sitboaf Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 The only other thing I can personally to compare it to is the show on September 14, 2010 in Boston. I would estimate that crowd at 10 to 15% women. The Manchester show had probably double that, maybe 25-30% women. It's an understatement to say that I'm pleasantly surprised. I know the band received recent attention from the movie and new album, which generated a new crop of fans, but wow. Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WCFIELDS Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 was the arena full? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Territorial_Game Posted September 8, 2012 Share Posted September 8, 2012 On one of the S&A tour shows, there was a gorgeous girl about my age right next to me. That was a one-time surprise. I'd be curious to see a survey taken asking those women if they were there for themselves or out of obligation to a husband/boyfriend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitboaf Posted September 8, 2012 Author Share Posted September 8, 2012 QUOTE (WCFIELDS @ Sep 8 2012, 12:32 AM)was the arena full? There weren't any empty seats on the floor, and no more than a few on the first level up. Up at the top of the 2nd level, there were a few empties. I would guess the stadium was about 95% full.

Shortly before the show started I went online to look for tickets, just to see if there was anything good still available, and it said ticklets weren't available. Don't know what that means. BTW...It's nice to hear the line to the mens room will be shorter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will be attending my first Rush show this year (one of two), not out of obligation but out of sheer desire to see as many shows as I can!

Deckiller Posted September 9, 2012 Share Posted September 9, 2012 (edited) Another thing I noticed is that all the girls seemed to LOVE the concert and the setlist; the only people who were complaining and whining were the dudes. I think this setlist is very female friendly, with songs like SPOILERS ... Grand Designs, Halo Effect, The Garden, etc. ... ...
