Strider Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Hey everyone...after months of waiting the long days of anticipation are finally over...as the Robert Plant & Alison Krauss caravan rolls into town for two nights at the Greek Theatre amidst the trees and hills of Griffith Park, Los Angeles. However, having read so many of everyone's horror stories about buying tickets through ticketmaster and presales over the years here, I think the following is likely to instill some anger. As I long ago swore off buying tickets thru internet presale or on-sale dates, today I did my usual for any concert I want to see; in this case tonight and tomorrow night's Robert Plant & Alison Krauss concerts: I rolled out of bed around 8am and headed to the Greek Theatre box office, arriving around 9am...I was surprised I was the first one there. After waiting for an hour or so, the box office opened, and I asked for 2 tickets for tonight's show and one for tomorrow...BINGO! I got PIT tickets for both nights, and for tonight they are in the FIRST ROW!!! And that is face value...no bullshit extra ticket fees added. I am so STOKED! It was already gonna be a great show, but with front row seats, it just got even better! So any fellow Led Zeppelin board members that want to say hi and reminisce over old Zeppelin shows...or if you hate my posts and want to throw beer on me...my seats are in the PIT, Row AA, seat #9.

ro_a Posted June 24, 2008 Share Posted June 24, 2008 Thats freaking awesome. good for you. Looks like I miss the Greek experience this time, but Stevie Wonder just announced he is going to tour all summer. That might be when I go Greek. I tried my luck buying P/P tix last minute at venue 10 years ago. result? Best of the 6 show I saw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy it while it last because next year you will show up one hour before the box office opens and all 7000 plus fans from this site will already be in line in front of You.

Strider Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 Awwww. it would have been cool to see you guys, katy and allison...but yeah, maybe next tour. and alwizard, even if there are 7000 members on this board, they don't ALL live in los angeles...and even if they did, i bet you most will have forgotten about my post by the time of the next tour. you see, i posted about the same experience i had a couple of years ago on the mighty rearranger tour...showed up at the greek, and got great seats between steve jones and mick fleetwood...and did that cause tons of people to do the same for this raising sand show? obviously not. fyi. my routine yesterday netted me front row seats in the pool circle for the tom petty show at the hollywood bowl...cost? $95...which is even less than the $150 they were charging for the box seats behind us. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! SCREW YOU TICKETBASTARD! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
katydidgood Posted June 27, 2008 Share Posted June 27, 2008 well I will definately remember, already told the ol man about your tix routine. We wanna see Dolly at the Greek in Aug and the Journey/heart/cheap trick show in sept I think. My only dilemma is we live outside mojave. 3 hour drive to the Greek. But we just fell in love with that place. take care and thanks for the tip on tix. katy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
