C'mon guys I have 300 section tickets and I've been trying to get closer ones. I didn't know about the 5:00 ticket release thing until a few minutes ago. Seeing you guys bitching about getting section 71 is really pissing me off. Sorry, but when you are there when tickets first went on sale at 10am in the morning, and you get shitty seats, or seats far back when in reality you knew you should have been front row center stage, it kinda warrants a bitchfest. not really. front row center seats are NEVER available through regular on sale. it's NYC, it's called ticket brokers, stubhub and tickemaster.com's new partner company TicketsNOW. it's a general rule, you either pay up for "premier seats" or enjoy the show like everyone else no matter where you are. MSG's an amazing venue, no matter where you are the show is amazing. it's an experience seeing a band perform and being a part of the energy & a packed arena in NYC. I've had amazing seats and some not so amazing seats at MSG, so I can def say it's a fun time. i'm not saying this because i'm a new yorker, but NYC crowds @ MSG are amazing. the energy, the crowd, the noise, the band's excitement... it will be worth it, even from the 300s. Just think about how proud King's of Leon is going to be when they see so many fans even up in the 300s cheering and singing along. The best moment will be feeling the stage & floor literally shake, (it actually happens there, it's amazing) when everyone's jumping up and down. This is going to be a totally different experience than seeing them at club shows or even festivals. So buy a ticket if you haven't already, let's pack the place & enjoy it folks.

Sorry, but when you are there when tickets first went on sale at 10am in the morning, and you get shitty seats, or seats far back when in reality you knew you should have been front row center stage, it kinda warrants a bitchfest. I think we need a reality check here. This is Madison Square Garden, not some random ballroom or club. Tickets go fast. You're not entitled to anything by being there at 10am, because thousands of others are there at 10am. Did you get them EXACTLY when they went on sale? And I mean THE SECOND. If not, I'm not surprised you didn't get front row seats, and actually I'd be surprised if you got them even if you WERE there the second they went on sale. The real reality is that when a band gets popular and plays Madison Square Garden, where shows sell out very quickly, it's gonna be a lot harder to snag good tickets. I know you're all used to being right up front, but in a place like MSG that's just not gonna always happen. Scalpers play some part in that. But a lot of the time it's because there are just a lot of people trying to get tickets at the same time. But honestly anywhere you sit in MSG is gonna be amazing. I've sat in the 400s directly behind the stage, probably the shittiest seats in the whole place, and still had a great time. Then I come on here and see people complaining about section 100 or even section 62!!! I'd love to have those tickets if you don't want them, I'm up in section 327.

Hehe, no I'm in Section 5 (bought my ticket the day they went on sale), and truth be told, this is only my third music concert ever and I have never had front row seats to anything. What we were "bitchin'" about was the system of how obtaining tickets work. At least, that's what I'm bitchin' about, and I will continue to bitch about it. Anyway, there needs to be a list of everyone who has confirmed that they are coming so we can all think of a place to meet up before and after the show, since we're all scattered all over the place.

Do you think that when this tour is over the days of seeing the kings in small venues and meeting them in over? Try not to shoot me down too aggressively, I am very sad about this possibilty

I do feel rather guilty because the reason I'm not complaining about the 300-level seats is because I have already seen the Kings front and center (or slight left for maximum Matty viewing) at many shows.
Out of the 8 times I've seen them, I've had a perfect, close view 5 out those 8 times. I would be a spoiled brat to think that I'm gonna do the same at MSG...
HOWEVER, I do feel for those who have never had a chance to experience the Kings that close and personal.
This is why I convinced Coxy to go to the Columbus show 2 days before the MSG show....she might never have the chance to see them in a small venue, you gotta take the opportunity while it's there!!!!!
Bottom line, I'm excited about MSG for many reasons, not the least of which is to meet all my lovely HA friends!!!!

I have an idea/question/suggestion:
Okay, so we all agreed to spend a day (Saturday if memory serves) hanging out or whatever, right? So, wouldn't it be kinda neat if we ate dinner that night too? Eh, it's just an idea that's been floating through my mind for a couple days now.

Food is definately a good idea. espec when it comes to the choice of restaurants in nyc. But i've been wondering about hanging out on saturday. Is everyone staying around for that long? Im there till sunday evening so it makes no diff to me, but just wanted to get an idea of who can make it that day, or whether it would be better to do it on fri?

Not 100 per cent sure about the Saturday but if Fionnula comes I can definately meet up because that means Mary won't have to come with me if she doesn't want to leaving me free for the meet up. I'm staying in Manhattan until the Monday anyway.

I'm staying till Sunday morning. We had said Saturday earlier on, but seeing as though I'll be alone, it makes me no difference what day.

Yup! That's what I thought too. So, the paps are gonna be there right? I wrote to The Today Show and Rolling Stone. Good Morning America wants a handwritten letter.
