This is my hometown show so I will definitely be there.

Last time there was plans to meet up at hard rock across the interstate.

I dropped by but did not see anyone obviously from TRF so I moved along.

That reminds me..., there was some major problem with ATM networks that afternoon and I hit over 10 ATMs trying to get cash with no luck. During the break I waited in a huge line in the ampitheater and finally got cash for all of my goodies...

AW...I'm in Orlando...or outside Orlando and was wondering if there was gonna be a meet up...Having been to shows in Tampa, I have found there is really no place to have a meet up. Unless you have one in the parking lot which I would be fine with.

 

The casino is kinda far away isn't it?

 

In any case I'm pretty sure I'm gonna make it to the Tampa show at least and if there is gonna be a meet up, let me know.

 

Thanks

Just got 4 tix on the presale, section 8 row H. Before this, I had always somehow managed to come away with good seats (3rd row, 8th row, 15th row) on the presale, but for some reason couldn't do it this time.

 

I might try and see if I can upgrade, but I'll be there for sure.

I haven't picked up any tickets for this show yet...thinkin' lawn...but I used a Citibank card for west palm and got 4th row...I have found that the credit card pre sales work well as there don't seem to be as many people trying to scoop up tickets.

 

I used Amex on the last tour and got good seat for both shows in '07 and '08.

 

One thing I did notice was that Tampa tickets were WAAAAY more expensive than West Palm. $95.00 before charges and the best I could find was section 10...That's 2 complete sections off the stage.

 

I guess we either wait to see what regular sales offer or don't get to see our boys close up in Tampa.

cool. the casino is very close as the bird flies.

as the car drives is a different story. I-4 is directly between the fairgrounds and the casino. the parking lot or a specific spot inside is the best bet, there is a winghouse across the street from the fairgrounds but their parking is terrible, I have had difficulty getting a spot just on nights when we were trying to watch hockey....

Perhaps I'm going Fox Mulder X-Files conspiracy theorist here, but i think the reason you can't find lawn seats isn't that they're gone, it's that they were never released yet because they want to sell out all the seats first.

 

There's plenty available in sections 11 and 17 (outside edges) for $40 apiece before fees if that would do for you http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/confused13.gif

Didn't think about that but I'll bet you are right!!!!

 

I see there are plenty of 65, and 40 dollar seats which I might just do.

 

Lemme ask another question, do you get tickets in the front ,but middle of a section...or do you get tickets towards the back of a section, but on an isle?

 

Man sooo many choices, I'm so used to the old days when you just bought tickets and front section were reasonable.

 

To make matters worse, my daughter isn't even sure she wants to go....great. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/wacko.gif

Got our tickets and have reserved a room at the Hard Rock for the night of Oct 1st. It is so convenient to get to the hotel early, relax, get something to eat and hang out in the bar until time for the show. They have a shuttle that provides transportation to and from the venue, which is right across the highway.

 

I hate feeling "rushed" and having to fight traffic for a parking space so the room fee is somewhat justified for us. Plus, I don't have to worry about driving home after the show while intoxicated, just find the shuttle, climb aboard and let them take me back to my room. http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/trink38.gif http://www.therushforum.com/html/emoticons/cool.gif

 

Not trying to push for a M&G at the casino bar since that didn't seem to work out last show, but it is a nice place to meet if we can determine a specific time and identify ourselves to each other.

 

Thoughts?

Sounds like a good deal.

We had a great pre and post show get together at the Hard Rock in 2007. The aftershow was really good.

 

Me and my posse (2 btoher inlaws and my best friend) are roadtripping up from South Florida for this show. We will be at the center Bar probably around 4 o-clockish and hang till around 6:15 then head to the venue to get in...relax..and not be rushed. The shuttle is clutch.

 

The after show will go real late I am sure...last time we were all drinking and smoking till 4 in morning. Most of us were from Rushtour last time...I hope to get more of you peeps to come out to this Hard Rock gathering...with the huge bar, casino, food, ample parking and free shuttle to the venue...it is a no brainer IMO.

 

Then wake up...grab a yummy big breakfast hit the road....and get ready for the finale with my wife and son!!!

 

Man what a long wait we have!!!

You don't need to walk.

 

There is a hotel shuttle that will take you over and drop you off right at the gate. And, it will be waiting there to pick you up immediately after the concert ends.

Let me clarify my last post, there is a free shuttle if you are staying at the Hard Rock hotel.

 

 

 

Is anyone else feeling like Oct 1st is waaaaaaay too far off?!? This Time Machine tour is slowing down time for me waiting for the Tampa show.
