What's the problem?? Is the sound that bad? :huh: I have been to Tinley Park several times dating back to when it was called "The New World Amphitheater" and I have some very strong personal opinions of the place. However, I know some people who absolutely love it. It's just that for *ME*, it's not a place I choose to visit again unless there is something truly special going on there. Like opening night of a tour.. or final show of a tour.. or if they announce they're filming it... etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should make some excited. Everyone should be thankful it's not at the UC again this time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Dudad Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Tinley Park is fine...no better or worse than any other outdoor ampitheater I've been to (Mansfield MA and Saratoga NY). My only problem is that an outdoor concert on June 28th means that the first set will be played in the daylight, so lighting impact will be minimal at best. I like my Rush concerts played inside or after sunset for the full impact of the lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rushfanforever! Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 1st row center, closest I've ever been at Tinley That's awesome! So you're been there before! Hoping to be upfront as well. Any word of the wise to this venue newbie. Read some real horror stories of this place, but trying not to think about it. (Leaving show a real madhouse, picky ass security, fights, etc.) I'm coming solo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Dudad Posted April 5, 2013 Share Posted April 5, 2013 Wow...just checked Ticketmaster, and there appears to be LOTS of pavilion tickets still available for this show, especially in the second set of sections. The sections on either end appear to have only sold a couple of dozen seats. While the lawn has been a bit sparse at past Rush shows at FMBA, the pavilion has always been packed. Not so this time around?? It's still 2 1/2 months away, so things could change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is no tailgating so you will have to meet-up with folks off site, there is a gathering, let me know if you are interested and I will hook you up! I'm sure you'll have a great time!

chemistry Posted May 4, 2013 Share Posted May 4, 2013 Has anyone noticed that RUSH played the same venue on the same date in 1992 RTB tour! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bytor1965 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 Does anyone know of a good bar to go to before the show?There is no tailgaiting in the parking lot. I here it is a bitch to get out of the lot after the show.Wonder if there is a bar or restaurant with a shuttle bus.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
43rd cask Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 have read bad reviews about venue sound, little kids running the place, no tailgating (except parrotheads-they are allowed to). i have a seat but may well end up on the lawn. i like to have the option. it would be nice to take over a local bar befoere the show. any ideas? i moved downstate over a decade ago.

ILSnwdog Posted June 17, 2013 Share Posted June 17, 2013 I don't mind this venue...but the traffic usually sucks getting into and out of this place (nothing like Alpine Valley, thank god). I'm taking my 9 year old daughter. This will be her first Rush show. She keeps asking me "how much longer until the Rush show." :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Leaving show a real madhouse, picky ass security, fights, etc.) I'm coming solo!Ive been there a few times. All the times I have been there, there has never been a problem. The sound isn't too bad. The last time i was there was last July for a Iron Maiden concert and Alice Cooper opened for them. The sound isn't perfect, but still sounds pretty damn good to me! Its a lot of fun!

It KILLED me seeing those seats open up and I wasn't able to take advantage of it...I waited last minute and had just purchased tickets earlier in the day. I was eyeing those 4th row in front of Geddy.Enjoy the show. Can't help ya on the hot female part :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I just got one fourth row ticket in front of Geddy. Psyched. Never been to this venue before, hate to hear sounds problems. Hopefully there won't be any the night of the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
