Poison (along with all the chart topping hair bands from the 80's) do not fall into the same category. They have a proven track record of shows here in Atlanta that dates back two decades. They have mainstream recognition as opposed to cult status. Plus, "Rock of Love" is an undeniable ratings bonaza and only enhances that status.
Priest and the gang have nothing going for them except for a few rockumentaries on VH-1 Classic. Ticket sales in other areas of the country simply aren't enough to convince the "corporation" to take a chance on a historically weak market for traditional metal.
Presale
Where did you get this presale info? I'm signed up for the Heaven & Hell e-mail list for the last tour and haven't seen anything come through to my inbox yet. Do I need to go to a new special site for this tour?
I'm signed up with Live Nation and they sent me an email a couple -- or three nights ago; however, I don't believe the shows for ALL cities have gone on sale yet. Don't quote me on that, though. I need to go back and check myself...
That is correct info. So far, just a few shows went on sale with the CitiBank presale.
And besides, typically the pre-sale tickets are worse than the ones offered on the first official day. (For example: Rush)

I got floor tickets through the Heaven & Hell presale for last year's summer tour. Granted, that was directly through their site and not a ticket vendor or a credit card company, but they were great "seats." However, I did buy pre-sale tickets some other way like a month before that (before I realized that wasn't the band's "official pre-sale") and those other seats were nearly at the back of Merriweather Post Pavilion.And besides, typically the pre-sale tickets are worse than the ones offered on the first official day.

I am all up for a road trip. I am NOT going to miss this tour.
Excellent. Can't wait to see you in Philly! I'll buy you a Cheesesteak
another example - MAIDEN worst presale and ticket buying experience I've ever had!!!
got my tix for San Bernadino about 2 hours from LA area, I thought for sure they'd play Irvine but oh well....
I hope they add an ATL date. It's high time H&H made an appearance here. The last JP gig here ruled! I would go just to see testament, but all the other bands will be great, too.Can't miss this one!!! Judas Priest, Heaven and Hell, Motorhead, and Testament!!! Holy shit!!!
