Don't know if this is the place to go or start, but want to let GL's booking agents know what a lousy job the Bicentennial Center is doing in advertising and providing access to tickets for the August 24 Show. Really hope GL is doing a benefit or at least has a guarantee minimum from the Bicentennial Center.
There is no central place to get tickets reliably. Ticketmaster does not handle tickets for this event. They have placed a few tickets in some music stores in selected towns but when attempting to purchase them the music stores will only accept cash or check as "it will cost them to accept credit cards because they are not making any money on the sales." That is if they realize that they even have the tickets.
Tried twice to purchase directly from the Bicentennial Center but management evicently does not trust the 24 hour ticket sales with a seating chart as they could not tell me what was available, want your money but take pot luck on seating. When I attemtpted to purchase tickets at Tom's House of Music, (listed on the Web as a sales site) he did not even know he was selling them, rummaged around in a drawer and found an unopened envelope with the tickets in them then informed me they were only doing it as a favor to Bicentennial Center and did not make money on the tickets so would only accept cash or check.
I live 200 miles away in Garden City, Kansas and really wanted to attend the show, but is such a hassle getting tickets not worth it.
Hope GL has a great show but have my doubts after this experience.
