I've noticed a limited wardrobe on the boys this tour. Perhaps that's so they can pull footage from previous shows? Who knows.

I was at the Tampa show. Front row and stood the whole night. I didn't sit down until I got back to the hotel. That was one of the best Rush crowds I've been in. It was electric.

VIP Gold for me. Front row. Still cant get the smile off my face. A once in a life time experience.

I got mine 3 days after the my concert in Tampa. The show was awesome but would have really liked having my swag before the show. Its not like there was something time sensitive that just came off the press. It was the same stuff others received weeks before me. That IS my only complaint about this tour.

I had front row in Tampa but didn't know what periscope was until later. With that said, I was jumping around and rocking it wouldn't have been a pleasant viewing experience.

Does everyone periscope from the back row? Is that a rule?

Candlestick got him.

Is Jack crowd surfing? Its a roller coaster ride.

Looks like the crowd saved their energy for the second half. I hope.

Tampa show rocked. Giant party all night.

So I finally got an email, two days before the show.

3 days until the Tampa show and still no swag. No email. No UPS. Not feeling the love.

 

Is there any reason that people feel the need to have the swag before the concert? It's not like you're getting a t-shirt to wear like last tour.

 

It's vestigial. From the old days. When swag could only be acquired AT the show. Some part of our minds wants the stuff if not before the show, at least by the day of the show. ;)

 

I don't believe that for a second.

 

No?

 

If not, then people are just more impatient than ever I guess. ;)

 

I'm just teasing but I'm sure you know that. ;)

 

To me, its part of the experience. This is the first time I've gone all out and dropped this much money to see the boys. I wanted to review the tour book, hold the laminate and reminisce all the shows I've seen. Some fans pump themselves up by reviewing pictures or concerts from their past. They scan messages boards for every spoiler they can find before the show, read through the set list or just communicate to other fans to build their excitement. All that is okay, I feel if I spend $400, then an effort should be made to get my swag before the show.

3 days until the Tampa show and still no swag. No email. No UPS. Not feeling the love.

Four days till the Tampa show and still no swag. I'm starting to freak out. Should I be?

I'm going to the Tampa show on Sunday. Still waiting on my Gold package.
