Ticket prices for general admission seating for concerts can very greatly from each ticket site on the web. Even on the same website you can find dozens of listings for the same general admission tickets with descriptions such as Ga, GA1, Ga-7, etc, and the price of each of these tickets can very by as much as $10 – $50 or more.

The thing that consumers need to understand is that these tickets are all the same general admission tickets, and the only difference is the price the individual ticket broker is asking for his ticket. So the point is… Buy the Cheapest One!

And if you’re not sure if there is more than one general admission area, one close to the stage and one in the rear, and this happens once in a while, then call up the ticket broker and ask! Good luck with that one though since most of the large brokerages such as Stubhub and Ticketsnow employ so many people, after waiting on hold for 15 minutes, you find they don’t know a thing about the band or the venue seating!

Find a reputable ticket broker who is not so big they cannot answer their phone in a timely manner, on their dime, and answer any questions you may have about the seating and cost of the tickets. And while you’re at it, check to see if they belong to the Better Business Bureau. And they display the link on their site that takes you to their BBB rating so you can verify the integrity of the business.

If you have any questions about seating for any concert, theatre, or sporting event, don’t hesitate to give PreferredSeat.com a call at 800 427-3914, and they’ll show you why they’ve been the best choice for tickets of any kind since 1987.

The Bon Jovi tour was recently announced and tickets are on sale now at the face value of $1725 each! And yes there are some cheaper seats for $1275, $575, and $365, and the price list goes on and on. The common ingredient in these ticket “packages” is a seat in the first few rows, or lower level seating, and a bunch of crap! And I do mean crap.

Souvenirs, messenger bags, and tour programs for customers that are somewhere in their mid 40′s to early 50′s and could care less about all the fluff tossed into a package designed to jack up the price of a ticket. What am I going to do with a Bon Jovi messenger bag? I couldn’t even admit I went to the show, much less carry around a bag with Jon Bon Jovi’s mug all over it!

No offense to the band, but your taking your fans for a ride with those prices. Forget the economy, that’s still a crazy price for any band to charge their fans with a straight face.

And I thought Jon Bon Jovi was against scalping and taking advantage of the fans as he was quoted in spinner.com. “The singer is also steamed that New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg has refused to stop the third-party sales. “We have always had the best interest in the fans at heart and repeatedly … tried to educate [show sponsor] MLB [Major League Baseball] and New York City about the fairest and easiest distribution of tickets,” Bon Jovi posted to his band’s official Web site before the heated observations were later removed.

“As I said before, ‘No good deed goes unpunished,’” the rocker added. “There are reports in the media about tickets being scalped for the free concert. I for one am not surprised, but our organization is disappointed.”.”

But that was after Ticketnews reported Bon Jovi had been scalping his tickets for the “Lost Highway” tour in 2007. It’s hard for a fan of music to understand a band that cries out about reselling tickets on one hand, then sell $1725 tickets with a bunch of crap thrown in to try to justify the price.
