    My wife loves Rob Thomas and wants to see him in the Woodlands on June 24th.

    There are only a million places to buy tickets.

    Where do you buy yours?

    Well ticketmaster would be the original provier selling at retail, right? After that, you are either buying from scalping companies, scalping individuals, or folks that just want to dump extra tickets.

    I find that ebay prices often beat other scalper prices, even if you are buying from a ticket scalping company.

    In fact, we bought Lion King tickets when they came to town like 3-4 years ago on Ebay from a scalping company and paid 30% less than that same company had on their website.

    I was looking to possibly buy tickets in the first 10 rows center.

    That should give you an idea on the price range. I'm seeing Seat 1 center at 300 bucks. I think Rob Thomas seems like a nice guy, but not 300 buck nice.

    For that kind of money, my wife would expect a ride ride.

    Ahh, Rob Thomas... :) Good times. "Push" was the official song of my fifth grade "dance." It was glorious. I loved MB20's debut album.

    I think I've only purchased advance tickets for two shows, Sigur Ros from Ticketmaster and He is Legend from PayPal (Java Jazz website). Everything else I buy at the door.

    That's ironic. MC is on my banned list.

    :D

    This is for my wife. I couldn't quote a lyric on any mb20/rb song.
