2019 Summer Tour - Live and Bush Options

[brianblank]

Feel like playing both albums in full would have been mentioned in the announcement if so, would potentially sell even more tickets than just a 25th anniversary tour.

Can anybody find a ticket price range for any of the shows on the tour? I hate how Live Nation and Ticketmaster usually don't provide until the show is actually on sale anymore. Sometimes people like to make decisions ahead of time!

Agree on not playing full albums, it probably would have been mentioned, and wouldn't be very attractive to casual fans.

I just saw that the Pittsburgh tickets are $55 for GA , $99 for "premium seating" - not sure what that means.

Live is the number 1 trending band on Pollstar. Great line-up and a lot of excitement for this tour!

Thanks... I've never paid for premium seating but have looked into it before - perks vary by venue. I've never been to Stage AE so I'm just spitballing but from a quick search, the venue appears to have an indoor stage and an outdoor stage - I'd assume it would be an outdoor show. Premium seating means you get a special viewing location not accessible to the poor GA folk. Additional perks I've seen include include exclusive bar, bathrooms and/or venue entrance. Using this pic as an example (http://midnightcorey.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/MegadethRobZombie02.jpg), possible that the premium seating might be a platform behind the soundboard so you're not jostling around in a larger crowd, but I've also seen it off to the side elsewhere. Should be more clearly spelled out when tickets actually go on sale but a little bit of research might tell you sooner.

Songkick now has a $59 price listed for Atlantic City (the closest show to me), although in theory there should be a range since there is a GA floor but also seating.

Holmdel (2nd closest) now has a $25-$99 range listed so it's probably a decent comp for other amphitheater shows on the tour - $25 for lawn and $99 for 100 level seating close to stage. Holmdel does include parking fee in the ticket cost though so possible other sheds might be a little cheaper.

That is pretty damn affordable at Holmdel!

Ticketmaster mentions an “Artist Pre-Sale” and a VIP Package Pre-sale. Does anyone know how those will become available?

I'm wondering the same thing, I want AC tickets and Holmdel.

I saw somewhere (maybe the FB group?) that the artist presale will be on Monday, 3/11, at 10am local time, code "ALTIMATE" without the quote marks.

I know I’m reaching here, but how many of you think they will add dates? Or better yet, tour by themselves in smaller venues after this stint with Bush? Still wrangling with my decision to buy tickets to a show 8 hours from me on the Monday presale... or not. Someone either talk me into it, or out of it, please.

A solo tour with smaller venues, you're funny

Hey, I said I was reaching.

Hey, I said I was reaching.

Go see them and catch the tc b sides. If they come closer to you then see them again. If you get tired of driving just blame Bremang

After what we just saw from the tour they just played, I wouldn't drive 8 hours for that. I don't think Live could do anything anymore that would make me drive 8 hours to see them tbh.

As someone else posted, they're not playing anywhere near Seattle, or the NW in general, so I'll have to sit this tour out. I'm not a huge fan of Bush or OLP anyway, so it would be just for Live.

Maybe next year.

I wouldn’t drive 8 minutes to see them.

Tickets won't sell out most likely. My guess is tickets will be under face value on Stubhub come day of the show. Hold off and decide then.

I am definitely going to short this tour!
