I'd be down to check Saturday out if I could score a cheap ticket and nothing else was going on...

[sin213]

boooooo!

i sure as hell hope that this doesn't count as our "date" for the Primus/Gogol tour. fuck that shit.

[westcoastpirate]

While it is definitely not Coachella caliber, I do respect trying to get something decent started in the Phoenix area festival-wise.

[sin213]

i like how you didn't even feel the need to post the sunday lineup....it's really horrible. and friday isn't gonna do well either if STP is the best they got.

i would go to sat only for primus, sublime (hopefully not toooo horrible to watch), and weezer (prob leave early to beat rush).

...and DEVO!

[sin213]

i'll help booooo them off the stage. it'll be That Damn Show all over again for Devo.

[amyzzz]

Wow. I should go to that. Not really any of my favorite bands, but a lot of bands I sorta like. (and I missed Devo at coach).

[faxman75]

If it was 1996 that might be an alright show. I really don't care about any of those bands today though.

[sin213]

does anyone have an AmEx card and a high limit to buy a handful of Waters tix in the AmEx presale?

and what are you going for, faxy? tix are $55-200, and to get on the floor, it'll be at least $100.

Here are how the prices break out for US Airways Center:
LOWER LEVEL
US $55.00 - US $199.00

FLOOR LEVEL
US $99.00 - US $199.00

UPPER LEVEL
US $55.00 - US $75.00

Add $4.75 per ticket for the facility fee as well as the convenience fee, which I don't know.

[sin213]

i think i'll pick a price level, instead of doing best avail, and hope to get a decent seat for this. the cheapest floor is going to be all the way in the back, whereas i'd bet you could get a seat halfway up the first seated section for $100 as well.

[faxman75]

At this point my friend Ryan is dropping off $200 tomorrow. I need to get 3 tickets together for the Phoenix show so unless there are some radio station presales this Friday i'll just get in on the general onsale next Monday. So i'll be going with a price level as well. That's regarding Phoenix. I'm hoping me or Joel gets in on the Roger-Waters.com presale as we want to get 2 cheap seats for Vegas as well. I won't be able to get both this week so i'm thinking Vegas during the week if lucky enough to get in on a presale and then general on sale for Phoenix tickets with the top being paid under $200.

If I had an amex card I would get Vegas tickets out of the way.

[Mr. Dylanja]

Isn't this the type of visual show you want to be looking straight ahead for?

[westcoastpirate]

Unless I get picked for the rogerwaters.com presale I am planning on walking down to US Airways Center before work on Monday May 10th to see what is available. I plan on getting there at 8am, I hope it's not too crazy of a line.

[faxman75]

It would be nice but you're not guaranteed that on the floor either. All it takes is taller people to block your view. At least the seats are on a slope so most will have a better view of the stage. 100 level directly behind the floor might not be too bad. I think our Tool seats would be great too.

[westcoastpirate]

It looks like the floor will be broken into 9 seating sections, if you can get seats in the first row of one of the back floor sections I bet that would be pretty good even if you are short.

[faxman75]

I have yet to see any of the floor seats be less than the top tier of $250. Any idea if maybe those further back ones are? Oops I didn't realize top tier in Phoenix is only $200.

Ok so Section 112 Row 19 is the $100 range. You can pull up tickets in the amex presale you just can't purchase without an amex.

So the pricing goes.

$200
$100
$75
$55

yeah, if i could get my tool seats over again for $100 + fees or less, i'd be very pleased.

[amyzzz]

Don't go by price level! I never get anything to come up for lowest price level -- maybe if you only try for one ticket.

[faxman75]

I just pulled best available from each of the price levels and here are the results.

$200 = section 113 row 1
$100 = section 105 row 19
$75 = section 205 row 5
$50 = section 211 row 13

I think I would be fine in the $100 range.

[sin213]

yeah, that $100 section would be perfect.

wait...no its not...thought it was on side. but its in back.

113 is even further back than my tool seats and its still $200?!? damn...

[sin213]

the $200 tix in the front sections are all front 10 rows though. hopefully further up the section in any of the side sections will only be $100.

[Mr. Dylanja]

I think 113 row one would be perfect, further back for a more direct view, basically on the floor except elevated to see over everyone else. I actually almost had these exact same seats for Jay-Z when he came with Mary J and they were great.

[westcoastpirate]

I wish they would color code it how the prices break out.

Okay, right after I posted this I realized they somewhat do this but I need more details:
LOWER LEVEL
US $55.00 - US $199.00

FLOOR LEVEL
US $99.00 - US $199.00

UPPER LEVEL
US $55.00 - US $75.00

[faxman75]

I wonder which lower level tickets are $55. I'm excited to spend Thanksgiving in Vegas!

That is what I am trying to figure out...I see on the AMEX Presale it does give you the option for $99 floor tickets, but there were none available when you click through.

[faxman75]

I did a search for $55 tickets lower level that came up empty. Looks like my plan is definitely hope for the waters.com presale for the Vegas tickets and getting the cheap seats. Then in the general onsale Monday get $100 seats for Phoenix.

[sin213]

i'll do both shows too, but i'll probably come to vegas on the day of the show. i gotta stay in town to do thanksgiving with the family.

or maybe i'll leave right after dinner and get there the evening before...

[faxman75]

Right on, we can talk once we get closer and if we don't get presale we can look into getting 3 together in the regular onsale as well. I'll keep you posted about Vegas.

[sin213]

cool. i can put $$ in your hand anytime you need it, if you guys can get the 3 together for vegas.
