FYI - Presale is will call ONLY. No delivery via mail or email. Also, two GA floor tickets come to $135 with all fees included. I like them, but I don't like them this much.

I got a GA floor ticket through the presale. The $50 ticket cost me $70 after all the "convenience fees" were added in. The only delivery method option for my ticket was for it to be left at Will Call and so they charged me $6 for the "convenience" of waiting in line at Will Call instead of mailing it or letting me print it at home. Love it. Oh well, hope it's a great show!

I think it was ticketmaster that charges a couple of bucks if you want to print them at home but it's free if you want them to mail you the tickets.

I bought mine and paid $5 for tickets to be mailed to my house. It is already sold out, or at least the pre-sale is.

I also had the "Will Call" only option, maybe so the good seats don't get scalped. But glad I did it I guess, all the presale tickets are gone already (except for singles). $135 total for two good lower level seats is a good deal at Sprint Center.

You might be right Steve, but my confirmation email said I could pick them up during normal Box Office business hours.

It took me a good 30 minutes to get a pair of what I consider goods reserved seats. I'm sure the pre-sale was a very small portion of the actual number of available tickets.

Does anyone think that there are still GA tickets available for the actual sale on Friday?

[Emily]

Anyone know if there is typically a long line at the Sprint Center when concerts go on sale? I work nearby and could be there when they go on sale, but I don't have the time to wait in a really long line.

[Martin]

Em, as no one is answering, maybe dont know, would you be so kind as to take a look and tell us how it goes, it you go down. Thanks

[Dave]

I am sure there will be GA tickets available for the general onsale. I think typically pre-sales are 10% of the house or less. I am not sure what the line would be at 10 am to buy them in person, but right now I have buyers remorse and wish that I had waited to buy at the box office. $20 extra on a $50 ticket is ridiculous, and I really never complain about anything. But I am regretting my purchase.

$20 fee on $50 is robbery

Emily,

The Sprint Center box office has several windows to process on sale lines. I cannot remember how many they have but, it usually goes fairly quick.

On Sept 21st(Fri), I got tickets for Trans-Siberian Orchestra and it processed quickly but, TSO tours every year so, not a huge line for it. TSO drew 13,000 for matinee show and 7,000 for evening show on a Sunday. I'm guessing that most get tickets online or, by phone these days.

Someone said that one year an on sale for TSO had so many waiting in line, that he left and got tickets online instead. He didn't say what year it was either.

I don't think there was a presale but using Springsteen's recent show as a barometer, I went down to the box office at midday during my lunch hour and there were no lines and I still scored very good tickets. Didn't get the GA floor tickets for him but they were still available at that time. I'd be shocked if this thing sells out on the first day, just go down there at your convenience.

I noticed Axis opened up selling tickets behind the "curtain" in the upper deck for this show, and as of right now have front row available.
