Question
I attended the Highway To Hell tour in 79' or 80' at the Oakland Coliseum in Oakland,California. I had a bunch of my concert tix stolen many years ago and am interested in replacing some of them. Can you help me find a place that can sell me an original tix stub? If you can, there's a huge finders fee for helping. Also, Journey, I saw the Infinity Tour back In 1979 or 1980 at the same venue. Please help if you can!
Hello Steve,
Thank you for your question.
Locating a specific concert ticket would be a bit difficult and could take a long time until one turns up for sale. The best place to keep a look out would be on the auction site Ebay, as many concert tickets come up for sale every week. You can otherwise also subscribe to the music entertainment memorabilia magazine GOLDMINE (Krause Publications) which features many vendors who sell music merchandise in every issue.
Best Regards,
Bill
