Sleeping Beauties Book Tour

[webstar1000]

I am going. Whether I get one book or two. There is two couples and two events. Not bad odds. lol The other info should come sooooooooon by the looks of it!

[C1TIZEN_X]

400 out of 2,400.....ouch.

Yeah, the odds are not good at all. But since a signed copy will probably be in the $200 range, $32.50 for a ticket to see them is still well worth it.

Which got me to thinking. Would you guys pay $200 for the event with a guaranteed signed book limited to 400 folks per venue? Unless you live in the immediate area of an event; your cost will substantially more than $32.50.

I would probably consider going that route to get a signed copy. The only problem I see is the chance of actually getting a ticket would be substantially reduced if they only released 400 vs. 2,000+.

However, If the price for tickets to the Sarasota show is $32.50 like Milwaukee I'll take the whole family of four and increase my chances. Of course, I don't know how many tickets they are selling for that city yet so the odds may be worse than Milwaukee. I wish they would just release all of the sites' information at the same time

The closest location to me is Portland, and that's still a stretch to get to since it's the middle of the week. Waiting for more details for that venue.

[Kingfan24]

Looks like I'll be heading to Boston!

[dnemec]

Looks like I'm going to be relying on the kindness of board members. Again. But NEXT year, I will hopefully be living in the northeast...

[Kingfan24]

Will be interesting to see how many tickets are sold for Boston. It's in a church.

[tippy4]

I believe capacity is 700 seats

[surly]

If it is 700, I like those odds a lot better so I bought a ticket just in case. I like Boston a lot and would be disappointed if I didn't get a signed copy but it will still be a nice getaway, so no real downside.

[cymru3]

Just bought my ticket for the Boston/Newton event. I've never been and have always wanted to...very excited!

[cit74]

just bought my 2 for Boston - we already had tickets for a wedding and fly into hartford CT that morning - only a 2 hour drive

[cit74]

And just created my wife's account so I bought 2 more tickets - heck already flying the whole family out that way. SO we will be spending the day in Boston and cannot wait to meet up with whomever is making the trek. The Tarter can will be there (just like Reno)

[Kingfan24]

I will see you all there - chad let me know if you would like to meet up pre-event.

Sounds good - I am guessing last 3 digits on ticket numbers were how many actually sold. My initial pair we xxxx4021 and xxxx4022 then 20 minutes later the next two were xxxx4168 and xxxx4169

Will get everyones contact numbers before the event. We get into Hartford at 1030 that morning and will just take a nice drive closer to the event

[Heather19]

Do we know where the Boston area one is being held yet? I'm hoping I can get tickets to go to that one.

Woohoo! Just got my tickets. Thanks!

If that's the case then I'm VERY glad I checked this thread as soon as I got in from work. Mine is #602.

[tippy4]

At one King event (Revival) I went to, there was an "overflow room" where some of the attendees were forced to watch King on a monitor.

In theory, they could sell 800 tickets in MA, and put 100 people into another room and pipe in the audio and video......and they would never actually see the Kings.

Hopefully this will not be the case with any of the venues on this tour.

[Randall Flagg]

I have #7**, 7**, 7**, 7**, 7**, 7**, 7**, 7**, 7**, and 7**...

All are +1 tix.

[tippy4]

So you bought five pairs of tickets?

If the number theory above holds up, they are down to less than 100 tickets.

[Randall Flagg]

So you bought five pairs of tickets?

No. 10 +1's

[Kingfan24]

You heading out to Boston jerome?

[Lookwhoitis]

i've been super busy and not able to check the boards as much lately. can someone who knows please pm me in advance of when the Sarasota tickets goes on sale or kindly sell me an extra?

i always seem to be working a multi day show, on the road, or broke when these events kick off and usually i am not paying attention to when they onsale.

thanks

BOSTON SOLD OUT

[Merlin1958]

Fwiw, you guys always get nervous and despondent about chances of getting a signed book before going into these things and then, more times than not, you folks somehow end up scoring. Go, have a good time, meet up with friends and have a good meal. Then see what comes of it all. I'll bet you will not regret it in the end. JMHO

[cit74]

BOSTON SOLD OUT

Guess that was still pretty quick - for a short notice and hardly any advertisement - accept of course on here and stephen king.com
Just gotta say one more reason why I enjoy tdt and I am glad I was off today and was able to check in during the day - now I can sit back and relax - good luck to everyone else getting details and tickets to their venues
