New DT Tour dates

[Joshgirouard]

I don't get how this system will work . For The remaining dates not on presale today it says they will be next week . However the public on sale is this Friday . Good luck getting a decent ticket via their presale links for all the presales next week 🤔

[dream416]

They still don't have the Toronto date up yet........Brutal.Tickets on sale at 10.00 A.M. local time.....Right.....

May not go on sale today.  They weren't clear on what dates do and don't.  NJ tickets are on sale, but NYC are not.

They should have stayed with Crowdsurge like they did for the TA tour. Seems some people are having problems with this site.
Man I wish ( and miss) the days of standing in line to get tickets lol.

I believe if the presale is not today, then the public sale is Friday next week after the presale.

Has anyone been successful in getting tickets to the Boston show? Or any other?

[rumborak]

What's bad about the Orpheum?  I know nothing of the place so just wondering.

It's old and grungy. Plus, it's tough to find parking. But as far as seeing a concert there, all sightlines are excellent. The Opera House was nice enough (cleaner), but honestly, I'd rather see them at the Orpheum.

The grungy part is one thing, the other thing is that DT are driving the house PA way past the point of what it can do. The sound is usually horrible there. I saw Steven Wilson there and he nowhere near was as loud, and the PA was actually really nice-sounding.

According to Ticketmaster live nation presales are tomorrow and onsales to public are Friday July 28th 12pm

I just had this chat with soundrink:

How come you don't specify exact seats for the dream theater concerts ? I don't feel comfortable buying a ticket for that price without knowing where it is ,especially when you give a very broad range of where the seats could be

Hi there. We will be emailing people what their exact seating is at some point in the neat future.Sorry--*near.
How near ?... it's really hard to blindly risk that kind of money on such a huge question mark

Which offer are you looking to purchase?
im looking for toronto

The sections associated with a particular package are first come, first serve within those reserved sections.Buyers will be notified closer to the show date which seat they have exactly.
So if they go on sale at 10 am and I get mine 2 seconds later , my seats will be the best available within the bracket that you offer ?

Correct.

Do you think it's a stubbornness about the actual venues, or is it more promoter related?

Good relationships with promoters, who have relationships with the venues. And if a venue makes sense for a production, then the promoter will put them there. Unless a band hates a venue, I think they just go with what the promoter recommends. A band's management/booking agent are usually the ones who communicate directly with promoters.

Question -- do we have to go through soundlink? I saw Livenation presales, so perhaps tickets can be assigned normally through them? I need three seats for Oakland...

[mikeyd23]

Wow, I can't believe that's how they are actually selling tickets...

Its select dates go on sale this week. With the remaining dates going on sale next week (including their own pre-sales).

Sometimes I think buying tickets for a lot of shows on the on sale day is set up to screw you. They know the diehard will buy so I think the strategy is to fuck over that fan and save good seats to lure people into buying weeks later when sales sag and they have a shitload of tickets left. That's why the last time I went to the Beacon on sale day I pulled 7th row center. I've pulled great seats on show nights. I walked up for Rush at PNC a few years back and got 3rd row center 2 hours before the show.

[cramx3]

Yea, Im thinking waiting till day of might be the best course of action.  This sale is a joke IMO unless you want the meet and greet package.

Has there been any word as to whether they might change up the setlist at all for the new NA tour?

Got some friends that are down for the Austin show, but I've been seen so many of the I&W songs live multiple times before I'm more interested in what they'll be playing outside of that album.

One never knows.  I know the band were toying with the idea of making a change or two (not to the I&W portion of the set--that will stay intact).  But I have no idea how far they went down that path.  ...and even if I did know, which I don't, I wouldn't tell. 

[cramx3]

Some clarification an hour ago (yet an hour after sales started):

These are the official presales on sale today. General on-sale for these dates will be this Friday. Then another batch of presales on Aug 2 (with general on Aug 4)
10am local time today: Oakland, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Detroit, Buffalo, Boston, Asbury Park, Philadelphia, Nashville and Dallas

+2 for that excitement... a show within 3.5-hours of home and 5-blocks from The Pit (I know Ed Mitchell's not there anymore, but I'm sure it's still excellent)... I'm down!  As much as I LOVE going to D.C. for shows, it's nice to have one closer to home!

[faizoff]

Dammit no Florida dates. Have to figure out which date to do a road trip.

Indeed.  Thanks...I'm sure I'll know the exact set list by the Austin show.  One of the last ones     I'll be way too curious and check on here eventually.

I just hope that if they take out ACOS, it's not for Octavarium.  If I was gonna have the encore epic changed out it'd be for TCOT    ITPOE would be cool, too.

I got Dallas. 4th row center!

Well, I can say that I have not heard ANY discussions about taking out ACOS.  Other than I&W, I think they consider that to be a centerpiece of this tour.

Yes, it's not going anywhere since ACoS was supposed to be ON I&W

That's good news.  It will be incredible to see it live.  Always been one of my favorites.

In that case, I wouldn't mind seeing BAI taken out for TCOT.  Don't know if that would mess with the timing of the show though (as far as venue rules go) as TCOT is about 7 minutes longer.  Also maybe too long of an epic to be in the middle of the show/end of first set.  Lines in the Sand would line up better if they wanted to keep the same time.  Just thinking out loud here and wishing    I'd like to see The Bigger Picture, Hell's Kitchen, and As I Am stay on the set.

At 1030 TM didn't even have the event listed. Talk about a haphazard operation. In any case, I'm not spending 120 to see DT. Hell, that's what I paid for Roger Waters

[Samsara]

Tickets are THAT expensive? 120 each?

[El Barto]

Tickets are THAT expensive? 120 each?

Front seats are $99+TTL. When I put three 5th row in the box they were 357. Moving a few rows back they're $69. That's closer to what DT is worth in my book.

PEORIA ILLINOIS

WHAT

[Samsara]

Oakland will no doubt be pricey. F.

[Samsara]

Such BS. The soundlink presale for the Oakland gig? Literally just got posted, and apparently all the standard tickets are sold out already. now, it is just the presale, but that is ridiculous. What, did they release like 10 tickets? WTH?

[El Barto]

Picked up Row M on the center aisle for Dallas. Moving back 7 rows is worth $33 to me right now.

And to the people waiting to buy tickets closer to showtime, that's usually a great idea. However, in this case I don't see signs that they're holding many seats back for the Dallas show. It's too sporadic up front. I get the impression that there's a row here or a row there that they're sitting on, but not a whole lot, and some of those will be for the general onsale. This doesn't look like a show where you grab a front row seat 5 hours before show time.

The presale for Oakland doesn't start until tomorrow, according to TM. Soundrink, whatever the fuck they are, are only handling the VIP package.

[Samsara]

Nope, you could buy single ticket non VIP from Soundrink or whatever today. But apparently it keeps shifting from 1 or 2 available to none. Stupid.

Yes, I saw the presale for tomorrow. I'm on it! Thanks El Barto!

Excited for the Nashville show the next night.  I do not believe DT has been to Nashville, but I could be wrong.  They are playing in a 2K arena(war memorial auditorium), which is where I saw Opeth and Gojira in May.
