New Nightwish date in Atlanta

[saxshooter]

So I went ahead and got tickets...Just in case..

I don't think it will be an issue for PP attendees to get to the venue.
If it is a nice day, you can easily walk there; although, it is a bit over 3 miles from Earth Link ,or you can use MARTA to get closer.

As for getting back to the hotels, it will be late, so you may not be able to take MARTA. However, I'm willing to take people back to their hotels. I have other friends going who would probably also be willing to do this. We can make as many trips as needed (After all it is only 3 miles).

I will post this again closer to the festival.

MARTA trains run until about 1AM, the busses are a bit less predictable...so it all depends on when Nightwish starts. Though, as any one who has been to the Masquerade knows, the shows NEVER start on time, so it very well may be an issue.

I think setting up a car pool is an awesome idea for those staying out of walking distance. I'd be willing to help out if need be.

This is interesting, "The band will be bringing along "one surprise European act" on this stretch of dates." You can read more here on SMNnews.com.

Is the Masquerade 21 and up or 18 and up? Thanks!

 

[lady_space]

18 & up, if they haven't changed it. Man, I think I spent more time there when I was 17 than I did at home.

It's all ages for shows in Heaven. The Masquerade is divided into three sections, Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory. Hell and Purgatory are downtairs, with Heaven, the main venue, is upstairs. Hell has a small stage that can be used for local openers, or headliners (as Atreyu and King Diamond are scheduled to play Hell) while Purgatory is just a bar. All three sections do have bars. However, on concert nights, Hell and Purgatory are often closed, depending on the night.

Any word yet Glenn??? that would be nice seeing Nightwish as a tuneup for PP

 

[freakchylde]

The masq is the worst venue for them. I'd be willing if it was at the Tabernacle or ELL, but not the masq.

The Tabernacle is definitely not a possibility, considering it won't even come close to selling out the Masquerade.

And it's only about a $10 cab ride from the Faifield...

 

[dargormudshark]

I hat cluns that are 18 and up

 

[SoNofBitcH]

ugggh. i swear if PP attendees cause this to get sold out before me, an actual local, buys my ticket, i'm going to be very displeased

 

[Nightmare1z]

Yeah, that thought crossed my mind. We keep saying it won't sell out, but ProgPower being the same weekend up's the probable # of people at least two fold. It would really suck if the local crowd can't get in because it's sold out to other people where Nightwish might be going as well.

 

[SoNofBitcH]

kind of like how our fairfield hotel is booked solid because of other people. pretty much the same thing. if this happens, we'll just have to harrass the PP attendees at the door!

This coming from someone whose board picture is a close up of there tits? PUHLEEZE

What the hell are you talking about? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Where are you from? Wisconsin I bet. Freakin' psycho.

Hold off on buying tickets or contacting the Masquerade about the show until Glenn confirms that it's definitely a no-go for Earthlink, folks........ I note he hasn't done so quite yet.

 

[Harvester]

I should know by this afternoon. It would indeed help if people did NOT buy tickets yet.

[Curufin]

Glad I decided to check this thread first... I was on Ticketmaster's order page and I was just about to click "Submit". Will wait until further details are given.

 

[jhallum]

As will I. Thanks Glenn for the hard work.

The Tabernacle is definitely not a possibility, considering it won't even come close to selling out the Masquerade. Besides, the Tabernacle actually has worse sound than the Masquerade, which is hard to believe but true. Unfortunately at this point, it's very unlikely (actually more like it's not gonna happen) that the Nightwish show will get moved to Earthlink.

Well, as much as I love nightwish, not gonna ruin that love for them by seeing them at the Masq. If it does get moved to ELL, I'll consider it. But I'm also irked that they moved the date like this. If it had stayed in April, I'd be there, but I was looking forward to the pre-party.
