Counting Crows Presale

I am always receiving e-mails or messages with presales and deals for tickets so I am going to from now on attempt to pass as many as I can along to each of you.

The first one I have is for presale tickets to see The Counting Crows with Maroon 5 at the Tweeter Center in Mansfield, MA on August 2. The presale password is “rock” and this offer is good from Thursday April 3, starting at 10:00 AM and running through April 3 at 10:00 PM on http://www.ticketmaster.com/.

Presales are tricky things and don’t always offer the best tickets. I won’t be purchasing tickets to this show because I’ll be seeing Bruce Springsteen on August 2 at Gillette Stadium but if I were going to attempt to buy tickets I’d look for tickets in the first two sets of sections. Sections 1-3 run directly in front of the stage and I believe sections 4-9 run directly behind these. Anything in sections 1-9 should be a good location anything beyond that I would not consider a very good location. Presales generally contain a set of tickets that are allotted by the venue and promoter and contrary to what you might think don’t always contain the best tickets—stick with sections 1-9 and you should be in good shape.

The Counting Crows have a new album out that sounds like a good one—there single “You Can’t Count on Me” is a catchy song with good rock hooks. I’m not huge on Maroon 5 but people seem to like them so maybe you do too.
