Was anyone successful w/ Eagles tix?

[okieinla]

I was on tickets.com right at 10am and was
never able to purchase 2 tix together at the $85 price!
Certainly wasn't going to pay $185.
Anyone successful?
Just the other day I was going thru some old boxes & found my concert tix stubs from the 70's/80's ..
Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - $13 and The Pretenders - $11!
Journey, Boston and Aerosmith were about 7-9 bucks!
CRaZy!

2 tickets together will range from just over $2,000 to $400.  The cheapest I can find for 2 is in the $400 neighborhood.  I guess the $85 tickets were either teaser prices or were bought in bulk by scalpers.

I wouldn't pay $85 to see a band I really listened to.  OzzFest with Warped Tour  (~30 bands) was $35 in 1999 (included a Black Sabbath reunion, Primus, DefTones, Slipknot...).  I went to a Janes Addiction show in Minneapolis in the Excel Energy Center (St. Pauls BOk), tickets were $40 on the floor.  BB King wasn't that much at the PAC. I don't get why "classic rock" stars demand so much.  I know they get it, so I don't blame them... just sayin'.

Maybe it was the 'introductory rate' ;-)

...but I think youre right about the scalpers.
Sad that most of the people who paid to build the place wont be able to afford to get inside.

I got two really good seats together and four together near the back.

I haven't decide which to keep and which to sell yet.

Man back in the day we sure saw the best for less. I saw Judas Priest, Bad Company and Foghat all for a whopping $7.50
If I remember correctly, I paid $12.00 for Peter Frampton, Gary Wright, Santana and Natural Gas at the Tulsa Fairground Racetrack. Man was it hot that Day.

Ohhh, Jane's Addiction.. would have liked to have seen that one!
Agree on the ticket price.. pretty darn pricey.
Although, I did pay a teeny bit more than the $85 to see Prince at The Staples Center a few years ago. He rocked!
But I can't see paying 400 smacks for 2 tix - or rather, can't afford paying 400 smacks!
Hey Wavoka - Congrats on the tickets! It'll be a blast!

According to bokcenter.com all seats are now sold.

Treat yourself & keep the better seats![]

The better seats might sell for more and then I could bring friends.

I was there as well, we found some freinds that were sitting behind the scoreboard and sat there. We started getting shade during Gary Wright's set. We would sneak under the scoreboard and grab beer off of the two beer trucks they had parked there.

Great news about it selling out, I assume there is some increased demand because of the inaugural event and all but still.  1 hour for 18,000 tickets.  Wow.

Judging by ebay, it seems the cheapest tickets in Tulsa are among the highest on the tour.  You can still get tickets for $62 in Boston, $70 in St. Louis, $85 in Chicago, $140 in Dallas, etc.

Guess that says something about the demand!

Sold out my donkey. The intermediaries scooped them up.

The Black Crowes are a harder seat to come by.

You'll see. Those ducats are too expensive.

I heard on KOTV-6 at noon that they were sold out, so I thought I would start a thread on it, but I was too slow!

I didn't get any tickets. Too slow again, lol!

18,000 tickets in an hour, I have to say that is impressive.
