HOWARD STERN: Kid Rock talks about his $20 tour & his thoughts on Justin....
About a minute and a half....not sure if entire interview.
Just watching the presale so far, it looks like not enough seats are put aside for fan club members. Bob expects us to pay for years of fan club memberships, yet, we get shut out the nite of the show.
No, no, no.
Check the damn fan club data, you have all the zip codes. Run the numbers and offer seats accordingly. Just about every person here will go see once show near them.
There has to be a better way to do this. Be damned if I pay membership since 2004, yet when the big show rolls into my town, I can't get a seat?
Crazy. Technology has improved, use it and get higher returns for that nite and down the road. Set up a confirmation system.

@ Harley Girl. Bob is coming
@ Harley Girl. Bob is coming to 2 towns in Michigan (so far) - Saginaw and Grand Rapids. I don't know where you live in Michigan, but he is also coming to Toledo, OH, which is just over the Michigan/Ohio border, so that might be close for you. AND, we just have to believe that he will have a party in Detroit this Summer :) I was blessed enough to see Bob at Comerica Park in 2011 just 3 days before my breast cancer surgery/follow up treatments. It was THE BEST night of my life :) We rocked at the Bad Ass street party, walked around downtown Detroit and didn't leave until about 2am! I will never forget that night! Although, I would like to forget the hangover I had the next morning! LOL!
I know I am super excited, I
I know I am super excited, I live not to far from Saginaw, I was lucky enough to go to a after party last time they were at the Dow and met the band members such nice people, I seen them at Comerica Park as well in 2011. As far as my friend. I took a chance and bought tickets when they went on sale to the public but now she may be having surgery again like 3 days before so not sure what I'll do. This poor lady has been through more then I could Image she had both breast removed and part of her chest bone over the last year she been through treatment and several surgeries to rebuild her chest taking skin/tissue from her stomach, she's doing great and this last surgery will be for implants. I was hoping she could go, I've never even met this woman, met her in a on-line cancer support throught the american cancer society an we hit it off, have kept in touch for over a year.
Harley, watching this rollout
Harley, watching this rollout in a very depressed CT. He could get lots more fan club members to go (and bring lots and lots of soon to be fan club members) if he improved the ticket system. Plus folks would credit card confirm ahead of time.
I totally agree, I seen
I totally agree, I seen tickets for sale on the web site for the Fedex Forum in Memphis TN. Before the presale even took place they were all in the presale sections for twice the amount of money, I wanted to buy tickets for a friend I met in a cancer support group She has never got to see them live always been sick when they were in town but I could not cause of the whole paperless issue, Maybe some day I will have to travel there to take her, I live in Michigan so kind of far to travel but totally worth it

Confirmation systems are hard
Confirmation systems are hard to create. Shows are confirmed literally a week before the public onsales, most of the time. They are confirmed and then announced immediately. This is not exceptional to Kid Rock; this is how all big tours work. So, we don't have much time to pull together the presales. And legally, you can't take credit cards, store them, charge them later and take requests. It would be very hard to run a system this way because you'd need to store the credit card info (which we do not, although Ticketmaster does) and pre-authorize the card in advance, then let fans see their reserved ticket. You can see how hard this would be to pull off. When you have an artist as awesome as Kid Rock, even if you know how many members you have in a certain zip code, sometimes you just can't get all the seats you want because of the venue rules. Like in KC, there aren't THAT many seats at the $87 price point, in total. That price level is a portion of the floor in the front. So those went fast, and we couldn't get more than we got.
But hopefully as we go through this process a few more times it will get easier for people.
Posting about this week's presales in another discussion in case some of you don't get the email this week.
Nick, it can be done, others
Nick, it can be done, others do it. Just costs more. But, of all the fan bases out there, Bob has one that could be used to set a new standard. Negotiate a new package with Ticketmaster and the venues. But, I realize that is not TopSpin's job. It's Bob and his management.
