    I had to pass on the Toronto show since I'm trying to save money. I looked at my concert expenses for the year and I've spent far too much already. Of course if there are still tickets available closer to the date of either the Toronto or Hamilton shows I may change my mind.

    I see they still have the CD for the March 5, 2007 Chicago show. It's a good one. The DVD sold out a long time ago.

    Thanks for the tip, will go check it out, those prices are hard to resist! :D

    Most of the shows I have are from the UK/Euro tours, (London (x4), Birmingham, Cardiff & Isle Of Wight all from 2004, plus Bristol, Locarno and Madrid from 2006 are all favourites) Though I do have a couple of US shows from 2002 (Irvine and LA)...
    Boston and Atlanta 2006 were good shows too.

    For an unusual one, try Oklahoma City 2007. It was the first show after they cancelled some dates due to Roger getting the flu. His voice sounds pretty ragged but they do a few things you don't usually get to hear including Roger singing part of Ring of Fire.

    Fortunately, now that he's working with a doctor, his voice sounds great. :mrgreen:

    Like I said, there is ALWAYS a ticket.

    Yeah, and I sincerely doubt I'm going to let myself miss both of those shows. One maybe, but not both. I mean, this is the FREAKING WHO we're talking about.

    Another unusual one is Chicago (September 2006). I was at the show, and while Roger's vocal problems are tough to listen to, they led to him having to leave the stage and put Pete in charge of singing "My Generation" (which was a very cool experience on its own). Roger made it back in time for "Won't Get Fooled Again," and sounded much better than he had all night; apparently, he had an allergic reaction to something and went backstage to inhale an aerosol form of Benadryl, which opened his throat back up. He still showed no fear in letting loose the primal scream at the end of "Won't Get Fooled Again," which was a relief for the crowd after his disappearance.

    I bought one of the VIP packages for the Denver show. 4th row Pete side. My favorite band playing my favorite album. I'm pretty freakin psyched!

    Roger used to get real problems with people smoking in the venues adversely affecting his voice, thankfully that's a thing of the past now. Over the 3 x London Forum shows in 2004, his voice gets steadily worse, as a result of this, with the third show having to be cut short...

    Saw Roger perform Tommy last year and he was in great voice, he was performing a Johnny Cash medley at some shows, but the one I saw (Bristol) didn't get it...

    Close up on Pete's side is almost perfect. Try to get him pissed off during the sound check and you should have a great show! :lol:

    loved how they threw "the kids are allright" into the setlist for this show. It had been 31 yrs since the who had played Oklahoma. This show was a lot lighter on the "endless wire" material, but you are right, really unique show.

    So do I spend $700 for 2 tickets 11th row, in Detroit?

    Decisions
    Decisions

    Speedy, I just checked and I think a better route would be to grab a couple of seats in section 121, row 8....there's a block of like 5 of them there (including aisle seats) and they can be had for $143.50 each.....it amounts to being like 5 rows back from where you'd be on the floor but a better vantage point in my opinion (and on Pete's side)....let me know, I scored a 3rd row single in section 120 beside it for the same price...can't wait!!! :D
    Funny...

    2 months later and these seats in Sec. 121 were/are still available?

    Oh well...
    IM IN!!!!!!!!!!!

    Detroit here I come!!!!
    Take me piece by piece.....

    Buying tickets is just mind boggling.

    After the early buying frenzy, I think there hasn't been much activity. It'll pick up when the tour starts and people start reading reviews. I look for LOTS of ticket drops from those unsold VIP packages.

    Yeah, I agree.
    TONS of tickets in the nose bleeds still available, at least for Detroit.

    Tons of tickets left for the Chicago shows too.

    People just cant afford $150-$300 a ticket?

    Well, the $300 is for the VIP, right? I'm not willing to spend that just to get some swag, drinks and munchies before the show.

    The prices for tickets are a little lower than the last tour. Course after you add all the "fees" they still are pricey. Those $130 tickets came to about $150. I'm going with my sister and brother-in-law to their first Who show and they didn't want to wait to buy tickets. I understand that and we got decent ones.

    The other show I'm going to, I plan to wait until the day of to buy tickets.
