I have the same plan you do, get there early. Last time I waited until after the show to buy merchandise and the largest shirt they had was a medium. I won't make that mistake this time !!!
I'll be pre-gaming in the VIP parking ..... it costs a few bucks more but it's much easier to get in and out of.
I have a smile on my face that just won't go away !!!! I can't wait for the show !!!

I'll be right behind ya' dude! Section 303 Row F. Don't stand up and block my view, or else I'll make you sit down!!!

I'm a complete dumbass and forget the tickets went on sale Saturday morning. I didn't remember until the late afternoon. There were closer seats available, but they were on the fringes. I like to stay in the center. I live closer to the Tweeter Center in Camden, NJ, but by the time tickets actually went on sale all that was left was the lawn. I refuse to get an American Express card just for better seats. I hate them and Ticketmaster. This "pre-sale" B.S. needs to stop. It makes me sick.

Sorry for the rant. At least I'm gonna finally get to see Roger in concert. It's one of those things on my list to do before I die. Now if I could only get to see him, David, Rick, and Nick on a farewell tour I could check another thing off that list. Can't wait till September!

My outrageous amount of insulating hair and Medditerranean heritage are cursing themselves now, you know.

But my equipment is so bad, I think I might just hope someone with a better seat records it

Well, unless someone tells me what kind of equipment to use, I wont do it. Also, I am not about to get thrown out of the damn concert just because I'm recording it. So you'll have to find someone else to record it.

Also, I don't see why people dislike presales of tickets. Maybe you should get an AMEX anyway, as they have the best promotional offers and such by far. It's just free-market capitalism; those who are able and willing to pay more garner better services and goods. That's incentive to get an AMEX right there: you got nosebleed seats because of it. I suppose the "Well, I'm still at the concert" buisness is alright, because you are going, as opposed to not going, but in this case, the opportunity cost actually outweighs your choice by far. In short: You were screwed.

By the way, how much did they gig you for the tickets, anyway?

****EDIT******
Roger Waters is also playing at a venue in PA, just letting you know...

Well, thirty bucks plus a ten-dollar convenience fee (?) for one general-admission lawn seat. Thank god for Mr. Sheet and the Pavillion's house-screens.
Out of curiosity, how bad a view is it from the lawn? Is the venue flat, ascending from lawn to stage, or (preferably) descending? I might need to bring a footstool, possibly stilts.

Call Gene Simmons. I'm sure he has a pair of shoes you can borrow.

Woah, Center Lawn isn't bad at all! (Certainly miles better seats than, say, the McCartney show I was at). I guess I'll grab some binoculars, though.

Since I'm listening to "Veteran of the Psychic Wars", I have to say, I would give anything to have BOC tour in the US. Man, that would kick ass to see them live, ohhh man (having a joygasm at the prospect).

Man, it's a pity I won't be home for Summerfest; Foreigner, Styx, and BOC all at one venue within days of each other. More proof to the point that Milwaukee is the single greatest city ever to grace the face of this Earth.

My dad was actually working for Thebarton council at the time, and had some input on setting up the concert. He got back-stage passes and briefly met the band. He was allowed to go anywhere to watch it

Foreigner without the voice Lou Gramm is DEAD! Styx without the voice and keyboards of Dennis DeYoung is DEAD too! BOC I don't care.
