    We need PJ themed "Terrible Towels" for the Pittsburgh shows
    I'll bring my REAL Terrible Towel!!
    This is a good idea, perhaps I will as well.

    How many people are planning to visit Kennywood on the Saturday in-between shows?
    My wife and I are planning to go. It looks like a good time. 
    Yeah, I was looking at it today, plus I think I get discounted tix through my employer... and since I'm going solo to these shows, I may spring for the fast lane pass (or whatever they call it there).

    I would love to be able to afford that. But honestly, they weren’t great seats.
    They were not but not great seats are better than no seats, I guess.
    With the way all things are going here in US spending that kind of $$ for a 2.5  hour show is not worth going into debt....
    I'm deep in debt for four shows at face value...
    I can’t believe people are incurring debt to travel to a concert 🤦‍♂️ 
    Maybe it's really important to them. Don't judge.

    No, going to concerts, never mind travelling to them, is a convenience or a luxury.  “Really important” is if someone has to go into debt due to necessary home renovation, health issue because they can’t work, etc.  
    People going into debt to travel to see multiple shows in 2025 is silly, foolish.

  • Really important for mental health.

    I really don’t think it’s anyone’s business to determine how someone else uses their money or what they deem as important.

    For the past 3 years I’ve saved up time off and some money for only PJ shows, it’s what gets me off. When I make the reservations and buy tickets, I’m going into debt. That debt is paid off within a few months. And it’s worth every penny every time….except maybe Indy last year 😂

    Thank you guys for the support. Yes, I'm going into major debt but going to these concerts is important to me for reasons I may have partially explained elsewhere on this forum. Not sure why anyone would judge me for something they really don't understand (and don't seem to want to).

    No judgement here, I literally only spend my money and time off on this. Can’t imagine we have too many more years of even making the choice to go or not.
