I might go catch them in Irvine again.

Giantrobo

Yeah Irvine and The Forum sound like a must go shows.

Supermallet

Yeah, except I hate the Forum. So Irvine it is.

Lateralus

Well I'm in for Holmdel, NJ; it will be a nice 4 day weeked but a long ass drive home. I will also try for a good seat in Toronto and Pittsburgh, if I score a good seat I will plan my vacation around it.

SmackDaddy

Don't forget, this is just a "small" tune up tour. They plan on coming around again next year in support of a new album....and I'll be there for that one too!

Jason

The Pittsburgh show will be in the new Consol Energy Center. It's a shame they couldn't have landed the inaugural gig, but that honor goes to lady freakin' gaga.

Lateralus

Yeah that is the main reason why I want to go to Pittsbugh. Did they announce that Lady Gaga will have the first show? I'm hoping somebody more deserving slips in before her.

Rush missed opening up the Giant Center in Hershey by a couple days, the honor when to Cher... Bah!

dsa_shea

Rush in Tulsa = I'm there!

Lateralus

Rush VIP tickets are going to be on sale:

See Rush as a VIP!

. Set of official Rush guitar picks

Wonder how much these are going to be?

Pre-sale for my tickets are on Tuesday!

cdollaz

Meh. I'd consider a VIP thing if it was something cool, but I have much interest in that stuff. Maybe the DVD, but that cd is a joke, and most of that other stuff would be looked at once and thrown in a closet.

The Infidel

For the price that all that VIP stuff probably goes for, they can keep all that crap and be ready to pony up with some serious backstage man-hugs from the band themselves. If I were to pay that kind of money, the LEAST they could do is provide a brief meet-and-greet.

Giantrobo

VIP for me = Meeting the Band and hangin' out for more than 5 min.

Jason

It was the first thing announced. They haven't even installed the seating yet, so I doubt anything plays in there before September.

Dan

No dates in western Canada = huge disappointment. Especially for a Canadian band...

Lateralus

Well Presale went up for the NJ show I was thinking about going to... $156.00 + $16.00 per ticket! That is a little too steep for my blood, espcially for seats 30+ rows from the stage; I'm thinking we will try the Allentown Fairgrounds next to see how much they cost.

VIP tickets are going for $300.00 - $350.00

Phodg

Chicago was $95 and $135 plus fees in the presale. I think that's too much for me, too. Shame.

anomynous

In KC the cheapest tickets are $50

Lateralus

Well I got fairly good seats to the PNC Bank Arts Center show but after I purchased my tickets I looked at the receipt and they were OBSTRUCTED VIEW SEATS!!!! WTF! I promptly called Ticketmaster back and got a refund but no other good seats were to be had.

So now we are going after the Jiffy Lube Live Amphitheater Show in D.C.

Giantrobo

RUSH tix have been very expensive since what, the '90's? Wasn't that when they started doing the long shows?

Lateralus

I never paid over $100.00, but that was at Scranton and Hershey; they ain't anywhere close to any of those so I have to go South of NYC or D.C and I think that explains the 80% increase in the cost of tickets.

cdollaz

For at least the last 3 tours, tickets have been around $100 before fees in Houston. That's for reserved seats. Not sure about lawn.

KnightLerxst

I think I paid around 120 or 130 to see them at Nissan (Jiffy Lube Live) back in 08. Just picked up tickets to see them in Minn since I have a place to crash out there. Tix for that show are 70 bucks a pop.

bearkiss

I just got amazing seats during the citi credit card presale for columbus ohio... going there because I prefer to see them in an indoor setting instead of outdoor amphitheater... tickets were $52, $72, and $92 and I opted for the $72 (after fees a pair was $168) very happy!

Lateralus

Scored a VIP seat for Toronto at the Air Canada Centre, 3rd row center! I have always wanted to see them in Toronto so now is my chance.

Jiffy Lube is next!

Lateralus

One more thing, according to a interview with Geddy Lee they will be playing 2 new songs this tour and one of them called Caravan.
