First off, the record company executives, tour managers and the band/performer(s) have a power lunch to discuss the possibility of a tour. Appetizers, entrees and the whole bar lateR, dates, range (ex. A tour of Europe? South west Aasia?...), price, venues and every other aspect of a tour is battled and finally decided upon. Mind you, this decision (assuming a concensus is the ulimate goal) takes more than a few lunches, powerful as they may be. Big questions need to be answered, expensive decision need to be made. The size of the tour, has to be thought out, is/are the performer(s) going for an intimate club like feel, or is a multi million dollar world wide arena tour preferred?

To Turn the tables, the tour manager is doing his/her best to make sure everything runs smoothly. No overdoses, STD's, no green M&M's, no unwanted pregnancies or lawsuits and not forgetting your bass player in Cleveland. Scalpers are now selling tickets for (if your lucky) six times the original prices. Hot Dog vendors are buying up all the condiments they can get there hands on, while seven year old Korean girls are printing up band t-shirts and buttons to be sold for a years wage.

Finally (after selling your soul to satan), you have obtained two tickets (seeing as you can only stand one other life form other then yourself), and we will assume that you are pleased with the seats you got, (3rd row, centre...hmm nice soul) this is the time to relax and laugh at others who don't have tickets(at least they still have their souls). Its crucial to put your tickets in a safe place, preferably somewhere you'll remember. AND always keep your own ticket, you never know what squabble you'll get in with your fellow concert goer
