Aikenrooster Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I hope to make this one, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted January 24, 2015 Share Posted January 24, 2015 I should be going to this one. Too bad it's not Raleigh though. However, I saw my first Rush concert at the Greensboro Coliseum - the Power Windows tour, April 22nd, 1986 with Blue Oyster Cult opening. Great first concert!

Aikenrooster Posted January 30, 2015 Share Posted January 30, 2015 Hope to see you there CT. We got tickets in the lower bowl (sec 108), so my wife would be up off the floor a little bit. Woo Hoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Definitely. I'm waiting for the public sale though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aikenrooster Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 Definitely. I'm waiting for the public sale though.When I went to the Charotte show, last time, I bought tickets the day of the show, and they were on the side, so you might get lucky and can sort of be on that side section, if you're OK with sitting there. You are probably losing a little sound, but you get to see the band up close. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlc Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 So In. My whatever number show BUT my sons (12 years old) second show. The first one I think went by SOO fast for him that it was somewhat of a blur. He is psyched!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 The tickets we got back waaaay back in 1986 were no more than $35.00 to $50.00 per person, at least for what we paid. We had floor seats about 15 to 20 rows from the stage. That was back when getting tickets to a show was far less complicated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrinx Priest Posted January 31, 2015 Share Posted January 31, 2015 So In. My whatever number show BUT my sons (12 years old) second show. The first one I think went by SOO fast for him that it was somewhat of a blur. He is psyched!!! Same except it will be my son's (12 also) 3rd show (Time Machine in Greensboro and Clockwork in Raleigh)Will wait for the public sale looking to get front half of lower bowl/half way up or so. Flying to Austin (not with my son) got 2nd Row there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tskidmore Posted February 2, 2015 Share Posted February 2, 2015 I'll be seeing this show, got my tix last Friday... Coming from Virginia Beach. I have not been to this venue before, is there a good meeting place nearby? I have fond memories of the Irish bar near the Charlotte venue a couple years back, was great to be able to stay out after the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iglehart Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 I am also attending and looking to hang out before hand at a pub. I am in the same situation, my wife is not a fan and I would love to take my son but he is only 6. He is way to young for this kind of concert, plus his bed time is around 7pm, therfore I will be going alone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mlc Posted February 6, 2015 Share Posted February 6, 2015 In!! Got tickets today....they are selling WELL!!! I guess everyone thinks this might be it. The last time they were in Greensboro we went to a great little place with GOOD food. Let me look and see if I can find it. I think it was a mile or two from the coliseum.

John V Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I got two tickets on the floor, Geddy side, 20th row.I need lodging and dining suggestions.There are several motel/hotels right at the venu or with a mile or so. But the reviews are scaring me.I guess I should bite the bullet yet once more, but spending alot on a room for one night seems, well seems stupid.We are about 4 hours away.

John V Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 Greensboro can be a scary place, no doubt. Sarcasism or truth? I have never been to Greensboro. So, are you just kidding me or is it a bad place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
circumstantial tree Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 You'll be fine, but it does have a fair amount of crime, yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be getting a room in Greensboro. I don't like Greensboro, because the people are terrible drivers. They will cut you off and try to get you to hit them.

I'll be getting a room in Greensboro. I don't like Greensboro, because the people are terrible drivers. They will cut you off and try to get you to hit them. We are about as far away as you. There are several places to stay very close to the venue.We will drive over the day of the show, get cleaned up and a little rest then off to the concert. We will head home the next morning.Marriot Courtyard looks like the best place to stay? Costs more for sure. Where are your seats? Narpski is in SC, but I have not heard him say if he is going or not.Hey Narpski! You going? One question. Greensboro has bad drivers? Whats that supposed to mean? I mean we have bad drivers here to.

Aikenrooster Posted February 18, 2015 Share Posted February 18, 2015 No, Narpski said he wasn't going, but I will keep begging him to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
geddysgal13 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I thought narpski was going. He was going to drive up from Myrtle beach. My husband, myself and two friends are driving from charlotte. It's about a 2 hour drive. Hope to meet some of you there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tskidmore Posted February 24, 2015 Share Posted February 24, 2015 I remember the meetup at Fitzgeralds in Charlotte last tour, it was great- anything like that near the Venue? We are coming from Virginia Beach that afternoon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
