Crowdsurge
-
Hey fellow board members- In anticipation of an upcoming tour, I went to test my login on crowdsurge and was redirected to www.songkick.com Has anyone else experienced this? Was Crowdsurge gobbled up by this songkick company? Is Paul even using Crowdsurge anymore for the presales?

Looks like it was 50/50 merger but Songkick was kept as the name. There's an interesting tidbit regarding number of tickets available, which would explain some of the limited presales: "The number of tickets Songkick can sell will vary by country. Crowdsurge sells artists' allocation of tickets. Allocations are high in the United Kingdom, where the ticketing market is more open, but lower in the United States, where venues' exclusive contacts with ticketing companies usually keep artists' allocations between 8 and 10 percent of total tickets."

So for VIP presales tomorrow, do we just buy through TicketMaster?

Looks like all the presales tomorrow are via Ticketmaster, including the "fan club" ones from this site.

Is there any way to know the vip prices before hand? I can't find any info.

I am guessing the same as the last tour: $2,000 for Front Row; $1,500 for Hot Sound; and the non-soundcheck Gold are usually $600-ish and the Silver are $400-ish.
