Yeah thanks I understand. HB have told me themselves that tickets arent posted out until June so even though the ticket resell sites said they wont be posted until 2 days before I know they will probably be posted when the sellers get them in June. Anyway I've already got my tickets from 5 or more so I am happy. I like to plan ahead lol so I am happy knowing I am set

Got my tickets this morning! Had to do 5 or more to get them but I don't mind even though I wont be in LA to attend the other concerts. I'll sell those tickets or donate them. Quite an expensive way to get tickets for one show I know but can't take any chances with single event sales in May. First time I'm going to LA who knows when I'll be be back again and I can't miss out on see JW. Got section F2 so pretty happy

Yes thanks I have thought of that as an option but as a last resort. It's just some motel we are staying in and may not care to go to the trouble of letting me do that. I am going to wait to see if any cheaper e-tickets become available or just buy public sale. At this stage I do not care where we sit as long as we are there. Vivid Seats did say it could be the postage date is unknown because it is so far in the future and so they just set it to 5 days before by default Still cant work out why all the sites say the seller has indicated they wont get the tickets until 5 days before the concert? Is this usual practice with Hollywood Bowl? Surely they can release the tickets months before? Maybe they are all saying this date to cover themselves as they have not been provided a date by HB yet? And in a few months they might get the tickets then and update the ship date? UPDATE:: So I have heard back from the Hollywood Bowl and they say subscription tickets bought cannot be emailed only posted.. So this is why the likes of stubhub etc all say UPS only and I am very dubious of this ticket liquidator site that claims to have tickets for sale which can be emailed.. They also said subscription tickets are sent out mid may so maybe by this time, the ticket resell sites will be updated to show the tickets can be posted out immediately? Maybe a lot of people haven't put up their tickets for sale until they get them in their hand? So I guess I need to wait and maybe try to get public sale tickets as the websites want to charge like $40 for postage and the public sale tickets can be emailed so much better.. This is a weird setup I imagine anyone wanting to buy tickets to one performance int he summer go through the same dilemma not just John Williams. Is a strange way to do things.. If you want to give subscribers early access fine.. but why not just give them early access for like a week as a presale and then open them up to the public.. not 3 or 4 months later..

Thanks Well this is crap both stubhub and vividseats say tickets are physical tickets for all the seats and not emailed until after Aug 26th So this means I cannot purchase this way how dumb! I can't believe the sellers wont get the tickets until this date and its pretty bad reselling tickets so far out when you cant get the tickets in the hand until 6 months after... hope someone else has other ideas?? Maybe I can just wait to buy direct and get a e-ticket.. surely someone would have e-tickets who bought from their subscription? Edit: I did find one site ticket liquidator which has an option to see e-tickets or physical tickets but when I click this only tickets from $199 show up so I hope if I wait more e tickets will become available, I wish stubhub and others had the option to show e-tickets or physical before you have to select them, it doesn't show delivery method until you select one

I may have a huge problem if anyone can help? I am looking at getting tickets from the likes of stubhub, vividseats etc.. one website bowl-ca.com claims the tickets won't be shipped until around 26th Aug for a concert on the 1st of Sept!! This is a deal breaker for me as I am coming from Australia to the US on that date so I would need to get the tickets in my hand before I leave and it seems most of these sites are US based so I have to pay huge fees and have delays to get the tickets.. So... can anyone please help, are there re-sale sites where I can get electronic ticket for this event? Obviously I cannot wait until end of August to get physical tickets shipped and I would rather get e-tickets and save on postage fees And why would the tickets not be shipped until days before the concert? Surely Hollywood Bowl would be able to issue the tickets a longer time before the show date?

Thanks that makes my decision easier then.. I will look to getting tickets through an resale agent then In my mind I think I would be more than happy to get a seat at the back, I don't need to see everything as much as just really be able to hear it Ta

Glad to find this thread. I've known about John Williams at the Hollywood Bowl for years and as it being one of those memorable must do experiences. So I am happy to find out he will be performing on one of the days I will be visiting LA from down under so of course I am planning to go.. Reading this stuff about being able to get resale tickets now or wait till May 7th for public release I am just a little worried that there could be a fight to get tickets this time? I would be logging on at the right time to try to buy them but in the past has it been a mad rush to get tickets like do they sell out in minutes? I really don't want to miss this event its a once in a lifetime for me really being from Australia.. so weighing up whether I buy on vivid seats now or wait to get them for the regular price? Does anyone know what price ranges they would be on sale for for public sale based on previous years? Thanks
