I'll pay the outrageous price to be sure of great seats to at least one show, then I play the ticketmaster game of waiting for either the platinum seats or decent regularly-priced seats in other venues to go on sale. I have it down to a science. Thats why I call it my MM -- because until it's done and I get the seats I want, I'm like a woman possessed. My husband thinks its scary. I call it determination!
    Wow, I am feeling pretty stupid right now. I didn't know that the platinum seats were not released right away. This is obviously the reason why I have NEVER been able to get up close seats before.

    I got my 5th row seats through a ticket reseller this time..... Should I be concerned?

    One time I am going to do the ILAA package, but since my husband has been kind enough to let me go to 2 Don Henley concerts this year, and this Eagle concert (and last year I saw Don twice, because I won the tickets to one, and the Eagles twice) I thought I shouldn't push my luck . I am jealous HH!

    I don't know which reseller you used, so I can't say if you'll have an issue.
    I can tell you about my experience and which brokers I've used, but maybe you should private message me so I don't post anything that might be libelous. I had several good experiences and one very bad experience, but I'm a little leary that a reseller was able to get fifth row right off the bat. They sometimes speculate and then procure those seats afterwards.

    Anybody else have any input for Henleyfan?

    I guess it's hard to say anything much not knowing who the ticket was purchased from. However, I think that the well known brokers such as StubHub or Tickets Now are pretty reliable. It varies from show to show, but I have seen times where brokers had first and second row seat available as soon as tickets went on sale. It always ticks me off whenever I see that though - makes me wonder why I couldn't buy that ticket for face value on Ticketmaster. Good luck Henleyfan - 5th row is still a very decent seat.

    Thank you HH and Dreamer. After panicking a little I made several calls and finally confirmed through ticketmaster that the tickets are valid. Whew!!

    I agree Dreamer that it isnt fair that the resellers get the tickets first and we have to pay the markup.

    I just got an email from I Love All Access about their new packages. They haven't gotten any cheaper!

    Front Row VIP-$895 (front row in section Floor B)

    VIP-$695 (rows 2-10 section Floor A,B,C)

    Fan Package-$495 (rows 11-20 section Floor A,B,C)

    I guess we should be happy they didn't get more expensive, eh?

    The "fan package" for $500 - have they done that before?
