@ Presale was a nightmare but something happened to me that had never happened before when buying tickets. I tried presale and nothing. The system crashed and when I tried again, nothing. I gave up on presale and told myself I was gonna focus on regular sale. I read a comment on someone's IG that someone had tried the night of presale and got VIP. I didn't believe it but I tried at 9:30 on the last day of presale and I got Silver VIP. Exactly what I wanted. [Presale ended at 10pm]. I was shocked. I had no clue they released more tickets during presale. I knew they did it during regular sale. I have seen her three times and met her twice. I am hoping for a good spot in the front to meet her again. Would love to get my box set UV signed. I saw her in Dallas and New Orleans and she wasn't meeting fans after the show. Only during. I know she did do it in some other places. Who knows if she will even come down to the front row again like she did on the last tour. We can only hope.

I actually think the opposite. I think there were will be more crowd control because the pit is a small area. It is easier to manager and watch closely. The security at The Woodlands venue for the Houston show will get you out of the pit so fast if you are pushing. I saw No Doubt and NIN there and trust me - smaller GA areas in larger venues will have more crowd control. The places she was playing before were smaller. But the bottomline is every place is different.

@ GA. I fought took and nail for it. Presale didn't work for me when they went on sale. I was pretty pissed because the site kept crashing on me. Finally got the tickets the night before regular sale just as presale was ending. So freaking excited!

@ The hate for Lorde by Lana fans is common. It's silly to me - I wish people could love the artists they love and leave the rest alone. I have never understood the need to verbally kick the shit out of an artist I wasn't a fan of. It happens in all genres - Madonna vs. Lady Gaga, Azealia Banks vs. Iggy Azalea, Whitney vs. Mariah - putting women up against each other is such a sexist thing. I don't get it so I don't subscribe to it. Heard Video Games in 2011 and I thought it was good but I didn't take to her right away. I saw Lana on SNL in January of 2012 and fell in love. Far from a perfect vocal performance, I felt the underdog in her. Been a fan ever since.

@ @@SouthInGuy I will be 43 in April. Ha ha! You know, when she first came out and I went to my first show, I understood her demographic. I can't explain her appeal. I mean, her demographic appears to be 14 to 17 year old girls. I know that is a generalization but that seems to be the larger part of her demographic. I questioned what I felt in her music that young teenagers felt. For me, she is an old soul. Also, her work gets me in a retrospective area. I stopped questioning it because my admiration for her work is deep and real. Three concerts later, I am ready to see her again. Nice to see other guys my age. @@kik Not a pissing contest - just a comment on the reality that we are few and far between in Lana's world.

@ Off topic but your member title is funny. "Oldest LDR fan on LB" I have you beat by four months! HA HA! I have seen Lana three times in concert and each time, of course, I was the oldest person at the front of the line. I was probably older than some of the parents dropping off their kids at the show. It was an eye opener for me.

Sorry about the image being so small. All the other files were too big to upload. Go to Live Nation and pretend you are going to buy a ticket. The "Buy On Map" option is available which means you can see which seats are still unsold. Anyway, there are lots of resale tickets available but very few venue tickets which is great. I am happy for Lana's success.

By the way, very few tickets left for the Dallas show which is good. I wanted it to be a success with regards to ticket sales. I didn't know how it was gonna go over with her playing bigger venues.

I feel you! Claustrophobia is something I have tried to manage and keep at bay. I hate being shoulder to shoulder but I did it twice for Lana already... I will do it again and again for her. HA!

@WestCoastLanatic I am absolutely not shading you. Sorry if it came across that way. I did say it was presumptuous and sad that any one of us label fans one way or another so I was including myself. It is a general statement about anyone and about any fan of any artist. Anytime we think we are superior to other fans because they started to like Lana after she got popular or only know her singles or still dress in flower crowns like she used to - anytime we do this, we disconnect from the real purpose of being a fan - THE MUSIC. For me, I tell myself "Who cares that they started liking Lana when she got popular - at least her fan base is growing. Who cares girls still wear flower crowns or only know her singles? At least they are honoring her in their way. I try to care less about other people and their relationship to Lana and try to focus on why I love her so much. I feel your pain. I know what it is like to miss out on the tickets I really wanted for a show. I have been there too many times and it sucks!!! I feel you. The good news is that you are going to see LANA! The other good news is that you have a dad who will take you to show and help save money for it. That is one cool dad!!!

Is StubHub serious? $11,600 for ONE ticket in Section 103?

Are you talking about her show at Verizon in Grand Prairie earlier this year? I was there! It was insane! Same here. It really was crazy!

Roll call - who is going to this show and what tickets did you get?

It's a lot of money for many people so you have to REALLY want to be there to drop it.

J.auston, I got the Silver package at $250 and I was on,y charged an ordering processing fee of $6.55 and that was it. I was surprised because they usually add all these crazy fees. But since the packages are so expnsive, maybe they scaled it back. I know this isnt about the Gold package but I hope this helps a little.

Are they selling tickets? Yes. Do they have the ickets? No. They do this for every show for every artist. Hey anticipate the tickets they will receive and start "selling" tickets early to confuse people. Notice that you will not see row or seat numbers for any of them. Only sections. When they get the real tickets, the information changes with that info. Stubhub should always be our last resort.

Actually, Gold gets you first 12 rows behind the GA pit. Silver is GA IN FRONT of the rows. Bronze is rows 13-20 rows.

She was probably a bitch to you because hundreds of well known celebrities are buried there. Altbough its possible you could have a relative there, the employed bitch probably assumed you were joking or just tying to get in early prior to the show. Its not a good reason to be rude but she probably had you pegged.

It's only one ticket and it is $65 which is face value without the fees.

My friend has an extra ticket for today's show. If anyone is interested and is already in the area, I can give you his cell number. Serious inquiries only guys.

Bnewall1 - love your passion for Lana but saving a spot in line is not great concert etiquette. Depending on whether or not they let people in earlier, some people will have been there since the night before or early morning. Its not fair to make room for someone in front of the line for someone who is not "on-board." I have seen Lana 5 times and was front row for each one. That took travel time, packing nourishment, and above all else, getting there at 7am to secure my spot. There is a level of dedication that goes into securing that spot and if I am in that line, you can bet I will not allow making room for someone who is not "on-board."I've addressed it before and it was handled. Not trying to be a jerk - just want to be fair.

I only needed to provide my ID for both shows I attended. Don't tink you will need the card but take it just case. The will call window is managed by the venue, not AIW - each venue may have different rules. Not sure about the different name on the card though.
