Bummer, no Wisconsin dates. Maybe I’ll chase to Chicago. Maybe.

Hoping this is popular and more dates are added later!

Of course, I would love to see a bigger, cross-country FNB tour too. But this Micky/Mike show really sounds like blast. Maybe “Auntie’s Municipal Court” will finally be performed?

I, too am looking forward to more FNB gigs! I saw them in San Francisco and what an unforgettable evening it was!

They need to swing into the Southeastern US (Nashville seems like a no-brainer). Can't help but think that Nez is keeping the number of tour dates down, given his long-standing aversion to being on the road.

Can't help but wonder how Peter feels. Sure seems like they left him out in order to split the profits two ways instead of three and "honor" Nez's statement that he would not tour with "The Monkees" again. Semantics. Sad.

Andrew Sandoval posted this comment on Facebook:

Part of the way these tours are constructed is “routing” - shows with offers that are profitable and are easy to travel to. Since the Monkees pay all the expenses of travel, plus a band, plus a crew, plus agents, plus Rhino - they must evaluate if it is worth the crazy amount of energy. That is one of the reasons Peter is sitting this out: 2016 was crazy and fatiguing for us all - lives were turned upside down promoting Good Times. It leaves time for nothing else.

Hey there, Rich! Nice to see I'm not the only one hopeful for SE U.S. gig! North Florida would be nice and Nashville would work for me, too.

Okay . . . I can use the resale code to get into the site to buy tickets for Toronto -- are VIP tickets different than this? If I buy tickets now and then buy VIP access on Friday am I buying double the tickets?

I mean -- if I buy a VIP package do seats come with included?

I can't be for sure, Tom, but I would check the venue's website for all available options.

In 2016, I purchased my pre-sale ticket as part of the VIP package directly from the venue's site and not through Monkees.com. In other words, the venue's pre-sale included a ticket with the VIP package. And that VIP package ticket placed me up front seating-wise.

I hope this helps!

Thank you Mark for the clearing that up. I appreciate it!

..not that there's any mass hysteria out here, but the Beacon Theater live nation link is down and swamped right now!

Got 2 VIP tix thru ticketmaster for the Cain Park show in Cleveland! Was expensive but couldnt pass it up!

I did the VIP package for Michael's gig in San Francisco and it was so worth it! I couldn't pass it up and so glad I didn't. I would purchase the VIP for one of Michael's & Micky's gigs but unable to get out of town for these.

Are presale for VIP only?

2/22/2018 06:10:10

Hi Billy,

I'm not for certain as I haven't checked each venue's ticket options, but a quick glance seems to show that some venues are offering just VIP options at this time, while others are allowing you to purchase a regular ticket as well. I would check the venue's site or their link on Ticketmaster to confirm - you should see a pop-up box with available options as soon as you get to the page on Ticketmaster. Hope this helps!

2/22/2018 11:12:36

Thanks, but I was specifically looking at the Chicago show. You have listed 4 sites for presale, but the only one I can find is through ticketfly and they're just VIP. How do I get regular presale tickets? Please help.

2/22/2018 16:07:38

Hi Billy,

I'm sorry but I don't know anything else about the presale for Chicago. Those various presale passcodes were provided by The Monkees Tour official Facebook page, and there seems to be different agencies offering presale options for Chicago. Based on what I can tell, there are no single ticket, non-VIP options available. Regular ticket sales begin tomorrow, Friday, February 23 at 10am. Good luck!
