Just checked ticket availability for this venue thru TM. Even though it says 'currently not on sale', I ignored this and was able to pull up a third row floor seat!!

I went through the same back and forth business with Ticketmaster. The last conversation with them indicated that my tickets would be will call. So now with the early entrance for members (Thank You jarkko) and I am here in Florida as I type...... I will be there with bells on early and very excited....

Hi donalagata,

Just noticed your posting and realized I meant to write to you last week...sorry. Have a wonderful, fabulous time with your sister, and of course at the concert! Looking forward to reading your review! Thankfully, all the mess with TM seems to be over.....

Take care and enjoy :D :D

Well, I can't find what I'm looking for here! SOMEONE said she lives very close to the Ft. Lauderdale venue [2 blocks or 2 miles... one or the other] and I thought that she was going to Ft. L and then to Tampa and then back home to Ft. L... I see that aspect mentioned, but nothing about the proximity to the venue in Ft. L. I've not been able to coordinate with my friend who's coming with me to Ft. L and she's the only one with the cellphone. I don't want to give anyone the number [privately] until I've gotten her permission, even though I'm sure it'll be fine. So, I'm hoping that someone can give me their cell # for Ft. Lauderdale!!! Whoever it was that said they live nearby to the venue ought to have a good idea, too, as to where we might gather, before or after the show... even though I'm not seeing any mention of that anywhere, really.

Can anyone help here? I'm going to post this in the Ft. L thread, too.

Thanks!

Hi. I wanted to let everyone know about a showing of Leonard Cohen: Live at the Isle of Wight 1970. A local independent movie theater will have a showing of the concert on Friday October 16th, at 10:15pm. The theater is called The Beach Theater here in St. Pete Beach. http://beach-theatre.com/concerts.html

I wanted to let the locals know and any of you that may be in town for the concert on Monday. I am not sure where the best place to post this info is, so if someone wants to post this thread somewhere else please do so. The showing is also a benefit for our great local radio station WMNF 88.5.

I will be there of course and maybe some of you too.

Jennifer

[did not call TM]
october 16 - no tickets yet, getting anxious, called TM. I was told event is cancelled. had to read them the sept 30 email. was told ok tickets were shipped oct 13, give it 2 more days and if you didn't get them we'll issue a lost ticket voucher.

(btw, I'm in miami florida)

Well the mail came and still no tickets. I guess that means I have to call ticketmaster AGAIN since the show is on Monday. Hopefully they are at will call. Jennifer

Called ticketmaster again. My tickets are in the mail but I do not trust it so they cancelled the tix in the mail and will have them at will-call. Hopefully this should be the end of it. My 3 yr old came down with a fever tonight and went to bed on his own at 6pm!! Hopefully he will be well enough to hang with the babysitter on Monday. A few more days.............I will actually be relieved when this is all over.

Hi everyone, thank you for the response to the ticket problem. Do not trust Ticket master. For the last 2 weeks they have been telling me that my tickets are in the mail. Don't they realize what they'r e dealing with? TBPAC have no clue. They don't even know what seat I'm sitting in. In fact they told me to expect a refund just 2 days ago!
Ive given up and I'm hoping my tickets will be at will call/
I'll be there early/ Hope everyone has awonderful time in FL. mY NERVES ARE SHATTERED......

Sorry to hear about all your problems too. I will not relax until I am in the Center with ticket in hand. I hate we all had all this drama before the concert. I really still feel ticketmaster needs to compensate us in someway. Anyways, it will all be worth it. See everyone Monday. jennifer
