My husband and I were separated at the time and this concert changed our lives, we are back together working things out. The night was perfect and you were truly awesome, thanks Sammy Hagar. I will quote you "Words have power. They work. That's why poetry can affect people. That's why music and lyrics and songs affect people, and that's why chants and prayers and affirmations and all those various things affect the frame of mind."
Hey Sammy,
I guess when I see you in Cabo at the Oct 9th show, I can get my signed shirt. You signed my shit in Chi town during the show, placed it on the drum riser..... and I never got it back. I'm sure you will remember me, I was the one at the beginning of the show that you saw and said, Holy Crap... Tugged your goatee and hair when you looked in the so to speak mirror. Great show, see you in Cabo..
Openers were a band called Rival Sons.The guest was Jim Peterik who co wrote Heavy Metal and numerous other songs for many groups of the 1980's.He was also the lead singer,guitarist for Ides of March and keyboard player in Survivor.
I took a friends 9 year old son to this show.He begged to go because he is a big Chickenfoot fan and now he's a TRUE REDHEAD too.This was his very first concert and I can't think of anyone better fir that.HE had a GREAT time.
Opening act Rival Sons are stars in the making! Great choice in picking them!
Rival Sons
Jim Peterik - Survivor and co-Author of Heavy Metal

Do you stil have them? If so I will buy them. contact me via email: db3dan@gmail.com
Hi. I ended up with 2 extra seats for this show located here: Section 102 (Mike's side), Row G, Seats 7 & 8. Selling at face value: $150 each x 2 ($300). I'd rather see a redhead get these than sell them on StubHub. Contact me if interested.
I still have 2 tix... sect 105 row L... flabowlr@yahoo.com

There's only one way to rock, with Sammy in Chicago! We'll all have some of that!
I have 2 tickets in Section 103 (center), Row B. Looking to get face value for them. $370 per ticket. Let me know if interested.
Thanks
Still have the 2 3rd row seats, section 104, face value, $340.00 each.
Let me know if you're interested!
Sold to Sammy's twin bro!
Thanks looking forward to a great night with Sammy and the gang!!!
Get on that bad motor scooter and drive to space station #5
Hi,
Yes I sent you an email.
Let me know as soon as possible.
do you still have tickets for sale and if you do how much and where do i go to get them email me akfrank@ilstu.edu
do you still have tickets for sale and if you do how much and where do i go to get them
I got my Chi-town tix!!! (I hope my Monsters of Rock T-shirt still fits)
rock on!!!! I got my tix for Chi-town... I hope my Monsters of Rock T-shirt still fits ;)
I had the same problems getting tickets this morning.
But after about 40 minutes I got the tickets I originally wanted. Imagine that!!
So I have 2 sets of tickets.
I am will to see the 1 set of tickets, section 104 3rd row (C) seats 3 and 4 for face value. These are right in front of the stage.
Let me know if anyone is interested.
So, like how do you explain the mess @ the STL show ticket sales where "Premium seats" were first posted @ $275 & I couldn't get to them (error message said that they were only on sale by phone, which was total BS), then they were reposted @ a higher price. I wasted valuable time trying to secure these tics & wound up buying tics just so I could get into the show...I couldn't afford the $395 seats...When I contacted LN, they said that the promoter & artist set the prices. This was supposed to be a Birthday celebration for my Wife (Birthday & also our Wedding Anniversary both on Aug. 31st) We will still be celebrating, but it won't be as special as it could have been...............................
On another note, Tickets Now is a Ticketmaster "company" & they also have the scalped seats....
I don't expect a response, it is what it is & we'll just have to make the best of it,
Peace
I had same issue connecting... didnt get on the site (livenation) until almost 10 after the but got 3 seats in section 105 (row L 10th row?). I got 3 in case my wife and friend want to go. looks like she may not want to go. I may have 2 tix to sell. NOT SCALPING THEM. I am a Redhead and have seen Sammy all over the country - Cabo, Tahoe, backstage, on-stage maniac, etc. I will know in a day or so if the tix are for sale... I am going to the show, so just selling the extras.

Heading to Chi-town from sunny Florida in August for the 4-decades show!! Aisle seats, close enough to the stage to make the trip worthwhile - just hoping for a couple hour set, not a 90-minute one! ROCK ON!!
All of the good tickets were taken by these scalpers and brokers that have computer programs to acquire tickets. These programs are no different than somebody cutting in line. This has become the norm for ALL events. They get the good seats and then double their money on StubHub. It's absolute crap!!! I didn't even try for the "good" ones. Section 207 for me and my crew. Can't wait!!
How/when will we be able to get the download of the new cd?

Livenation sucks, went in and could only get section 206, went in second time and actually got better seats, but I go on charterone site and there are section 100 seats open all over....wtf? Just happy Im in and will be partying with Sammy!!!!!!!!
rjn995 - $152 is the highest tier ticket available. looking at the ticketing page, they range from $36 up to $126 (plus the ticketmaster fees/taxes).
Sorry to anyone who failed to get tickets that they were hoping for and are frustrated at seeing them show up on stubhub at crazy prices -- this is something that any musician is also just as frustrated by and Sammy is always looking for ways to keep ticket prices down and get into the hands of the true Redheads! Please know that we are always discussing with the ticketing agents how we can make sure we are doing everything we can to make it a better experience for you!
Just grabbed 2 from Live Nation, Section 104 - great seats including an end closest to center aisle. Can't wait for August!
Live Nation blows. First 3 tries exactly at 10:00,10:01,etc.. for 2)for $126 tickets, NOTHING GO BACK.Then tried 2 for best available,section 206,$60.50.Hmmm,clock ticking. Tried again. Got 2 in 102,$80.50. Man, keep trying. Not gonna bitch but same thing happened with another act where I had a STUBHUB tab open and tickets were already available.
Where did the best tickets go in less than 5 seconds?
Anyway,Not Sam's fault but he'd be pissed,I'd think,if he knew this crap was happening.Scalpers( NON FUCKING FANS ) must have figured out the system.
Lets rock the lakefront!!!!
Yep!! Just checked STUBHUB. On there already.WTF!!!
Missed Sammy last year, got tickets for Charter One. Pam and I can't wait. It will be a blast to celebrate four decades of Rock and Roll!!
I'm in! was only able to get a pair in the 200 section...could only find single seats in the 100 section.
