New DT Tour dates

[JayOctavarium]

Nov 16
City National Grove of Anaheim
Anaheim, CA

Definitely disappointed that it's a Wednesday but this is a much better location than many recent L.A. shows.  I'm actually really curious how attendance will be as they've played The Astonishing in L.A. twice, so many have seen it already I bet lots will pass on the weekday show.  I guess we'll see soon . . .

It's The Grove. You can't fit a lot of people in there anyway

I was 50-50 on going but the Anaheim presale appears to require a password that I don't have.  So I guess the answer is no.  Too complicated, just put the tickets on sale.

Presales are never worth the effort. They'll only be offering relatively average seats. Best to wait and buy good seats later. That is, if you actually care about going.

I'd like to go but it's a 6 hour round trip so it has to be perfect as I already saw The Astonishing live back in April.  The quality of the seats I can get will answer that question I guess.

Anybody that doesn't get inside of ten rows for this tour just isn't trying. Or just doesn't want to spend $70.

Yup.  I'm in row 8 and I got the tickets several days after general sale started.

See, this is a reason to go.  You'll get great seats!

I'll probably have no choice if that's the case.  I was in about the 6th row in April and it was really cool to be that close to Petrucci, et al.  It is annoying, though, having a presale and I have no clue how to get the password.  But it sounds like it may not matter much, if at all.

Thanks.  Front row "tables" still available, does anyone know if the front row is too close (meaning bad angle, having to look way up) or if it's at a comfortable position as we all know now this is a sitting event (which I still find a little weird but whatever).

I guess in addition to that as there's a General Admission standing area, are the tables high enough to be above the GA ?  Bottom line, for the tables, does anyone know if the fronts are better or the second row ?  I saw them here for ADToE tour but I don't remember the answers to my questions.

[RaiseTheKnife]

The first row of tables are a great location - eye level with the stage, not too close, very nice vantage.  I suggest getting seats at the front of the table (either seats 1 and 2, or 11 and 12) because you could be at the first table, but because they are positioned long way perpendicular to the stage, if you get seat 6, you'll have 5 people sitting in front you possibly obstructing your view.

Last time at the Grove (ADTOE) I had a seat first table, first seat against the railing, and it felt like the best seat in the house.  But since Nov 16 is a work night I will not be able to get to Anaheim by 6:00pm - so general admission for me.

[JayOctavarium]

As much as I love The Grove, I will be skipping this leg of the tour for 2 reasons.

1: It's a work night. There's no way, even with leaving work early, that I'd be able to get down there especially in rush hour traffic. I've had it take 3.5 hours to get from Ventura to Anaheim.


B: I don't hate The Astonishing... but... meh.

Picked up a front row ticket for the Worcester show. If I end up going with my brother or one of my friends, I may end up selling it to sit with them. But for now I'm pretty excited to see them front row.

[ronnibran]

OMG I almost have to go.  I pretty much gave up on going to concerts, as I've worn out traveling long distances to see shows.  So I was floored when I saw DT was going to be playing in Grand Rapids Michigan!!!  I'd be pretty much stupid to NOT go.  Has it been confirmed that they're performing The Astonishing (in its entirety)?  I'd prefer a concert with a more "random" set list but would be happy to see either without having to travel for it.

According to Facebook, looks like we're getting a show in NC after all! This is so cool!

[bluehaze]

IT'S FINALLY COME TRUE!!! Per Dream Theater's Facebook post, Florida is coming soon. Hurray!!!!!

I saw that!  Can't wait to see where!

The quote for all you southern fans:

Dates are still being announced for the Fall Tour. First Florida show since ADTOE to be announced soon, and hopefully more Southern dates as well!

[AngelBack]

ATLANTA !!!  December 4 Symphony Hall.....high class.....woohooo!!!!!!

[TheOutlawXanadu]

I hope that the band schedules smaller venues that they can fill. I would hate to go to a show here that's 3/4 empty because they decided to play at a 4000 seat place.

DT playing in Orlando at the Hard Rock on December 2nd.

Thanks for the input.  Although it's a very inconvenient day (6+ hour roundtrip on a Wednesday), I had started avoiding listening to TA because it made me sad that I might not go so I went ahead and did it.

I could have had Row 1 Seat 4 in Section 210 (front row of tables, about three tables over from the middle).  But instead went with Section 228 (I think that is the number) Row 2 Seat 1, this is the second set of tables back but right in the middle slightly to JP's side.

[hefdaddy42]

Apparently the NC date is Sunday November 27th at the Durham Performing Arts Center, which is a FANTASTIC venue and is the one I was hoping for.  It is state of the art (only built in 2008) and it's only about 25 minutes from my house. 

Sweet, sweet, sweet!

DT playing in Orlando at the Hard Rock on December 2nd.

That's a great venue for them. Smaller venue then I would've guessed DT playing

[OpenYourEyes311]

Looks like they are going to do a run in Texas too. Hittin' all the States this time! Seems to be a long tour, going all the way into December.

[El Barto]

There's a San Antonio date listed, so it reasons that there'll be Houston/Dallas dates, as well. I"m curious where they plan to play in Dallas. They only sell a tiny fraction of their preferred venue on normal tours. I can't imagine this one sells as well. In the meantime plenty of bands are playing The Majestic now, which would be a perfect fit for them. Never understood their need to always play out in Grand Prairie, so we'll see if they've come to their senses.

Given their track from Orlando to Atlanta, I would expect a South Florida date of Dec 1 which would be a Thursday which is perfect for me. I have Thursdays and Fridays off so that would be perfect, and I can see them in both the Miami/Ft. Lauderdale area as well as Orlando. I have to do both since I have been screaming for them to come down to the South. Even though it will be the same show, I have to show them some love for their first ever Evening with... shows ever in Florida. Stoked!!!

If you didnt go to your local southern show I dont know what would happen!
