There are no presale tickets that I
can find. Been here for 1 1/2 hours,last year ticketmaster took calls by how long you had been waiting.
If they are only doing American Express
I will kill them. Or scalpers for that
matter.

Cher-the only presale is for AE card holders-so far the ticket prices for FOxwoods in Connecticut are $350 fro "front row", a separate category, $275 for gold package, 230 for silver package and it looks like $125 for orchestra seats. Have to say, the presales were slower than for James Taylor or S&G. I did not get on till 10;10 as I was caught up on the phone and there were many selection in orchestra (V row being the offered best selection at that time). Yet James Taylor I was shut out by 10:03!
Do not despair Cher-AE only gets certain seats for presale, not a block, so you can still get good selections on the regular sale day or go for the higher price selection immediately.

Thanks Barb, What do you get for those
gold or silver packages? I didn´t even
see any of them. I still don´t like the
idea, I kept track of what the offered
for awhile and I only missed one thing
I was desperate to see so it wasn´t
worth switching.

I sprang for the silver package for a Leonard Cohen concert and it was well worth it. Dead center, first real seat (two rows of folding chairs in front of me.) So I bought the silver this time for PS in Connecticut. The seats are okay, first row behind the Orchestra, dead center. Since it costs me $1500 in airfare and hotel to get there from the Caribbean, the $250 ticket price is worth it to me. You also usually get some little cheap trinket. (However with Cohen it was a tour program and a very nice blanket.)

hi Richard are you going to foxwoods also? Are you in that shaded VIP area on the seating chart? Row V is fairly close to there-but I would really like to get good seats to Beacon
Were you coming to the first S&G concert go-round? I just recall expensive hotel/flight costs for some folks and wonder if they ever got their money back. I lost $100 something from Canada hotel

Barb, they say Front Row Center buy
now, but you can´t. I don´t know if they are all sold out or they save some
for the regular date, Saturday. In front of Row AA are 4 rows of pit
seats, maybe row AAA is really the front row. I never saw the pit area
available for customers.

I went to a Gordon Lightfoot concert where it was in the pit area in Shea´s Theatre in Buffalo. It was fantastic. Unfortunately to get such front row access to a Paul Simon show is over 3x the price.

You know, I hate to sound grumpy but.. I really wasn´t that thrilled with the last couple of Paul concerts I went to. I felt the pacing was not well conceived, just when the crowd started getting into it he´d play something to get them all seated again. Maybe I´ve heard some of these songs too many times, I wasn´t all that taken with another go round of Train In The Distance. I just feel as a performer, he is too split between completely incompatible genres with his rock songs and his slower music. Also, he makes a lot of kind of weird hand motions.

But! I Love the song so beautiful or so what. I think I will save $150 bucks plus and listen to it on the cd.

Hi Grumpy guest-I Love the S*G sound, not so much Paul by himself but I thought he usually put on a good show. But then again, I am not a leap to my feet and bounce around concert goer. However, this time he is quoted as saying that he is playing songs he does not usually play in concert, so I thought I would give it a whirl. And, being of his generation, I think that he will soon hang up his travelling guitar. I do not know if you have a seen a video (I think it might have been a dutch comedian?) of S*G with walkers and acting senile-I figure even if they live to be 100, they will not be going through the stress of touring. So maybe I am seeing these concerts as a last gasp. Certainly I felt that way about the last intended tour of S&G and, that´s what happened-last gasp.

I think you should notice/consider too the audience. We boomers aren´t ´on your feet´ goovin´ types anymore.
There´s a bootleg of a Simon Texas stop (I think): he says well it took you a while to get up! But any concert I´ve been to in the past 10 - 12 yrs. the young/crowd he draws (always happy to see) is up and dancing.

Hi Barb, I am going to Foxwoods and will be seated in row GG on the center aisle. That is one row behind the shaded VIP area. Although I am from NYC and I really wanted to see him at the Beacon, after the struggle to get seats when he played Radio City, I decided to opt for an out of town venue.

I am one of those fans that listens more than dances, being 53. (But my first S&G concert was 44 years ago, so I am a long,long,long,time fan!)

I Love Paul´s solo shows. Paul had always a mix of dance and listening songs in his shows. Look at CP 91, You´re The One in 2000.

I hope there will be a DVD of this tour, with enough songs of SBOSW and some Old songs like "Peace Like A River". He will be 2 nights at The Beacon which is a perfect location for a live concert DVD. We should offer him a petition :)
