I started a thread specifically for this venue, so lets try and discuss any plans, meetups, and other stuff, here instead of in random threads so there aren't any misinformation issues. I'm curious as to where people are sitting, who wants to meet up beforehand, etc.

I'll repeat some info here:

Orchestra 5, Row XX, Seat 501/502

Really happy with my seats and excited to see DT at this venue since I was not a fan when Score was filmed.  I'll be spending the night at a hotel so I'll be ready to partay.  I'm down for a meet up before hand, it's a Saturday so I can get there early.

Prog Snob

I'm in Orchestra 4, Row A, Seat 407. I was hoping for seat 508.   ;)

I was at the Score show and was part of the dt.net forum meetup. I have a few photos of me, Nick, and Meg that Meg gave me. Maybe I'll add them here later on - especially so we can tease Nick about his old hairdo.   :lol

Cool, I've met a couple people here at meet ups before DT shows before, but this show has the potential to have a large turnout.  I hope to meet some new folks.

Cool they're playing here again, but do you really think they'd film in the same venue twice? Might be nice to record somewhere else, but what do I know?

I don't, is there a rumor of filming this here?

Nice pics Prog

Just picked up two seats....YOOHOO!

The last time I saw them here was too amazing to miss this time!

Looking forward to meeting more of you

Thanks Cram.

It should be great meeting those of you I didn't meet the first time, or forgot I met.  :lol  I was high on painkillers, otherwise back problems would have kept me home.

I got Orchestra 4, row D; right in the middle of it all. It's definitely a better seat than what I had for Score. I'll be attending with a friend and we'd love to meet up and eat/have a beer. I remember meeting people from the MP forum and taking an amazing picture with everyone. I would love to have that pic again, since I lost it.

I've done the VIP thing a few times before, so I rather use that $$$ to see the Baltimore show the night after. I am surprised that my level of excitement for DT is back to high, after 23+ years of fandom.

Nice seats. You are three rows behind me.

Wow, you're really close, plus an aisle seat. Nice!

Right, but it's not FIRST row.... However, is DT's presentation going to be like at a movie and who'd like to sit in the first row??  Or, there will be an orchestra ( as those seats are not available ) Who knows. I will add, my wife, in seat 402, got the tix, but struggled at that because even trying at 10AM EDT that was the first choice..... It is kinda odd?  It is what it is, we got VIP tix and prolly a better seat, as it is not 1st row, life is good. We'll get a trip to Manhattan out of the deal too! Looking forward to it VERY much!

We're arriving in NYC on the 21st and are on the hunt for a frigging cronut! LOL We're up for a pre-show event.....

Well a few of us are going to get together beforehand, so keep an eye on this thread as it gets closer to the event date. We'll have something figured out.

As far as there being orchestra, I don't think that's going to happen. But I suppose we'll find out more about the specifics of the stage show once they start touring.

I have a feeling this is going to be too good. So I have decided to bust my budget, cancel any jobs for Fri-Sat-Sun, and make a mini-vacation of it. I went on Stub Hub and selected Orchestra 4 Row PP near the aisle. I got raped, but I couldn't find anything better anywhere else. I also found a hotel room 4 blocks from Radio City on 46th St, so I will head in on Friday, have some dinner with friends who live in the East Village, then spend Saturday hanging out in the Times Square area getting psyched and hitting some stores. Which will add to the budget destruction. I like the fact that there will be a couple of months to learn all the songs and get into the storyline. So I don't expect to be attending a concert, but more of a multi-show with characteristics of a concert, a movie, a presentation and a play. This seems much more interesting than going to just another concert with album songs and a light show followed by the obligatory phony encore. Looking forward to something different and dramatic!

 :lol  I love the Addams Family Values quote in your profile. There are so many great lines in that movie. 

"Aren't you the lady killer?"

"Acquitted!"

Amanda: Why are you dressed like that?

Wednesday: Like what?

Amanda: Like you are going to a funeral. Why are you dressed like somebody died?

Wednesday: Wait.

 :lol

As soon as I figure out how many people are going to want to meet up, I'll find a place that can hold us.  I already mentioned this earlier but anyone who needs a place to crash is welcome to stay at my place.
