Will buyers outside the USA be able to purchase pre-sale tickets? There was a difficulty last time. Let's hope not this time.

I have emailed the sellers about this to make sure that credit cards from any country can be used. Will let you know.

I wonder if after the presale if we should create a "meeup" or "city" thread for each show? I remember with Detroit last time we had 3 or 4 different threads (I take credit for accidently creating one without knowing there was one already started :roll:

***Good point. we will do that (now we have something like that for Europe, and we have merged any new threads to the existing ones to keep the information together! / Jarkko***

Thank you, Jarkko. This is perfect for handling several cities in different time zones.

I am so excited for the Return to US fall tour. Fearful that I missed my chance because apparently I was living under a rock, I was moments away from booking a Prague ticket. How does one find out about the NY and FL pre-sale? :D

curlyjazz, Jarkko will most likely post the information up on this thread before the pre-sale. Just keep checking in: the link and the password will be there. Jarkko has been meticulous in the past about doing this, so rest assured it will work fine.

Oops! Sorry, you can disregard most of what I asked here. I should have checked the other threads before I posted then :oops: Found the ticket prices.
Thanks for your patience with people like me.

Ok, I'm relatively new to this forum and haven't been to a concert in ages. I have so many questions, I'm not real sure where to start but here goes.

When you say "all prices will be available" please define what is included in "all prices" Are we talking 2 figures, 3 figures, more? I'm living on SS disability so my funds are limited. I WILL beg, borrow, or steal to get tickets for the St.Louis show, I'd just like to know if I need to skip one bill for a month? (Like $50 or so?) Or will my entire monthly check go for one ticket? Do I need to tell all my relatives to send me $$$ for my birthday in hopes of getting enough for a ticket? Do I rob a bank? I just need to know HOW MUCH!

I assume the venue will be handicap accessable, right? I don't do steps and I'll be using a walker or possibly a scooter or powerchair of some sort. Is that a problem? Will it require me to purchase a more expensive ticket to get a place to accommodate an assistance device? I haven't been to the Fox (St.Louis we're talking about) in literally decades and I'm sure they have made many updates to allow for access.

How far ahead of showtime do tickets need to be claimed? Same day, earlier? I no longer live in St.Louis but will be staying with relatives and need to know when to get there.

Oh, yeah, what is the advantage of getting Pre-sale tickets other than being assured of actually getting a ticket before they are sold out?

Thanks,
Lili

Welcome Lili.
I assume the venue will be handicap accessable, right? I don't do steps and I'll be using a walker or possibly a scooter or powerchair of some sort. Is that a problem?

You should call The Fox directly and ask them these questions before the pre-sale day. Sometimes venues withhold some of these tickets and you can do better buying tickets through the venue.
How far ahead of showtime do tickets need to be claimed?
In the past, you've only been able to pick up your tickets a couple of hours before the show.
Oh, yeah, what is the advantage of getting Pre-sale tickets other than being assured of actually getting a ticket before they are sold out?
That's pretty much the only advantage. Some shows have sold out quickly. Sometimes the pre-sale sells out quickly. So, you try again when the public sale begins.

Thanks for the quick reply. I'll give the Fox a call and check on the handicap accessability thing. One way or another, I've just GOT to get to this show.

Does anyone know if you can buy tickets for a different person in pre-sale or do they have to be in your own name? My son's birthday is on the day of the New York show and I can't think of a better present!

AEG has confirmed that members from anywhere in the world can buy tickets (now we hope that Ticketsmaster will make the arrangements accordingly!)
You can use any name to order the tickets, but the person whose name is given will have to pick up them personally on the day of the concert and show his/her ID (=WILL CALL tickets!). The card information can be somebody else's. Note that after the reservation the tickets CANNOT be transferred to anybody else!
