is a ticket link!

Finally! A show in my town! I have truly missed the pups! Hopefully I actually get to see them... And hopefully the tickets aren't too expensive!

[Donna]

Thanks for the link Toni - I added it above as well !

It is the Van Andel Arena, so the prices are exorbitantly high.
Ticket prices are $46.50, $57.50, and $89.50, could you add it to the first post?
It is $89 for the highest prices, and that probably includes the whole floor.
I don't know why they don't have it set up as General Admission, usually it is there for a rock concert.
I am going to try to get the $89 ticket, and I may spend the night outside the arena to be first in line for tickets.
I am used to waiting in line for tickets there.
One time I did it in February and woke up with a foot of snow on me.

The Van Andel almost never has GA for concerts. It's too messy and they don't want that. The prices are pretty much in line with the rest of the shows on the tour. Big venues and big names is always expensive. Oh well, it will be worth it!

[MarixD]

Definitely worth it.
And I don't think I have seen Nickelback live yet.
I have been to a few concerts there that had GA floor but it fills up real quick even if you are toward the front of the line.

[ToniB]

FYI - Looks like they are doing GA, but the tix are $90. I'm sure it is going to be a complete zoo on the floor... And there's a pre-sale on already if you want to pay $25 for a Nickelback fan club membership (no thanks), but it makes it so you can buy tix NOW.

I looked for lower bowl and it says there isn't anything in the first 8 rows at all. Unless they have some held for the general public sale, which is definitely possible. I did find, however some in like the 12th row section 121. Those would be pretty darn good seats... But I already have my tickets.

[MarixD]

Yea, most tickets are held for the general public.
Where are your seats at?
If I had the money I would be in line to get the tickets.
I got front row tickets at Van Andel about 10 times or more.

[MarixD]

Here we go.
This show is going to be awesome.

[Katy]

Have fun at the show!!

[MarixD]

Thanks.
I had tons of fun.
Got plenty of pictures.

[ToniB]

Yep, definitely a good show all around.

Sick Puppies - awesome as always, totally stole the show!

Shinedown - allright, not really my thing and the way the lead singer holds and moves his mic was driving me insane!

Breaking Ben - Very good. It's the first time I've been able to see them since I really started listening to them last year sometime. I'd love to catch a headlining show sometime.

NB - Well, okay, so it's really not my kind of music and in fact I dislike many of their songs. But, it wasn't a bad show. I enjoyed it mostly, except for the part where I got nailed by the flying beer - which really wasn't my fault. I was looking frontward and a renegade beer came at me from the side. Me after the beer =

All in all, I had a great time, but I'm really tired today! Hopefully I don't fall asleep at my desk...
