When concert tickets for some top artists go on sale, they sell within a matter of minutes. So this leaves you with a problem: if you know that your favorite artist will be going on tour, and you absolutely don’t want to miss the concert in your area, how can you ensure that you manage to get tickets? You know that the tickets will most likely sell out really quickly, but you don’t want to be one of the disappointed ones. So, I have put together a few tips that will maximize your chances of getting those highly sought after tickets.

First of all, you need to get signed up to the relevant fan club or mailing list for your favorite artist or band. Members get sent frequent updates about the band’s activities and tours, and many fan clubs allow members to buy concert tickets before the tickets officially go on sale. Some of the clubs use presale passwords, that allow members to purchase tickets in advance from the usual websites, such as Ticketmaster. If you love the band so much that you intend going to every concert in your area, then joining a fan club and getting this concession of early sales is a must. Watch out though, as there are most likely more fans in the club than tickets available for presale.

Of course you could just try buying the tickets when they go on sale to the general public, but you have to go for it the minute they come out on sale. With a bit of research you can find out exactly when, to the minute, that they are going on sale, but make sure that you have the right time zone. Go to the website some minutes before the release time, and keep reloading the page. As soon as the tickets are available the link will appear that will take you to the page where you can buy them. Select the number of tickets that you want, and, if the tickets are available, you will be offered seat numbers. If the seat numbers don’t suit you, you can release the tickets back, and try again for better seats, but think twice about doing this, as you may lose the chance altogether due to the high level of demand. If the seat selection that you are offered seems reasonable enough, then take them to avoid missing out altogether.

So what if the show sells out and you are still without tickets? Well, you still have one or two options available, but now you are talking higher ticket prices, because it is a seller’s market. The prices of the tickets will be determined by the age-old economic rules of supply and demand, with the more popular concerts commanding very high ticket prices. Ticket brokers usually manage to have a reasonable number of tickets in the highly sought after areas such as front rows, and the center of the auditorium. Many ticket brokers actually have their available seats displayed online, so that you can browse for where you would like to sit. You may get good seats with the brokers, but they will most likely come at a price.

So, by continuing searching and not giving up, you may well come across those concert tickets that you are after.

Concert tickets are big business and sometimes hard to come by. There are many ways of ensuring you get to see your favourite artists. Here are 10 Tips to consider when looking to purchase concert tickets.

1) Find out in advance where the band or artist is going on tour. Check the bands website for this information.

2) Search the main website to see if tickets are still available. One will be designated the main vendore for concert tickets, so check with these.

3) Join the bands fan club if they have one ( most do ). They often make tickets available to members first.

4) Have a look on ebay to see if the tickets you are after are advertised for sale

5) If buying from someone on ebay check their seller feedback/reputation first. Make sure you know how and when you will receive your tickets following payment.

6) Search concert ticket broker websites

7) When purchasing tickets on the internet, make sure the connection is secure and verified when entering credit card details.

Beware of fraudulent concert ticket sellers. Try to find a marketplace that offers a guarantee on transactions for peace of mind.

9) Avoid scalpers. These are the ticket touts that will try to sell you tickets on the street. They are best avoided.

10) Have a look at stubhub.com and tickets.com as possible alternatives to the more well known ticketmaster.com

Okay, so remember, buy early, watch out for fraud and try to get the best price possible. Look at all the different online concert ticket vendors and compare prices. Try to use a marketplace that offers some guarantee on transactions undertaken and avoid desperate last minute buying from ticket- touts. Most of all, enjoy the concert!

After the glorious (albeit brief) Pink Floyd reunion for “Live 8″ in 2005, Floyd fans once again had something to talk about. Live 8 energized the band members, and fans were anxiously waiting for some new material.

Unfortunately that material has now arrived in the form of “solo” efforts, not the full-blown Floyd album or reunion tour for which fans had hoped. But for the truly ravenous amongst us, it’s enough.

Half the band (guitarist David Gilmour and keyboardist Rick Wright) toured in promotion of Gilmour’s new record, “On An Island,” on which Wright also plays. The other half (bassist Roger Waters and drummer Nick Mason) played in Europe, and Roger released an opera CD. While Roger’s project was quickly relegated the status of “Pink Floyd Footnote,” Dave’s album and tour were a smash.

A recording of the Gilmour-Wright tour made at London’s Royal Albert Hall in 2006 was released on DVD in 2007, entitled “Remember That Night.” It is a welcome addition to a sorely under-documented catalog of live material by Pink Floyd members.

And the concert is just great! Gilmour has some strong material from “On An Island” which makes up the fist half of the show, and uses the even-better Pink Floyd stuff to up the ante in the second half. The emphasis here is on musicianship, not fancy lights or inflatable pigs. So in many regards the DVD rivals even the “PULSE” shows, on which the Floyd’s playing was not very tight.

The highlights are many. David Crosby and Graham Nash sing on at least three tracks, including “Shine On You Crazy Diamond.” David Bowie sings lead on “Arnold Layne” and “Comfortably Numb.” Gilmour’s guitar playing has never sounded better. The set list digs deep too. The usual fare is supplemented by great versions of “Fat Old Sun” and “Wot’s… Uh The Deal,” plus “Echoes.” There are even a couple of Syd Barrett songs, including the electric “Dominoes” and acoustic “Dark Globe.”

The bonus disc doesn’t slack off either. It contains plenty of music culled from venues other than the main Royal Albert Hall concert. The documentary which follows the concert tour behind the scenes is a real treat too. You will see scenes from Rick Wright’s birthday party, witness the playing of wine glasses for live versions of “Shine On,” and even catch a chance encounter between Dave and Roger (who seemed quite amicable, no doubt aware of the cameras rolling).

The bottom line is this: Floyd fans need to check out this concert DVD. “Remember That Night” is equal to “PULSE,” lengthier than “Live 8,” and way better than the embarrassing 80’s concert tape, “The Delicate Sound Of Thunder.”

Grade: B+

Orchestra Hall, a monument to Beaux Arts architecture located just a little south on Chicago’s “Miracle Mile”, was designed before the days of equality for the masses. It was, up to that point, a place to enjoy opera and symphony and such. In order to get to the cheap seats you hiked up 7 (or was it 10?) stories through a winding, narrow, windowless corridor that only accommodated one way, single file traffic. This set up allowed adoring, but economically challenged, fans to get to seats in the roost without disturbing the “real” customers. The seats ran to the top of the Hall and the incline was as close to 45 degrees as engineering could safely construct. This may not sound like a recipe for having a good time but the Hall lived up to its conceit in some ways. The acoustics, for example, were celebrated and legendary. Also, in the 50’s, a “jazz concert” as opposed to a “jazz set”, particularly in such rarefied air, was a different kind of party and a bow to Jazz’ growing recognition as a “legitimate art” form.
The night of the event was cold and punctuated by some sort of weather disturbance that I, and my crew, (obviously) thought unremarkable for a Chicago winter. We were there to see the Dave Brubeck (featuring Paul Desmond) and Gerry Mulligan Quartets. And if we had to sit on top of the building we would have. We were young enough to make the ascent to the top with minimal damage or complaint and the prospects were way too delicious to be dampened by weather and steps. As long as our noses didn’t bleed from the altitude we were happy.
The Dave Brubeck Quartet was scheduled to go first. After some announcements that I don’t remember, the crowd quieted and exhibited the decorum to which the high-toned venue was accustomed. The curtain parted and there THEY were at a casual ready. There was Ron Crotty on the bass, Lloyd Davis on the drums, Paul Desmond on the alto sax and Brubeck, with huge glasses rimmed to match his shiny black grand piano, on the keys. The set immediately and unceremoniously opened with one of the soon-to-be-jazz classics which are now recognizable by the first bar – and proceeded from there. Can’t remember the exact offerings but I can remember how it felt.
Subsequent liner notes have said it all in better words that I can command. Genius; Controlled soaring; Astonishing…respectful… challenging interplay. Innovative timing. Surprising improvisation. In addition, there was just enough of an interjection of a classically trained mind to let you know how Bach devotees, back in the day, felt upon first hearing his music. The absolute artistry of everyone involved ate away at the reserve the Hall usually inspired. The atmosphere became infused with the hums, wry smiles and spontaneous claps and responses of a real JAZZ audience, which, we would soon learn, was the same no matter the venue.
At the break it was announced that Gerry Mulligan’s flight had been delayed as a result of the weather. Small decorous groan. Brubeck and company resumed but in the middle of an offering, a harried and bedraggled looking Gerry Mulligan lurched on to the stage (half carrying/ half propelled by his ridiculously large horn) with his group straggling behind. Any Orchestra Hall-tied decorum that had been left at that point in time was immediately lost.
After some adjustments Mulligan took the floor and proceeded to exorcize the frustrations that accompany delayed travel, nasty weather and other assorted challenges to his usual cool. The group- usually sartorially perfect in (very) narrow suits and ties but now mismatched and rumpled- pushed, drove, strode, charged and jammed for another hour. The audience went into tent revival mode.
But there was more…
Just about the time that we were sure we were going to be thrown out, Brubeck and Desmond returned – just ambled back out from the wings. All hell broke loose.
With a minimal amount of chit chat – or that’s the way I remember it – everybody involved launched into the first piece of another full set. Desmond and Mulligan romanced, challenged and dueled. Brubeck, hunched over the shiny black grand, flashed his devious cleverness and exhibited a little less cool and a lot more intensity. It was at least 1 am and nobody was moving an inch.
About an hour later, we found ourselves on a crisp, deserted Michigan Avenue. I don’t even remember the descent from our perch high above the stage. The audience was still in the unity of the experience and had not yet disintegrated into individuals. They still carried the awe and were congratulating each other on being in the right place at the right time. And then the famous Chicago “hawk” reminded us of where we were. We moved deeper into our coats and hurried to our cars but we were warm all the way home.

I wanted to get my friend something great for his birthday and I knew that Kid Rock was coming to town. I had to find a way to find the best Kid Rock tickets that I could so I did a lot of searching until I finally found the perfect ones. I paid the money and we both went to the concert and had the time of our lives.

Kid Rock tickets are a great opportunity to have for any of his concerts. They are wild and crazy and you are never going to know what will happen next. The music is loud and creative and all of the people are dancing and singing and having the best time of their lives. Every song was a hit and we could not have asked for a better show.

Kid Rock sang all of his best songs and some other ones from other artists. It did not matter if the song was his or some one else’s’, he was the one singing and that made it the best time. We all started to sing along with him and danced the entire night away.

There were people of all ages with their Kid Rock tickets in hand and waiting to get into the gate. They were all so excited to get to see their favorite rock star in person. There were young people and there were older ones too. They were all there for one reason and that was to see Kid Rock perform.

He fits all kinds of people’s personalities. They are all so excited to see him and could only hope for his autograph. That would be a dream come true for a lot of his fans. They were hoping to catch just a peak of him to see if they could get just a touch of his skin. Everyone was yelling and cheering him on and wanted more and more as the night came to a close.

Kid Rock did come out for an encore and everyone was singing and screaming for more. He was the best and defiantly worth every penny. I would recommend for anyone who gets the chance to get Kid Rock tickets and take in the show. They will have the best time of their lives and want to see when the next concert is coming to town. If you did not like him before, you will love him after.

Fiona Apple in concert is a must see. Fiona grew up with entertainer parents and she has incredible talent indeed. She can play the piano like no other and her array of musical skills is unparalleled. She can put on a show of raw emotion in concert and light up a crowd like there is no tomorrow.

She can sing and her voice inflection has such a wide range it is almost as if she is several great singers in one. It is as if there is nothing she cannot do. Luckily we got some tickets to see her in Washington DC and it was a sell-out crowd and unfortunately sold out parking too, nevertheless she was unbelievable.

This stunning young lady not only makes great music, she can really rock a crowd. Fiona Apple in Concert; well, She Does it All. She plays, she dances, she entertains and she can sing like no other. I do not know where she learned to play the piano like that but wow! And she is very young for an entertainer of her caliber.

When she tours near you, you must go see Fiona Apple in concert and buy her CD. The band was magnificent indeed as well, what a team they have. This is a must see concert and if you have the chance take it and you will be glad you did. Consider all this in 2006.

Can we use the roar of the high intensity crowd and all their human energy to light up the stadium? If we can use all this high energy, can we get a discount on our tickets for the energy savings? How about a Rock Concert discount tickets thru Alternative Energy Lighting Program? Sounds good to me? But is it really possible to light up a stage and all the lighting using vibrational energy from all the people packed in?

It maybe possible by placing large 4 x 8’ sandwich sheets with a taunt film on the vibrational side and small copper lined tubes, hundreds of them running perpendicular to the sheets, with magnets inside bouncing back and forth. These magnets will charge a capacitor and be hooked up to an LED lighting system using fiber optics or reflectors, each one hooked up to a .2 to .5 watt light. With hundreds of thousands of lights hooked up in a composite format it will light up the stage and building.

Currently this technology is being used in those little flashlights you see advertised on television that you shake and they light, but you never need batteries. This idea of lighting up the stadium is using that technology on a larger scale with miniaturized parts making up the guts between the sandwich sheets. Let there be light, thru vibrational energy and there was. Think on it.
