IM presales vary depending on the following:

City
Venue
Current phase of the moon
The color of the socks you're wearing

In other words, it's a crap shoot. One show will have the first 5 rows available, then next will put everyone 15 rows (or more) back. Front row tickets have been available and row 54 (or something) has been given. Before you buy presales, be familiar with the seating chart and decide sections and rows you would be satisifed with. If the seating chart is vague, email the venue and ask about it. I've always gotten fast responses. Go for presales and see what they have. If the seats you get are not on your satisfied list, don't buy them. Try tossing them and getting new ones, as the first seats you get will not necessarily be the best available and sometimes decent seats get tossed back after everyone has already bought the more mediocre ones. If your venue's presale sucks, chances are you'll get the same tickets or better during the regular sale.

Good suggestions Nicole.

I have noticed that the IM seats have been better since they swiched companies and many members have even gotten pit seats. I think it really depends on the venue. Also, many shows this tour have been GA.

The presale for GA is simple.....you just buy your ticket. The only thing a presale for GA is good for is guaranteeing that you get a ticket at all.

Not exactly true. For the Hammerstein shows in NY, there were GA/Mezzanine and GA/Floor tickets. I didn't know that until after I bought my tix. It was my own fault for not checking the seating chart prior to buying the tix. Luckily I got what I wanted.
