I'm not saying any of this to offend, but, just as a word of warning. It would be great if we could be certain that only fans of Tom Jones read certain websites and forums. But, alas, it is not always the case. From personal experience, I would strongly suggest that giving out personal information such as the seat you will be occupying at a show is not really a good idea. All folks reading this site now know your name and where you will be seated! I know we trusting souls don't think like maniacs, but they are out there and could be reading information that gives them your name and they then can become a "familiar fan." I know that the fans that post on this site are not of that ilk, but ANYONE can read these postings. Again, I speak from personal experience. Please be safe!! And, have a great time with our Sir Tom!!</p> Dear Moderators - very good point. I’m not saying any of this to offend, but, just as a word of warning.

Some of you may have noticed your messages about meeting in AC were deleted. It is our policy not to post this kind of thing because there’s no security that would prevent anyone from reading this. We just never know who’s lurking out there.

Since we don’t have a private messaging function on this site, if any of you want to get in touch with each other to plan a meeting, just drop a note to Ellen using the link at right and we’ll send you the email addresses after we check with the person you wish to reach to see that it’s OK to do so.

We hope you understand we do this for safety reasons and because we believe “better safe than sorry.”

Thanks.

I went on line to TicketMaster at 9:00 a.m. (11:00 eastern time). As soon as 10:00 a.m. came, I got through to the place to order, I ordered best available on Friday night and got section 104, row 30, seat 1, that's the last row...best available, HA. Then I went on to order my seat for Saturday, again best available, I got section 103, (middle section) row 24, seat 4. Best available??????? unless you are rich and can afford those outrageous prices. It is legalized scalping (robbery)! The tickets I bought were the $60.50 seats. I think there should be some National legislation.</p> I was in Colorado when the tickets to the Taj Mahal went on sale. I went on line to TicketMaster at 9:00 a.m. (11:00 eastern time).

Tickets in Section 101 were $40 on Ticketmaster last night if you put in 1 as a quantity.</p> Carol…did people move down to the front after he started when you saw him at the Arena at the Taj or was it full?

I couldn't get into the Taj to stay but I did get into the Trump Plaza at a reasonable rate. I am soooo looking forward to this performance. I hope Tom is ready for us!!!

That's not good enough for me. And as much as I love this MAN I will not pay $975 for a seat with some of the ticket brokers. So I researched all the ticket brokers and went with Ticketmaster's new company called "Tickets Now". They are on the up-and -up and I got good seats for $112 each - Section 102 - Row 8 - next to center. There is nothing like buying tickets at the MGM though- you call their box office and I, once again, got front row seats for 3 nights (and 1 night to see Cher at Caesar's). I've seen the Arena at the Taj and it is ENORMOUS! But his voice will surely fill it. Enjoy everyone !!!!</p> I tried to get tickets for this venue through Ticketmaster the day that went on sale and all they offered me was the 29th or 30th row. That’s not good enough for me.

Are people really paying those prices or is that just what the scalpers would like them to pay? Is this his first time at this venue?</p> This makes no sense to me …how many people are they realistically expecting, not over 5,000?!?
