Farewell I
2004 Eagles Tour
FAQ

When any tour is announced, we usually get a ton of e-mails from people asking question about dates, tickets, venues and all sorts of other things. We wanted to make it easier for you to find the answers to your questions (because we sometimes aren't the most prompt at answering e-mails). That' the purpose of this FAQ. If you read through this and still can't find the answer to your question, send us an e-mail.

1.  Before Tickets Go On Sale

1.1 What cities are the Eagles visiting?

A complete list of tour dates is listed on our 2004 tour page. These are the only cities that we know about now.

1.2 Will more dates be added? Will they come to my city or country?

The band is currently planning a tour of Asia and Australia. These are the only dates out there right now. We don't know what their future plans are.

1.3 Why aren't they coming to my city?

The band seems to be playing places they haven't played in a while. If they were just in your city in the last few years, you may have to wait for the album to be released before they visit again. As far as NYC goes, Irving Azoff has said that the band doesn't like to play NYC because it's very expensive for the band and that the audiences are not very receptive.

1.4 Do I need to join the official club to get good seats?

You do not need to join the official club to get good seats. The club makes the process of getting good seats a little less stressful, but you don't have to. If you like to talk with other fans, order exclusive merchandise or check out the cool videos and photos then you may want to join.

1.5 What is a presale? Are there any limitations?

The official club allows members to buy tickets during a period of time before tickets go on sale to the general public. Tickets are available in all price brackets. You can get very good seats in the pre-sale. Club members may purchase only 4 presale tickets for this leg of the tour. If you purchased presale tickets in 2003, you are still entitled to 4 for this leg of the tour.

1.6 How can I prepare to get tickets the day they get on sale?

Know who is handling the sale. For Australia, Ticketek is handling the sales.  S  If you are buying on the Internet, bookmark the ticket-buying page. Print out a copy of the seating chart and decide where you would like your tickets to be (for example, if you like Joe, write down which sections are on his side). That way, when you are offered seats, you know exactly where they will be and you can make a decision about them.

2.  Buying Tickets

2.1 Is there a "best" way to get tickets (phone, in person, Internet)?

It's really a matter of personal preference. There's really no advantage to any of the methods. We prefer the Internet because you have complete control over which tickets you eventually get.

2.2 How do I buy tickets if I'm using the pre-sale?

The official site has done a really good job of explaining this. Read the text on the side of their tour page. Just remember to WRITE DOWN YOUR PASSWORD!

2.3 How can I ensure I get the seats I want during the sale?

You may not get the exact seat you want (not everyone can sit on the front row), but you can get a seat you like if you just make sure to check the seating chart. So many people buy tickets without checking this out first. If you are online, you can also throw back tickets until you get something you like. Don't be afraid to do that.

2.4 What is Will-Call?

Will-Call is located at the venue. If you order your seats close to the day of the show, you may have to pick them up there. Just bring your ID and the credit card you used to make the purchase.

2.5 I've heard the band releases better seats closer to the date of the
      show. Should I wait for that? If I do that, how do I get the best seats?

We wish there was a formula to calculate when/if good seats were going to be released. We don't recommend waiting for that. If you can get seats you are happy with, take them. There are no guarantees for getting "front row at the last minute". If you want to try, you just have to be patient and check almost obsessively and still it may not pay off.

2.6 Should I just buy seats from a broker?

You could. The presale, though, has pretty much kept the best seats out of the hands of brokers. If you do plan on buying broker seats, though, make sure you know your seating chart! A seat may be in the first row, but it may be WAAAAY off to the side.

3. Going to the show

3.1 Can I buy or get a backstage pass?

No. The only guaranteed way to get to meet a member is to join the Joe Walsh fan club and then hope they schedule a meet and greet.

3.2 It's my (birthday...anniversary...special occasion) or I'm going to
       propose to my girlfriend at the show. Could the band announce it from
      the stage?

It's been our experience that the band doesn't do this. The set-list and even the jokes are kept to pretty tightly.

3.3 Does the band take requests?

See Above.

3.4 Can I hang out and meet the band after the show?

The band practices something they call the "quick out". By the time the house-lights go up, the band has already left the building.

3.5 I have something I want to give to the band, how do I do it?

If you have something to give to the band, give it to one of their security (usually wearing a laminate pass and a black shirt) not one of the local ushers.

3.5 Will there be an opening act? What about an intermission?

No. The Eagles will take the stage usually about 15 minutes after the time on your ticket says the show starts. In the past there has been a 15-20 minute intermission. Make sure you are back in your seat in time.

4. After the show

4.1 I want to tell everyone about what a great time I had. How do I do
       that?

Type up your review and e-mail it to us. We'll post it on the site.
