Pheran Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 Anyone know when presales are going to start for this location? It's the closest one to me and as a bonus, it's on my birthday. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pale Facsimile Posted January 25, 2015 Share Posted January 25, 2015 Can't wait for this show...it'll be my 9th RUSH show overall, first of three on R40 (of the dates we know about, anyway), and I'm bringing my 14-year-old first-cousin-once-removed, who's never been to a rock concert before. SO EXCITED!!! :dweez: :7up: :Alex: :Neil: :geddy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted VIP gold tix to get close to the stage, but Idk if our height will make that a poor choice..thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Meetup discussions here! So far, I don't see that we're doing a whole lot of that here. :huh: I suppose there's some time, though. I honestly can't remember if there are restaurants, etc. very close to the venue. It's in a fairly densely-packed area of buildings in the middle of town.

EagleMoon Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 So anyone get tickets? After refreshing about a thousand times I was able to get 8th row in front of Geddy. Best choice I saw and fine with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 I'm not buying until later. Excellent work, though, Eagle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 115 on Alex side. Same section we had last show except opposite side of the arena. I prefer side seats anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nappy2112 Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 104 Ged's side and actually closer than last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khan Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Anyone know of any hotel deals in the Arena district? Two shows ago we got a room for $25 at the Hyatt Regency because it was their 25th anniversary. Doubt I could snag that again but would like to find something better than 150 bucks.

Our Loving Watchmaker Posted February 3, 2015 Share Posted February 3, 2015 Floor 1, 12 rows back! My first Rush show, and I am ecstatic! I wish Ticketmaster wasn't awful and offered all the floor seats on the first presale; I would've tried for first row. I hope I can see alright on the floor..After watching the Time Machine and Clockwork Angels Tour, however, I am a little skeptical of Geddy's vocals. It's no secret he doesn't have the range he used to, but I hope they don't pick songs that require him to strain too much. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry about the vocals, the live show is so spectacular you won't even think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is true. ^ Besides, for what it's worth- Clockwork Angels tour (the second leg) was my first Rush show since 1994, and I thought Geddy sounded great.

Khan Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 Vocals, shmocals. I'm too busy air drumming to worry about vocals.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v423/KublaKhan/128036491e86.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue J Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I'll be in section 106, which is Geddy's side. Just bought a few minutes ago. Didn't want to stress myself out with the pre-sale, and I was busy at work yesterday when the public sale started...popped on Ticketbastard just a few minutes ago, and easy peasy, I'm in. I didn't care about being on the floor, or in the front row, or paying an entire week's wages for a VIP ticket. I'm just glad to be going. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted February 7, 2015 Share Posted February 7, 2015 I read on Facebook today that someone said it looked like they moved the stage back to make more room for seating. Someone else said they had done that before and they ended up further back than they thought. I hope this is not the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pound of Obscure Posted February 12, 2015 Share Posted February 12, 2015 I read on Facebook today that someone said it looked like they moved the stage back to make more room for seating. Someone else said they had done that before and they ended up further back than they thought. I hope this is not the case. This is true. I called TM, "can't do anything about it". I called VIP support, "can't do anything about it". Called Nationwide Arena, they agree with me that it really sucks, then dead silence. So no compensation of any kind for selling expensive, close VIP tickets and then moving the stage so your tickets aren't VIP anymore. So everyone agrees that I got ripped off and it sucks for me, but that's how it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were when the sold them to me. ;) I'm sure if I can figure out how to contact the promoter, who I'm told made the changes, (not Nationwide)they will try to tell me they still meet their definition of within a certain amount of rows. Currently there are people scalping tickets in my section for much less than I paid for these. The SCALPERS charging less. My argument will be that I would have never bought VIP tickets that far away. Why would I? I can get these tickets this good for 100 bucks. I've been screwed and I'm venting. Don't mind me. At least I get a fake pass to wear around my neck like a true Rush nerd. If it gets here before the show. Yay me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
