The one thing to remember about Ticketmaster is if you're buying your tickets on line, you don't have to take the first seats that come up if you don't like the location. ALWAYS decline them if you're not happy with them. Better seats will ALWAYS come up unless it's a Stones concert or a Springsteen show that'll sell out in a matter of minutes. ABB shows generally don't. Sometimes you may have to wait a few weeks, but better seats are ALWAYS released the closer you get to the date of the show. People's credit cards get declined, the promoter makes more seats available, etc. etc. The biggest mistake people make is thinking, "If I don't take these, I won't get tickets." Not true. Unless the show sells out, there will always be more seats released, and they generally are among the best seats in the venue. Since the ABB rarely sells out, this is a good rule of thumb. You gotta have nerves of steel (since it's Elvis week, Viva Las Vegas!) but it's better than getting stuck with, or settling for tickets that you're not happy with. We work too hard for our cash to not get what we want. I scored front row center seats for the 3-15 Beacon show this year more 30 minutes after they went on pre-sale. I had a lot of worse seats come up before I bought those-matter of fact, I bought 2 in row R before I bought the AAAs. It 's all done at random. It also helps having worked part-time at a Ticketmaster outlet so I know how the system operates. Try it-it works. I guarantee it.
