I think myself and a few family members are going to get tickets and head down. Maybe some of you ticket pros can answer some questions. We'd like to get some tickets mid field, between the 40's either lower or upper deck is fine. Any thing we should know about those spots? Should be buy tickets now or wait to see if price drops through the week? Who do you normally get them through, ticketmaster, stubhub, ticketsforless, etc? Cool stuff to see on Saturday around town? Best places to eat?
When does tailgating open up normally? I'd like to swing by for some tailgating if anyone is open to 3 adults and two older teenage kids being around. I'd gladly bring beer, etc. Would be nice to meet some people.
Good hotels near arrowhead? Either walking distance or a short drive is fine. [Reply]
Good luck. I hate playing that game, because I'll wait too long after seeing a pair, thinking there will be a better deal, then regret it when they disappear... and then start the whole cycle over again. :-) Overall though, I'd say Thurs/Fri/Sat would be the sweet spot unless you buy at face value, and it's completely random when they're released and they go fast.
And to your other question, I personally just stick with the assholes at TicketMaster these days.... stubhub got worse and worse until their fees were just as bad or worse than TM, plus you know they're legit. Some people seem to swear by Tickets For Less, but I've never seen a great deal on there and usually don't even see that good of tickets... usually nosebleed corners, but YMMV. [Reply]
