This is good, Rick. I seem to remember they had to cancel before because of visa hassles?

I can't find tix pricing under tickets info. What is the ballpark figure for the weekend. Also, where do ppl stay...recommendations?

thx, mossy

you are correct.

It's kind of complicated about the other info ( a bit more than i can give right now at work)...

but the Patron seats are $225 (a bit much) and general is lowe, maybe in the high 100's. I'm surprised the info is not there.

Every time but twice I've sat Patron so I don't know how the others work. There's a time frame for general sales. If you don't see prices, email rob or chad (via the link). they'd be glad to help. i can look tonight also.

The hotels I'm not sure. i stayed the past two years at the same hotel most bands did and had a rousing time. Lots of stories. but I heard that hotel is off limits this year. A friend booked 20 rooms when last year's shows were announces and Rob got royally pissed. So I think that's the result. I'm winging it. I should be fine.

They're in the middle of the Patron Lottery, I should know soon what i get. if you go patron you need to sign up by tonight!

There I answered you anyway lol...again I'll check tonight...

BIG headliners (such as Steve Hackett) caused tickets to sell out quickly. I actually missed out on tix for the NF which featured Hackett but I was able to secure a set when another ticket holder had to relinquish their tix. Since then, it's the patron tix for me.

With Emerson headlining, the regular tix might go just as fast. Good luck.

Great point. That was the year I was in the far back....

Don't let it deter you if you're far down on the lottery list. Those with multiple tickets are sometimes in there a few times. As they get tickets, names will just magically drop off. We got third row last year, although I have a feeling I may not be so lucky this time..

Good luck!
