Current mood:  stoked
UPDATE: Due to unforeseen health issues, Set Your Goals will not be at the first four Fall Ball dates. Details http://bit.ly/31aBN3>here.

UPDATE: Due to conflicts, the Sauget (St. Louis) date of the Fall Ball on Sept. 29 has unfortunately been canceled and will not be rescheduled. Refunds are available at the point of purchase.

Hey everyone! Scott Heisel, AP's music editor, here. I wanted to give you a rundown of what's going on in AP Tour Land:

1. Tickets for the Fall Ball featuring the Academy Is... and Mayday Parade are on sale right this very second! We expect all shows to sell out, so buy your tickets now right here.

2. Have you already bought your tickets? Wanna have a private meet & greet with the headliners? Then click here to find out how you can! This is available to people who buy their tickets in advance only, so don't wait until the night of the show!

3. Wanna go to the Fall Ball but your wallet is empty? Fear not: We're giving away a pair of tickets to every single date of the Fall Ball! To find out how you can win for your city, click here and get in the game!

4. Okay, so you've got your tickets, but do you have a way backstage? With our Dress To Express contest, you do! The most creatively dressed fans at each date of the Fall Ball will be chosen to skip the line and enter the show first, plus they'll get to watch their favorite Fall Ball band from backstage and be a part of a photo shoot for AltPress.com. As this is the Fall Ball, we encourage formalwear, but don't think you have to be in some stuffy suit or fancy-pants prom dress -- use those items as jumping-off points and use your creativity! We'll be combing the line every night for the best-dressed people, so make sure you get to the show early.

5. What, you still want more? Well, how about this: NEW SONG BY THE ACADEMY IS! You can stream "I'm Yours Tonight" off the band's Fall Ball-only tour EP right here.

6. The hits just keep on a-comin': We've posted the cover images for AP 256, featuring the bands of the Fall Ball, right here. The issue hits stores everywhere Oct. 3, but you can buy your favorite cover from us direct right now, and we'll ship it immediately! Click here to do just that.

7. Okay, I don't think I can type anymore, so I'll leave you with this video -- it's behind the scenes of Mayday Parade's AP cover shoot. Dig that bucket list!

Hey everyone! It's Scott over at AP. Soooooo many of you have been writing me, asking about the pre-sale info, so forgive me for not writing all of you back individually. Here's some details for you.

PRE-SALE INFORMATION

When does the pre-sale start?
The pre-sale for the AP Tour will begin on Monday, January 12 at noon local venue time at the following website: theaptour.frontgatetickets.com

Am I eligible to buy pre-sale tickets?
Yep! Anyone can buy pre-sale tickets. All you have to do is make an account through Ducat King (which is completely free of charge); you can make an account now by clicking here.

Do I need a password for the pre-sale?
Nope! There's no password or anything. You just have to make an account.

What if my date sells out during the pre-sale? Does that mean the show is completely sold out?
Nope. We set aside a certain amount of tickets for the pre-sale, and once those are gone, those are gone -- however, there will still be plenty of tickets left for each date when the entire tour officially goes onsale. The only difference is they'll cost a buck or two more, and you won't automatically be signed up for a free subscription (you'll still be eligible, you'll just need to sign up at the show).

I missed the pre-sale completely. When do tickets go onsale to the public?
The pre-sale will run from Jan. 12-16, with tickets going onsale to the public on Jan. 17. We recommend buying tickets through the pre-sale, however, as they will be cheaper than regular tickets.

COMPLIMENTARY SUBSCRIPTION INFORMATION

I heard you're giving away a 1-year subscription with every ticket to the AP Tour. Is that true?
Completely, 100% true!

How do I get my subscription, then?
Through one of three ways:
1. If you buy your tickets through the online pre-sale at theaptour.frontgatetickets.com between Jan. 12-16, your subscription will automatically be filled!
2. Before the tour kicks off, there will be a form posted on the AP Tour website. Print it out, fIll it out and drop it off at the AP merch booth at your show.
3. If you forget to print a form out, no worries: You'll be able to sign up at the show!

What if I already subscribe to AP?
First off, you're awesome for already subscribing. Truth. Secondly, if you're already a subscriber, we'll let you gift your subscription to a friend/family member for free. Unfortunately, we cannot add a free year onto your current subscription at this time.

Okay, hopefully that covers most everything. Thanks for reading!
