Concert presales: Barry Manilow, Dropkick Murphys

I called Comcast Arena’s ticket line the morning after we, the Herald, ran our blurb about Barry Manilow’s upcoming show, and I ended up stuck on hold for about 15 minutes.

I can’t say for sure that the Vegas-y singer was the reason for the delay — I eventually hung up — but I’m guessing that was the case.

While tickets for Manilow’s show go on sale to the general public Monday, a presale for the concert has already begun. Read on for that information. Keep in mind, the prices don’t include service fees, and to link to the presale, just click on the musicians' name.
