Tickets Trippin' in Tennessee

You asked about ticket stories, here's the scoop for the Nashville, TN show on Aug. 14: Venue: Amsouth ampitheatre Venue Description: Typical ampitheatre, a couple thousand reserved seats under a V shaped cover, with a grass covered hill of general admission seats behind it.

Ticket availability: As of 8/13/02, there are still reserved seats available - perhaps the price (about $57.50 with all online ticket charges, including the $7.00 'convenience charge') is the reason these tickets are still there. I ordered tickets last Saturday (8/10), and got seats that are about 25 rows back, center stage.

On a positive note, with the availability of these tickets it appears that the folks at showtimetickets.com are going to eat a bunch of tickets that they are trying to sell for $85 and up. Tough luck, boys, guess that's the price you pay for attempted extortion.

It's too bad Garth Brooks didn't have more luck a couple years ago when he attempted to use his position in the music industry to strong-arm the TN state legislature into illegalizing ticket scalping.

Good luck in your attempts to land good seats for other venues.
