FAN CLUB TICKET OPTIONS FOR SUMMER TOUR:
The fan club ticket limit for the summer tour is going to be 2 tickets per member per show. Please note we do have a limited number of tickets and it is possible that we will sell out of tickets for the show you want to attend. The sooner you can buy tickets after the pre sale begins the better.

We are offering only two levels of tickets, BRONZE and BASIC for the Summer Tour. The fan club is not going to be offering a GOLD package on this tour.

Bronze Ticket
* For a $10 access fee over the face value of the ticket... One ticket in rows 2 - 30.
* Presale offer only. Please check ticket description for specific end date of the ticket offer.
* Tickets sold first come, first served.
* Limited quantities of tickets available.
* 2 Ticket Limit - if purchased together tickets will be seated together
* Internet offer only
* Read ticket description closely for ticket description and details when purchasing

Basic Ticket
* For a $10 access fee over the face value of the ticket... One ticket in the second highest priced area of the venue, further than 30th row from stage.
* Presale offer only. Please check ticket description for specific end date of the ticket offer.

Basic tickets will be in the second level of the venue, generally what is called the Upper Pavilion at the outdoor venues. They are generally the 2nd highest price level tickets. These tickets will be at least 30 rows from the stage. We realize that these are not technically the best tickets in the venue but they are in the better half of the tickets available for the show. These tickets are being offered to make sure as many club members as possible can get tickets to each show. We recommend you buy BRONZE tickets first if they are available and only if they are sold out buy BASIC.

PLEASE NOTE: All shows have a limit on how many tickets we can sell. There will be at least several hundred BRONZE and BASIC tickets available for each show. Once tickets are gone we will not be able to accept any further orders. PAID members are not guaranteed a ticket to any show, only the chance to purchase. There are NO refunds for memberships if you don't end up with tickets, there are many other membership benefits besides ticket access that your $30 membership gives you access to. There are no refunds if you are not satisfied with the quality of your tickets. The ticket description during the purchase process will give you a general idea of what your tickets will be like.
