As you have all probably heard, Bon Jovi will be playing on July 12th on the Great Lawn in Central Park. Sixty thousand fans are currently being given tickets for free and I am sure they will be pretty strict about not letting anyone else near the concert. The system for getting the tickets is ridiculous - they said the most tickets would be available at Yankee Stadium but now they say that stadium only has 7,500 and Shea Stadium, KeySpan Park and the Staten Island Yankees probably have even less. Tickets will also be given out in Manhattan but at a date and time to be announced. Radio and TV stations already have some tickets to give away but good luck getting those. So imagine my surprise yesterday when I received an e-mail from AEG Live, thanking me for being a fan and offering me a personal password which would entitle the user to two tickets out of their block of 20,000 starting at 9am today.
Make that 9:25am, slow start. In the intervening 25 minutes I searched for more information and discovered that there are lots of people who felt they should have received a password but didn't get one. I have no idea what list I am on that entitled me to one but there it was and today I got my two tickets no problem (along with two free downloads on iTunes - I'm up $1.98 on the deal). They still are unorganized though - there is no detail information available about the show even though it is ten days away. Let's just hope they get it together in time because while I think the show will be fun, I don't particularly relish the idea of elbowing my way through 59,999 lost and annoyed people. We'll see.
