    For anyone who hasn't been to a show here parking is ridiculously expensive. You can buy ahead and save a few dollars but I went to a show this year and I think it was almost 40 bucks 
    40? That's nothing...LA is over 60!

    I know I was going to ask if 40 was just the deposit.

    Paying anything to park at an arena that's been around for years is too much IMO. It's $17 for NC State basketball games and 40 for concerts.

    Put in for both nights (will take our son if I am picked). Wife is looking forward to a quite Mother's day alone.  lol

    AND I get to sleep in my own bed those nights!
    I put in for the May 11 show for my Wife and myself but I have been feeling super guilty because I really want to take my Son with us (16) and we could only put in for 2 tickets. I have never been to a live show (been a fan since Ten). I am not really sure if I should cancel and then hope I can get 3 tickets side by side on the artist presale or not. I really do not want to miss this opportunity. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

    If you can float the money, maybe do the 10c sale and then try for 3 at the artist presale and then sell the 10c tickets when F2F starts.

    I could do that....if its an option. So basically if am able to score tix with 10c I can sell them back for what I paid and then get 3 seats together with artist presale.  I don't think I would have trouble doing F2F sale, right?

    The other thing I thought of was maybe my wife and I go first night and then all 3 of us go second night? Idk lol I'm tossin' ideas honestly.

    Definitely try to get the lottery first. The artist presale will likely be a nightmare if it is anything like it has been in terms of long queues and then tickets disappearing before your very eyes.

    Just entered for night 2. Not 100% sure I can make it, but I also don't know if/when they'll be around here again. I figure I have to take at least one shot at anything within a 4 hour drive... I've always thought I'd like to hit the 10 show count. Maybe this will be it!

    I'm toying with the idea of driving from MA to Raleigh and then Pittsburgh (and then back to MA). But I'd like to not do this alone. Any takers?

    The other day I took a video of my 2 year old singing along to React, Respond. Later I saw this announcement. Merry Christmas to me. I’m in for both… and I’ll find him a t-shirt.

    I have 3 different hotel rooms booked for these shows.  😂 Just covering all the bases depending on which show we do or if we end up doing both.

    Not close to downtown. You'll need to drive or uber it.
