Did some checking from just one of many companies that buy up what they consider "the best seats in the house". I have gotten "sold out" tickets in this manner myself. Again this is just one of such groups..the tickets you can never get unless you deal directly with these groups.
ticketsnow.com I found 35 seats available thru just this one company for the May 1, 2003 show alone. Are many more 'dealers' out there that buy blocks up to sell. So when they say "sold out" it is not entirely accurate.
Gee, why does that not surprise me.
Checked this site for Atlanta concert in August. There are 330 tickets for this concert available on this site alone. Found 316 available at another website.
