Should i go?

[Apollo]

Don't be afraid of going by yourself, I went by myself to the T4E tour back in '97 in Vancouver and loved it, no distractions between you and the music. Also had to go by myself to Iron Maiden last week since nobody would go with me and had a good time there too. As for the 450 miles, I am pondering that battle too and could still go either way on it. I really wish someone could discover the 2013 list to see if there's something closer.

Yes, I've seen you before.   I'll go to amovie by myself, but a concert?

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.

Good point on tix being better...and cheaper. If I were to go alone I'd buy the tickets at venue, from a desperate scalper trying to unload.

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.

You know, this is pretty harsh from someone who consistently posts which songs they are going to play/not play between the announcement of the tour and opening night...

I drove from Memphis to Dallas by myself to see a show.. Man up and head out. The memories will last a lot longer than the sting in your wallet.

Paying $70.00 for a ticket and traveling to 450 miles to see RUSH, Is well worth the cost! I would rather go on the road trip like that than see any other two band at $ 35.00 a ticket in my home town. Its about quality not quantity. RUSH hasn't even mentioned a date for south Florida and I didn't even hesitate to dish out the cash to go see them in Tampa. Yes its not 450 miles only 301 miles, but if it were 150 miles further I don't think I would have hesitated either. Dude, all I'm saying is man-up, bite the bullet, make a little get away out of it and Spend and Extra $70.00 for a date. You'll probably get some!   Its F*cking RUSH!     Its too far! I'll have to fill my tank up twice! I'll have to rent a room!     Its RUSH damn it! Not some bubble-gum, Fly By Night, Half-ass, no talented, here today gone tomorrow poser-band.   IT's RUSH!

QUOTE (Snaked @ Aug 5 2012, 04:31 PM) 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. I know other people going but I will be in my own section not with them. 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. Or, just plain not enjoying the show and acting bored. It sucks when you have someone putting a damper on the show. You don't have to worry about that if you're alone.

I don't think anyone should post a thread like this. Allowing other people to discuss your own personal issues, Allowing others to make up your mind? Influence your decision, finances, your desires. What the hell is that? If you think its to far, fine? Don't go, but don't put out there for eveyone to dissect? This is what you get when you do that! I understand this thread if he were asking for someone to go to the concert with him and since you decided to fight his battle for him you got sprayed with flac over it. Yeah I come accross a bit harsh sometimes, but I wasn't like this until I started posting here! Here you fight for your opinions or you get swallowed up. If people get offended. I suggest they visit theRushChronicles forum. They are way more civil and friendly there!
