I dunno. Was pretty friggin happy to hear 'Happy' in Anaheim... knew it was coming, but as Exile is my favorite album of all time, pretty much? Wow.

I literally wore Depends to the Prince show at the Grove in case I got a good spot and didn't want to move. worked out fairly well...

You know we've had hockey in Nashville since 1962, right? We love having fans from other teams come to town and spend their money. I'm told it's one of the better away trips in the League, since we have Lower Broad with a lot of bars and juke joints right outside the arena. It's just that fans of most other teams don't get there at 8 AM and drink all day before t

I had bought one additional ticket in addition to my 85s and it worked out great - was far to the right of 219 but was able to skeeve down to the front row of it on the left and got the best view in the house. For folks going Saturday: there are single seats, separated by an aisle, in some of the sections - these were in the far left of 219. Saw some others across the arena as well. I figured

It was my first Stones show tonight. Thought they were incredible, the setlist couldn't have been better IMO (OK, I can think of five - maybe ten - more songs I'd have loved to hear Gotta find a way to get to D.C.
Forum: Tell Me

Heh. I wound up in the front row of the side stage after using some advice I learned here... just keep moving. Found one seat by itself across the aisle and it was seat 7, so figured nobody would claim it since others would have bought pairs... Nobody showed up and I had the best view in the house! Better than Pit, even, I think, since I was right at eye level with the band and didn't hav
Forum: Tell Me

Was kinda thinking I'd just keep eyes open and move once show starts. No way to unload useless $85s, either (EVERYBODY in line with the exception of six people got 400s. Box office won't upgrade those at all.)
Forum: Tell Me

Box office won't move me one section over from my restricted view seat in 219 b/c they claim the lower bowl is still $600. Wow. Pretty breathtaking.

300 ppl in line so far for $85 - everybody got 400s except six ppl Who got pit. Glad I bought an extra!
Forum: Tell Me

I don't think there's any way Detroit beats the Blackhawks - frankly I can't imagine how they knocked off Anaheim, didn't get to see several of the games because I've been in SoCal and no NHL Network on hotel packages usually. Also a couple of the ANA games were blacked out on local TV - go figure, since you know they had to have been sold out. That being said, havi

Hmmmm.... So I could try cashing in my $500 ticket in 219 for a better one at the box office? May go over now and try it.

I have to say, there's a lot about this area to like: beautiful beaches, Getty Museum, great food, friendly folks... but I'm not going to miss the 14 lane freeways one bit when I go home next week...

QuoteDo you think the playoffs will affect the Stones in DC at Verizon Center June 24? Caps flunked out of the series last night in grand fashion. Sigh. What the hell happened to Ovi?!??! I feel for those Leafs fans. Had been kinda pulling for them this year. In a way, I'm glad my Preds didn't even make the playoffs - they were gonna go nowhere due to all the injuries - hell,

What time would folks recommend getting in line to pick up $85 tickets? I've looked all over, can't seem to find any info and it's midnight here in Anaheim... I figure the box office won't open till noon tomorrow and was sort of looking to plan my day before then... Would appreciate any 2 cents anyone's got!

Followup to earlier comments on ticket price drops... Just read this on TM.com's terms of service: "In addition, we may occasionally offer tickets at a discount after the original onsale date and will not refund the difference between the original price and the sale price." Guess I'll just have to find a way to beat feet back out on the street and resell my extras once I k

From Wikipedia earlier tonight: "Los Angeles County alone is more populous than 42 individual U.S. states." No wonder this area gets the good shows! (Yes, I do realize Anaheim is in Orange County.) I'm at the Ayres Hotel now and sorry, folks - it's totally sold out. It IS a nice hotel, was here last week for Prince at the Grove. May try to make the pre-show festivit

Just another vote for ER! I love it & hope they play it in Anaheim. Anyway...They're playing radio ads in S Cal too and they're terrible! Sounds like they're being read by an undertaker straight off a sheet in a monotone voice. I know that would make ME jump up/buy tix!

Forum: Tell Me

I just saw Prince for two shows on the Wednesday at Grove of Anaheim. (maybe I put that in this thread already, have been reading lots today so can't quite recall.) Anyway, when I bought the tix I felt a little silly for spending so much money to see the same show twice - but it was a significantly different setlist and I really enjoyed both shows. If I could stay in the area longer I

Me, too. Bought a plane ticket from Nashville and went to both shows (early and late). What can I say, had been waiting 28 years to see him, it was all worth it. Too bad this little incident has likely marred what otherwise might have been an outtasite guest appearance Wednesday at the Ponda.

Depends on the concert.

I saw him for the first time, two nights ago in Anaheim. Utterly blew my mind. Paid a couple hundred bucks for both shows, early and late - this was Grove of Anaheim, a 1700 person venue. He's got an all girl band and they can really play. He did a lot of new stuff but the sound itself was very '1999,' hard rocking and funky. He did a cover of the Cars' 'Let's
