Pick your show at the top of this thread, and note the pre-sale time, that is the earliest time you can buy a ticket. When the time comes, come back to this thread for the password and click on the link to get your tickets, that's all there is to it :D

Don't forget to check the forum before and after you show for meetup information and concert reports. Remember, your friends and family might not relate to your fascination but here, we do :razz:

One other hint that may help on presale day. Since most concerts are handled by Ticketmaster, make sure you have a user name and password for Ticketmaster (you can do this ahead of time) and sign in to Ticketmaster a few minutes before the presale starts. That way, as soon as you get the Forum presale password supplied by Jarkko, you are already right in Ticketmaster. It saves a few minutes which could mean quite a difference in available seats!

Most tickets will be sold by http://www.ticketmaster.com, so it's best to register/open an account there!

I see that you can buy up to 8 tickets on presale or am I wrong...last time I thought it was only 2..
I am concerned that scalpers will sign on to the forum and buy 8 at a time
and all the front seats will be gone...am I being overly worried?
thanks Jarkko...

The Will Call system makes it pretty difficult - the buyer has to pick up the tickets at the venue two hours before the concert and show his ID!! Very few scalpers will be able/willing to do that. And we have more tickets at our pre-sale than ever.

Dear Jarkko...AEG...Mr. Kory...Leonard...Marie....etc etc etc..

You have a VERY happy woman here. I just noticed on the Summer Tour in Europe thread that unfortunately there won't be time for meetups with the band and singers this summer, but because of the will-call situation in the US, we can hopefully anticipate this possibility! :D :D :D :D :D

Thank you all,
Diana

ps...I'm not particular about my seating...it just HAS to be either front row center or slightly to the right ;-)

I also thank you Jarkko and everyone else!
I am happy to hear there will be more tickets and
of course I forgot just because you order 8 does not mean they can be scalped so most scalpers won't do it...as the will call will deter them...that is Great!
Also re meet-ups...I have never done that or gone in early...
hoping to get seats for Las Vegas and San Jose..
and of course saving up so I can get really good seats this time..
very excited and happy...
THANK YOU AGAIN EVERYONE INVOLVED in making this happen and to you again Jarkko!
Hope to meet you one day. WIll you be coming to San Jose? It will be spectacular...

I have not yet updated my signature, but would love to replace those three dots with LV and SJ. It remains to be seen.

Yea Jarkko! Hope to see you there! A pattern seems to be forming that many people are doing both shows. The concerts will be moments to remember forever! Of course, as are all Leonard's concerts.....

All the best,
Diana

Hi Jarkko,

I truly truly hate to bug you with this, as I know you said that tickets would be available in all price ranges BUT, do you know if that also means Rows one and two? Sometimes with presales Ticketmaster doesn't release anything closer than Row 4 as they hold them for other presales and the public sale. You may not even know the answer to the question, and once again, sorry for asking the question when I should be practicing patience... ;-)

All the best,
Diana

AEG confirms that we will have a BIG allocation of tickets at all price levels from the first row to the back.

Thanks SO much Jarkko! Guess it's just the 3-day-away-presale jitters! The allottment sounds quite generous.

No more questions..thank you!

Should I be getting nervous that Ticketmaster doesn't show the additional shows yet? Don't they usually have them posted early with presale date/time info?

I'm thrilled beyond belief that the Fox Atlanta has been added to this last leg!!!
