Me either. It looks like they will do it in other cities, but those cities don't have anything on sale yet. I wonder if this is a flub for DC, or if we don't get the option. I guess I'll find out on Saturday.
I got ORCH Row G Seat 12. Not too bad. The seats my friend got thru the presale for night 2 are a lot worse, but I'm the only one crazy enough to go both nights. I guess there is no 2 day pass for dc?
ORCH Row O one night, ORCH Row Q the other. Aisle seats both times. Not great seats, but the sound is usually better in the middle of the floor, so it should be good.
What's the view like from the boxes at DAR? Seems like it would be blocked.
ORCH Row L, left side for Tuesday
ORCH Row Q, right/center for Wednesday

I had ORCH Row B for Tuesday but it gave away my tickets because I was looking for both shows simultaneously. Bonehead move by me.

Either way, I'm excited to be there. Hopefully Billy goes deep into the catalog for these shows.

Billy's kinda screwed if he does, screwed if he doesn't. If he plays a 2007 greatest hits set, hardcore fans will complain the show is a retread. If he does a 2008 set with deep cuts, 80% of the people will complain he's being indulgent.


Songs I want to hear on this tour we haven't heard since reformation: Tristessa, Snail, Jellybelly, Porcelina, Thru The Eyes Of Ruby, Soma, Geek USA, Luna, Bodies, For Martha, Cherry.

Obviously depends which box you have, but the ones in the front half of the building are a really good view, in my experience. I would've loved box seats.

I couldn't buy tickets today because I need to put plans together first but I checked earlier to see what was best available, and it was box 29, closer to the back than the front. I searched again for tier seats and found some that were pretty good, so I'm not sure which I would pick.

It's a nonissue though, cuz at the rate this is coming along, there will only be crap seats left by the time I know how many tickets need to be bought. :roll:
$60 for this? Who do they think they are? Brian Wilson???
if anyone has an extra or ends up with an extra in the decent seats .. plz let me know. i was out of town during all this.

love you kids :)

Why is there a waiver/release? Incase the band kills you furing the $300 meet and greet? Is the exclusive gift poisoned?

Wildcard, bitches!
I always see these VIP packages and instantly think the "I" must stand for "Idiot".
so…do anyone know @ what time should the show start?
Doors open at 7pm. Show starts at 8pm. DAR usually starts on time.

Anyone in the College Park/Silver Spring area need a ticket for tonight? I have Orchestra Left, Row HH, Seat 9 for face value. PM me if you're interested.
I wonder if they will play rat in a cage.

despite all their rage, i bet they will.
reading this thread makes me really long for when my favourite band breaks up, loses half its members, then comes back 5 years later and continues to tour incessantly for years on end.

because right now they only tour once every 4 fucking years.
