I just logged in at 10:35 and saw plenty of great floor seats

QUOTE (metaldad @ Dec 3 2010, 08:39 AM) Rolling Stones - Floor seats = $ 500 Eric Clapton -Floor seats = $ 350 Really can't complain, can ya ? Dude, I saw Clapton this summer for $85 and I was on the floor. Maybe my title of the thread couldve been better, becuase I really don;t liken them to scalpers. I should have just said 'Holy Crap, the dollar isnt worth crap anymore."

I know RUSH agrees to the pricing, and I don't begrudge them earning a profit. I'm betting they could keep em lower and bet they'd have more sell outs with more affordable tix. I'm really just amazed at the prices and am saddened for people who can't swing it in this economy. I might be one of them this time around.

I just logged in to look at prices for the 3 shows currently on presale and I am FLOORED! $128 plus a $13 service fee! This a fargging ridiculous.

yeah, forget trying the management company. They are unbending. Despite my incredibly touching sob story they said "uh...no" They claimed to me only contest winners are permitted, which is BS because there are members on this forum that have had multiple M&G's through contacts and I know a few other people who have gotten in through a multitude of ways. Some as simple as standing around outside a few hours before the show.

QUOTE (Drewski @ Nov 30 2010, 02:20 AM) I treat every Rush tour like it's last, and I think more here should too. I'm not confident a Clockworks angles tour is 100%. What he said.

QUOTE (ReflectedLight @ Nov 29 2010, 03:10 AM) i'm passing this one up again. maybe it's a combination of not being gung ho about the setlist and me getting a little older. You're crazy bro'. It was a great show and well worth it. Best show from them in a long time. What exactly are you waiting for? The perfect setlist?

QUOTE (Oziumrules @ Nov 29 2010, 12:29 AM) RUSH loves South Florida ! yes, unfortunately they show no love for Jacksonville, ever. I live in Orlando and I was hoping for a show up here or in J-ville Since they did SoFL in October. Seems stupid to me.

Personally I'm sick of movies that just overdose on profanity. Im know prude and will utter these words myself daily, but criminy, its just ridiculous to say it over and over and over. Also, I hate when a movie will throw it in once just so it can get a PG 13 rating instead of PG. Bruce Almighty comes to mind. Great flick, good for the kids to watch until Bruce screams out FU. Why was that necessary?

Currently its; Man vs Food Walking Dead and still Mythbusters I miss LOST

See, I thought this was the first one since maybe the 2nd movie that WASN'T rushed, and that's because they did what they should have been doing since book 4 - make them into two movies. The movies for Goblet, Phoenix and Half-Blood Prince were way too rushed and way too much was cut. This was the first one in a long time where I felt like they got it right. EXCELLENT movie. Can't wait for part two!

QUOTE (Presto-digitation @ Nov 25 2010, 09:44 AM) So not in love with this series. GOOD and entertaining films, but hardly great. Doesn't hold a candle to Lord Of THe Rings I'm afraid. I cant think of any movie/series that holds a candle to LOTR. It is the pinnacle of film making

QUOTE (Presto_a RUSH fan_06-08-90 @ Nov 23 2010, 12:48 AM) Check out these kids fighting over an xbox game. I can only assume one of their names is 'Niggah'. Kids fight over Call of Duty World at War Crap like this makes me shake my head and wonder what the hell this world is coming to. What kind of parents raise kids like this. f**k you brotha, brotha, brotha. Ima stick you. brotha brotha brotha. I don't find this funny at all. Sad is more like it

Gets a "Very Good" from me too. As good as the last one, which is tied with this one as my fav. excellent character study and build up. we really delve into the relationships of Hermione, Ron and Harry. great story. Quite dark. We're hoping that when the Final #7v2 comes out in July a marathon viewing of both films together will be available like some theaters did for Matrix II & III.

QUOTE (FOH Lights @ Nov 23 2010, 02:58 PM) QUOTE (briremo @ Nov 23 2010, 02:13 PM)Imagine how much it costs to ship all that gear back and forth. Travel for the crews overseas? Lodging? Do they use crew buses? And to recoup that cost over 10 dates would elevate ticket prices in my mind... DING DING DING DING We have a winner! Overseas tours are NOT inexpensive. It really has nothing to do with pumping up retirement accounts. Most everyone involved could have retired years ago and lived out their remaining years quite comfortably. I know it's an open forum and venting a little helps, but lets be honest - it is what it is. You either buy a ticket and go... or not. Although, I guarantee that if you go, you will not be disappointed. The show is absolutely phenomenal and well worth the price of admission. You appear to be a thoughtful individual and/or someone with an insider's knowledge of the industry. Here's how I look at these guys and other like them... I am in awe, AWE of the sheer machinery that revolves around their ability to produce something the public wants and is willing to pay for. To think off all the individuals that will feed their families and earn a good living because Alex, Ged and Neil are talented enough and willing to share that talent with the masses. Think of the video production teams, management and logistics, lighting crews, equipment manufacturers and employees, venue employees, drivers, roadies, advertising agencies and graphics people. Sound engineers etc... These guys deserve a round of applause for caring enough to share. As FOH put it...they could have packed it in a long time ago. I'm sure of that.

QUOTE (hannuFIN @ Nov 23 2010, 02:30 PM) 145 USD=105 EUR. Now have to go so your tix seem cheaper to me than here in the US. quit your gripin' and go buy some tickets!

What's 80 Euros work out to in American $? Our premium seats here were $145.00. 10 times the cost of a movie ticket. How about accross the pond? FWIW, another poster commented on the expenses. They only have like 10 dates right? Imagine how much it costs to ship all that gear back and forth. Travel for the crews overseas? Lodging? Do they use crew buses? And to recoup that cost over 10 dates would elevate ticket prices in my mind...

This was the first show I brought the kids to and they loved it. My 14 yr old is still talking about it so clearly, it made an impression. Next year's tour is high on the anticipation list.

QUOTE (-D-RocK- @ Oct 12 2010, 04:42 PM) AshleyMadison.com The answers you seek can be found there. I'm sad to say I actually went there once but it really doesn't appeal to me. I love my wife and would be shattered and devasted if she did that to me. So I can't see myself going in that direction.

QUOTE (HowItIs @ Oct 11 2010, 08:44 PM) First of all, it is incredibly courageous of you to talk about this on a public forum. That says a lot about the depth of your confusion and dismay. And you picked the right place, because the advice I've seen so far is pretty darn good. This situation is so close to my own that I had to look and make sure you're not my Hubby. Close, but there are other things at play with us and I won't go into it right now but... damn. Here's one more thing to consider; it could be medical. I am a tad older than you (and, I assume, your wife) and peri-menopause has done quite a lot to mess up my hormones. This is something every woman goes through and we all deal with it differently. It's also possible that sex has become uncomfortable for her. That's another lovely side-effect. She might not want to see a doctor but it certainly wouldn't hurt. Express your concern that there may be a physical problem and you don't want her to be uncomfortable or, worse, in pain. Consider also that she may be feeling guilty about not having sex as often as you would like. That guilt can be reinforced if she feels pressured about it. Then that feeds into lowered self-esteem and can make her feel as if she doesn't deserve you. So she then pushes you away. And it becomes a cycle that she doesn't know how to stop. You are doing the right thing by trying to "pamper" her, by telling her often that you love her, find her sexy, etc. But damned if we ladies can't listen harder to that inner voice, sometimes. I know that it's difficult to be patient (I often think my guy is a freaking saint). From my experience, I can tell you that sometimes impatience can be tangible - you might not say anything but we ladies can feel it. I know you can't really do anything about that but it's something to be aware of. So, I would advise trying to talk about it with her, as Geddy's Mullet says, at a "neutral" time. Keep in mind that it could be medical, as you do. I'm told that there is now a treatment for low libido in women. Depending upon her reaction to your talk, you might bring that up. Maybe she is the type who would prefer to check into that sort of thing on her own, and may do so if she knows about it. I know how painful this is for you. And I can't recommend the things that have worked for me simply because our situation isn't exactly the same. But I can tell you that I sympathize more than you know. I hope our advice can help you both. Great considerations. I think you may be right about the guilt thing or at least the pressure because she's quite irritated when the subject is broached. And this stems from her own frustrations, distractions, pressures IMO There is no physical discomfort. It's more of a matter of her mindset. As a matter of fact, ya'll be happy to know she surprised me last night with a rockin' good time! And this is what's so puzzling to me; when she has a great time like this, why not want to do it more than once a month? As far as going away, I would love to get her away! Our kids are 12 & 14 and she has litterally been away from them three times in that time. Once for a funeral and once for an all girl cruise. We had a two day weekend together and all she could think about was the kids. We have frequent flyer miles, we have the resources for a little get away but she just won't do it. She says we can do that after the kids are gone. And look, I love spending as much time as I can with the boys, they are a blast, but seriously. One weekend in 14 years? We need some time away for the two of us. We always vacation together, beach/ ski, summer road trips but nothing for "us". Also, I do tend to sulk when I ain't gettin' any and you're right, she does know when I'm in my funk. But her response isn't "let's have fun" it's more like "Oh OK, lets go do the deed so you'll get off my back." Anywho, you guys have been awesome! I really appreciate the thoughtful expressions and understanding AND personal insights! It gives me more perspectives that I've condsidered, but honestly my libido is constantly screaming!

QUOTE (Janie @ Oct 11 2010, 08:11 PM) How long has this attitude of hers been going on? Is this a new thing or has she always been a little, "not in the mood"? Is she really depressed? On any medication? Would she ever instigate or are you not willing to wait for that? If this is something that has been going on for a long time, I think you may have to take your chances and have a heart-to-heart talk with her. Maybe something big is affecting her. How long, let's see...18.5 years.. SHe does ride an emotional roller coaster, but she is not bi-polar. My mother is and I'd know it when I see it.
