OK. I was just curious, but it's not like I HAVE to know! You got the important info. Thanks.
I saw someone post on FB that they got third row with VIP. I wasn't sure if they got it through Felder's package, though, or through another band's. The problem is that if it's like Eagles VIP, it's first come, first serve, and you might get further back if you wait.
Another problem is that I'm not sure how they're divvying up the Felder VIP seats with the Styx and Foreigner VIPs. Do they all come out of the same pot? Or does each act get a section? If you're competing with Styx and Foreigner VIPs, it could be harder to get a good one.
That said, if you're going to skip VIP and go to a scalper for a good seat, they may try to charge you more than the VIP ticket price - plus you usually have to buy in pairs with scalpers. It's hard to say as the tour hasn't started yet, but it's a possibility. Scalpers - I'm sorry, "ticket brokers" - are just out of control.
You can try your luck with tickets dropping but that's no sure thing. It used to happen all the time but it appears with VIP ticketing that last-minute drops of primo seats are the exceptions rather than the rule.
Finally, can we assume Felder will continue doing the free meet'n'greets when he goes solo again? If I were you, I'd ask him to make sure if you skip the VIP M'n'G.
Ack, so many uncertainties!
