Hi there and welcome to the forum (I notice this is your very first post!). I'm sincerely sorry that you were not able to purchase tickets for Wed. night... I mean that.
IMO, I think it's a little unfair for you to say, "Being on the west coast makes this race to get tickets very hard and a little unfair."
How is this unfair? We have advertised the time that tix would go on sale for months now on all of our social media outlets, the PPUSA website, and here on the forum. We have also stated for months that only 250 tix would be available to the public, as this was an "intimate, acoustic evening with Evergrey." I made a special effort of sending out several reminders and even creating an event on facebook (not sure if you have an account). Glenn also sent out email sent out multiple email reminders to gold badge holders.
Once again, Glenn and I are really sorry. We're all very excited and are looking forward to September!
