10/18/11 Albany, NY Palace Theatre

[Alinite27]

Probably not going to this one. Although, it is Mom's birthday and it would be cool for her, if she could have a birthday show.

I think I do remember someone on here wanting an Albany show, though. It is interesting since that Allentown Symphony show was listed as Albany originally. I guess they just really, really wanted to hit Albany, and since they couldn't come up with a symphony hall, they tried a Palace Theatre.

Anyway, here's the topic.

That was me who was hoping for an Albany show. Thanks for posting about it. It's about an hour away from me so I'll definitely be going. I was hoping he'd make a stop here since there was a three-day break between NH and D.C. But I wasn't expecting it at this point since it was getting kind of late to announce shows for then. This will be a nice "pregame" for the Beacon on the 23rd.

In case others are interested, according to the Palace's site, it's a 7pm show and tickets range from $24.50-39.50. Tickets go on sale to members 8/24 and general on-sale is 8/26. PAID pre-sale starts tomorrow.

6 hours from me. Bit too far, and by then I can watch the set from home.

It doesn't look like anyone else here is going but just in case, the presale password is EATIT. Presale is going on now until 10pm (I think) tomorrow night.

Picked up a couple seats on the aisle in row CC (5th row) in Orchestra RC.

Im going to this one but i decided to go through paid inc as they had the 1st 2 rows and of course at a marked up price of 131.00 after fees. Hey I never would have thought that weird al would sell out and hire a company that basically scalps his better tickets for much more than face. I know you get an autograph and other stuff but how much of this crap do i need LOL?

Im now going to the show 6 times with albany added to my itinerary.

anyway thanks for posting the presale password yesterday but i decided to go the expensive way once again to guarantee im in the 1st or 2nd row.


hope to meet up with some of you at the shows.

=================================================

10/11 Red Bank NJ (1st row center)

I'm going. Sprung for the VIP tickets. Just waiting to get them...

[Scott]

FYI for Bob, Lauren (and if anyone else is going), the show's been pushed back from 7 to 8 tomorrow night. I got an email from Ticketmaster. Since you two went through PAID, I'm not sure if they alerted you or not.

Looking forward to it. First of two concerts for me this week. I know that's nothing for some of you, but it's a lot for me.

Scott, or anyone else who made it to this show, care to fill in the details?

Franks/You Make Me? If you can remember, coffee shop from Craigslist?

unfortunately i wasnt logged onto this site all the tour as i was super busy and i didnt know til i got to the theatre. PAID INC SUCKS HOW THEY DISTRIBUTE TICKETS AND THEIR LACK OF COMMUNICATION SUCKS AS WELL. i called to complain and not a single call back. they are not a trustworthy organization to deal with. problem is now they get the 1st 5 rows for just about every show u r forced to use them if u want to try and sit 1st row. i sat 1st row 5 times out of 6 shows and the 6th was 4th row thru paid inc. it is what it is but let the buyer beware when using paid inc!!!!!!

ps 3 of those 1st row seats i got on my own without paid inc and the other 2 times they did in fact send me 1st row but their customer service dept. is lacking as they dont even have a call back phone # the day of the show if u didnt get your tickets. they are utterly useless if u ask me!!!
