Loge19 Row J which is pretty good (and not in the balcony). Except I know these seats were available on TicketMaster for $50 so I'm kicking myself for putting it off. So the scalpers made an almost 200% profit while Dave only gets a portion of the $50...I can't believe that's legal but I don't know if they'll ever figure out a way to fix the system....

Row 18, almost symmetrical to your seat.

As for the reselling, this is what Gilmour's website is stating:

[quote=DavidGilmour.com]Even for the non-London shows, anyone who is thinking of buying tickets from eBay for any venue from now on should be very wary indeed.

We have also received emails and messages from people asking how to get rid of unwanted tickets without resorting to eBay type sales. In this situation the best option is to return the tickets to the point of sale. We will continue to focus on ticket issues which have raised concerns, so please bear with us[/quote]

Cool...yeah I'm just over here in Monrovia :) Hoping to move closer soon.

Maybe I did get a good price...I was sure those seats were $50 but maybe they were the ones a little further back...all the seating charts end up being a blur after awhile :)

Could you imagine if Gilmour had to play to an empty hall, because most of the tickets were sold on ebay?
