I hate how its become the norm for ticket sales to begin literally the next day after a tour announcement, a couple days to a week to plan my finances would have been super great  :facepalm:
that being said, can't wait for the Wiltern show! Maybe ill swing the Fox Theatre show as well..

That's a huge tour by their standards. And they found a new place to play, although an even stranger choice. Seeing DT outdoors just seems odd.

I've seen DT outdoors. It's actually pretty cool. Gives a little life to their show.

No Connecticut date. The Oakdale is such a great venue. Perhaps they should have skipped The Astonishing there. Probably didn't make them look good attendance wise.
November 16th is the NYC date. Don't know if I really want to do that on a Thursday night.

Asbury Park on a Saturday night is looking very good, plus maybe I go into NYC the Thursday before.

So does anyone know the presale code for today?  I find clicking the link for more info on their website doesn't lead to anymore info about purchasing tickets.

I shake my fist in anger with you. They used to play the Oakdale a lot and then stopped in 2009. I was amazed to see them back with The Astonishing, but I feared that the low attendance would just reinforce why they hadn't been there for the 7 years prior. Super bummed. I get that we're fortunate enough to have like 6 shows within a 3 or 4 hours driving distance and some people need a flight to get to the nearest show, but still.

I know I'm spoiled being in Connecticut because I'm between Boston and NYC, but I'm still gonna bitch. The Connecticut show is super easy on a work night. NYC, not so much. Plus the Oakdale is as good a venue as there is. Not to mention, there are other suitable venues in CT they could play. The Waterbury Palace, College Street in New Haven, Ridgefield Playhouse among them.

I'd shit myself with excitement if they played The Palace. How big is The Bushnell compared to The Oakdale?

I can't find any info about the Toronto show either . Sony centre doesn't even have it listed in their events calendar . I'm really hoping most of the dates are next week so lots of us can prepare to snag some decent tickets

The SoundRink site went live at 10am EST for the the Boston date, along with Atlanta and Philly - NYC still listed as "coming soon"

Bummed about CT too...

Never been to the Bushnell but the refurbished Palace Theater in New Haven is now College Street theater. Its a 2000 seat hall which is the perfect size for DT.

*Seats and rows will be assigned in order of which it was placed. We will assign seats up to 2 weeks prior to the concert or once a date has sold out of VIP.

**ALL SALES ARE IN USD**

PLEASE NOTE: All items are picked up day of show at the merch table. Tickets ARE SHIPPED FOR THIS DATE.

I guess I'll just buy a cheap ticket then because I don't want to risk paying the 100 bucks and getting a seat I don't like?  Or actually, I don't think I'm buying a ticket at all today.  I don't like this at all.

You can't pick your seats, but I'd bet you could see them before actually buying them. At least find out what they're offering.  That said, I've always found presales to be a complete waste of time.

That's really lame. With today's inventory systems, I expect to be able to select my seats to any event that has assigned seating. I actually can't remember the last time I bought tickets and didn't have that option.

I don't want MP playing with DT unless they were making a drummer change. If they let MM go and bring back MP, then fine, but no guest appearance please.

Totally this, also, I have no issue paying 100 bucks to see DT, but let me know where I am sitting at that price.  It's not GA so I don't understand why they would expect someone to buy a high priced ticket without knowing the details.

Maybe it's just for the presale and the full sale I will see?  I'm not buying this yet.  Maybe waiting till the day of will get me the best ticket like last year.

May not go on sale today.  They weren't clear on what dates do and don't.  NJ tickets are on sale, but NYC are not.

Yea, I tried to checkout with the cheap tickets regardless and it never shows a seat assignment.  I do not play ball either, not like this.  I was totally willing to dish out money for a solid seat too.
