Irving Azoff Personal and/or Professional News

Thanks Soda.

I think I'll keep checking Tm and if nothing comes up by noon tomorrow, I'll just take what I can get at the box office. I'd like to have great seats, but not that bad I guess!

On-site scalping can be good and bad. The good news is that they will probably charge a bit less than online scalpers, and if you're willing to wait until the show starts, you can get tickets for less than face often. The bad news is that the scalpers might not have what you want and haggling can get tense and stressful.

Personally, I only do on-site scalpers as a last resort.

How badly do you want good seats? If you want them really badly, then use the online scalpers. Otherwise, I'd wait it out; keep checking TM and if nothing pops up, do the box-office day of.

I agree 100%. I prefer not to use on-site scalpers if I can at all help it.
I've never gone to a show and tried my luck at the day-of, box-office gamble, but several boarderers have and have had great results.
Personally, I'd go for the online "sure thing" and get the tix now.
Good luck with whatever you decide!!

Additionally, with on-site scalpers, you run the risk of fraud - those e-tickets can be printed out multiple times. However, hard tickets are usually safe (although not foolproof).

I'm one that has had pretty good luck buying Eagles tickets the day of the show. The worst I've ever done is when Soda and I went to Louisville. I don't remember what row we got, but even though the tickets weren't great, they were pretty good considering we were buying two tickets on the night of the grand opening of the KFC Yum Center. One of the best parts about it is that you pay face value at the box office. But, obviously, the downside is that there are are no guarantees. I've never been to a show in recent years though where I wasn't able to get something at the box office on the day of the show. Good luck, Brooke. Even if you don't have a premo seat, I bet you'll have a great time anyway.

Dreamer, I checked the Louisville thread. You had 3rd row and that's the worst you've ever done? Where would you prefer to sit? Sugar's lap? Never mind. Silly question!!

Oh wow, now that would be a seat!!

HH - Sugar's lap works for me! But, obviously, you already know that! Unfortunately, those 3rd row seats in Louisville were in the second section back, so we were probably about 1/3 of the way back on the floor. Hardly conducive to lap sitting on stage, but still they weren't bad seats at all. We were on the end seats of the center aisle with a great view, and could have easily moved up a lot closer when everyone was standing.

I think there were probably about 30 rows ahead of us, but we were able to see, and our position near the aisle gave us plenty of room to dance around. We still had a blast!

There is also a Qand A with Irving http://www.billboard.biz/bbbiz/recor...06016752.story

Can't say I'm suprised by Irving toping the list as the most powerful individual in the music industry!

Congrats to Azoff for his receipt of yet another music industry accolade.
