US Tickets go on presale

Most of the US concerts went on presale today (not my 4 though).

This whole Internet presale thing today for the US tour tickets was surprising. To start with it was an AOL presale but anyone who knew the link could buy tickets - you didn't have to be on an AOL browser.

Out of interest, I went online as soon as the link became live and for one ticket I could get a seat in the following rows:
NYC - Row 5 for first night
NYC - Row 13 for the second night
NYC - Row 3 for the third night
Atlantic City - Row 20
Uncasville - Row 11
Darien Lake - Row 5
Boston - Row 6
Saratoga - Row 3
Cleveland - Row 3

Most of these were in the centre block but if I could have only got row 13 in NYC who has bought the front 12 rows?!! (Obviously at somewhere like Atlantic City which is a casino, their high rollers get the best seats.)

Meat Loaf held an online chat tonight - the most interesting (and disappointing) thing for me was that they will only be playing for an hour and 45 minutes at each show (this is despite people paying up to $250 for seats in Liverpool and $400 for platinum packages!).

The promoters are also holding a couple of really tacky promotions which will cut into the concert time at the US concerts. At each concert a fan will introduce Meat Loaf and then count the band into the first song and (even worse!) at some concerts, radio stations are holding "auditions" for a boy and a girl to go on stage and sing with Meat Loaf! Yeuck!
