Q Is this the final tour schedule?

A Tour schedules are always subject to change! Shows may be added or cancelled: venues may change: dates may be moved. Please bookmark our tour dates page to keep abreast of any changes — and it's always prudent to monitor the venue's website or phone line right up until the show date.

Q Who is selling tickets?

A The Primary ticket vendor is Ticketmaster. In addition, for a limited time, Michael McDonald is offering a VIP Ticket Package Auction with proceeds going the nonprofit group, Artists Against Hunger & Poverty (AAH&P). Many venues also make tickets available at their box office.

Secondary vendors — otherwise known as resellers — may include ticket brokers, sellers on sites like eBay, and scalpers. Most secondary vendors will mark up the ticket price above face-value...sometimes by a substantial amount (Ticketmaster will list the ticket's true face value).

If for some reason you choose to buy from a secondary vendor, we strongly recommend you make every effort to evaluate the reputation of the reseller in order to avoid counterfeit tickets. You should also research your recourse, if any, should a show be canceled or rescheduled!

Finally, a few fan communities traditionally run face-value ticket exchanges during the touring season. Two such fan sites of long standing are Dandom.com and Under The Banyan Trees. You might want to visit them and see what they may have running.

Q When do tickets go on sale?

A On-sale dates are announced several shows at a time — usually once a week, and commonly on Mondays. Our tour dates page will list these on-sale dates as soon as they are officially announced by the local promoters, and provide a link to the Ticketmaster page that also lists on-sale dates (Note: if an on-sale date is listed on our page but not on Ticketmaster's page, please be patient: they will post it eventually). Ticket availability for Michael MCDonald's VIP Ticket Package will be described on Ticketmaster's Michael McDonald /AAH&P Auction Page (note that these VIP Auctions run for a limited time only).

Please also be aware that on-sale dates can be changed after they have been announced — and we don't always get advance notice. Therefore, we recommend that you monitor the Ticketmaster sites for possible changes, and consider signing up for Ticketmaster's email notification service.

Q Are there any Ticketmaster presales?
Q What's the presale password?

A At this time, steelydan.com is not sponsoring any Ticketmaster presales.

However, Ticketmaster presales may be sponsored by some other entity — e.g., American Express, promoters, clubs, local radio stations, etc. The sponsor of the presale is often identified on the Ticketmaster page.

Neither Ticketmaster nor steelydan.com can provide the passwords for presales that are sponsored by others.

Q What do I get with a VIP Package?

A The VIP Ticket Package Auction, benefiting the nonprofit group Artists Against Hunger & Poverty, is offered through and by Michael McDonald. Please monitor this AAH&P page for details on what is included, what shows are offered, and how to participate. Please note that these VIP Auctions run for a limited time only.

Q How can I get the best seats possible?

A If you are purchasing through Michael McDonald's VIP Ticket Package Auction, you are guaranteed seats within specified row locations. Visit this AAH&P page for specifics (please note that these VIP Auctions run for a limited time only).

If you are purchasing regular tickets through Ticketmaster, visit Ticketmaster's FAQ page for the real dope on ticket availability. You will learn, among other things, why trying to order online in the first nanoseconds of an on-sale period may not necessarily yield the best seat selection...and why your best chance at front-and-center seats may be days or even weeks after on-sale! We urge you to read these informative FAQs, as they really can help fans score great seats.

Q Can you email me when ... [x]?

A Sorry — if we sent out an email or a newsletter with every schedule update, we'd be shut down for spamming! To keep abreast of all the touring and ticket details, please bookmark our tour dates page, Ticketmaster's Steely Dan page, and consider signing up for Ticketmaster's email alert service. Participants in Michael McDonald's VIP Ticket Package should visit this AAH&P page for information.
