got rush?

What that old saying, “Once you go front row”?

We had side seats on various shows. There is nothing wrong with bleacher seats. The problem for us was standing up and some asshole behind us screaming “sit the f**k down” which was not gonna happen. Then without hesitation a beer gets thrown on us.

To our shock one of the Rush Police saw it happen. He told the guy to leave which started a huge ruckus. I walked up to the police guy just to say let the guy stay no harm done. This dick gets in my face telling me “stop making matters worse”. He,finally understood my intentions and calmed down. I did tell the beer thrower “we will never sit down”. He was happy to let us stand.

Long story huh?

With that in mind, from that day forward we always got floor seats. Fifth row sucked, third row was better but FIRST? OMG.

We where very fortunate to get front row when we did. Either through brokers or using my wife’s very little eye sight to get “visually impaired seating”. She holds that visual aide cane up The Whole Show.

Front row is the ultimate mind f**k. Us being such huge fans let’s our imagination run wild. We act nuts and it does seem that their show is FOR YOU. Having no one in front is the way to go.

Oh and by the way i won M&G and like was said a few words back Front Row puts a foot in M&G’s ASS.

We have won the VIP thing and Meet and greet.

Meet/Greet instructions say MORE THAN ONCE

No Autographs so DO NOT bring anything to sign.

I guess we should have read into that because as soon as we

Got back in front of the boys, Michael M asked " did anybody bring any gifts OR Gift Bags for Geddy or Alex??"

1 or 2 couples said yes and they went to the end of the line.

That might get you another second or two?

It's all over in seconds. Almost takes 2 to 3 times. Ha

So take that and all the good advice so for and have a wonderful night.

These seats are the best that we could do. If we had $3000-$4000 we could have been on 2nd row. Maybe.

We didn't pay for them through Official Platinum Seats.

My wife called and got accessible seating for the blind or sight impaired.

This is what they gave her.

I think we would rather be here than say on the floor past 5th row.

It's RUSH they are all good seats!!

Who goes to see RUSH Live and sits in their seats? The wife and I have never (NEVER) sat for even 1 song during our 14 shows over the years. We have usually been in the first 5 rows or closer for most of them. Even in the lower bowl seats we never sit.

I'm really not sure how we would react to someone behind us demanding us to sit down. Maybe let him sit in our seats in front of us? Depends on where his seat is.

We sure wouldn't want to spoil any other Rush Fans experience. Same goes for our experience.

We stand, air drum, dance, scream, and down right make fools of our selfs.

This is what Rush Fans do. We don't stand still for 3 hours. Sit still either.

So, we sure hope nobody behind us shows their ass. Ha. Lol.

RUSH ON people's.

We are too. Row A.

Noticed Row 3, Sec C for sale --$450 each. -----3 pairs

 

& Sec 108, Row A for sale --$375 each -----3 pairs.

During the Clockwork Angels Tour the show was on December 2nd and Showtech emailed me on November 26th.

Only 7 days before the show. GOOD LUCK.

Baton Rouge to Syracuse, Chicago and The Gorge by air. To The Woodlands and New Orleans by car. TMT

Baton Rouge to Alpharetta, Los Angeles-San Diego, Raleigh and Denver by air. To Houston by car. CWA

I just looked on StubHub. LIke SW said, the resellers have all the tix, so f**k it - unless something pops up later, I guess I'm not going. I'm not sitting way at the back. I didn't know the presale was yesterday, or I would have pulled over and bought tix.

 

Doesn't matter. I got other shit to handle right now.

Explain to me say RUSH R40 —New Orleans, LA.

New Orleans hasn't even went on sale yet.

Stubhub, tickeliquidator and others have 100's of tickets for sale.

Before pre sale??

Floor seats for $$2500 --$4000 each ???

How is that possible.

Do they anticipate seats that they might get??

How did I make a boo boo?

Yes I admit that I did throw back Row 9 and Row 8 with hopes of getting better seats.

I guess we have been lucky. Wife and I have been on 1st row, 2nd row, 3rd and 4th. Even 5th row (Chicago-TM.)

When you have spent 3 plus hours so close to the stage the feeling is unmatched by anything except by being close to stage. Huh?

Oh well, it Is cool being close enough to say "Geddy was talkng to me" or a"Alex winked at me" (my wife). or whatever.

We will keep on trying for VIP GOLD.

IM NOT SURE what I'm doing wrong but I need my RUSH FIX.

Hey people, did it seem really hard if not impossible to get ANY seats Row 1-6 or 7, 8 ?

I spent 20-30 minutes juggling 2 computers trying to score seats for Alpharetta and Dallas VIP GOLD-- only to come away empty handed.

Yes I turned away some hoping for better.

It seems that everybody had a hard time getting the seats they wanted.

Where is your seats?? If you don't mind sharing with us.

I know where mine are!!--some resellers pocket.

I will keep trying. I'll never give up on RUSH.

 

Update: Just realized this same question has been asked. Sorry.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but didn't the Presale dates for venues start like 1-2 days after the Announcement of the CA Tour?

Is this their way of deterring scalping or?

I know one thing, it better be soon that they announce. My nerves cannot take much more.

My wife is driving me crazy. Please let it be soon!!

January 26.

I know a dude that know Alex Lifeson's son's baby mama's sister's nephew Gabe Tuftanharber.

We forgot the web site that you go to for M&G photos.

Venue: PNC ARENA, May 2013.

Sure hope they are still there.

THANKS?

I just noticed where you were from. How does "near the front" for Rush compare to Tiger Stadium atmosphere vs. a big SEC foe on Saturday night @ 6pm traditional start time? LOL

Tiger stadium just had a expansion to 91,600 seats making it 5th largest in seats on campus.

Anytime Alabama comes to Baton Rouge its a sellout. Saturday night at Death Valley compares to nothing else. The crowd is electrifying as chills go down your spine.

If we had a choice it would be first row RUSH. When your that close you do have the feeling that the guys are communicating with you on a personal level. That is the experience we had at several shows.

YES. I added Raleigh to your link and it worked.

When the wifey called me and said she read somewhere? About 2015 tour dates I was like WHAT??

Just to receive a juicy morsel of a maybe dates is such a high.

Didn't this same thing happen a few tours ago? Turned out to be true?

Sure would be nice if they didn't have multiple tour dates on same day.

Sure is hard working multiple computers trying to get the very best seats that you can.

I guess we will do the VIP tix this tour.

 

**** Is there anybody out there in RUSH-VILLE who chose the VIP method and had/have regrets ??

Was that picture taken at Alpharetta? I think I saw y'all. Y'all had like 5th row seats on Alex's side. Is your wife blind? The reason I ask is because I see the white cane in your picture and when I saw this couple at Alpharetta, the lady had a white cane. All I could think about was how good the show was going to sound from those seats and how good Rush must sound to a blind person!!!

 

If this isn't the case, I'm sorry for being

Yes we are the couple from Alpharetta. My wife is blind, legally. She is not n the dark. She has RP. She has zero peripheral vision.

Actually this pic was at The Gorge. We wore the same shirts every show.

That venue it was cold and being from the south we wore t shirts. We had to buy RUSH hoodies at Alpharetta just to get warm.

AWESOME! I bet that was an awesome road trip to Washington, too!

oh yes. What a way to end the TM Tour. We had already seen them 4 times TM tour. When I say last minute I mean LAST MINUTE we booked our airfare 6-7 days before the July 2 show. It was 100 times better than we thought it would be. Every Rush Tour should include a visit to The Gorge Amphitheater. We had 3rd row Geddy. Even got our posters on the Rush Photo Site at Rush.com.

We where 2 out of 25 here in Baton Rouge. The sound at the theatre was Amazing.

We saw them live 10 shows in 4 years and seeing them on the screen is 1 more way to get our fill of RUSH.

I was surprised to see such a diverse group of Rush Fans. I really thought the other patrons where at the wrong screen.

My wife and I treated it as a Live show. $12.50 is a very small price to pay for a Rush Concert.

During TM tour, what show I'm not sure because we seen so many in the past 3 years. but they played a short version to Bangkok.

Alex got so into token off the fake joint his eyes rolled back in his head and sat down in front of his amps for at least 30 seconds.

My wife really thought something was wrong. He is a funny one.
