Re: 2006/09/07 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center

THANK GOD, i was starting to worry that they weren't coming to L.A. Now if i miss out on tickets for L.A. i can still shoot for Bakersfield. Or vice versa!

This is gonna be sweet.

I heard it mentioned on KROQ that these go on sale this weekend - I thought I heard "Sunday" but it might be Saturday morning too.

It'll be Saturday at 10:00am PST. Always is. I am starting to think they might have an open floor GA for this show too. That would be interesting since I have never seen a show there like that (always seats, even on the main floor). Anyone here ever see GA on the floor at Staple's?

yes, staples center is whored out by ticketmaster. sometimes shows dont appear till a day or two prior to the onsale date. its only tuesday. relax. its the staples center.
how are the acoustic's at that place, anyways? maybe a good sound will make up for it being such a disgustingly huge venue.

They're not great. The place was clearly intended for sporting events. You will find a lot of high end gets lost before it even gets to you and certain lower bass frequencies will rumble your guts loose.

The good news is the line of sight is pretty good almost anywhere in the arena. It's a recently built place so it's clean. It has an excellent beer selection and access to most seats (except the inner seats in the 200 section) is very good.

I'm pretty sure Bakersfield had a similar situation, tickets being announced within 2 or 3 days of going on sale. I'm just glad i have money this time and buying tickets won't make me broke.

Still not listed though. If it was going on sale this weekend it would most likely be up there by now. Next week maybe?

I have found that pre-sale is hit and miss as far as quality of seats. They block out a section of seats for the pre-sale but sometimes better seats are available during the regular sale. I guess I will try pre-sale though and see what I can come up with.

Good find. Anyway, GA has its pros and cons as does reserved seating so this isn't all bad. Going to be interesting to see what tickets they throw out to us in the pre-sale.

kroq has access to tickets because they are the promoters of the concert. you get presales because you sign up for the kroq mailing list at their website.

yes the presale is on the ticketmaster page.

too bad i can't afford any tickets right now.. good luck to you guys

overdraw...overdraw...overdraw!

It's only a $25 fee and you can get as much as $500 - well, with washington mutual atleast. Just make sure you pay back within a month.

Re: 2006/09/07 - Los Angeles, CA - Staples Center

So I'm in in section 102, which is not bad, but I was so on that at 10:00:01 (atomic clock time) that I wonder if any really good seats were in the presale. How did everyone else do? Now I have to book my ticket from San Francisco, since they're playing Oakland over burning man weekend. LAME! I guess it's Maynard's way of keeping out the hippies :)

Oh, and HUGE THANKS to the kind soul who posted the presale code.
