50th Anniversary Tour Dates (as they roll out) (*UPDATED, Feb 15th*)

[Mahalo]

So glad to see SPAC, Bethel Woods, and White Plains on the list... now, which one(s) to chose....... 

[Mahalo]

It's official-  Bethel Woods it is!!!

I hope Mike wears the same outfit in Erik H's avatar....

How else would he get groupies?

[bridencar]

YAY!!!! May 11th can't come soon enough

But my aunt found some site that says the first 40 rows are already sold out (scalpers??) (& the tickets don't officially go on sale til the 27th), anyone know if this is legit?? I'll cry if it is

The Benedum holds some tickets for members and offers the seats to them first..Fortunately i am a member! Don't know if this is the reason though.

I've bought tickets from the Cultural Trust before (so I have an account with them), but (and this may sound really stupid) can I become a member? If so, how? I'd sell almost everything I own for good seats to this concert!

Than you should be on thier mailing list and if not i'll let you know if i get something.

Anyone know the presale password for the Chicago show?

[MBE]

I couldn't get decent Chicago seats on presale but only paid a small bit extra for six row seats on Ebay! I really got lucky.

[Alex]

C'mon SPAC! Open up sales to non-members already! I can't wait another week. It's either that or pay $100+ for a passport to get to Montreal!

[Andrew G. Doe]

O'Leary.

[DJ M]

Is anyone else around here planning on attending the 1st show in Tucson?

[Uncomfortable Seat]

This is great - I'm going to see them May 21 in Chicago and then July 1 at Summerfest in Milwaukee.  Only catch is this little thing called the G8 Summit that is being held here May 19-21. 

Damn it!  And Mike warned us about just this sort of thing 41 years ago . . .

[CarlTheVoice]

It's gone very quiet on the European/ROW leg of this tour. Does anyone have any news? It seems weird that some of the European dates were ready to go on sale and now they're not there! Well I can't see any.

They removed those dates from the lists and had the press release just say "the North American leg", but they still went on sale as planned. I bought tickets for the two Italian dates today.
I assume they're still arranging the tour dates for the rest of the world, and will do a single announcement when they have firmed up dates for Japan, Australasia, maybe South America and (we can hope) the UK or Ireland.

The Italian dates were both 51 Euro (about £42) and 'general admission' (they both look like standing gigs) incidentally. I figure if I fly on a budget airline, stay in a youth hostel, and generally do the trip frugally, they'll come to under a hundred quid a ticket - which is only around the price for good tickets for some of the American gigs...

[CarlTheVoice]

That's a pretty good idea and a chance to see another city! I think I will hold out for a UK date, if there aren't any then I miss out big time but there's four of us that want to go and it would be quite expensive for us all to fly, stay and watch!

Understandable. I'd have made that decision myself normally, but after living my entire adult life on the poverty line I managed to get my finances sorted out for the first time this year, and paid off all my credit card debt just a day before they officially announced that there was a reunion. I promised myself then I would go to all the UK shows, and that if there were no UK shows I'd go to some European ones. If they'd announced these dates even three months ago I wouldn't be considering travelling...

[CarlTheVoice]

I am happy that everything has worked out well for you - if there are no UK dates you will still get to see them and that will be an unforgettable experience.

I want Mike to take OSD backstage for some Mike/OSD groupie action!

[Pinder's Gone To Kokomo And Back Again]

here's some good info regarding their Hollywood Bowl date:

I have a feeling these shows are going to be targeted by scalpers then jacked up to 5 times the price

I hope nobody on here misses out on tickets, get em fast

Second Chicago Theatre show added

A second show at the Mohegan Sun Arena in Uncasville, CT has already been added for May 13 due to overwhelming demand. The previously announced May 12 performance at the Mohegan Sun Arena sold out in one day.

I got a little afraid. Were these tickets really sold to fans who will actually go to the show or by scalpers and will the shows in the worst case be empty because no one will buy overpriced tickets  ? I don't want this tour to be a desaster....

If that's the case: hooray !!

[ArchStanton]

I hope to get seats to the Colorado show at Red Rocks as it is the closest one to good ole Omaha- that venue looks incredible.

Are they doing AmEx pre-sales for all shows or just the Hollywood Bowl?  If so, I wish I had one now! 

[Jimmie_R]

I just got my tickets for the July Sweden show!!  so happy!
