Theyd rather charge you $800 to sit than charge you $300 to stand. Although in the US last time they were looking for about $800-1,000 to let you stand in the pit!

In 1981 MSG tickets were $12.50 for the first 10 rows on the floor...as a matter of fact, the whole show was $12.50 except for behind stage obstructed view seats which were still a whopping $10.50...those were expensive prices then as most shows in NY were $4-8.00 plus the horrible
35 cents service charge by Ticketron...where have we gone as a society???

Are these inflation-adjusted dollars? Shit!

Awesome! I see it's rumored as July 14th. I think they will play at White River, Lucas Oil, or Klipsch (Noblesville, just north of Indy). I'm not too sure about the Speedway, but I could be wrong!

No...that is what my ticket stubs say for MSG and Brenden Byrne Arena

At a matinee in Orlando??...what could be THAT target audience? Cash in those nickle deposits and social security checks...I would love to see what they have showing at the cinema. That video on the FB page?

UCF has a football stadium...42K capacity...of course Tampa is sort close by as is the DAYTONA speedway with a capacity of 150,000...

Here's a screen grab:

Surely to Christ there's going to be SOME arena dates? Sad

The only venues I've seen talked about that aren't are Hollywood Bowl and Forest Hills (both of which are still pretty speculative) and Red Rocks (which seems more likely possibly as part of a sponsorship tie in).

An outdoor show at altitude in Denver in June and one in Orlando in July. I think they're trying to kill their audience off.

Very funny Gman...

You do have a point...maybe Orlando will be the exception and be the arena show, although a small one, less than 18K for a game...16K for a concert

So what have we got now so far

Pretty much certain :
Orlando
San Diego
Buffalo
Indianapolis
Pittsburgh
Atlanta
Minneapolis

Pretty likely/strongly rumoured :
Denver
New York/NJ
Los Angeles
Milwaukee
Kansas City

Speculated :
one in Canada
Raleigh
Dallas
Nashville
Columbus/Cleveland
One in the Pacific North West

That's potentially 18 cities. There's realistically unlikely to be any more than about 14-15 shows. Pretty much all of them one-nighters. The only rumour Ive heard about a stop that'll be more than one night is the one about Forest Hills, NYC but I'm no so sure if thats such a solid one.
