That's awesome. Ticket prices? Part of a tour or just a one-off thing? Figured someone would have heard of it before now if it was a tour.

jfc that's cheap at student prices and downright reasonable for non's. I can't imagine it'll get filled for the concert tho.

They're doing a quarter round, which is 3,500 seats.  I've been to a lot of Ben Folds shows and this seems about right for his crowd.  I think I'm going to go.  Maybe take off the last two days of work before my spring break.

i'm thinking mccain would be a better option for this right.

The floor will be standing room only, I'm guessing, right?

[SkinnyBenny]

I don't know, I actually checked on this and am waiting on an answer.  As for McCain, it only seats about 2100, I think.  So UPC wanted the extra 1000 seats.  Plus, rock concerts in McCain-type venues are....meh.

[SkinnyBenny]

I think the floor seats are going to be in chairs.

[Saulbadguy]

[SkinnyBenny]

Sometimes he plays Hava Nagila.

Yeah, that's my excuse for not going too

[j-vonfeldt]

Did anybody get tickets this morning?

Mine are in row 7 on the floor but they sold out soon after that which surprised me because they usually have quite a bit of floor seating.

[raquetcat]

Yeah I got a ticket in the "gold ring" (very elite) row 5, I thought I might be able to see a little better higher up. I work with someone on the upc council, she said they might open up more tickets if they sell out.

right after ben went solo i went w/ some people and saw him play at a bar in westport. that was cool because it wasn't some huge arena or something. anyway, we were standing just behind/above the tshirt selling stand for the whole show. decent place to stand but kinda in the back. towards the end of the show and after a couple of drinks we realized that we could prolly just help ourselves to tshirts if we wanted to, so we did. took about ten shirts. then after the show a friend had ben sign the back of his drivers license as an organ donor witness. that's all i've got.

Row 5. Suck it, Newshound.

[SkinnyBenny]

Like I said, as of now it's only a quarter round, so there won't be that much seating anywhere, really.  So section 8 is kinda near or in the horseshoe where the old people sit for EMAW games, right? 

RickDaris: Holy crap! That's awesome.  Was that the show at the Beaumont Club in '02?  I was there.  But I paid for a shirt.    If I had known that nine years later I would be internet associates with a merch thief I would've joined this board way sooner.  

Who do you work with, RacquetCat?

I actually had row 3, but I was an idiot and backed out to see where the "gold ring" tickets were since I wasn't sure if I really wanted floor seats (girlfriend is pretty short).  Anyways, 2 minutes later i was back to row 7, and yes, I was pretty pissed at myself.

We should probably get really high out in the parking lot beforehand.

yeah, that was the show. thought it was a really good one. love watching shows in places like that but unless we're talking def lep in 1989, bramlage can gtfoomf ya know?

[SkinnyBenny]

I was at Def Lep in '91 for the Adrenalize tour.  Wish I had been at the Hysteria one in '89 but I was in like first grade.  I was, however, mature enough to handle the Lep in '91.

And gtfoomf?  Why don't YOU gtfoomtf?  Soul Asylum in 1996 was the bomb.

that '89 def lep show was like a watershed moment for my mhs class on '93. 90% of people arrived at the school the next day wearing def leppard shirts. i was one of the cool 5% w/ an la guns one. asking someone from my class about this is prob like asking someone really old what they were doing when they found out that kennedy had been shot. a few years ago i was going through some insanely old stuff of mine and found the ticket (mint condition).

instantly put in my wallet behind my drivers license and now use it to freak other 93'ers out. they're all "gmafb! no seriously...GMAFB! wtf, how do you have that? bro, come check out what daris has! ridic daris absolutely ridic. gmafb w/ this. amazing bro."
