<p>If you look under the FAQ it seems you don’t get to actually pick your seats, just the section. It makes it sound like the better seats will be available during the presale, but I would hope there are tickets in each price range available.</p>
<p>Where did you see the ticket prices? I can not find them for my city as the concert isn’t listed anywhere other than the Carol King site.</p>
<p>I’d love to do this concert, but the terms seem a bit dicey. Tickets are $140 and change, making for a pretty salty evening by my standard, even so I’d still count up my pennies and buy a couple of tix…but…they are nontransferable and are only available on a ‘will call’ basis–pick them up immediately before concert. So if something, 6 months down the road, precludes my attending the concert I can’t recoup my money by selling the tickets. Must present picture ID/passport and credit card used to purchase tix… This must be standard, but it leaves me uncertain. Suppose tix will be available later and under less restrictive circumstances, but I’m not one to spend hours trying to buy concert tickets…Thoughts?</p>

<p>I just checked my city and it looks like all that is available in the presale is a few rows on the floor. I would rather sit on the side and as rutgersmamma said, the tickets are will call only. I will take my chance and buy when they go on sale to the general public.</p>
<p>If you go here [James</a> Taylor Online - Tour Dates](<a href=“http://www.james-taylor.com/tour/]James”>Tour Dates – James Taylor Online) and click on the “buy tickets” link, it takes you to the general ticket sale, with prices. The venue I’m considering has prices ranging from $37 to $122.50 (I don’t know if that includes all the additional handling fees – probably not). The presale price of $141.50 is steep, and is for very limited seating – in the venue I’m looking at, it’s the first 15 rows only.</p>
<p>As for the way they are selling the tickets, that you are only able to pick up at the box office with ID – I recently read an article or saw a TV report about this – it’s a way to stop scalpers from buying up all the seats immediately and leaving fans in the cold. While I understand your concerns, I also appreciate the effort to make more tickets available to the general public at reasonable prices. There is a good chance that the tickets sold to the general public will be offered under those conditions too.</p>
<p>I’m going to skip the pre-sale - $145 in my city for a family of 4 is too steep for me. Think I’ll take my chances with the general public sale.</p>
<p>It looks like I may need to skip this as well.:(</p>
<p>The concert date near my area happens to fall on the night after D2’s graduation. The commencement ceremony is held outdoors and in case of inclement weather it will be postponed to the following evening, which has already happened twice in the last three years. And I’m not about to gamble $300, for two tickets, on the weather.
It would be great if they could add a second night to this show.</p>
<p>Ya, Charlotte, for 2 tix $267… I’m gonna pass… I guess I will watch the concert on pbs, someday. This is like our grad school reunion. Dinner is $100+ per person and we might pass on that too.</p>
<p>we are skipping as well…not the expense necessarily (it would have been my b’day present), but rather that MSG does not appeal to H and I as a venue for this type of concert…for those of you attending, let us know how it goes…</p>
<p>We’re going! Tickets bought.
:-)</p>
<p>Got my tickets, too! It was really easy, compared to the mess I faced the last time I tried (unsuccessfully) to get tickets on Ticketmaster. It’s a lot of money, but they are our birthday presents to each other, and we go to about one concert every three years. And I’ll be in the first 15 rows!</p>
<p>I sent a whiny email (well, hope it wasn’t too much of a whine) and got the following cheerful response, as to whether floor seats were reserved in Charlotte:</p>
<p>Yes, they are reserved seats. We are offering to two options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Floors, rows A-Q</li>
<li>Section 104-106, row A-O</li>
</ul>
<p>Tickets are assigned on a first-bought, first-assigned basis and your exact seating assignment is sent out to you five-six weeks after the presale has wrapped up.</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>

<p>Yay! I’ve got two tickets in Kansas City…hoping my ds will go with me. If not, I’ll take a girlfriend.</p>
<p>They’re already scalping nosebleed seats on Stubhub and elsewhere for big bucks. Come June I think we’re going to think our $110 floor seats were a pretty sweet deal.</p>
<p>I bought my tickets this morning.!!! something to look forward to.</p>
<p>We skipped the presale but bought tickets on line for MSG. We rarely attend concerts but love Tanglewood Lawn Seats. Last big concert we went to was Simon & Garfunkle at MSG; I thought it’d be pretty awful but the acoustics were great all over (and we had nosebleed seats).</p>
<p>Bought my tickets within 5 minutes of the presale opening! It’s a large venue in our town, too, but with the best possible seats, I’m hoping for the best. DH and I hardly ever go to concerts, so we might as well get the best seats we can when we do go. I don’t believe I’ve ever bought tickets to ANYTHING 5 months ahead . . .</p>
<p>Wanted to go but we also don’t like MSG for this type of concert. Too big, cold and impersonal. Its More of a stadium than a concert hall. Disappointing.</p>
<p>If you signed up for email alerts then you got this email like I did. If you didn’t… !!!</p>
<p>On January 20th, Carole King and James Taylor will appear on the Today Show and the Late Show with David Letterman,
promoting their highly-anticipated “Troubadour Reunion” world tour.</p>
<p>What? Not on Colbert??</p>
<p>They are on now! Sometimes the musical guess will stay on with Kathy Lee.</p>
<p>I got the email for the additional NYC date and decided to cave, despite my misgivings about MSG. ('Cause you guys are all so excited!) Then went to buy tickets at 10 sharp this morning, only to discover they don’t accept American Express. My local fish market won’t accept Amex, and I understand that the fees are rough on a small business, so I bring cash. Bu these guys? With the insane ticket prices ($347 for two seats), do you think they can spare it? Oh well, I guess they just saved me from myself!</p>
