Members of the Def Leppard Fan Club will get a first shot at tickets for these shows. They will get exclusive access to the I Love All Access VIP packages presales, and get access to presales for ‘regular’ tickets through Ticketmaster (or, in some cases, eTix).
The first presales will take place between WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 9 at 10.00AM (local venue time) and will end 24 hours later, on THURSDAY, JANUARY 10 at 10.00AM. During this period, Fan Club members can log in to the Def Leppard Fan Club site and get their own unique codes, which will give them access to the 24-hour presales on ILoveAllAccess.com and Ticketmaster.com. If you are not a member of the Def Leppard Fan Club yet, you can also buy a Fan Club bundle on Ticketmaster.com, which consists of a Fan Club subscription and concert tickets. The first round of presales is for the following shows:
March 27 – Greensboro Coliseum, Greensboro, NC
March 30 – Germain Arena, Estero, FL
April 3 – Sovereign Arena, Reading, PA
April 8 – Mohegan Sun Arena, Uncasville, CT
April 11 – Colisee Pepsi Arena, Quebec City, QC
April 16 – MTS Centre, Winnipeg, MB
April 18 – Van Andel Arena, Grand Rapids, MI
April 19 – Joe Louis Arena, Detroit, MI
These shows will go on sale to the general public on Friday and Saturday (depending on the show). Furthermore, the Quebec City show presale tickets will be handled by eTix.com. There is a limit of four tickets you can buy during the presale. If you were a member of the Fan Club last year and you bought tickets for the band’s 2007 tour, these do NOT add up to your total — everyone’s ticket count is reset.
