NaturalScientist75 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 What were the best seats you ahd for a RUSH show? What tour? What venue? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snaked Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I've been front row several times over the years. First time was on the P/g! tour in Saginaw, Michigan.. it was a G.A. show and quite honestly, I was miserable but it was worth it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calirush Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 How do you follow that? ^ I took my son the the S&A Tour and had fifth row center at Concord Pavilion, CA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CygnusGal Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Once general admission went away, 4th row in front of Geddy, S&A 2008, Mansfield MA (Great Woods/Tweeter/Comcast/whatever-they-call-it-these-days). Always Geddy's side. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Dudad Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Front row (Alex's side), Chicago Time Machine tour...the rain make-up date. Got a 2nd row ticket via StubHub a week before the show, got to the venue and made friends with a group of guys in the front row who had an extra ticket (!). They gave me their extra ticket, security gave me a wristband, and I enjoyed the show at the front rail. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EagleMoon Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 I got up within about 6 ft. of the stage on the Moving Pictures tour, but that was general admission. Since then I've not been closer than 5th row, though I keep hoping. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J2112YYZ Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 First row right in front of Alex on the Time Machine tour in Syracuse, NY. I got two tickets for my brother and I off StubHub and paid way more for them then I'm comfortable telling anybody. Still, worth it though :rush: :Alex: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 4th row on s&a and time machine, birth times center. But I caught a shirt when I was 11 rows back at MSG on the the TM tour. That was awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edm2112 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 1st row near center (more towards Alex) at the Bridgestone in Nashville on this tour, beyond epic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushfrom91 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 3rd row towards Geddy at Newark current tour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citizen of the World Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Front row several times but that was in the old days of festival seating: October 1976 ATWAS tour (with Max Webster) in VancouverNovember 1978 Hemispheres tour in Vancouver and VictoriaMarch 1980 Permanent Waves tour in Vancouver and Victoria Nothing closer than 6th row since festival seating ended.

RushBoingo Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 8th row in winnipeg at the far end on geddy's side on the clockwork angels tour, though it does not sound that special compared to first row, the couple in front of me was older and actually sat the entire show, and being only 5'6 it was a dream come true compared to the other show I saw where I had to keep bobbing back and forth to catch glimpses of the band. I could see Geddy with ease, Alex almost always, and almost the entire string section (the two middle violinists were partially covered), only problem with the seats, most of the time Neil's head was behind a symbol, but I did see him make a funny face at alex, so thats good enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
byoungjr Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Front row in front of Alex at Hershey Stadium on the Snakes & Arrows tour. I lucked out getting that ticket. A few days before the show I was checking Ebay to see if there were any decent tickets available and lo and behold...there was one front row ticket going for face value. I was shocked. The seller couldn't make the show and decided not to over charge for the ticket even know he could have. I purchased it, rocked out in front of Alex, and thanked the seller, who was quite happy it went to a die hard Rush fan. Front row was something else... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 2nd row right in front of Lifeson for the Counterparts tour. That was NOT general admission and I still only paid something like 30-35 bucks. For the Roll The Bones tour I got nearly the same spot except that it was the 4th row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HalfwayToGone Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Depending on your point of view... 4th row dead center TM Allentown was probably the best, but the last two shows (b'more and AC) I was 2nd row on Alex's side near the end of the stage or closer to his mic depending which show. I also got moved to the 2nd row for just the last few songs and encore at R30 in Holmdel just to the left of Geddy, but that was again only for a very small part of the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheWK90 Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Front row, right in front of Alex. Clockwork Angels Tour. 9/11/12 Pittsburgh, PA. Consol Energy Center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NaturalScientist75 Posted May 14, 2013 Author Share Posted May 14, 2013 3rd row directly in front of Geddy last year in Brooklyn. Had second row a few times (both Alex and Geddy sides) but seats were far off to the side. 7th row at PNC a few tours ago, 3 seats from the edge, but the stage juts way out there. I could touch the stage. At one point I could have grabbed Alex's leg, literally. Very unusual place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gangsterfurious Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 Got VIP to San Diego in November and ended up being the girl right in front of the beautiful Mr. Lee and his mic. I can now die happy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnny Gilbert Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 10th row at Red Rocks. S & A tour 2007. Anything in the first 15 or so rows at that place is like having them in your living room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaminbenb Posted May 14, 2013 Share Posted May 14, 2013 VT tour at Scranton...7th row center...only problem was it was aisle and the d-bag security people kept asking me for my ticket to make sure I was supposed to be there...so I told them I wanted to talk to their supervisor at intermission and ripped him a holy new one! S&A show at Hershey Stadium...6th row, center-ish on Geddy's side awesome seats! ANd oddly enough I had side seats for the CA tour in Philly last year...the seats were a great vantage point, BUT...we had access to the private bar all night! life was GOOD! (different reasons, but hey, it was all good!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
