brat7760 Posted May 8, 2012 Share Posted May 8, 2012 This is my first post since rejoining the forum from several years back, but I just scored front row ticket from ticketmaster for $375.00. I took the advice from several of you and just waited for better seats to pop up. This is crazy after 5 days these seats come available. Some of you might remember me from the Vapor Trails motorcycle I built and posted here many years ago. I just wanted to share this with those that would be as excited as I am!

And I remember that bike! Didn't someone from the Rush camp see it and have some good things to say? Yes they have all seen pictures of it anyway. The coolest thing was when I gave pictures to Loren during the drumkit tour and he said he would pass it on to Neil and the boys. It was about a year or so later that I received a postcard from Neil saying that he really liked the bike and he and Michael his security guy dreamed and discussed about building a Rush bike. So when I got that from Neil I was pretty excited that he liked it and that I did a good job building it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

driventotheedge Posted May 10, 2012 Share Posted May 10, 2012 (edited) Congrats to the OP!! I was fortunate enough to score 2 front row tix for myself and my gf to the Ridgefield, WA show last year on June 28th. There were 24 seats in row 1 and we had seats 15 & 16. I got them for, I believe it was a bit over $100 each, through the MT pre-sale. I suppose I just happened to be clicking in a nano second after the person that released them for sale clicked them available. It was an amazing night that I will never, ever forget. You are going to REALLY have a great time man. Please post something after the show and let us know all about it.

If you think VIPNation isn't a scalping point, you might want to do some better research. Any of these promotional ticket sellers: i,e; Ticketmaster, VIPNation, MusicToday, all scalp tickets to brokers in bulk for sale elsewhere. If you don't believe that, let me assure you that three weeks ago, I could've bought tickets from StubHub to the show at the Jiffy Lube Ampitheater before the presale!
