I was online and looking for Milwaukee tickets at 10 am sharp, and in trying a number of times for a good seat was offered a single seat in first in row GG, then AA, T, N, and finally Y. The next day (yesterday) I went back and got a seat about 10 rows from the stage, though in section 2 and not section 1. FYI, for those going to the Milwaukee show, a call to the box office confirmed that the seats are lettered A-Z, and then AA-JJ (or however many rows there are). The seating chart on ticketmaster's website does not disclose this information. What I want to know is what convoluted logic ticketmaster computers use to decide what seats to offer and when to offer them. Does it wait to sell single seats until the majority of a section fills up with 2s and 3s and 4s?

Hi Guys, I can confirm that there will indeed by a special edition for Scarlet's Walk in the UK, it will include the bonus DVD, which will feature [deep breath for excitement and suspense] - it's listed as "Scarlet's Walk (Special Packaging)" in the official Sony listings updated today and will include. It describes it as a "CD Extra Album" but the tracklist includes "Chapter Stops" and "Play All Chapters", which is DVD specific, not CD Extra. 1. Gold Dust (video) (5:54) 2. A Sorta Fairytale (video) (3:58) I am somewhat confused by the listing, as it seems to show 3 pieces of media with the title, which might indicate a CD Extra plus a DVD, but I'm not certain. Either way, those two videos will be part of the package. So it might be 1 CD + DVD or 1 CD Extra + DVD, can't tell which yet. UK catalogue number is 5087829, bar code 5099750878293 Hope this allays some fear that the UK wasn't going to get at least *a* special edition, if not perhaps the same one as the US. There will also be a vinyl version of the album in the UK.
