Hi there! I have been following GBS for numerous years now. I am so grateful to be able to purchase tickets pre-sale! As one of your biggest fans (and I know there are many) it would be lovely if at all possible we could know immediately or soon thereafter what are seats are going to be (so we can manage our expectations). Or it would be helpful to understand the process used so that we can appreciate how seats are assigned. Best, Bonnie :)

I have to echo this, after getting terrible pre-sale tickets last year for the Boston show - which the folks luckily took back from me.  It mostly has to do wit the venue or whomever is handling the general ticket sales.  If its TIcketbastard, we are just out of luck ...

Thanks for your reply. I appreciate your insight. I see what you are saying but in the past, before pre-sale, you could go directly to Ticketmaster (or whatever) and see what you were purchasing. Do you know what I mean? A few years ago GBS was playing at Wolf Trap in Vienna, VA, I went on the site got front row tickets and life was good :). Now, with the pre-sale, I can't tell what I am getting. I guess it is hard being a hard core fan. :) Thanks..Bonnie

I agree, it would be really nice to know immediately what seats we've gotten.  I got presale tickets for D.C. last spring, and the seats were awesome, but my Wolf Trap seats for August are not as good.  Had I known earlier what seats they were, I would have tried to get better ones through Wolf Trap.  It's too late now.

My seats from last year's presale for DC were awful.  And someone in the same row got her tickets two weeks before the show.  WTF?  My tickets for the August show at Wolftrap?  Also lame.  As with gbsgirl, it is too late now.  No more pre-sales for me.  It's just not worth the aggravation when there is no idea of what kind of seats we'll end up with.

I just wanted to let all that are going to New york Time Square that all GA seating is standing only. I got the Mez. section so That I can sit; to old to stand LOL...Would like to hear from anyone that will be there. Meet so many great people from last concert. All of you Newfoundlanders are some great and friendley folks. I am staying at the Renaissance Hotel Time Square; if anyone is staying there just ask for Marcie Smiths room and give me a hollor.

MArcie, I'll be with you in the Mezzanine. Too old for all the standing also. LOL! I saw Runrig there when they cam thru. I know I won't get great photos but it will be a good show. I wonder if anyone up front would volunteer to take photos for me during some of the show.

Hi Anne,

I will be in seats 107 & 108 let me know where u r at. The boys may be performing in the center. When I talked to lady at the Nokia she said it may be that way. There is a big promanade there and she said most bands perform there when there is GA standing only. Go to Nokia .com and you can see pictures of the place. Seats up front are folding chairs when in use but not for GBS show.  Sure hope it is that way; then I will be rught up front of band.  My luck though the lady will be wrong; lol...Got to go grandson just walked in....Where are you staying at?

 I will talk to you more when the time gets closer and send you my cell number so we can meet up.
