cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I plan to attend both Toronto shows, and with the tickets at the prices they are, I think I'll be hitting the lawn for the Molson show. Is the lawn as bad as people on here say it is? Can you see anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was right up front though, so I didnt have tons of people standing in front of me. I think it might suck if you dont get there early enough and get right at the front of the line.

exciteable_one311 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 cant say for the other venues, but i know Superpage.com Center here in Dallas, the lawn is horrible. i refuse to get lawn tickets for this show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trenken Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 Lawn seats are terrible. Not only are you far away, but the sound gets lots once you get out from under that roof over the seating sections. I had lawn seats at PNC in NJ for the VT tour, the sound was so weak. Id rather just listen to live recordings in my car, sounds way better. You gotta be under that roof so the sound cant escape.

Presto-digitation Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 This is why anymore I just prefer arena shows. The sound make suck in its own way, but it's usually not weak. These ticket prices are depressing me. I might wait for the Blu-Ray. UGH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godeater2112 Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 I've seen Rush a lot and am glad that I've seen them from all sorts of different vantage points, from the very front and center right to the back of the lawn. Each experience is unique and I enjoyed every show. Even if you don't like the lawn much at the Amphitheater show you'll have your seats regardless at the ACC. If you were really worried about all this and need to stick to your budget, I'd suggest that instead of buying crappy tickets for both shows, just go to ONE and get a better seat. That's what I would do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I would do. That's certainly a good suggestion. And leave lesser interested parties at home. For instance my wife would "want" to go to be supportive (cuz she's awesome like that), but for that kind of dough I might try talking her out of it...even at the risk of hurting her feelings. God it sucks you have to do this with concerts. I used to buy tickets by the handful and my friends would pay me back. No biggie. Could afford to even eat one or two on occasion. Now?? What bill doesn't get paid so I can go see Rush? (Not really, but....it's an expenditure). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted April 12, 2010 Author Share Posted April 12, 2010 Well I have two buddies who desperately want to see them as they've never seen them before. I told them that I planned on going to both shows, so I'll be doing one friend for one venue. I'll get lawns for Molson and as good a seats as possible at the ACC.

metaldad Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 You should try to get good seats for 1 of the shows . F- it, you never know when it's over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReflectedLight Posted April 12, 2010 Share Posted April 12, 2010 i'm definitely sitting a little further back this time but not quite lawn seats. i need to be able to sit down here and there when my energy dwindles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cygnus_thegodofbalance Posted April 13, 2010 Author Share Posted April 13, 2010 Luckily I'm still a young-un, so my legs will handle me just fine And no, Toronto prices are not up yet for some reason. I'm merely basing this on the fact that every show on sale as of yet has insane ticket prices...$150 for good seats, $60 for lawn seats...it's ridiculous.

New World Double Agent Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 (edited) On the Snakes and Arrows first leg we hit 2 shows back to back. 1st was lawn seats then prime seats the next night. The lawn seats where not as bad as i expected. Other than the heat and humidity in Dallas we had a blast!!

Score Out Posted April 13, 2010 Share Posted April 13, 2010 Everyone keep in mind that when it gets close to showtime there's a limited resale market for the lower-end seats and especially extra lawn seats. You can usually find plenty of them for below face value on ebay and especially in the parking lot. If you're in need of just a single or a pair and you're on a limited budget, I'd watch ebay in the week or two before the show for good deals, but primarily just show up at the venue. Lots of people would take almost anything for a non-premium seat at that point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear ya Unless your on the lawn in New Jersey with the Pagscon crew. Then the energy and the beer flows!!! I had a great time last year on the lawn at PNC. Of coarse I have seen Rush a gazillion times so its different for me at this stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
