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

[STE]

It's so annoying that the European dates have not been officially (re)released but tickets are already selling..

Anyway, got my Italian tickets, now thinking about Sweden.

The first Chicago show sold out in minutes, second is nearly there

Tickets secured for the concert in Denmark the 1st of August.  Bring on summer!

[SurfRiderHawaii]

I'm hoping for a Hawaii concert following Japan to wrap the tour.

And some England dates - the Brits have been die hard supporters of the band
(even when the US wasn't 67-73) and it be a shame if there weren't any shows
there.

The Australian and NZ dollars are very high at the moment. Will make sense to come down-under and make some real coin next summer!

AGD has said it will  could be over mid- August but if all is well they should take a break then tour south including S America, Hawaii later in the year.

Better AGD? No offence meant.

And hopefully to the advantage of Aussie punters - big act good seat tickets are clocking in around $180 the moment

Hello, and I don't think so. This is what I actually said (on the BBB MB):

"Looking at the announced dates... and factoring in the three semi-officially announced shows in Japan in August, I'm thinking the following:

1) there will be slightly more than 50 dates: 48 officially scheduled plus the Japan three is 51. Hopefully there'll be a UK (and antipodean) date to add to that 51.

2) the whole she-bang could be done, dusted and packed away by mid-August."

Please don't put words in my mouth that I never said: things tend to get ugly when that happens.

I'd say, based purely on my unsupported assumptions and counting on my fingers, it'll be done by mid-August - oddly, the date the London Olympics close.

Didn't see the BBB post, but the above was posted on this site.

Will be/ could be/ it'll be....I'm not about to get in a discussion on the finer points of the English language but no offence was meant on my part.

I'll try again

AGD said on this site he thinks 'it'll  be done by mid- August', but I feel if all is well, they should take a break then tour south including S America, Hawaii later in the year.

I think someone jumped the gun.

Does Al have any German in him?

Ja, aber er ist Ganz Allein.

Immer, wenn ich auf die MIU Album der Beach Boys zu hören, brennt es wie Feuer, nachdem ich urinieren.

 

Ihr spinnt ja wohl alle!

Nein Micha –
das sind mystische Andeutungen. Die Kombination zwischen TM, Feuer, und Urin ist eine geheime Mitteilung. Sie will uns sagen dass während der zweiten Hälfte jedes Reunion-Konzertes das vollständige M.I.U. Album, und die komplette Summer In Paradise-platte gespielt werden wird.
Da läuft mir schon das Wasser im Munde… wunderbar!

M.I.U. während der Pinkelpausen !

Ach so, das wird auf den Toiletten gespielt!

Gothenburg, 29 July. I've got tickets!!!

[Shady]

Both Beacon shows sold out in 10 minutes..

Man, they should be playing bigger venues but I guess this was the bands decision, just hope the real fans got some tickets

[Justin]

Yeah this tour has been a feeding time for the scalpers.  For the Beacon shows, for example, the theatre sits nearly 3,000, and about 600 tickets went to scalpers for each show.  Including of course most of the front seats going for thousands of dollars.  So with the VIP Nation taking a portion of the front rows for their meet and greet packages and now the scalpers nabbing those seats too--it leaves very few for real fans to enjoy.  Sure few got lucky got some but there is no guarantee anymore that a fan can have an equal chance to get those front row seats than anyone else.

[Rocker]

How do we know how many tickets went to scalpers ?

[Andrew G. Doe]

Because Justin is a scalper ? 

[Rob Dean]

Because Justin is a scalper ? 

And he bought them JUSTIN TIME 

[Justin]

Because Justin is a scalper ? 

HA!  It's a good business...what can I say?  Anybody need 2 for the Beacon? Anybody?  Get your Beach Boys here...get your Beach Boys here! 



Regarding the number of tix that scalpers grabbed, I got it off stubhub.  You can see for each venue how many tickets they have for re-sale.

Beacon Theatre - 600 tickets
Chicago Theatre - nearly 1000 tickets for each show!! (WTF??)
Hollywood Bowl - 2500 tickets!

Yep true , maybe the Radio City Music Hall down the road which holds around 6,000 would have been a better choice , however there are a number of shows in the not too distant area

JUSTIN CREDIBLE!

Seriously what bastards  
How are they allowed to do this with the restriction of number of tickets per transaction ?

Its like organised crime ( I know its not criminal , but it is a crime to real fans )

I honestly wish I knew Rob.  They must have a network of people working for them to increase their chances to get the seats.  I doubt it's just a 2 or 3 man operation but rather a whole team to try to counteract the true fans trying to get the same tickets. 

Many acts now are trying to combat this epidemic by issuing paperless tickets...no tickets issued, simply show ID and receipt of payment and you're in.  I recall AC/DC doing this when they were last on tour.  Went to see Ryan Adams last year and a portion of his tickets went to scalpers and his management actually fought back and TOOK BACK those tickets from scalpers.  Bob Dylan I recall once did a show where it was just cash upfront at the door...no tickets.  You got in line, paid and in you went.  But it was a small club show so it was easier to do that.

Still though, I wish the Beach Boys would have taken some precautions for this.  With this obviously being a huge tour, they should have had the forsight to make it a little harder for scalpers to get to the tix.

Opening act for the 6/13 Cleveland show is Foster The People. It's a one off, apparently.

They're playing a mixture. Some theaters, a lot of amphiteater-style venues.

Nothing they're playing is much bigger than venues either Brian or the Mike-Bruce band have played on their own. I honestly don't know if they expected such demand.

I hope a miracle happens and I have enough money to buy tickets. I want to go see this show SO bad...I missed out on one of Carl's last shows in 1997, and there's no way I'd want to miss this.

Good for them.  During that after-performance interview at the Grammys I recall Al looking up at Mike saying that wouldn't be a bad idea if they opened for them.  It will be interesting to see the full roster of acts opening for them.  I wish they had gotten Blondie and Ricky to open...that'd be nice.  But alas...
