This Summer's Hottest Ticket? No Doubt About It...

Hey hey hey, I saw the Jonas Brothers 3D Concert Experience this weekend, and it was quite the experience (and this time, I am not just calling it "an experience" because I don't want to say it sucked. It rocked. Go see it. Right now. Even if you saw a show on the Burning Up tour. Even if you think Joe is a jerk for breaking up with Taylor on the phone - you'll love his duet with her.)

But anyways, I would love to write more about that terrific piece of concert-movie magic, but my brain is kind of stuck in crazed fangirl mode (it's a miracle I've managed to write this many coherent sentences) after I found out that the No Doubt reunion tour I've heard rumors of
is happening
this summer
Paramore's opening
(so are The Sounds)
It's coming to Nissan Pavilion
June 14th
Details at No Doubt's site and LiveNation
Tickets go on sale this Saturday (March 7th)
So I am suuuuuuper psyched!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And lucky me, I only have 2 final exams this year, and the concert is the night before the last day of exams, and lucky, lucky me, that just so happens to be the day of one of my exams. Yes, approximately 7 hours after Gwen & the gang quit rocking the DC area, I will be taking my Spanish exam.

Plus, um, tickets will sell out in like, 10 seconds. And they'll probably cost a million bucks anyways. So log on right at 9:00 AM this Saturday if you want to stand a chance. Or join the tour club, but then your tickets will cost a million and fifteen bucks.

Oh, and, um belated warning about reading the reviews on LiveNation's page: they are very favorable reviews. They will make you feel even crappier if you cannot see the show because it is right before your Spanish exam...

Okay, I've collected myself enough to dig up some dirt on the rationale begind this Tour Club thing, and apparently it's a way to prevent scalpers from getting the bet seats, accordign to the LA Times. No Doubt's manager told them the system is scalper-proof, but Ticket Liquidator has already proven him wrong. $54 lawn seats, anyone?

I'd love to give you a general idea of what tickets will cost (mostly because I'd like to have a general idea myself), but Ticket Liquidator appears to have no system for pricing its tickets. Don't ask me why an $82 lawn seast beats a $54 lawn seat or why a front row seat is only $311 while seats in the farther away section 103 go for $896...

StubHub has lawn seats rangin from $58 to $101, but their prices for section 103 make $896 look like a steal. For First Tier 103, they're asking for - brace yourself - $1,175.

But at least you're getting more than jsut tickets to a possibly once-in-a-lifetime event. with the purchase of tickets, you also get access to free downloads of No Doubt's entire collection. Um, yeah, like, all their songs. Like, 10 years of music. Makes those $54 lawn seats look like quite a deal...
