Oooo. If I'm still around next year, that Offenbach date for sure

 

[Nickstervarius]

Wembley Arena, 3 days after my Birthday! Sure thing

 

[1928]

I wanted to see them this year in the US, but the very day of the concert I'm coming back from a wedding and it just makes the whole trip easier on me and my girlfriend if we pass it up. Dang it

 

[Thematt202]

Manchester here I come!

 

[Dan W]

Out of those dates it would be Wembley, but all dependent on location and price

 

[Kingface]

Might go to the Manchester show. Not keen on the support band though.

 

[Thematt202]

I don't rate Periphery either but who cares, it's Dream Theater!!

 

[moleSG]

May go to the Manchester show, depending on money at the time.. it's tempting.

 

[Kingface]

I don't rate Periphery either but who cares, it's Dream Theater!!

Yeah ordinarily if I like a band enough I'll go see them even if the support is poor.

 

[Kingface]

Sorry to double-post and bump this thread, but has anybody here checked out the prices for the shows? If so, what are your opinions on them?

Personally, I think they are quite hefty, in some cases reaching Manowar levels of over-pricing!

Also, do DT do all Seating for many of their shows? I was considering seeing them in Manchester, but the price and the fact that is appears to be all seated has put me off. I understand that with DT there probably isn't going to be lots of Headbanging and Circle Pits or anything like that, but I'd still prefer to see any band Standing rather than Seated.

 

[Shredlamode]

That's definitely the most expensive I've ever seen DT tickets sell for here in the UK at least... I agree that seems to be pretty extortionate but then again, I've just paid £88 for an Elton John ticket!

Seeing him at the B2Net Stadium then I trust? It's an amazing show for the town and no doubt it will be a cracking one too!

 

[Symphony]

It amazes me how people will pay through the nose to see established artists but will grumble at paying £7-£10 to see underground acts.......don't recall ever spending more than £40 on a gig ticket. There are very few acts who would encourage me to break that barrier........

 

[Nickstervarius]

Wow.... Pricey, much?
