The Jax date isn't listed at musictoday, ticketmaster or livenation. My guess is they don't have all the paperwork signed with the venue yet, so they can't post the date yet (except on the band's site). I'm anxious, so yeah, I'm a little disappointed that it isn't posted yet. But, it will happen. The musictoday site says that new dates will be added each week to the presale list. Maybe next week.

Snowdog Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 Ticketmaster finally has the show up and tickets go on sale on Saturday, Feb. 2 at 10 a.m. No info yet on the presale, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the first time i've seen the boys away from my home town, though. That will be great if i can catch this show on my birthday. What a gift!

Pause Rewind Replay Posted January 28, 2008 Share Posted January 28, 2008 Well I am absolutely required to see this show because, um, I live here Coolest part is that the Jax tix are about $20 less apiece than the other arenas... I almost feel sorry for those Van Halen fans getting soaked for $124 a ticket... I feel even sorrier for them having to listen to 2 hours of Van Halen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weatherman2112 Posted January 29, 2008 Share Posted January 29, 2008 Just in case you missed the other thread, here's a copy....thanks! Hi all. I scored a 13th row center single seat to the Jax show. Afterward, I decided to try again and scored an 11th row center seat. It was only 2 rows but I couldn't resist. So now I have an extra seat. It's floor section 2, 13th row. Face value plus fees...I think it's like $90 total. PM me if interested. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snowdog Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 Looks like the attendance problems that plagued past Jax shows will continue unless things change. Just out of curiosity, i checked ticketmaster this morning and was still able to get floor seats. Not a good sign for the show, but good for fans who dragged their feet getting tix. I sure hope the attendance is 10k or better, but I'm not holding my breath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EveryNerveAware Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 I sure hope the other 2 Florida shows don't have attendance problems. I would hate for Rush to think that FL doesn't appreciate them playing multiple dates in our fine State. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard they're close, but its no sellout. Oh, and don't forget Kenny Chesney comes at least once a year and sells out every time. I feel the same way you do weatherman. Love the area, but the musical tastes are lacking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love the area, but the musical tastes are lacking. Well I said on a Minnesota Vikings message board (I was born up there) I frequent that a sellout in Jax wasn't a worry because this city is 30% black and 40% redneck. Oh well, at least they're sure to beat the 3800 Trans-Siberian Orchestra got back in November For that I walked up 3 days before the show and got F5 Row 17. For Rush, tix have been on general sale 1 day and you cant get anything in the first 30 rows now There is 2 months left before the show.. lots of people just don't make plans that far in advance. Orlando seems to be selling better... more populous metro and closer to the Tampa-St. Pete market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itsbry Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You know what really confuses me is that there is VERY little on radio or other media about what shows are coming to Jax... I work on construction sites and other places where the radio is on the local classic rock station 24/7 and have not heard a PEEP about Rush. As a matter of fact, when I mentioned the concert date, a few of the guys told me I was on crack because Jax had banned them from coming back due to some riot at the last show... You would think that the arena and the band's promoters would get the word out a little better than just the Rush website... and here of course!

Nuts&Bolts Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I saw a T.V. ad yesterday for the Orlando show and have heard Radio spots as well. I live in the Daytona area, but havent seen anything about Jax, then again they dont really advertise much down here for Jax. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weatherman2112 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 Jax only has 1 real classic rock station and they're really not very good. They pretty much just play the classic big hits over and over (especially southern rock) with very few deeper cuts. I have heard them play some Rush recently and they talked about the concert but it was real quick. I just happened to be tuning around and heard it. I rarely listen to them anymore because it's always the same songs. Heck, if it wasn't for this board, I probably wouldn't have even known Rush was coming to my home town! I've been spreading the word but I'm amazed at how many people havn't heard anything about it. It's still a couple months away...we'll see I guess. It's a beautiful city in a beautiful area of the country but in some ways, it's got a long way to go to get into the 21st century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geddicorn Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 Why are there still so many floor seats available for this show?! I've only been living in this area for 5 years, so I don't know how well attended (or not) Rush shows have been in the past. Is this normal for Jacksonville? I guess I should've known when I was 1 of only 2 Rush fans standing in a long line at the Orange Park Mall TM outlet last Saturday morning. The rest of the ticket-buyers? Why, they were there for the Rascal Flatts show, of course! God forbid a country music act should play here and NOT sell out (or come *very* close to it).
