It's a a bargain, when compared to the Rolling Stones $400 price tag 5 or 6 years ago.

I did get section 113 after 10 minutes, which is right beside stage, but I only want floor GA.  Have the two seats for insurance.  As I said in other thread, this is effing nuts and it's sick that over 100 floor seats were up on stubhub by 10:15.

Wow, what a glowing recommendation. $147 for that. How much would you pay for a band you actually liked?

i guess your reading comprehension skills do not enable you to grasp that he does like them?  a recap: liked the first two albums, didn't care for the next few, thought the penultimate (that's fancy-talk for "before last") was pretty good and now likes most of the last album.  where in there do you read that he doesn't like the band?

PS, in both presale and general sale my group of five did NOT get GA tix for the Philly show.  Does not bode well for DC, Grohl's hometown.

I remember bands like Van Halen, Queen, Rush, Aerosmith, etc. playing my local hockey arena growing up. Tickets were like $8-$10.

So he basically likes a couple of their albums, hates a few, and thinks a couple are ok. That's pretty tepid.

 I could say the same thing about many bands, and pay $15 or less to see them.

Ok, let me know next time Foo Fighters play at the Velvet Lounge.  I'll gladly pay $15.

I just now pulled two section 106 (forgot to put floor in), so you can still get tix.

Why not just go to see the bands you like at the Velvet Lounge or other small venues? Wouldn't that keep you busy enough to avoid paying $147 to see a band in a hockey arena?

Is there another presale?  I'm not aware -- this is the one that was announced by both 9:30 Club and Foos for their FB/fan club.

I love Wasting Light. And I'm looking forward to Social Distortion... If you don't want to go to this show why are you on this thread?


I am pissed I could not get floors.. I ended up buying some singles in the 100s for me and a few friends..


But I never had the option of Floor.. given there are 157 floors on Stubhub I would guess there were floors sold today. Oh well.

Wait a minute!  Are we talking about the FOO FIGHTERS?  Nirvana's drummer's "Ringo Starr and his All-Star Band?"  THAT band?  Jesus, what day is it?  How long have I been asleep?!!?
