Tickets for the new shows go on sale Thursday May 25 at 10:00 am local venue time

I am SO excited about the tour!! :bliss:

They are coming three days after my b-day on July 13th!! I saw some of the ticket prices though and I fainted!! I gotta see Ace!!!!

LuvU, what are ticket prices running? And are they listed on TicketMaster yet?

The tickets for Chicago go on sale May 20th. some of the other venues were aroiund the same time too. I think AI has the dates the tickets go on sale.

As for price I think it depends on were u want to sit. Brokers are charging anywhere from 80 to 300.00.

i'm hoping to go one of the MA ones are the GA ones. since i will be in Boston during the summer i might go to that one.

my mama told me that i can go to the Philly one so i am veeerrrrrry excited! i stated saving money for the concert on my birthday so right now i have 120 dollars!! I am whilling to pay whatever to see Ace and meet him!

Last year at the Philly concert the tickets were only 50 dollars. im not sure what they will be this time though.

im either going to the Philly or Hershey one..mayb both..or all the PA ones :yahoo:

Thats awesome acefan42!! im trying to convince my mom to let me go to another one but i dont think she'll let me ..... maybe we'll end up meeting up and screaming for Ace!

Do you plan on staying after the concert to try to meet him at the busses?? I do, so if you hear someone yelling extremely loud for Ace, it might be me. haha

i plan on staying at the busses!!! whats your name laura?? i guessed by your username lol! im karrie.

mayb i will see you there! im not sure wheter to definately go to the philly one or hershey

whoops read your post wrong ..... haha. I have never been to a concert at Hershey so i dont know how their seating works. I know Wachovia is pretty good. even if you get 200 seats, there still pretty good if you can take steep places.

awesome and thanks!!!!!!

im deciding one which to definately go to. i use to go to the Reading, PA one every year, but they arent going there this year. So I have to pick another PA location

ive been to the wachovia for various sixers games since i live in PA. but ive never been to a concert there..
did u have good seats? did u meet anyone besides Anthony?

i had ok seats. Its better to get seats closer to the stage of course but they have those big screens.

I met Anthony and Scott ...... Constantine completely ignored me and gave me an evil look when i asked him to sign my pants ...... then i got a wave from Bo and Jessica. Jess was mainly going to all the younger kids and meeting them and then they told her she had to go like 1 person before me.

when i went to the reading tour i met Carrie/Constantine...it was soo easy to meet them..no fence.

it was really easy. If they dont come out i just asked other contestants and security guards to go get them. Thats why Anthony came out. my friend Megan asked Connie and a security guard and i asked Jess and Scott. then he came out with the Security guard. It never hurts to ask.

im really sad they arent coming to reading since i love going there..i will probably go to hershey though..for something new now

my friend Nicole is going to Hershey but shes a huge Kellie fan.

I wonder what his color is going to be. Im ready to go out and buy some cute clothes in his color!

where did you guys get your tickets?

the tickets aren't on sale yet. The go on sale between the 19th-21st. I posted it below. just look at the date at the end and you will tell when yours go on sale.

no like do you buy them online or ticketmaster... what is the fastest and how much did you pay before

The cheapest tickets for my area show (at Continental Airlines Arena) is $165!!

ooohh, i get mine of Ticketmaster but the shows aren't listed yet. I guess the price varys. Last year for Wachovia they were 50 dollars.

ahh can't wait <3 going to the MA one. hopefully i'll meet ace. :(

how do you know how much your tickets cost already??

I think that we should all get beanies and either wear them or stick them in our back pocket like Ace, so then we will all know whose an Ace fan from here. That just might be me thinking crazy but i dont know ... i know im buying a beanie.

Whoa, seriously???? Who care's, Ace is so worth it!! That what a credit card is for right? :P

haha especaially your parents credit card! haha

ughh.
i have to wait until August 1st to see him?!?!?!

i don't think i can...

I'm going to two. :) The one on August 12th,which is also my birthday! :)
and the one on August 19th. I'm so excited.

The concert in Washington DC, the tickets range from 32 dollars to 72 dollars .... thats atleast what i think it said.

I can't wait till the tour this year! I'm going to the Milwaukee or the Minneapolis one. Not sure yet! Last year I met Constantine, Vonzell, and Nadia. They r all so nice!

:bliss:

How many days until July 11th?

I can't wait for the tour! I think I might be going to 5 of the shows since they are all so close to Maryland!! :bliss:

Anyone from SW Fl here?

[FONT=Impact][SIZE=7][COLOR=#FF69B4][B]Hey, I'm still getting used to the site so sorry if I goof, I am trying to get a hold of ANYbody who's hitting Up the tour in CHicago, perioria sp?, Milwaukee and Minnie! I'm going to all 4 and am working on backstage passes, talking with some on pitching tents but I'm willing to get a room in Milwaukee at the Hilton, I've stayed there alot and its nice so yea, I have 2 ppl I think that are doing up Chicago and Minnesota so far but no one for Milwaukee, I reallllllllllly don't wanna go alone and my friends think my thang for Ace is over the top and yea so they are outta the question. Please anybody who wants to go let me know!!!!!

This will be my first time going to an AI concert, should I get to either of the Ohio shows. I just checked ticketmaster.com and both venues don't have anything listed for prices yet. Last year, the Cleveland show was around $47.50 if I remember right. I can't afford to pay anything higher than $60, really.

Anyone from Ohio going to either of these shows? :)

I'll have be going to the DC show!! Any other Ace fans going? I really hope to meet Ace!!!

Any tips on how some of you met last year's contestants?? I didn't go last year...wasn't a big fan until Ace. I would of loved to have met Constantine. He seems soo cool!!!

They'd better add a Colorado date ASAP, or else it's a real slap in the face to Ace. :(

I know because they told him it was definitely going to stop in his homestate. The fact that so much money was raised bc of him should stand for something come on.
