I'll be going to the perth show....but it might be a while before i get a ticket with all the tours and stuff coming out of the woodwork for the end of the year...
Well, having seen The Wall tour twice last year (one 4th row center and one in the back of the venue) I can honestly say that it might just be the greatest rock concert I have ever seen. Of course, you truely have to love this album to pay the price of what these tix go for, but I will def go one more time when it comes around.

I am lucky enough to have seen the wall, dark side, and the Pink Floyd Division Bell tours and while obviously division bell was the best concert I will ever see... dark side was better than the wall.

Go ahead and change to title of this thread to include 2012 in it as well...
Roger Waters, the co-founder and principal songwriter of the archetypal progressive band Pink Floyd, has announced the return of the historic production of "The Wall" to North America in 2012. His aural and visual masterpiece of alienation and transformation will be performed in-its-entirety featuring a full band and state-of-the-art production. "The Wall" live has played more than 120 shows around the world for more than 1.6 million fans making it one of the most successful tours of 2010. Tickets for "The Wall" 2012 go on sale beginning on Monday, November 7th at LiveNation.com.
The 2012 tour will begin on May 1st in Houston, Texas at the Toyota Center making a 36 show trek throughout North America, including several outdoor stadium performances with state of the art modifications transforming the arena production into magnificent outdoor events. The tour, promoted by Live Nation, includes stadium stops in San Francisco at AT&T Park on May 11th, Vancouver at BC Place on May 26th, Chicago's Wrigley Field on June 8th, Toronto at Rogers Centre on June 23rd and Philadelphia at the Citizens Bank Park on July 14th.
"Thirty years ago when I wrote 'The Wall,' I was a frightened young man," Waters recalls. "In the intervening years it occurred to me that maybe the story of my fear and loss with its concomitant inevitable residue of ridicule, shame and punishment, provides an allegory for broader concerns: Nationalism, racism, sexism, religion, whatever! All these issues and 'isms are driven by the same fears that drove my young life."
Waters' first reinvented his iconic stage production of "The Wall" in 2010 utilizing modern day technological advances and special effects which have been embraced by audiences around the globe with countless sold out performances and multiple-night stands including a record-breaking 9 sold out shows at the River Plate Stadium in Buenos Aires, Argentina. "The Wall" remains one of the most influential albums in the history of recorded music with a profound effect on pop culture, resonating with multiple generations of music fans.
Prior to 2010, The Wall show was simply too large to contemplate a tour, but new arenas and advances in touring technology have solved that dilemma. Waters has updated the look and feel of the show to ensure it matches the astonishing theatrical extravaganza that The Wall's live incarnation became so legendary for - thus allowing yet another generation to be inspired by the grandeur of the breathtaking visual and aural spectacle. The 1980 original production of the "The Wall" had been performed live-in-its-entirety just 29 times during Pink Floyd's 1980 tour in support of the album and once in Berlin in celebration of the fall of the Berlin wall.
The Associated Press described opening night in 2010 with, "Roger Waters tore down the house Wednesday night in Toronto... He walked out to thunderous applause beginning with the first track of the seminal concept album, 'In the Flesh', and the adulation never stopped." While during the New York stop, the New York Post declared, "When Roger Waters finished building "The Wall" in its entirety, at Madison Square Garden, it was just another brick on what was the best arena concert I've ever been to. Period."
In addition to Roger Waters (lead vocals, bass), "The Wall" live touring ensemble includes: Snowy White (Guitar), Dave Kilminster (Guitar), GE Smith (Guitar & Bass), Jon Carin (Keyboards), Harry Waters (Hammond Organ), Graham Broad (Drums), Robbie Wyckoff (Vocals), Jon Joyce, Pat Lennon, Mark Lennon and Kipp Lennon (Backing Vocals).

i'll see it again at Wrigley if i can get a ticket for 50 bucks or less.
I'm considering Wrigley. For sure Loiusville, maybe Wrigley. I can't find prices for Wrigley and I assume they'll be a little bit more than a regular arena show.

considering what the prices were for the United Center, i'd say you are looking at close to 250 to be on the field. upon second thought...maybe not that....the first reg pricing tier for mccartney last summer was 163 + fee's and dropped as low as 40(?) for the worst seats
i'm going to wait until day of and see if i can get something cheap on stubhub or that sort of site.
demand for last summers show at the United Center was pretty weak for the the first night, and picked up as the weekend shows rolled around.

Gonna ask my dad if maybe he'd want to go to the NYC date! Floyd is one of his favorite bands and he regrets not having seen them back in the day. Never seen any members solo either, so this could be a cool opportunity, especially cuz he introduced me to Pink Floyd (even though I'm pretty sure my dad would much rather see Gilmour live) Regardless, it would be a cool concert to share!

i enjoyed it, but i don't think it's worth that sort of coin.
i signed up for the presale and when the pricing came out, i laughed. totally gouging. that said, i would expect it to be a little more costly than a normal concert since they have so much extra shit to hall around.
He's play in Austin in May, I'll do what I always do now, go to the box office the day of the show and buy a ticket for face value with no service fees..........
I love CBP and love Pink Floyd, so July 14 in Philly is a no brainer. Also saw Roger Waters "Pro's and Con's of Hitchhiking" at Meadowlands (with Slowhand on guitar) and at Coachella . He is a consummate showman to be sure.
I must say this will be different from my previous time hearing Pink Floyd music in an outdoor stadium venue . That was July 24, 1968 at JFK Stadium . The Who, Pink Floyd , and The Troggs. I was 9.
