Slash + Myles Kennedy

[redrock]

$90! Wow... £30 here....

[Suziemay]

:lol: I was so excited to receive my e-mail from the new (tiny) theater right by my house that they'll be playing there on a Saturday night in August. Then clicked to look at prices - $90 with charges? Sorry, can't justify that. Oh, well. That seems overpriced for them to me for this band (even in this small a venue). I guess I'll pass and hope everyone that wants in, gets in (which at this price, I can't imagine would be a problem). If anyone wants the Venue early on sale password for the Paramount in Huntington, PM me.

Funny side note - that's about what G 'n R was priced at for Roseland, and I didn't even think twice about it(and it was worth every penny and then some).

Seriously? That's a shame.

I paid $62/ticket for the NYC Irving Plaza show, and that included $10 for VIP Fast Lane and $12.50 TM service charge.

~$55 to see them in Moncton, New Brunswick and Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Full disclosure - there are $52 tickets, also. But, kind of silly that the top level is the same as other top acts. I'm not even sure I'd pay that to sit in the back.

At Irving, it is interesting that the floor is the cheaper price vs. Loge which is $85. I've never been there, so I'm not understanding that. If Paramount is the same where floor is cheaper than the seats in the back, then maybe it's not quite as bad. I guess you pay more to stay out of the crowd? I'll have to see once they go on sale. You can't tell which seats are which price until the go on sale (I could call, but it's not that important).

Yeah, I didn't get that either. And if you did "Best Available", the floor tickets came up every single time. I think the Loge is "better" only if you are right by the rail and close to the stage but it feels removed from the concert to me. And there might be stools for you to sit on. I think this is typically the VIP area for friends & family (and if you pass out and a kind bouncer takes pity on you )

I got floor for this show + VIP fast lane. I'm going to try to get up close for this one Why the hell not!

Yep. If you're going to do it, no sense standing in the back. But, I don't think you'll get right to the front. Fast lane just lets you skip the line. You don't get in early. It's more to allow you to hang out at a bar until doors open and still get to the head of the line. Also, there are probably actual VIP tickets for folks that will get a "head start." But, no matter. When I went to GnR at Roseland, I was able to get about 6 deep from the stage and I didn't even go in until after the opener had started and didn't go to the front until just before they came on.

I can't imagine the Slash crowd could be much rougher than GnR (some interesting folks there).

I also agree about the loge stuff. Most places like that you are above the stage, but slightly removed. Other than if you need the bathroom constantly, I don't see the point of that (and then pay extra!!! - so I do wonder if it's the same thing at this place. The Paramount is so new, and I've only been to 1 show and the floor was reserved seating which is rare).

Well, the $ is weak right now. Isn't 30 about $50 or so in the US? So, that sounds like the "cheap" seats here.

You really know how to break a girl's heart.

I'm not sure. Irving may be different. Check and see if there are separate VIP tickets for that show. I've just seen it for other stuff, and that's the way it works. To break your heart further - I don't know if they limit those. So, the Fast lane may be as long as the regular (I kid. I kid.). I'm sure it'll still be worth it. Standing in line sucks. If I could pay $10 to bypass everytime I stood in a long line in my life, I'd be a poorer, but happier man!

If there were, it's not being publicized publicly. I wouldn't shell out for VIP tickets anyway, I think that's a load of horse shit. $10 to bypass something seems worth it. Or maybe just a very good way to make additional cash!

Plus, I only want to be near them, I don't want to meet them, I would probably pass out at the sight of Myles' abs

[Stardog3..]

Just realized I'm seeing them next weekend at Rock on the Range in Ohio! Not realizing Myles Kennedy was on the new album and just finding it out earlier today got me even more excited (I was really going to just see Incubus)!!!!! Plus I got $20 GA tickets which are normally $100 for the weekend =

And they say Axl's living off his work from 20 years ago. This is for a guy who's last album sold 13 copies (disclaimer: Count inexact. We may have missed 1 or 3). Who's the suckers that are buying those things?

[Suziemay]

Can't wait to see these guys next week! I'm listening to Promise which features Chris Cornell. It would be so fantastic if he made an appearance. Technically possible because he doesn't have any shows scheduled, but I'm not going to hold my breath.

[iluvcats]

mine were $35 each. I bought 2, with fees = $89. they were the third band and it was a work night. we timed it perfectly. we walked into the venue when they came on stage
