Got this email today from Ticketmaster, looks like no presale for fans, and it's General Admission on the floor.

Thanks for the heads up. I didn't get an e-mail from ticketmaster. It's stupid how they work.

i've seen the PSB's everytime they've come to Los Angeles, so i'll go... maybe. i just did'nt have a good time at the Release show. i was in the pit area and it was just too rowdy. i'd expect that if it was a NIN show or something. i got elbowed in the back very hard and there was a fight as well. i'll stay out of the pit area this time around. last time i was at the Wiltern was for Soft Cell btw.

The pit does get roudy, the best pit area for me is Irvine Meadows they played there for nightlife, you can only get in this area if you have a ticket and it's assigned seating (about 200-300 seats) and you can freely walk around, was able to catch the guitar pick neil tossed into the crowd after Drunk.

The Joint at the Hard Rock in Vegas was really bad, besides all of the pushing and shoving the smoking was extremely bad, luckily California bans smoking.

Anyway got two tickets for each show on the floor general admission, has'nt sold out yet, just a couple of fans buying tickets at the location I went to, was hoping if they sell out they may add a 3rd night friday night?

This had better be one hell of a show for those ticket prices at a place like the Wiltern!!!

almost $200.00 for two tickets!

I thought it was pretty pricey as well.

More than three times as much as the average show there!

I got my ticket for Thurs night. I opted for the Loge so I could sit down. Thanks to Ticketmaster's gouging I was relieved of $103. But, I always expect any PSB tour to be the last, so I don't actually mind that much.

I got tickets for Wed on the floor. Not sure if I'm gonna go Thurs night also. If I do it will be for $65 in the Mezzanine

Either way, I will see you guys there. Looking forward to meeting some of you this time.

I'm going both nights and opted for the floor for both.

We should plan a meeting beforehand since us L.A. psb fans are in the minority here on this forum, as we get closer lets plan it.

There used to be a great Restaurant and Bar at the Wiltern Complex don't know if it is still there it is called "Atlas" , Neil & Chris were eating dinner in san diego at a restaurant after the sound check in san diego for the nightlife tour, so you never know?

I think that would be a great idea. We can plan something as we get closer to Nov.

We missed meeting at the Release tour at Univ. Ampitheater.

As Groucho said to Margaret Dumont in The Cocoanuts:

" I'll meet you tonight under the moon. Oh, I can see you now - you and the moon. You wear a necktie so I'll know you. "

I WON'T wear a necktie but I'd be glad to meet up, too.

Got floor tickets for the Wednesday - would love to go both nights, but the price is extortionate - especially when you figure in the other fees (for what ? - sending me a f*****g electronic ticket !!!!)...ah well - let me know where you might meet up....and what colour carnation to wear in my lapel...

i got my ticket. hopefully it will be a better experience than the Release tour for me. $103 for a concert ticket?! PSB's must be hanging out with Sting cause he's expensive too. for that price, PSB's should do a meet & greet... or at least wash my car.

Since the theater does not hold more than a few thousand, I think they (the promoter) had to charge more per ticket to cover the psb's fee and all of the other expenses.
