I’m looking for a miracle here.

As I’m sure most of you know, PT is releasing a new album in June and is doing a small US tour in September. They aren’t coming to KC, so when tickets went on sale, I bought 3 pairs of tickets in 2 different cities (Chicago and Denver) as we weren’t sure where we wanted to go. I only did this because I assumed I’d have no problem flipping them for face given their rabid fan base and the fact it’s been 12 years since they toured. Well, looks like I was wrong.

A combination of high ticket prices, and the fact they are playing in venues twice the size that they used to has led to me not be able to move these on the fan sites that I’ve visited. There are still plenty of tickets to be had at the box office, but none as good as my seats at their price level. This is what I have:

*Sold* Chicago (Auditorium Theater) September 20: sec. DRS-R, row CC, seats 108-109. Price is $227 + $49.27 in fees for $276.27 total.

Denver (Bellco) September 25: sec. Orc 3, row 303, seats 311-312. Price is $307 + $63.90 in fees for $370.90 total.

The Denver seats are pretty damn good. Like 15 rows back and near the center. The Chicago seats are further back but still 1st level. I’m confident that I’ll be able to get rid of them by the time the shows roll around, but I really don’t want to hold on to $650 worth of tickets until then.

Again, I know this is a long shot, but I’ve seen stranger things happen here.

Edit: Chicago tickets have sold. Denver tickets still available.

He’s actually a dancehall artist. It’s like Jamaican club music. You may not be too into it as there’s lots of Patwa to decipher. But I’ll give you 3 you may or may not vibe to.

Before I stop the hijacking of your thread I’ll leave a few newer reggae songs you may like if Vybz isn’t your thing. These are more in line with Marley than Vybz.

Also checked out some PT songs and they’re really good. Lazarus, and Blackest Eyes are ****ing jams!!!

Well, the silence from my PT bud indicates he is not interested. I'll ask one more time. Move the tix if you can; not that you were holding them.

No worries. Let me know if anything changes as I doubt they’ll move anytime soon.

The Chicago tickets have sold. I know a few folks were toying with the Denver show and those are still available.
