Awesome news!

Plans already changed, and it would set me back too much to change my return from Chicago again, but one show is better than no shows for sure. And who knows - maybe I'll be back in August.

Good to hear of some progress!

I’m in LA wishin’ I could respond to that e-mail about the Glendale show... Hahaha!

Havin’ a great time runnin’ to Vegas and back already... Good show by Yngwie last night... gonna repeat the run on Sunday before a return flight Monday.

It’ll be nice if 2 of my shows didn’t need to have plans changed... but brought all my info along to use if needed.

Hope everyone gets plans falling into place soon!

Ciao from Inglewood!

May I ask a hypothetical ticket buying question? I do not want to go on ticketmaster.

In this lieu period/ postponed time frame:

Is it actually possible to purchase tickets directly from Ticketmaster/ meaning refundable.
A few days ago I did go on Ticketmaster and found new tickets I wanted, attempted 4x coming back sorry another customer got them, 5th time option was someone else’s resale thru Ticketmaster, therefore a non refundable set, I tried that set, went thru. That’s fine, I am thrilled to have them!
But say, if I wanted to look see for other shows, is Ticketmaster themselves selling right now without confirmed dates?
Thanks.

Yes, TM is selling tickets for all shows. Not sure if you'd be able to refund, but in any case there would be a very limited window to do thst if they are to announce the new dates Tuesday.

Yes ticketmaster is currently selling tickets to all shows even though all
dates are postponed. Not sure if purchasing now is a good strategy or waiting
until after the new dates are announced is a better strategy. Presumably many
ticket holders may have personal conflicts with the new dates and would be returning there tickets for a refund. If you spot tickets in the section you would like at a fair price then I would grab them. Good luck!

Yes, and it was mentioned a few weeks back that official TM tix including Platinum, VIP's, etc. (not resale) bought before postponement AND after the postponement are refundable.


And for what it's worth, not sure it's wise to purchase resale tix ever, especially when there's standard, platinums, and VIP's still available - unless they're at or under face value and it's last minute, or they're seats that you absolutely must have for whatever reason. And not only will there be refunded tix getting thrown back in the pot, but also VIP's being converted to regular tix, etc., etc., etc.

The tour will be June 21 until the very end of Aug, so I expect the same number of days between shows, and rest days, and the same number of shows as originally planned.

I'm was fearing something like this. Therefore I gave up my LD tickets for Chicago and asked for a refund

If anyone gets section G row 1, seats 33 and 34 or section G, row 3, seats 25 and 26 with LD for one or both Chicago shows should thank me (bribes are welcomed ;-)

Southwest is the approved domestic airline of IORR's editorial management.

As long as they are grounding the 737 MAX planes I am fine...

letting these mega commpanies certify their own compliance is high on the list of monumentally stupid things

I'm so glad I cancelled my flight to Chicago because I was told that the show was postponed. Not.

Damn. I’m in Washington 19-23 June. I just know I’m going to be very tempted to make a foolhardy flying visit to Chicago for opening night of it’s confirmed. After saying I wouldn’t. I feel the excitement building. Hmmmm. Grrrr.

Anyone on here used Spirit Airlines before? They offer cheap return flights from BWI.

Fly at your own risk. Spirit is notorious for cancellations.

I’ve just seen the cancellation tales of woe. More recently they seem to have improved markedly on punctuality and cancellation. Where they score poorly is on charging extra for just about everything and a generally poor customer experience. But I’m not fussed about that. I just want to get there. The plan would be to leave all my stuff in DC and travel with a small rucksack only to Chicago for a night or 2.

Avoid Spirit. A friend booked a Spirit flight from SF or Oakland to Vegas. Took 27 hours including 14 on the tarmac over 2 stretches. Could have driven round trip.

Yikes! How recently was this?

They worked on starting with Boston and/or NJ, but it seems that Chicago will be the start of the tour now.

Well, Mick, it is ok if you manage to actually start with NJ since I haven cancelled my flight. So, go ahead!

Yes it is.

Looking forward to the new NJ shows. Hope I can make it again, from Europe.

Hope Seattle is in July.

Same here. Hoping for NJ between Aug 10 and 19 - my vacation.

Yes, please...NJ in August!

Wouldn’t it make sense to do the East coast after Burl’s Creek? The first half of July? Logistically it would make sense anyway.

I think so too. livefromuk mentioned that Philadelphia is slated for end of July (he was quite reliable with the Philly date a few months ago).

That means... I don't know what that means...

Wonder what the re-scheduling issue was for not kicking it off in NJ? Maybe just not enough time after clearances, rehearsals etc. But for some reason I'm thinking NJ may now be the tour closer in late August. Perhaps just wishful thinking on my part as after a trip out there in June, I may be able to con,.. I mean talk my wife into cutting me loose for a second east coast trip by then..

Hypothetical route

June 29th - Burl’s Creek
July 3rd - Landover
July 7th - Foxborough
July 11th - NJ 1
July 15th - NJ 2
July 19th - Philadelphia

I’m allowed to guess right? Roll on Tuesday...

Same number of shows? So that means we will get a New Oreleans Superdome show?

I'm wondering why they need to wait until Tuesday.

Clearing last details until Friday, exchanging all Contracts between RS, Insurer, Tour-Promoter & Ticket-Seller on Monday, and if it's all ok, then big announcement on Tuesday .... just a guess.
