Venues used to reserve great seats if you bought directly from them, but I discovered the hard way about a decade ago that most venues stopped that practice, and they’re pulling from the same batch of seats at the same time as everyone else. So you might as well stay at home and wait in the virtual queue. At least you can do that in your pjs.

tg the tickets were not available through eventbrite, not ticketbastard, or it would have sold out in 2 minutes. And, who am I to complain, the last row is like the 40th row. Not all that far away from the stage. And it was the first time in my life (sheesh, at 51!) that I’ve stood in line at a ticketoffice.
@meanmistermustard – I’ll be there with my mother and uncle, so while they would certainly understand, I doubt I’ll leave them for an empty seat closer. Unfortunately, my son’s passion has moved to folk and especially banjo, which he’s learning, so we won’t have 3 generations there. He will live to regret not seeing a former Beatle someday, methinks!

Offline Ringo has announced more concerts in the Midwest and South, starting in October, according to USA Today. Also, there are announcements of a few other events:
On June 19, a collection of Starr’s self-portraits will be unveiled at a VIP reception and exhibition at the Soho Contemporary Art Gallery in New York. Starr’s art also is on display at the Hard Rock Cafe in Chicago and Ocean Gallery in Stone Harbor , N.J., as well as online at RingoStarrArt.com.ssonette.
On July 7, Starr will celebrate his 74th birthday in Los Angeles. As in past years, he encourages fans around the world to pause at noon local time to share a “peace and love” moment. He’s inviting L.A. fans to gather with him at noon PT in front of theCapitol Records building.
Ringo Starr : A Lifetime of Peace and Love, a tribute concert honoring the drummer, will premiere at 8 p.m. ET July 13 on AXS TV. The special showcases performances by Joe Walsh, Ben Harper, Ben Folds, Brendan Benson, Bettye LaVette and others, plus a band featuring Don Was, Benmont Tench, Peter Frampton, Steve Lukather and Kenny Aronoff. The concert, taped in January in Los Angeles, launched theRingo Starr Peace & Love Fund , a division of the David Lynch Foundation, which provides Transcendental Meditation instruction to tens of thousands of at-risk students in underserved schools, women who are survivors of domestic violence, and veterans with post-traumatic stress.

Offline I got tickets to see him in Chicago and I am really excited about this. To be honest, I’m way more excited about seeing him and watching him dance than I am about the music.

Offline Sad news: I can’t go see Ringo on Sunday. 
Although I don’t live near the Providence area, we assumed we’d be there for other reasons and thought that it’d be smart to get tickets there so we could go, although there was always a possibility we wouldn’t make it.
We (being my family) are trying to move to the Northeast and hoped we’d be there by now. Due to some setbacks, and the fact that it’d be stupid to spend money on tickets to fly there and back only to be moving soon, when money is obviously needed, we’re staying. I’m sending the tickets to some friends who live in MA, so at least they’ll have fun.
Who knows, maybe I can teach some guitar lessons and save enough extra money to get tickets in CA and fly there. I’m just way too optimistic though as that’s highly unlikely (are all the shows sold out yet?). All I can say is that he better be touring in 2015, because I really want to see him live.
I’ll just be looking forward to DrBeatle’s pictures and stories from everyone who’s going. Zig’ll have a story to tell us. I’m sure he loved the show!

Glad you could find worthy subjects upon which to bestow your prized tickets.
