If they tour in my school holiday window, I'll be over for a few shows. One thing though, I'll have to depend on my Rush gals here to get tickets for me ... so if some of you might help me out, that would be great. Totally excited at the thought that we might all get together at a few gigs!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
liddybuck01 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Yeah, whoever knows the best way to get front row seats should be designated to get them for all of us so we're all together! We should email someone about hooking us up with seats and meet and greets! Lol I'm praying they come to Detroit this year. But thats why im going to get an enhanced license so i can come to toronto if they dont. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how I feel about that. I had to do the same at the NYS fair. SO not cool as there were no more than 8 stalls I actually worried that I would not have enough time for the intermission!

RushCanuck Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Hi fellow Rush sisters.... i hope to network with you. I'm going to set up Facebook (is that the best way?). As for front row tickets in Toronto, I will pay what it takes (even though i don't agree that insiders scoop up front rows and then hold true fans hostage - seems like a corrupt system of ticket agencies to me). But if no choice, i will cough up the money for such a seat... i'm contemplating getting a TShirt that says 'Chicks' (a la Alex comment). Don't know if you are aware but if you are coming from the US to Canada, i think you will need a passport. I have already worked myself into a frenzy daydreaming about this situation, but now to satisfy my realistic side, can someone tell me is it definite that a 2011 Toronto concert will take place? Where is this stated? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do what I do: Make sure that hubby and son get good seats at least one show, then say that you need to "get away," and get fantastic seats for yourself at another show! Worked for me so far!

liddybuck01 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 like i said, we need to try to contact someone to make this happen. it will be so hard for us to buy seats together, unless, like i mentioned, someone gets them all and then we pay them. i'm sure we can discuss more when the time comes, which needs to get here soon!!!!

Angua Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 First heard them in the mid 80's and loved Farewell to Kings. I was studying Eng Lit at the time so the Coleridge stuff was why I listened in the first place. At the same time on UK TV there was a show called (I think) Rockschool, I first saw Mr Peart on that and he blew my my mind. In our house the are "my" band (OH is a Pink Floyd nut) so I came to see them with our 8 year old at Holmdel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The_Enemy_Within Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I've been a fan since I was 12 or 13 (I'm 17, almost 18, now)... My mom and her at-the-time fiance Keith (now husband) introduced me to them. I heard 2112 on the radio, and then Keith let me borrow his Spirit of Radio Greatest Hits album. It was love from then on.

udanax Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 (edited) I became a fan on my own accord. I heard The Spirit of Radio on the radio when I was twelve and I told my mom that I really liked it. She said she could get me one of their albums, especially since she also really liked them back in the 80's. She bought me the TSOR compilation album and I really fell in love with The Trees. I also liked Ged's voice a lot. After that I got Hemispheres and CoS. I didn't realize that the band was still together and touring, and not just a 70s-80s band, until I went to my aunt's house and she told me she had the Rio dvd and we watched it. I slowly collected all of the rest of the albums after that, and I saw them from the 5th row on my 16th birthday. I still can't imagine a better way I could've spent my birthday that year. I'm 19 and have seen them twice since then, but never from as close of a view as I did on my 16th birthday. I've also been a member on this forum for almost 5 years now. Rush also influenced me to pick up a guitar, and I take private lessons through my university. I've always been teased a lot for knowing little to nothing about current pop music, but my Rush fandom has turned me on to better music than I could've ever imagined, and I'm proud of that.

TheBlonde Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 Hey, I wanna be in on this NWW front row thing too!! After seeing them (or rather, Geddy ) from the front row in Sarnia, I don't think I can go back to seeing them from farther back. I've got a friend in NYC that would also go - after Sarnia, we said our next concert "date" has to be Toronto. I've been a fan since the early 80's but didn't go to my first Rush concert until CP. I bought the tickets for my then boyfriend (now hubby) because he kind of liked their music. And he did admit that they put on a good show. (He had and still has nothing good to say about Primus because of that tour.) He has historically been my date to Rush shows and it has always bothered me that the guys around us assumed that he dragged me there...when it's always been the other way around. Since R30, I've seen them three times with my very good friend that lives in Manhattan - herself also a long time Rush fan. She came to Detroit to see them for R30 with me and all of the men around us was amazed. Seemed to have spread like wildfire that there were 2 chicks there - with no "attached" men in sight. I did see a lot of women at the Sarnia show. Some were obviously fans and a great many were obviously not. Most unfortunate though was when I learned from the young drunk girls behind me that they were just there because they had passes for the whole music festival and really couldn't wait for the Black Eyed Peas concert that Sunday.

iluvgeddy05 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 I'd love to be front row at TO but traveling for Rush doesn't really fit in my budget, unless it's travling somewhere I know someone (relative, friend). Travel $$ + tix (front row ones at that!) + hotel + food/merch/etc. = a lot for this lady. I truly envy those who can just travel 'round the states, or world, to follow Rush and get to be in the first 5 rows everytime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
