Judging from the other venues my guess is the Dream theater ticks will range from 40-70 bucks. Is dar all seats or is there a general admission floor? Id expect there to be a general admission floor.

That Apes addition on 4/4 has me considering Deadmau5 on friday although danceclubs start to annoy me really quickly. Never been to fur, though.

Awesome! I'm there. What a nice way to finish the last week of my last semester of PhD coursework!

if you didn't get the latest IMP email, DT tickets are $44.

(and should I be sad that in the giant wallotext above I really didn't recognize bands…)

I'm amazed that New Pornographers tickets sold out already, even with the lengthy soft sale. Didn't the October shows last a good 4-5 days? That was with the whole crew, too (definitely no Bejar this time, at least).
