Seems silly to buy tickets ahead of time, especially for a stadium show. Do you even know what seats you're getting ahead of time on Ticketmaster? It's ticket roulette and you usually lose. There's plenty of seats at the box office. Go a couple days before the concert and see what's left, or what's been returned due to bad credit cards. Or the group itself releasing seats. I have never failed to get a good ticket by going the night of. The box office almost always has something good left, with no Ticketmaster fees. Failing that just print out a map of the stadium and dicker with scalpers trying to unload their rapidly depreciating product.
Of course you know what seats you are buying on Ticketmaster. Why wouldn't you?
If I wanted, say, a pit ticket for face value, and I saw one on Ticketmaster, why wouldn't I buy it now?

Over the phone? They tell you which seats they are before buying them? That must be new. It used to be you were blind and just got what you got. Good for them. Sure, get a pit ticket. I've seen them close up so it wouldn't be that big a thrill. Especially $500!

Hi y‘all,
Germany calling. I just got my reservation for the Luxor in Las Vegas - now I only need a ticket to the show. It‘s not supposed to sound especially stupid, but pre-sales never worked for me when I tried. Any advice how to get a ticket that is better than „a backpack full of money at the entrance gate on show date“ would be highly appreciated!
Let’s Vegas ;-)
Cheers, Fillmore

It's got nothing to do with events being rescheduled/postponed/canceled.

Yep - but you still have to pay the (expensive) Flight and Hotel. Las Vegas 19-Oct-2016 was cancelled 24 hours before the Show. Some fans from Europe were already on the plane when they got the message about the cancellation.

Concert ticket insurance won't help with that, I'm afraid.

Again, there are inherent risks you have to take, especially if you're traveling from far abroad.

I like that too, "follow the tongues," thanks for that and directions, Hairball.
What about the Holly Crest Hotel, for LA, near LAX?

Never heard of it, but based on the location and the reviews on Tripadvisor, I would say no.
Scroll down for reviews - ---NO---
I wouldn't recommend any of the one and two star motels/hostels/dumps around the stadium - again, it's not the friendliest neighborhood.

Just a continuation of a previous post but NASHVILLE Rooms are thru the roof $$$$ and I talked to a travel agent friend who was just down their said it is insane $$ . . she even stayed outta town . . . anyway to chime in . . . you all should know you will be getting Pre Sale passwords from the Stones fan club via eamil and according to the emails come on Tuesday . . . I already have Pre Sale Passwords for Las Vegas from a sponsor and LA you can get from other sources already . . . so if you are San Diego previous ticket holder I would hope you have your Pre Sale passwords by now . . . all the best and if things work out I will be throwing a Stones pre party VIPVegas-style affair . . so stay tuned
