After stressing out about tickets, and finding out that the best seats won't be available at all to the general public (in MI, the ticket prices are $59.50, $79.50, and $149.50). Only the $59.50 & $79.50 seats are available, while all the $149.50 seats are reserved for the Citibank/AAdvantage credit card owners. I finally broke down and used StubHub.com.
I have been watching StubHub since Wednesday. And finally, some damn good seats became available at decent prices (relatively speaking).
I got the following seats:
Section 113
Row "E"
Exact seat numbers are available right now, but the seats ARE together.
The tickets were $250 each. There are no bullshit Ticketmaster charges. And they even came with VIP parking (which will save me the $20 parking fee the night of the show).
The price was definitely more than I wanted to spend, but much less than the ILoveAllAccess VIP tickets. Furthermore, I figure if I had been lucky enough to get those Premium Seats, I would have dropped around $350 ($300 for two Premium seats and probably at least $50 in Ticketmaster charges). So, this means I paid $150 more, but at least I'm certain I've got some damn good seats. And for this event, I think it actually might be worth it.
Here are my seats:

Right above section 113 is 215, that's where I'm going. I've seen Motley on NYE and the Who in 2006 from that location, it's pretty damn good, side-stage, close, on the rail. Forgot about the higher prices not being offered, looks I'm getting to the Oakland Mall around 9:30 tomorrow.

Unless you're paying cash, don't go to the mall. If you don't think you can access the internet tomorrow, then call Ticketmaster directly. But don't call any Ticketmaster offices located in Michigan. All Ticketmaster locations around the country can sell tickets to any event in any state. So call some BFE location (like some place in Idaho or Montana or something) at around 9:55am. There will be no other callers so you'll get right through. And then purchase the tickets from them. Going to the mall to buy tickets is useless unless you're paying with cash.
Regardless, good luck getting tickets. This whole setup has been the worst ticket buying experience I've ever suffered through.
BTW - I live in Royal Oak too. :thumb:
And I saw Motley Crue @ the Palace earlier that same year (I believe it was February) and I sat in the exact same section (113). The seats were great. Sure, main floor would have been better if you were in one of the first 3 sections, but section 113 was a pretty nice alternative. :)

Just got my tickets through Ticketmaster online - 4 floor seats Section F and 4 seats in section 103 - password for the Citibank Card fiasco turned out to be the 10 digit customer service number on the back of the Citibank/AAdantage card - the email I got from Ticketmaster was wrong! At any rate, I got 2 sets of great seats just by using my plain old Discover card! Enjoy the show!
Just paid $326.00 for 2 seats in the next section over!
I'll pay the $20 for parking, but at least you have piece of mind that you didn't get left out!

08.18.07, 07:03 AM
Section 120, row B (bottom tier, directly across from the stage). $79 tickets. It's from the same vantage point where I saw Seger at Joe Louis this year. Great seats for view/sound. I'm really hoping that they put up a show in Grand Rapids at the Van Andel Arena (like in 2004) as that would be better as it's smaller and an easier place to get in/out of from Lansing.

I just got my tickets!! Yes, ticketmaster blows!! I was the 6th person line at the store,and all they offered were sec. 220 thru 227 upper level. For all who dont know,those sections are straight back. I went home with0out tickets and went to stubhub and got tickets for section 126 row C. for $238.00 ea. I'm taking my 13 year old son,which is something i told myself i would do before i was ever married or had kids. Just a dream of mine i guess,to share with him,some CVH!! Sadly without Mike,but hell,in concert u wont beable to tell mike is missing too much,as opposed to music on a cd. I'M SOOOOO PUMPED! Listening to "Light up the sky" Blaring it on my bose speakers!! Wooohooo!! Oct. 22nd cant get hear soon enough. All us linkers should meet up somewhere b4 the show. Rock on!!

After I saw the Who there in December, I'll always go to Van Andel Arena for a major act. It's a medium sized venue that looks like a big arena but has an intimate feel to it, and the sound is very good. Worth the two hour drive for me.

08.18.07, 11:37 AM
Ok, now I've got 4 tickets. :o
I was checking online this morning at Ticketbastard and got two Floor Seats section "E" 5th row.
I'm not keeping both pairs. My question is, which pair should I put up on StubHub. The yellow row is the one's I purchased yesterday on StubHub and paid $250 each for two tickets. The red ones are the ones I purchased today via Ticketmaster and cost me $149.50 each.
Right now, Section 113 (yellow highlight) tickets...the tickets range from $445 to $729 each. If I resell them for $450 each, I'll take in $900. Back out the the $500 I spent yesterday and the $330 I spent today, and I'll being seeing Van Halen for free and actually make a $70 profit.
If I sell the Section "E" floor seats (red highlight) those are going for $225 - $530. So, if I sell them for $225, that will pretty much make up for the cost of the tickets I bought yesterday (Actually, I'll still be in the whole $50 on that purchase). Add the remaining $50 to the $149.50 tickets, and it'll mean I paid $200 per ticket to see Van Halen.
What do you think I should do? Sell the yellow tickets and make a $70 profit, or sell the red tickets and end up paying $200 but having better seats?
Here are the two pairs of seats I have now.

My co-worker has a ticket for $50 that is in section 212, row 2.
I'm afraid this version of VH may never happen again, so I'm thinking of buying it from her, even if all I see is the side of Alex's drum setup.
I'm not so sure I care anymore what the media ultimately thinks. I want to see DLR with Ed & Alex. I don't care if DLR sounds like drunken donkey......he wrote the friggin' songbook of my youth. And the music that "all the older neighborhood kids" listened to. (I didn't have an older brother, so I stuck to those guys like white-on-rice)

Good point, it is a Monday night in October. Duh, I didn't even consider that when I asked if he'd be coming along. As far as how things are going for me, I feel absolutely awesome! I still have some shortcomings and always will due to the accident, but I feel great, I've been back to work for a while now, and everything is going pretty decent.

Hi all, newbie here... I am in MI and am going to the Palace show, 5-star via ILAA. Would love to meet others from this forum at the pre-party.
We did ILAA in 2004 and it was incredible, the only thing missing was DLR. Now that he is in I can't wait, even though there's no soundcheck (the highlight of the 04 package imho).
@mdvvm - Auburn Hills is nothing like Pontiac. It's a nice suburban area. That said, I'm not sure what hotels are good, but there are plenty nearby - although not sure about walking distance. Someone else can give you recommendations I'm sure.
Hope to see some of you in a couple months.

Oh, mdvvm/Mike, I'm staying at the Hilton Suites of Auburn Hills which is 4 miles from the Palace. I didn't search for places really hardcore, just went on Hotels.com. Everything around Auburn Hills seemed pretty pricey unfortunately, and this one was as close as any and seemed pretty nice from the description.

08.24.07, 07:27 PM
It's really simple: Mike doesn't know shit, except for food.
He claims to play guitar, yet thinks VHIII has incredible solos. Those are the WORST solos, both in feel, cadence, vibe, and technical ability that I've ever heard in a VH album.
They're basically Nugent freaks, which means they're Sammy freaks, as both play in Detroit every single New Year, and that's that.
It's not difficult.
Mike is a major f*ck stick. He doesn't know music, he doesn't sports, he doesn't know anything except being fat and smoking weed.
If you offered him a choice between "Somebody Get Me a Doctor!" and "Dirty Water Dog", he'd choose the latter.

No Banner this time but keep a look out for the Blue Z28 with the VH on the back. Also look for me in the pit.Scored 8th row in there this week.

I'd love to go tomorrow (Sat), but I just can't swing it so I'll have to "settle" for just the one show 5* Monday night. Anybody have any plans prior to or after the show Monday?

I'd love to meet you somewhere, Brooks! I don't have any plans as of yet, tho.

1 more day
The problem with the Palace is its out in the sticks, and not a good place to meet! Did any one buy the boot shirt at the Joe? I got one on the way out, the guy wanted $20, I got him down to $10, and asked him to brake a $20!!
Looks cool, Classic VH on the front, On the back it looks like the opening screen on the VH web site with the tour dates, and Marley as the opener ! pretty cool for $10!

All right, seriously, guys: WE NEED A PLAN. I am driving tomorrow, so there will be no late BS for this show! Where should we meet? WRIF has their party at Hoops. I have no clue where that is. :D
I'll be coming up Telegraph, then Square Lake, then Opdyke all the way to the Palace. (No, I don't take the freeway. It is SO backed up at the Palace exit, I don't even bother with it).
I know there is a Burger King or something on Opdyke! LOL
Brooks, what is your driving route?
Shari
once you get on Opdyke go past the sivver dome, and take it till you hit the Palace! Hoops is on the left hand side just after you have to vear of to the right at the end of Opdyke!
Hope that makes scense!
Where are you comming from?

Well, I've got to come from the west side of the state of course, and the directions that I have lead me to University Dr., Opdyke, and then to my Hotel 4 miles from the Palace on Featherstone Rd. I'm hoping to leave Grand Rapids sometime between 10-11, which would get me there barring any problems between 1-2. 5* gets going @ 5, so anything prior to that that leaves me enough time to get to the Palace by 5 is cool w/me!! Hope we get this plan together!! Wish I knew the area a little better. I'd have been better off going last night to the Joe, as I've been to countless Tiger games over the years and know my way around there pretty well. Auburn Hills is a little different story, but I'll manage.

me and a couple buddies have a limo that seats 20-22 people. The women at the limo place said mondays r slow and she gave me a escalade for the same price as a smaller one. I couldnt pass it up. So if any ladies wanna hitch a ride, you are more than welcome. Just pm me. Just think, tomorrow at this time we will all be rocking to the greatest band of all time.

I won't be there real early, but if any linkers are doing 5 star, I'd love to meet up there. I'll be the one with the Frankenstein shirt and fingernails. :cool:

Yeah go to Hoops It's less than a mile south of the Palace. Real good food there!! By the way, once you veer to the right get over to the left hand side of the road there's 3 0r 4 lanes right there. Hoops is on M24 the same road as the Palace.
Despite what I said about the show at the Joe, I'm geeked about tonight. Brooks have fun in 5* and look for me before VH goes on. Like I said I'll be 8th row in the pit.
Shari come by Hoops and I'll buy you a beer. Call my cell 8106916324 if you have any trouble finding it. You'll see the Franky shoes, VH tat, and ripped jeans with my bald melon.

SWEET! I'll be looking for you! I was looking all over for you at JLA, saw a couple guys that MIGHT have been you, but I never saw a VH tattoo to be sure. ;)
How late will you be at Hoops?

OK, I'm trying to get a hold of my friend and her phone has been busy for a half hour now!!! GRRRRRRRRRR..... I will try to get there!
Brooks and I are going to try to at least say hello to each other in person after the show. I've got both your cell #s in my phone, so you may be hearing from me!

WOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Much better show tonight! Ed's solo made me cry, just like it's supposed to! :thumb:
And - I'm so excited - I got to meet Joe (Dimoncutr) and Brooks (Interceptor)! YAY! Sadly, my phone didn't store the picture, so I hope one of yours turned out OK!
