Bad feeling about Indy show

I'm getting the feeling that the Indy show ticket situation is going to be similar to chicago 1 '09. Closest show to the large chicago fan base and the impression I am getting from numerous threads it sounds like lots and lots of people are planning on going.

Be prepared to be disappointed on seats again. Not that this is a bad thing but there shouldn't be any surprises this time. However I'm sure the bitching and complaining post show will no doubt arise again.

    I'd be more nervous about tickets selling out fast than the seats being worse than normal. I think with Chicago they worked out the deal to get way more than the normal TC allotment. Here its just going to be a lot of people trying because its the closest to anything west of, well, Indy (yes, Missouri counts too - but interest seems higher in this show being a Friday and much closer to IL/MI/MN/IA). :)

    There are 6000 seats in the pavilion and an estimated 18000 for the lawn area. As long as I'm in the pavilion again I'll be happy!

    isn't it possible they'll set up chairs and wire-tire them together for the GA seats? so there are more assigned seats?

    Not for the lawn - maybe that little pit area they use now, but they won't do that in the lawn... would sell way less tickets hat way.

    this new tour announcement method is flat out shit. very little advance notice... 10 dates at a time not giving any hint on future venuesI think they are purposely doing this to create ticket demand. meaning announce all the shows NOT Chicagoland now so you go buy all the off major market seats, heck even major market seats, in a month they announce some alpine dates etc AFTER you already shelled out the cash for Indy/St. Louis. I love seeing them, but they are making planning ahead almost impossible now-a-days.

    Sure you can save up, and I do, but you can easily blow your wad traveling thinking this is your only chance to see them in your region, then they throw out 3 more closer dates a month later. Not cool

    how hard is it to release the first leg with: a tentative dates to follow in Chicago, Milwaukee etc message below it?

    They've been crazy vague with tour dates since 2003 and to a certain extent even then... I guess I just roll with it.

    plus - we know they won't tour again until Aug/Sept and that's a massive IF. So there's a good 3 months in-between to replenish the funds I guess. :)
