[Bear]

Fuck no!!!

I would not pay $50 for this shlock if they were headlining BB Kings and giving away first entry with an autographed poster.

BTW, the $4K tix a pair for MSG in November are VIP slots. Backstage passes are included, as well as a party. Here are the gory details: First row center VIP Van Halen laminate! Backstage tour! Pre-show party !Exclusive Van Halen gift bag! Crowd-free merchandise shopping!

23 years ago, I'd say "Buy it!" Today it's the "Full Moon"! i.e. "Run away, run away, run away!"

I will DEFINITELY go!

 

[TBJ]

Nope. Love old VH. However, I have no interest in watching a bunch of fifty year olds, who don't even like each other, trying to raise enough money to pay off their plastic surgery.

Totally in agreement here. Plus, who's to say this tour will even last more than 3 shows.

 

[Force10]

Well, my wife wants to go, so I grabbed 2 tickets to the Greensboro show. Second price level, $75 + ticketbastard, upper level, ugh. I'm holding out hope that it will be a good show.

Michael Anthony's backing vocals will be severely missed. I hope they don't insult us by adding any pre-recorded vocals of his to the mix.

Going to see Sammy!

 

[Ascension]

Just as I suspected...it's gonna be huge. Per Melodicrock.com.

So far the only band that has done a great return and should have charged high prices but did not is Heaven and Hell.

H&H did it right by not charging their fans a house mortgage to see them. They had/have the right tour package, kept the prices in a decent price range and sold out every show. Plus Dio still has a good voice.

I know that on Ebay some H&H shows were going at crazy prices but that's ebay. With prices at some of the ticket agencies going for $1400+, who's to say what sellers on Ebay are going to list them for.

The unfortunate fact is that when Black Sabbath goes back with Ozzy the price may skyrocket again (Thanks $haron).

I saw VH on the 1984 tour... I won't spoil that memory with this current debacle!

 

[Kenso]

if it was reasonable, and close, sure

but not happening, so nope!

 

[Meanmistreator]

Nope. Love old VH. However, I have no interest in watching a bunch of fifty year olds, who don't even like each other, trying to raise enough money to pay off their plastic surgery.

I wonder if they gave Diamond Dave enough time to get some hair implants?

 

[Ramaries]

I think I will go. Maybe they are old, but probably once in a lifetime chance to see lthis lineup.

 

[kittybeast]

seen them enough times to pass on this tour and keep those older memories like others have stated.

 

[SOULISFOREVERBLACK]
