yay! concert tickets!
Jun. 21st, 2007 11:36 amI got Velvet Revolver/Alice in Chains tickets!! :)
I'm going to three shows: Jones Beach in NY, PNC Bank Arts Center in NJ, and "Tweeter Center at the Waterfront" in Camden, across the water from Philadelphia.
(WTF is up with these corporate venue names? You know even Jones Beach is actually "Nikon at Jones Beach Theater" now? Disgusting. But, whatever, it's not time to rant.)
They're playing these big outdoor arenas, which kind of sucks because 1) I hate the outdoors and 2) most of them have assigned seating without a GA area. I know I at least got good seats for the PNC Bank Arts Center (that name!! it hurts to type!!) show, because I got them through the Velvet Revolver presale and they're in the 5th row (there's no pit). Jones Beach also lacks a pit, and I don't know how my seats are--I know they're in the front sections, but I got them through the Alice in Chains presale which doesn't assign seats until later (grrr).
But, best of all, I got PIT TICKETS for the Camden show! Yay! That's actually the arena where I attended my first (or second, I forget, maybe the first was Foo Fighters...) show ever, which was Lollapalooza '97.
( my first--or second?--show ever )
So, yeah, the POINT of that ramble is that it's kind of cool to be going back there, and to actually be in the pit for once.
Although I do have to figure out how to *get* there... that's the annoying part. There are buses to Jones Beach and PNC Bank Arts Center, but Camden? I know there's public transportation to Philly but getting home *after* the show will be a problem. Maybe I can get my mom to drive and hang out in Philly while I go to the show... I really don't want to sleep in a train station in Philadelphia.... *crosses fingers*
