[cobalt]

According to the Atlanta paper, July 23 at Philips Arena goes on sale this Saturday, at 10 am, I think.

more tickets for the rest of us :devil:

[cobalt]

Just one more, Andrew...Mrs. Cobalt will be in town, and in attendance!!



Send me some of that good corn when it's ready, by the way...

[AMIW]

well as long as the hot chicks will be at the pre-show we'll somehow cope without you! :cry:

will sandy and ronnie be there too?

[cobalt]

Just try to stop them! Yes, I believe all members of the Southern Chapter will be there that evening.

[RedHeadedWoman]

....so, since you'll be out of town, that means that the party Saturday afternoon will be at the Compound around your pool, right? I wonder where the FBI are these days? Ah memories - - that's the first day I met the Good Doctor. Awwwww, I'm getting all misty-eyed here.

I smell a huge party in the making. Tell Pam I'll call her!

[AMIW]

when is the circusmaster leavin town? the party can start Friday night

:roll:

[RedHeadedWoman]

.....why make Pam clean the house? The Omni has a pool.....
I will be busy pimping myself out as a taxi, shuttling people from the airport to downtown on Friday night, but I see no reason why we can't just transfer the party from Jocks N Jills on Friday evening to someone's room at the Omni for the rest of the night, then down to the lobby in our jammies for breakfast and out to the pool for the remainder of the day. Sounds like a plan to me....

[PattiM]

Hey Annie and Toots......this puts a new twist to our weekend plans... ;) ........we may have to stop by my office for a super speedy connection..........ok...who wants to man the phones?

[robinia]

Cobalt,

You must cancel those plans immediately! All the Southern WWA will be there! I'm coming, and I'm working on the President! How can you possibly miss all that fun?!

Julie, we may stay at Embassy Suites instead, slightly less $'s and free breakfast. Would that be ok? I think we may even get a couple of free drinks there, have to check on that!

Booked our flights today, now all we need is tickets to the show!

WOOHOO!

the vp

[AMIW]

Hey Annie and Toots......this puts a new twist to our weekend plans... ;) ........we may have to stop by my office for a super speedy connection..........ok...who wants to man the phones?

OK this reply has me totally confused what is PattiM replying to?

[robinia]

Will we be able to try any TM phone # or does it have to be one for the Atlanta area? Can you buy these tickets at an outlet? I can't remember!

[bsdegrees]

Robinia,
Only phone and internet sales and you may use any TM phone number you wish to.
I have a separate thread now that has ticket sales/times/seat charts etc.
Take care.
Kathleen

[doctort]

OK this reply has me totally confused what is PattiM replying to?

Andrew - Toots is in Atlanta this weekend as Evan is playing in some baseball tournament, Patti M of course lives in Atlanta and Annie is obviously joining them because .......

[Dirty Annie]

We are scouting safehavens for Bruce fans. Call it an advance team doin sweeps. Cornbread is in the oven for East meets West party.

[Toots]

I can do cornbread, but there's no way I'm eating grits and hush puppies.....

[dhenise]

I can do cornbread, but there's no way I'm eating grits and hush puppies.....

Wise choice ........... grits are friggin' NASTY.

[Toots]

I hear the fried chicken is pretty good.....

Shall I pack my TM phone numbers just in case?

[dhenise]

I don't know about anyone else, but Mr. Springsteen's sale dates screwed me again. I'll be on a plane when Ohio goes on sale. :cry:

[Toots]

Well...I'm not buying any tickets for myself this go around...

Ya wanna join us in Atlanta for some baseball Dave?

[Dirty Annie]

Nah...Toots ...not like we are rookies to this. You can look out the office and see the venue for good luck.

[dhenise]

Well...I'm not buying any tickets for myself this go around...

Andrew didn't invite me :cry: Actually I'm in Vegas next week ......... can't wait!!

[Toots]

We don't need Andrew for a stinkin invitatation....I meant this weekend.....

Have fun in Vegas....I'm off next week if you want to send me a ticket to Vegas....I'll take your wifey to the M&M place....

[dhenise]

Vegas is on the way home isn't it?

M&M place? What is that? Only asking because maybe I'd want to go instead.

[Toots]

They have a tour to show you how m&m's are made...then they sell them in every color imaginable.

The plane doesn't stop in Vegas...besides we have more baseball in LA when we get back.

[dhenise]

Take her .......... I was hoping it was something to do with the darker side of Vegas :redcool:

Hey ........ you're supposed to be packing. Get back to work. :p

[Toots]

I'm packed.....just waiting for the kid to get home....If you want a tour of the dark side of Vegas I'll bring Flap and Douger along.

[BruceNut]

thats S+M David...............not M+M :roll:

[On Highway 29]

grits are friggin' NASTY.

No way. Grits are great! Cheese grits are fantastic!

[AMIW]

I knew Toots was in Atlanta this weekend as I had been advising her on places to take Evan when he is not playing baseball and all that stuff
but I did not know PattiM lived in Atlanta hence my confusion.! :scratch:

[cobalt]

Oops...Mrs. Cobalt won't be going either! One of her best friends had the nerve to pick that day to get married!


It's a sad day at the Compound...Bruce in town, and we can't go...bummer!

[All Heaven Will Allow]

Rob,

What a bummer. It won't be the same without you and Pam!!!

and you call yourself "Real" fans


:hah: :hah: :hah: :hah: :hah: :hah:

[robinia]

But there's always Friday night isn't there Cobalt?! What excuse are you going to use for that night?!

[AMIW]

But Sandy and Ronnie will be still be there right???

[cobalt]

To the best of my knowledge, Sandy and Ronnie will still be going, and Mrs. Cobalt might be available Friday night, but I actually leave on Friday night, rolling north to Doctor T-town, with a bunch of youngsters!

What am I, crazy or something??! Jeez...

[AMIW]

a REAL fan would make up for missing this show by going to (just for example) St Louis..... :cry:

[AMIW]

Bruce comes home to the city where he has recorded the last two albums....

[johnstownflood]

Interestingly, the ad in Creative Loafing, the alt weekly here, says ticket are also available at Tmaster outlets, while the Philips ad says it's only online or charge by phone.

Great planning!

[AMIW]

steve - it's definitely not outlets can you imagine the lines at Publix tomorrow??

there'll be the parents buying veggietales tickets
the parents of teenage girls buying BSB tickets
goths buying rob zombie tickets
and then the confused Bruce fans!
etc....

Hope CL send a photographer to cover the diverse groups lined up along aisle 7 at Publix

Regards

Andrew.D.Wicks

[brucegroupie]

good luck to all of you!!! may all y'all get the tickets that you want. :) Maybe try the Lansing, MI or Battle Creek, MI or Danville, IL numbers....I've been lucky with those in the past. And, if you don't get the floor seats or whatever seats you want tomorrow, stay tuned for the online drops. :) Good Luck!!!

[AMIW]

about 15 minutes until battle commences - no network outages (yet) noone else in the office (good) multiple PCs on, multiple browsers (on different T1 lines) active

been to the bathroom (a couple of times!!!!), water on hand to relieve stress when the "your wait time is x minutes" messages appear

still no accurate seating chart though....sigh

ladies gentlemen start your browsers....

[wzeis]

Premium Sec 2, Row B bought with no ticket chart.

Where am I, besdides in the building?

[BigChill]

Section 2 row C....wherever that is for Atlanta

RHT row J for Charlotte

Be seeing you all deep in the south soon. Back to bed now

[AMIW]

wzeis you are right in front of the stage (only one person between you and bruce) randy will be right behind you

I'm way back in row H!!!!

[eagle8487]

Well, I'm in the premium seats, but section 7.... Oh well, I'm in and there's those parties, right? ;)

[radiogirl70]

Whew. Sec 3, Row D -- not sure where that is, but it sounds good to us.

Now, I can either try for a Charlotte show we have NO business attending, or go back to bed... :zzz:

[radiogirl70]

FYI: Ticketmaster now has a seating chart up for Atlanta.

Never seen anything quite like it!

bizzare to say the least although sec 3 row d is lokking pretty good for you Laurie..........................

:cool: :cool: :cool: :cool:

[ForYou]

I got Sec. 4 Row C for Atlanta on the wierd floor chart and Rgt. Row F for Charlotte.

Leslie...did you get Atlanta?

[Mo Riley]

Can't believe I threw back Sec 4! TM strikes again.

[ForYou]

[PattiM]

we got section 115

[HeldUp]

http://pic4.picturetrail.com/VOL716/2813595/6259898/101098229.jpg
Ahh, yes. Quite the intimate arena setting... :scratch:

[bsdegrees]

Sandy...1B for me!
See yous there!
Very few 4's showed up so congrats!
I'm happy...2nd row no matter what the section.
Cool f'in beans.

Very weird set up. And it looks like more than half-house.

Based on the generic half-house set up, I expected the stage face Secs. 109, 110, 111.

Sure hope no one bought 400s.

Chris

[On Highway 29]

Well, I'm in the premium seats, but section 7.... Oh well, I'm in and there's those parties, right? ;)

Section 7 may be a bit better than you think because it looks like Sec. 120 is as far as they sold on that side. Section 7 can't go past Sec. 120. Section 7 may be closer to the front on the end of the stage.

Useless information...George in Seinfeld wanted to name his first child "Seven" after M. Mantle's #.

[brucegroupie]

I was still pulling up singles in Sec 7 at 12:30 p.m. today....couldn't get anything to come up if I tried for 2.

[AMIW]

posting a seating chart an hour after ticket sales went on sale - whew wonder what excuse TM can come up with for that

looks like RG and FY came out well on the switch out of all of us

PattiM no way can you sit wayback in 115 - talk to the Doctort ticket agency and see if you can trade up :cry:

Regards

Andrew.D.Wicks

[PattiM]

It's all good Andrew.........we aren't picky........Phillips Arena is pretty compact.....been there for alot of basketball games and there really isn't a bad seat in the place

Can't wait to see everyone at the pre parties!!

[LonelyPilgrim1]

Sandy, yeah, I got Section 110, Row A, for Atlanta.

Nice of TM to change the seating chart after the fact, huh? God I love 'em :confused:

[EStreetJukes]

Day of the onsale, a minute into the onsale I was offered a pair in Section 5, Row F, iwth will call being the only option. I took them. After seeing the revised seating chart I have to wonder -- am I in the sixth row or is there going to be a pit in front of me? :) :funny:

[AMIW]

at this point assume you are in the sixth row - the people at Phillips have never done this stage setup before and have no idea how to put the seats down on the floor yet - i'e will sections 1,2 and 6,7 really be at an angle or will they face the stage side on

You'll be just as surprised as the rest of us come July 23rd

Oh and I see that the evil minions at Fortress TM now have (a couplde of days after the onsale) pre-paid parking on sale for the bargain price of $20 :scratch:

[EStreetJukes]

The bigger question is this:
Is it a safe 6 block walk from the Best Western on Peachtree to the arena or are my fiancee and I better off getting a cab?

[AMIW]

the best western at 330 W. Peachtree?? there are two downtown...

So assuming it's that BW
the answer to your question is yes its safe - I wouldn't walk across Simpson St and then down though there is a lot of construction and still being redeveloped areas there.

Just come out of your hotel and turn right and walk down THE Peachtree St and turn right at the Westin (that's Andrew Young International Blvd) and you will be more than safe..om your stroll to the arena....

Regards

Andrew.D.Wicks

[BruceNut]

how do you know all that Andrew? You constantly amaze me with your knowledge of places/directions!

[AMIW]

I am THE Tour Director I know all that sort of stuff :scratch:

The one at 330 W. Peachtree is the one... ($88 per night as opposed to the $290/night for the Westin, $269/night for the Omni, or $180/night at Embassy Suites)

[AMIW]

esj

that's ok you might not realise it's on W Peachtree as there's no obviously sign that Peachtree veers off to the right at that very point...

andrew.d.wicks

[bushmanj]

Stay at the Omni.

[bushmanj]

Ask them for the arena discount. They have(had) special pricing if you're in town for a concert or sporting event.

[AMIW]

there be a big convention intown that weekend that's why the hotels are $200+ instead of sub $100

[bushmanj]

Just tell 'em I sent ya.

[AMIW]

They still have the wanted posters up for you in Duluth - btw...

[Toots]

Use Priceline....

[EStreetJukes]

Use Priceline....

Too late.. already used Hotels.com. The Best Western on West Peachtree is completely booked if you call the hotel directly. However whatever rooms Hotels.com (and other internet providers) bought up are the only ones available.
