Formerly known as the Rosemont Horizon, until everything went corporate. :roll:

I'll be at this show.

loladare · June 28, 2007, 03:00:08

Hi there- would someone be kind enough to notify me about a Pres-Sale for this show? I intend on good seats for this one- thanks so much!

lostflower4 · June 28, 2007, 03:08:58

At this point, neither www.ticketmaster.com nor www.allstatearena.com lists anything about this show...

Yet, tickets for some other shows are just about to go on sale.

Some (Montreal and Philadelphia) went on sale without notice. WTF is up with that?

thecure.com should've offered ticket sales through the site. More and more bands are doing this these days. Recently, I bought Muse tickets through the official page. Just signed up for site membership and bought my ticket the day before the TM and radio presales. Going that route (by passing Ticketbastard) saved me a few $ on surcharges.

section 4, row 7. okay seats, I guess.

lostflower4 · July 14, 2007, 20:50:04

I swear this is a scandal. I don't think sections 1-3 ever went on sale to the public.

However, I'm sure the prime seats will be turning up on eBay for severely inflated prices. :twisted:

temptation-cure · July 14, 2007, 21:03:49

I'm just curious if of all the shows that the cure will play en the states
how many recordings will be ? 2 of 10? i know that there in the states
is more difficult to record shows. altought in europe is easier no?

Try craigslist in a day or two. Scalpers will list them there, too. Just keep an eye on things as the show approaches. Prices will surely drop. Still, that's a lot of tickets and it seems no one was able to get anything close. I think the mafia is to blame

Getting the gear into the venues is the hardest part.

Videotaping is another story...

That's what I was thinking.

Seriously, can any fan confirm that they were able to get close seats to this show directly from Ticketbastard?

I saw a post on another forum (might have been the official site) that said one dude got a pair on section 3. That's the only one I've heard. And who really knows if that's true? I was thinking that they might have offered seats to season ticket holders to the various teams that call Allstate home, but that's an awful lot of seats. Something I was thinking about was maybe they're doing a half arena setup. If you pull up the seating chart for the Barenaked Ladies you'll see what I mean. TM shows the End Stage seating, but it could be wrong. Has anyone heard of any seats along the side (103, 203, 110, 210). If this was the case it would certainly help clear things up a bit. You'd think some people still would've got seats in 1-3, and in pairs!
