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

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.
