Travels to see Kasim

This is my online diary of my trips to see Kasim.
I'm really writing this diary for (a) myself and (b) my friends but I know that other people will hit it too so feel free to browse around! Just remember that this is the way that I choose to live part of my life - I don't make judgements on the way your live your life so kindly show me the same respect.

Bad News about Tickets all round

Today two of my friends had phone calls from TicketMaster to say that their seats at Chatsworth have been moved from Row A to Row G - SEVEN rows back!! One of them has also been moved from Row A at Warwick Castle to Row C (but a block further along, closer to Kasim). I'm still waiting for my call, as I'm sure it will come.
"My" 4 US concerts haven't gone on sale yet but looking at the ML.net site, unless I want to pay for the $400 package, I may well end up with crappy seats, especially as two of "my" venues are casinos so their high-rollers will get the best seats anyway!
This is the blurb about tickets that I wrote on KI.com:
Tickets go on sale online today for some of the US Meat Loaf concerts that Kasim will be playing this summer. These tickets are presales through Meat Loaf's official fan club at MeatLoaf.net. Membership of the fan club is $40 for a year. Fan club members then have a choice of 3 ticket packages to purchase in addition. Each package is the price for one ticket per concert:
Bronze - $12 plus the ticket price (for example at the Beacon Theater in New York the total price is $90.50 which includes the ticket price of $78.50). This package guarantees being able to purchase a ticket somewhere in the venue and expires on 1st April. No indication is made about where the seat will be and it may be possible to buy a closer seat when tickets go on sale through ticketing agencies (although you save the ticket agency fees with this package).
Gold - $150. This package guarantees a seat within row 2 to 15 (plus extras which are geared towards fans of Meat Loaf including a chance to possibly meet him). This option at each venue expires on 7th July and fans will be told after that date where exactly their seat will be located.
Platinum - $400. This package guarantees a seat within the first or second row (plus extras which are geared towards fans of Meat Loaf including a meet and greet with him). This option at each venue expires on 7th July and fans will be told after that date where exactly their seat will be located.
Tickets for the Toronto, Mt. Pleasant, Robinsonville, Clearwater, Hollywood and Biloxi venues are not going on sale today but most of the other presales commence at noon and are being dealt with by a "first come, first served" process within each ticket package.
