Yup, you're very helpful. Too bad I already spent tons of money in Ticketmaster charges.

Tickets went onsale here in Nashville on a Saturday and the TPAC box office is closed, so I decided to spend the extra $6 to make sure I got my ticket, and purchased it at a ticketmaster outlet.
I wasn't really worried it'd be sold out, I just like to get them in hand the first day of sale. Great of you to post this info though Moshe, thanks.

Moshe, are you really going to make me drive up all the way to Oakland to see SY? No Southern Cali shows? This can't be true.
