This problem happened to me when I tried to get tickets to the Sept. 19, 2006 concert in Wausau, Wisconsin.
I had called several months before inquiring about tickets. They informed me that season ticket holders get first crack. I thought about buying a season ticket I would never use for $100 or so just to gain access to the Lightfoot tickets before the general public. But they assured me that they had never sold out a concert with just season ticket holders. They recommended calling the first week of public sales to buy my tickets.
Later, tickets went on sale to the general public at 10:00 a.m. one day. I called during my lunch hour the very first day and the damn thing was sold out !! In fact I was already #35 on the waiting list. She apologized profusely and couldn't explain the unexpected demand.
I did so for her: This guy is a legend and won't be doing this forever. After his 2002 illness and near death, people are recognizing that even having him on stage today is a gift.
I called a few days before the concert and I had advanced to #28 on the waiting list.
After that, I never fart around or delay on getting my Lightfoot tickets.
