Just got back home to Cleveland from my Toronto weekend. Flipping awesome town. My two cents... Didn't care for the intro videos too much. Thought they did some cool stuff in the past, but this one not so much. Loved the setlist although when they pitched a Time Machine tour I expected maybe a bit farther back in time. Still loved the list though. Geddy's appliances were disappointing. WTF was it anyway?? The guitar feedback in YYZ was horrible. I really expected them to stop and just fix the BS. Then when Limelight started and Alex's guitar starting cutting out. Damn! So did someone get fired? Also did anyone else think they had Geddy's mic maybe a bit too high on volume? Seemed a tad up there. Overall good show. Not R30 mind you but Rush good! Went to the show with two buds, one a Rush virgin and the other has not seen them since MP. We really enjoyed ourselves in your fine city and must say there are many a lovely Canadian ladies! PS. I'm 45 and I stand at concerts too!

Well I finally got a ship notice. Maybe it will arrive by Thursday so I can take to Toronto with me. A tshirt would be nice but I really need a water bottle to mix my drinks in! ;-)

I see they are coming to Cleveland, but if they only play 40 minutes I will probably pass since I saw them in Cinci in May. About 90 minutes each is the word 90 minutes? Seems like a long time for not a headliner and three bands are playing. Would be cool though. Going to see them now in Vegas since they are there the Friday night before !!

Email they sent me today said they were delayed and now expected to ship July 6th. Man were these popular or something?? I want my T for Toronto trip damn it!

What everyone else is saying... great pics and WELCOME to the forum Mike!

Inquired last night since I did not see my order listed on their search screen. Got this...Reply "Hello, Thank you for choosing Musictoday. Pre-Orders do not appear on the Order Status Page. Your order is being processed for shipment on 6.22.10. Your will receive an email when the package leaves our facility. If you have any further questions or concerns, feel free to contact us." So I guess I wait and see... http://i326.photobucket.com/albums/k433/dad2trips/popcorn.gif

Just curious if anyone has received.

Vegas ticket arrived today, Pittsburgh tickets about a week ago. Still waiting on Toronto show tickets.

Not coming to the disputed rock and roll capitol - Cleveland! They were here in '07, but did not return in '08. Hard to believe they played Pittsburgh in both '07 and '08 when they sold more tickets in Cleveland for the '07 show. So I went to Pitt (Post Gazette Pav - what a shit hole place that was). Like others, I'm traveling this year to see them. I am very OK with that!

Porcupine Tree tonight in Cincinnati!

Who is heading to the Cinci show Saturday? Any meet ups planned? PM me. Coming down from Cleveland.

I am a middle-aged guy who has paid lotsa dues. I've seen the guys many times from the back, once from the front and all points in between (see my profile pic, my wife and I are the couple in bottom corner of the pic). All kidding aside, cash I have. The experience of front row is well worth the sheckles for me. Great for you man. Enjoy the show!!

If you dont have any luck during the presale give it a go when the public sale starts.

Same for me on the Columbus show. Not much to choose from. I will try for Pittsburgh on Monday. Also thinking I may wait if they don't sell out to try a few days before the show. Often tickets open up. Especially with this premium ticket BS perhaps they will release those to a lower price level. Meanwhile I have my Toronto floor seats. :-)

The Cars - September 3rd, 1980 The Motels opened Me and my buds will celebrate the 30th anniversary of that show this year. We will raise a few pints and honor Ben!

Seems like the same setlist from last year. Looking forward to Cinci next weekend!

When I was completing the order I did not see the ticket confirmation that was at the top of the web page and only saw the information to add the T Shirt and water bottle. So after completing that I did not see a ticket confirmation - only the t shirt combo order. So I freaked! I checked my email for confirmation and only saw the tshirt order come through. So I went back through the ticket ordering and after 10 minutes managed to get 17th row FLR L come up. So I grabbed those, but found I had to use a different credit card (which now makes sense). When I go to the same page with the tshirt order I took more time to look it over and saw the ticket confirmation at the top. Said "Uh oh" and then went to my Music Today account inforamtion and low and behold - 2 separate orders for 3 tickets each. Now I find myself with 3 extra tickets, almost $1000 on my credit cards, and a bit of a pissed off wife! Going to try and contact Music Today to cancel one of the orders, but they clearly say all sales are final. Second choice is to find three more buds to go which is unlikely since I am coming from Cleveland. Third - if anyone is interested in them - PM me - face value of course!. Last option is Stub Hub or something like that. Get them up on stubhub ASAP -- list them just above face value and you'll sell them. And bring down the prices for your venue. Good suggestion. I will do that if I can't get a refund or find anyone additional buds to go. I have some feelers out to some buds right now.

For LFLR section - Does Seat #1 start on the left side as you face the stage or on the right side (next to the CFLR)? And how many seats per row? Any ideas? Thanks!

I don't get how the ticket selection works on these systems. For the first 35 minutes I was getting horrible seats or it would return none were available at that price level (the highest). Then finally some decent seats came up. You would think the program would sell best seats first and then work back. Iw ould get 34th row come up FLR and then try again and get 28th row, then again back to 34th row, then wham - 17th row. Seems like a scam that people would freak and take the first seats that come up thinking that they are the best.
