That One Guy Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 At $70+ a ticket for a show 450 miles away from me, it's tricky. Plus, it's seeming hard to find a companion for the show. I really want to be hitting every Rush show i can before the show's over for good, even if there's gonna be a "string section" What'dyall think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Why do you need a "companion"? I'm flying to NYC the day before opening night in Manchester, NH by myself to see a show in Times Square then traveling up to NH on my own. I'll know several people there but I certainly don't need another person with me to make the trip enjoyable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can enjoy rush just fine by myself. Plus, if you go with anyone but the most hardcore fans they might ruin it by talking or eating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn right...I've seen a ton of concert by myself. (9) times from what I can figure.....You're gonna meet people there who all have the same thing in common. And 70 bucks???!!! That's practically a bargain!!! But since you're being such a weenie about it...Stay home...We'll all tell you allll about it!!!!!!!!

greg2112 Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 (edited) I'd wait to the reviews are in/setlist is revealed before making plans to go. Thats a long way to travel for a show... IMHO. As for having a companion, ive seen a bunch of shows solo, including rush and its just fine! Edited August 5, 2012 by greg2112 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drbirdsong Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 Go for it. You NEVER know when the last show will take place. I saw the Counterparts tour by myself, it was fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sdhonda Posted August 5, 2012 Share Posted August 5, 2012 I paid 103 bucks for a ticket, for a show about the same distance away, plus air and hotel etc. This may be the very last tour, and perhaps the last chance I could have to see them, so I figure it's worth it.

micgtr71 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm heading to Buffalo by myself, but it is a hell of a lot closer that 450 miles. I don't think that I would go that far even if it was the closest they were playing to me. Then again, I am older and have seen them many times. My opinion may be different if I had never seen them.

J2112YYZ Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Yes, you should. Don't worry about not having anyone to go with. I've gone to a few concerts by myself before and I enjoyed it. Sometimes you just can't find anybody who's into the band you're seeing and you gotta go on your own. I'm not a chatty person at concerts anyways, so I don't have a problem with going on my own. The main issue I see is the 450 miles you have to travel for it. As long as you're able to afford the expenses for that along with the ticket then you have to make it happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cygnus 2112 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I'm travelling 800 KM or 500 Miles to Edmonton to see them by myself. If they were in Calgary and Vancouver I'd probably make a round trip of 2,800km or 1800 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
losingit2k Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 If you really need a Poll to convince you to pay $ 70 to go to a RUSH concert. I say no! Go see someone else! Maybe after seeing 2 other acts for $ 35 each play for an hour or an hour and a half or so you will come to your senses and realize how ignorant your were for even posting this.

If you think it is, then simply get any job you can to make that dough. 3) 450 miles= borrow a car, take a bus or train, walk, bicycle, hop, skip, crawl, horseback... 4) Yeah, the Rush caravan can't last too many more years. 5) Companion comschmanion!!!! 6) It's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must not have read the post clearly. The poster is not just paying for a $70 ticket but they also have a 450 mile trip to see the show which won't be cheap and will take some time and planning to get there. Not an easy choice to make considering the time and gas money this will cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

drbirdsong Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Your chances of getting an excellent seat go up when you go alone. Oddly enough on the Counterparts tour when I went alone I was sitting between two women. What are those odds? Go man go. Get there stand in your seat and introduce yourself to those around you. They're all gonna be Rush fans or dragged there by a Rush fan. Almost all them are good folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've met some of the nicest Rush fans over the years at Rush shows and, of course, right here on TRF and RIAB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
