QUOTE (1-0-0-1-0-0-1 @ Jul 20 2010, 03:17 PM) I'll buy the regional thing. Here in the northeast, we hear the big four on the radio -- "TSOR," "TS," "CTTH" and "Limelight" -- and rarely anything else. Not in this part of the northeast. We have mainly 80s or country. That said, I have heard a variety of Rush at Buffalo Wild Wings in Hadley, MA (which I assume is some proprietary thing, and not a local radio station), and I often hear Working Man in a bar in Keene, NH. Outside of that, next to nothing.

I didn't want to see the setlist before I saw my show and diligently avoided it. That said, the fact that someone has an opinion on the first set (without naming names in the thread title) is not a spoiler. It's a safe bet that every show will have a first set, and that some will like it and some one. That hardly gives anything away.

QUOTE (Mara @ Jul 15 2010, 11:45 AM) Oh good lord. In Section 103? Good luck to the dumbass listing those. Seriously. 2nd row center for $1,923.90 a pop? Even if the seats were on stage, I wouldn't pay that much. And the VIP parking is a scam. They want $30 to park in the "special" parking area, but if you get there when gates open, you can park right next to that for free. On the VT tour, I remember mocking (to myself) the people who paid $30 to park 4 feet from me.

QUOTE (bones @ Jul 15 2010, 08:32 AM) Ya,staying at Mohegan..we go up there often,and we get reduced room rates...but even if we didn't get the special rates,I think a room would be around $199.00 or so.. I'm not sure if this link will work, but let's try: https://mymohegansun.com/CGI-BIN/LANSAWEB?W...E65E071+SUN+ENG Just in case it doesn't work, what I'm trying to link to is: Jul. 19, 2010 thru Jul. 20, 2010 King NonSmoking Mon. 19 $459.00 Total:$459.00 I couldn't find any room cheaper, whether it was a king, double queen, or deluxe cove suite, smoking or non. Sounds like you got a sweet discount!

QUOTE (bones @ Jul 14 2010, 09:42 PM) I'll be there...have some great tickets,sec 15 row 4..wife and I are staying overnight also..$69.00 room... You're not staying at Mohegan, are you? Aren't rooms there like $450/night?

QUOTE (PariahDog @ Jul 13 2010, 04:37 PM)He certainly has made a name for himself! Chris Langone is the new Solaris Blueraven. Results 1 - 10 of about 50,200 for chris langone sues rush. (0.57 seconds) Search Results Let's be fair, now. You only turn up those results if you're already searching for him suing Rush. If you just search his name, only 2 out of 11 links on the first page are about the suit. I don't know the guy, but I'm willing to bet there's more to him than this suit, and you'll get less results regarding it if you're not specifically searching for it.

QUOTE (rushlady23 @ Jul 13 2010, 11:58 AM) Note to self: Never, EVER buy tickets through Stub Hub I don't think there's anything wrong with StubHub, although I wish most people would sell tix a lot closer to retail price. That said, I think that going through StubHub would still have worked in this situation, had the ticket been purchased for a closer - and indoor - venue. I have no issue buying a reasonably priced ticket from them for a local venue in which I'm only out my driving time if the show is rescheduled. I wouldn't chance an outdoor show for which I need to fly or do other excessive travel.

QUOTE (Mara @ Jul 12 2010, 06:51 PM) Was that really necessary? Not only was it unnecessary, it was so wrong in terms of grammar and spelling that it wasn't even offensive - just embarrassing.

QUOTE (Tortoise and Hare @ Jul 9 2010, 07:24 PM) Men from VERMONT, especially, need to avoid KK's at all cost!!!! And women from VT. My GF has her own KK story, completely independent of mine, and they both happened before we met. She was thinking of printing out a pic and bringing it; I told her there's going to be enough KK BS without her encouraging it. But seriously...I know it's funny to taunt me with KKs, but she seriously has an adverse physical reaction to them, so if it wouldn't be too much trouble to save that until after the show......unless you like vomit, that is.

You'll come for the concert, but you'll stay for the doughnuts.

QUOTE (mazyyz @ Jun 23 2010, 09:03 PM)QUOTE (the masked drummer @ Jun 14 2010, 10:53 PM) There are basically two ways to score last-minute tickets: 1) Pay big bucks 2) Win them from a radio station That's it. Scalper? I think that would fall under category #1.

QUOTE (kirkg @ Jun 23 2010, 11:17 AM) right, i got that, but is there anything i need to bring? i just want to make sure i don't forget anything and end up missing the show Your confirmation should tell you what you need. Typically, they request ID and the credit card with which you bought the ticket. Check your email to make sure they don't need anything else, though.

If you need 1, please PM me. I have one waiting for a home.

How many do you need? I've got 1, but if you need to bring family/friends, I can't help. If you need just one, let me know. You can have it at cost.

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Jun 15 2010, 06:38 PM) Why? I wasn't saying that directly to the person as an insult. Sorry if I gave off that vibe somehow though I doubt she thought you meant it as something directed at someone. It is, however, equating a group of people with a negative. It would be like saying "That's so Canadian" instead of "That's so lame." Whether you mean it towards a particular person or not, it's still connoting that a particular group is synonymous with some negative sentiment.

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Jun 15 2010, 05:21 PM) It's like me getting to see Cliff Burton play with Metallica. (dare I dream) Good luck doing that now in today's day and age, since it will probably never happen again. Just probably not? I'd say Cliff showing up would be a pretty big draw.

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Jun 14 2010, 07:58 PM) 2. They're quiet! 9 times out of 10, these people act in a civil manner and can be extreemly quiet or just as enthusiastic as the typical sober concert-goer at the show. But it's nothing close to the scope of obnoxiousness. To that point: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1HtfQZXl6U

QUOTE (iluvgeddy05 @ Jun 9 2010, 02:55 PM) I know many wait until a few hours (or minutes!) before a show to grab some great seats and have had great luck every time. I am looking to do this not for Rush but another concert this weekend that I don't have tickets too. My question is: What's a good time frame to buy these *good* last minute tickets right at the venue's box office? 1 hour? 3 hours? Does it vary matter? Please share your experiences and tips! Thanks The only time I've ever done that was for the R30 tour. The box office opened about 2 hrs before the show, and they release seats sporadically. We passed on a few sets, but as the time grew closer, I started getting nervous and we took 200 level seats. We might have done better if we held out, but you take your chances. I figured better to see them in 200 level than miss out. Who knows? We might have scored front row if we'd waited....or missed out altogether.

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Jun 7 2010, 11:57 PM) Thanks for all your help in this matter. The delivery method he chose was Fedex Canada, but I don't know where the regional centre would be situated in my case. At either rate, I would like to make it very clear that I don't care how long I have to wait, as long as they DO come! (although, I also wish they would be here tomorrow ) No problem. I got a confirmation email when I bought the tix, and then one when they were shipped - got the email Sunday and the tix Monday, with USPS tracking. Again, I don't know if that would apply in Canada, though.

For the benefit of those who did not get a copy of the confirmation email: For shipped tickets: By choosing UPS or US Mail, it does NOT mean that your tickets will be shipped out immediately after you process your order. Tickets will be shipped 10 business days (approximately 2 weeks) before the event date. If you have not received your tickets one week prior to the event date, please email tix@musictoday.com immediately. Non-delivery claims must be made no later than 48 hours prior to a weekday event and no later than Thursday evening prior to a weekend event. Day of show and weekend requests for assistance cannot be honored and no refunds will be made. Note: UPS does not deliver to PO Boxes. [sNIP unrelated will-call info] Delivery Notes: USPS 1st Class Mail w/Delivery Conf. - 3.50 (USD) By choosing USPS 1st Class Mail w/Delivery Conf., it does NOT mean that your tickets will be shipped out immediately after you process your order.

I imagine shipping to Canada might take a few additional days.

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Jun 7 2010, 02:52 PM) ummm.. now i'm freaking! Mine's on 7/17, and I STILL haven't gotten them Perhaps you're just 2 postal days further away from the distribution center. I wouldn't sweat it.

QUOTE (Hemispheres89 @ Jun 7 2010, 02:40 PM) Hey, which show, if you don't mind me asking? The first one on June 29th? Nope. 7/19.

Anyone? Last chance. I'd much prefer it to go to another fan at cost, but it's getting closer and I don't want to get stuck with an extra like last tour. If I don't hear back by the end of the day, I'll toss it up for sale. If anyone wants it, please let me know soon!

Got mine today - for a different show, mind you, but FWIW, they are shipping them out.
