[Cheiron]

Getting mine in 14 mins =)

 

[Rider of Theli]

Got 4 tickets... and although I hit 'best available' and had the seating chart handy, apparently the seating is going to be general admission. Dammit!

*grumbles*

 

[7thSaviour]

The tix are going for about $30 each on ticketbastard. Are the tix cheaper via the venue boxoffice?

 

[Pellaz]

The Roxy is almost always general admission. Almost.


I would have said "always," but I actually attended one show there that had reserved seats set up on the floor: Dead Can Dance, on the Into the Labyrinth tour. The Roxy staff had NO idea how to handle it.

Still one of the five best shows I'll ever see.

What's the capacity of this venue?

 

[Pellaz]

I think it's about 1,200. Decent theater setting, sloped floor, with a balcony.

Thanks! It's about the same size as Center Stage, then. Cool.

 

[dcowboys311]

Hmm, I get paid on Friday. I'll buy my ticket then.

 

[Bryan316]

FUCK YEAH THEY'RE COMING TO DETROIT!


I get Kamelot, Epica, Blind Guardian.... I'ma have a boner for a month straight!

 

[sinerchris]

hmm i think when i ordered mine i hit best available.

ehh i don't care if i sit or stand. i'll be standing either way!

Seeing these guys back in NYC when they played at "The World" has got to be in the top 10 metal shows i've ever seen. Breathtaking !

 

[VenomGA]

why in the world did these tixs go on sale almost 6 months in advance??

 

[sinerchris]

who knows.

all i can say is that the metal scene in Atlanta is total crap, and i'm god damn happy that Blind Guardian is coming here.

Having declared Blind Guardian as my favorite band ever (replacing long-worshipped Metallica) and having experienced my first metal show ever at ProgPowerVI last year, I came to the conclusion that seeing Hansi and Andre work their magic in person should be a mandatory event. Needless to say, I was disappointed when I saw that they had no plans for a U.S. appearance for their next tour - they had a lot of European dates, and it seemed like they wouldn't be coming to the U.S. at all for a good year or two. Man was I floored when I read that they finally added U.S. dates for the end of this year! And for them to land on my doorstep in Atlanta is just too good to be true.

Here's to bangin' heads with the bards

I can't wait to hear a Twist in the Myth. The Fly single turned me off initially as it wasn't typical BG even by ANATO standards, but the more I've listend to it the more it's grown on me. If the concert is anything like the DVD it will be amazing, when I watched that, I was just in awe of the guitar playing. They sound live just like they do on the CD.

Also Leaves' Eyes is pretty good too, Vinland Saga is nice.

The local metal scene is getting better, finally!

 

[sinerchris]

well i wouldn't go that far. Yes, there is Progpower here in ATL.
Yes, Blind Guardian is coming. But it's weak.
Eh...what can one expect, right?

 

[7thSaviour]

Well, maybe so, but we still have some good metal shows here, counting modern metal.
