Thy priest dont seem to be selling out any venues that i have searched with the over pricing,izod center has many tickets around! The service fee is a bit hi the higher your ticket the higher the fee that is f>>>>ng bullshit why does a higher price ticket take more to process!  Nothing close to VA. LOL Better Kneel and Bob

Yeah, I read their fine print - no guarantee you get the right password.  What a rip.  Oh well, I'm seeing Priest center stage in Row 11.  Still can't believe I guessed the right code after about 20 tries.  Oct 16 can't get here fast enough!

That's it!!!!!!!!!!!

[Demonizer13] Friday, June 24, 2011 10:34:19 AM 
You should ask for your $10 back since they gave you the wrong password! (I don't know what it is either, but if I find it, I will post it!)

 what is the presale password?
[medievaltexan] Friday, June 24, 2011 10:14:02 AM 
 So glad I didn't pay the $10. What a bummer, no one knows the password? I see the scalper sites already have them....

No dice.  I even paid $10 to presalepasswordinfo.com and they said it was VOICE too.  Aargh!

I was at 332.50 for calgary, all taxes and the insane fee of $2.50 per ticket to print your own.  WTF!!

if not for the mail strike I would have them mailed.  but to pay to use my own printer???

vancouver, 2 tix all taxes in , including the fact that i fed exed$($14) them due to a mail strike and insurance ($16) was $195
[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Sunday, June 19, 2011 11:53:54 AM 
Those are all Ticket Broker prices that Ticketmaster has already sold tickets to. THAT is the very sad reality of this situation - Ticket master is selling premium seats to Ticket Brokers that are charging, from what I have now seen, up to X 10 the face value. Many fans have decided not to go due to high ticket prices, not realizing that those prices aren't the actual ticket price!  And yes, JP management should be blamed for allowing this to happen. The Dallas tickets are not on sale at TicketMaster yet, so those prices you quoted are NOT face value prices. Tickets go on sale June 25th at 10am according to the Allen Events Center site. They are still not up on Ticket Master yet. I bet the highest price ticket is around $100.


KEEP THE FAITH!!

Ticketmaster has not even listed this show on it's site yet. The prices will be reasonable when they do. When it does post, I will send you the presale pass word within a day or two of it's presale date, if you remind me.

Minor correciton to my last post!   Ticket Prices  $157-$311, not $113


sorry

[TejasTony] Sunday, June 19, 2011 3:50:18 AM 
Well, it is now June 19, 2011, and I have checked multiple ticket sites for Priest Tickets for the Allen, TX show for Oct 16.   "ALL" prices are $157-$113 per ticket.   So it looks like my brother and I will not be going to see Judas Priest on their last show in this area.  I 1st saw Priest on the Screaming for Vengeance tour and only have missed one Priest show that I know of.   Now at the age of 50, I am really disappointed in the way these ticket vendors are keeping the loyal fans from being able to see our favorite bands who come to town and perform for us.   Nowadays, great bands that tour are few and far between.  Judas Preist if my favorite band and I like "ALL" of their songs, even the Ripper years.  Just wish there was a way to get this info to Priest Management and let them know about these prices, assuming they don't already know.

I will still keep being a fan of Judas Priest and wait for new CDs in the future.

"Keep The Faith"

 I'm not a troll. You're the one with issues. I was pointing out to you that the prices of the tickets weren't so bad after all but because you have issues, you see trolls where there are none.

San Antonio tix went up on TicketMaster, presale starts June 17. Tickets after all the taxes and fees are: $40.48 - $92.97.  Quite a lot less than the asshole Ticket Brokers are charging! Good luck! I hope you get good seats

Dallas show is still not there yet..... maybe next week.

The seat prices in San Antonio are only from the second party ticket vendors.  The floor configuration is General Admission!!!!!! The tickets prices for general admission ranges $273-323!!   No way I am paying that much for a GA ticket.   The lower levels are going from approx $500-922.00.  Cheapest nosebleeds are around $100.00.    I called the AT&T center and they couldn't tell me anything regarding the official ticket sale date which is supposed to be June 17th.        I usually get my tix from StubHub,Livenation,Ticketmaster and none of them have any listing for the San Antonio show AT ALL!!!  WTH!!!      San Antonio is their opening night of US tour but this is ridiculous.   I expect once official sales start there will be some better prices and I'll check back but in the meantime, I bought tix for Corpus Christi, TX for front row center for less than the San Antonio GA tix.        I haven't missed one show since I saw Priest in 81 in SA,TX and have NEVER had this kind of problem.       I located the production company that is handling this show and am not familiar with them.    Good luck San Antonio fans and let's pray the prices get better or there won't be anyone there.

Yep the are price gouging us and the handling charge for the meadowlands was about 80 dollars i wont pay 200 a ticket for top row seats!
[HOT ROCKIN' METAL GODDESS] Tuesday, June 14, 2011 12:49:37 AM 
I have my eye on the Dallas show as well because I am going to fly down there to go to see it with my brothers friend. He and my brother took me to my very first Priest show in '86. Pretty cool of them to take a 16 year old girl along and I've never forgotten it. I wouldn't trust anything until you see it at TicketMaster. Half of the confirmed dates are not even up on TicketMaster yet but all are being sold by scalpers. We have been complaining about the scalping going on at all venues because TicketMaster has sold blocks of good seats to the ticket brokers rather than making them available to the fans first as they should be doing. All the tickets that I have seen for this tour so far on TicketMaster are under $100. I'm sure Dallas will be the same, most likely prices like Corpus Christi (already on sale). I do hope that Priest finds out about this and stops this from happening in the future, if there is a second leg of the tour. Keep checking TicketMaster and I bet it will show up soon. Good luck in landing some great seats!

The ticket price is from the venue itself and Ticketmaster is not listing Priest for Allen, TX venue for some reason. 

Seeing the price of these tickets is almost making literally sick.     It has been difficult in past to get to see Judas Priest as certain venues due to being in wheelchair and outdood venues, which the Allen ons isn't, can make me physically sick, since I cannot sweat due to heat.  

I am not trying to get Priest to get me Free Tickets, just to inform them that they may not be aware that some Venues may be charging "WAY" more than the tickets may be worth.   I love Priest, but $165/ticket is way too much for ANY band.

I guess if they do charge that price, I will just have to hope they make a DVD of the tour and then get that.

Sincerely

Devoted Priest Fan

Tony

that may not be the best way to get tix.  might be a reseller.  they seem to be pre selling stuff prior to tix going on sale.  check ticketmaster, they might not have started the sale.  they only just gave a date for the calgary show tix on sale date and the show was announced a while ago.

My brother and I are very big Judas Priest fans and have been following Priest since the early '80s and been to most of their shows when they have come through Dallas/Fort Worth area.  However, we may end up missing the Epitaph tour due to the outrageous ticket prices the Allen Event Center is charging.   The lowest price per ticket is $165.00.  I don't know about most Priest fans, but my brother and I don't have that kind of money to see Priest on their final tour, which we were highly hoping to see.   Below is the link to the venue's ticket prices.  If they are charging more than they are suppose to, I hope Priest can do something about it.   Because I feel the show in Allen may get canelled due to too high ticket prices.

Hope to see Judas Priest in Allen, TX.
