as I could get in the section just behind the floor. I'm fine with that.

250 is the most expensive I see for dallas

[countoftuscany42]

LA tickets acquired, sec 103 row D was $168.  Reminder for anyone in California who isn't aware, ticket sellers here are now legally required to show the full price with fees from the start, instead of the usual face value price at the start with fees only added in once you go to the checkout page, so that's a $135 face value ticket plus fees.

[Chino]

I was confused. Presale at The Met isn't until tomorrow.

I was looking at NYC. Best seats were $350+TTL. More alarmingly, the worst seats in the house were $109+TTL.

As far as I'm concerned Dallas isn't on sale yet. Though I'm sure some scalpers know otherwise.

[Adami]

I got like 3rd or 4th or something row mezzanine, near the center for like 150 something.

Don't love it, but there's a chance something special happens at this show, so seems worthwhile.

Plus Stads may be there and that chance alone makes it worthwhile.

As far as entertainment in the heart of NYC goes, a 3 hour concert at RCMH for $109 doesn't seem too unreasonable. Earlier this year a pair of tickets to Hamilton ran me $440, and we were literally as far as you could get from the stage.

HELP ME PLEASE!!! 😭

Live Nation owns Ticketmaster, so when you click on an event from the LN website you're still routed to TM for the purchase.  a LN code would be separate from TM's code though, SOCIAL might be the TM code because SETLIST is the LN code

[King Postwhore]

$135 for Boston 26th row, Center.

As in Power Windows? 

[Lonk]

Got tickets for Philly, but RCMH....That will need to wait lol

[ReaperKK]

My 7th row seats were $155

I got in.

I have tickets for dallas, just checked out

[countoftuscany42]

I was confused. Presale at The Met isn't until tomorrow.

I would recommend you keep refreshing and see if they update the page, the Met's list of sales shows an Artist presale today with Live Nation/Ticketmaster presales starting tomorrow.  But unless there's something special about how the Philly show was set up, none of the shows have an "artist presale", which is a code specially generated for the band to promote to their fans, just as a Live Nation code goes out to Live Nation buyers/email subscribers etc.

It looks like the Philly team might have just botched the presale setup, and are likely trying to fix it right now as Platinum seats are starting to pop up (never buy platinum unless you're desperate, absolute BS variable pricing by demand)

How? I don't see them on sale until tomorrow

Yeah, something funky must be going on. I see a handful of random seats open. One is in the front row of the middle balcony, off to the side a bit, and it's $417.

[Lonk]

Really? It didn't even ask me for a presale code lol Maybe because I was signed in.

Ouch though, just checked and the few tickets left are showing at double the price what I got them for. Just wait until Friday I guess when the rest will be released.

Edit: Actually I just refreshed the page and more tickets popped up.

Thank you!

I'm using my husband's sign ins, he was not able to do it so I'm doing it, trying not to hyperventilate because I suck at this.

[willherrmann]

Anyone find the presale password for Denver?  Didn't see it anywhere in this thread.

[jk47]

Thank you!

breathe...you got this!

[Awaken]

Picked up tix for CT, MA, and NYC - kicked around Philly but hotels in Boston and NYC were more $ than I thought.  Really psyched for these shows and, of course, some pre-game shenanigans

I'm so confused. I only see 31 tickets available in the whole venue, and cheapest being 181.15

Can you share the link you're using?

Yeah that one's a platinum ticket.  By far my least favorite thing about the current state of the industry is platinum tickets, it's one thing if there is a VIP offering or some actual perk, but I'm never going to pay double face value or more just to be in the front row of a section if the second row is a reasonable price, there's no logic to it other than for people with more money than sense. 

[RaiseTheKnife]

Wow, I watched those pit tickets get snatched fast.  Here's what I ended up with:

Los Angeles:  Floor C Row 2 (which is technically a first row)
Raleigh:  Left Pit Row A

[EDIT:  Front row tickets became available later in the presale in Raleigh so I exchanged up]

[hefdaddy42]

Four tickets for Raleigh in the bag.  Section H orchestra, middle section.  All in - $482

So Lonk got a platinum ticket?

[brakkum]

2 tickets for me and the GF in Chicago, 1 for me at RCMH. Expensive morning 😅

I think we are looking at the same thing, it's just that with the dynamic pricing crap, I guess I got lucky for being early.

[Progmaniac1988]

Wow tickets sold fast!

Grabbed CT and NYC tickets, going with my wife to CT. So far going solo to NYC. Selling fast so made the decision lol
