Question: What's the chance that floor is going to sell out? Planning to go to the box office maybe next Sunday to grab a floor ticket, but will just get it online if it'll sell out fast. Any advice?

A dramatic tour of events.

Lucky guys in SF will surely see some new songs played for the very first time ever.  Any speculation as to which? 

[Fiery Winds]

Just got two tickets in the pit!!!

I'll let you know right after the show.

[bosk1]

After party/dinner at your restaurant?

Who are you going with?

I don't know yet!

[bosk1]

 Tell your dad he needs to go.  If he gets tired of the pit, he can come sit with me and H can go down in the pit with you for a while.  Either that or...uh...you know, like, hypothetically...you and Sara could get back together and you could take her.  Just sayin'.

I'll see if he's interested.  Oh, something was wrong with the last part of your message, might be forum problem.  You should get on that.  Just sayin'.

I have no problem experiencing two seats at once.

I wonder if the setlist will change from what they're playing in Europe?  I imagine it would, seeing as the album will be released by this point.  Not that I mind the current setlist (I haven't seen anything except Tuscany).

[bobs23]

History has been the summer festival run has been to get their stage chops back. The US leg, is where they play a full production set with all the new material they had planned. But with the recent turn of events, it will be a bit different.

Meaning....

[bobs23]

Look at the last 4 tours. They started on the Euro. festivals doing shortened sets of mostly songs they are already comfortable playing. Possibly playing one new song (OTBoA this tour, ANTR last tour). When they come to the US they have their normal touring stage production with their lights, screens and PA. They will then pull out all the new material that they plan on playing. The last tour was a bit of an anomaly as is was Prog Nation only. The original plan was to do a more traditional leg after PN09. The IM thing came up, then we all know what happened after that. But look at the tourography for TOT, 8V and SC you will see what I mean.

[Ħ]

Wait, so are you saying that this leg will or will not feature a significant amount of new material?

[bobs23]

I would guess that the US leg will show at minimum 3 songs from the new album. As the tour goes on they might rotate in some more. But with the band stating the the set lists won't be changing much, this remains to be seen. We are in uncharted territory here.

Bought two tickets yesterday I am so happy. I got floor tickets row G1, seats 110-111. This will be my first DT concert, bringing a friend who doesn't know DT hope I get him into it.

Does anyone with experience with seeing DT know how the seating normally works? I got floor tickets assuming I'd be standing up but obviously they have row and seat numbers so we'll have chairs? Also for future reference is sitting up in the balconies a better experience or down on the floor?

What can I expect with Trivium playing before DT (concert length.) I hope DT plays for 2 hours.

[bosk1]

For that venue, as I recall, it is a "standing-room only" pit in the very front, and then seated quite a ways back from that.

That's how it was when I saw them there on the Six Degrees tour, about 20 "rows" worth of SRO, then seats.

After party/dinner at your restaurant?

My place is a touch far from there, and might be closed after the show gets out.  Dinner will definately be a no-go, but a casual gathering, maybe.

[Ħ]

What's that, lonestar?  You're going to prepare us food and bring it for a pre-show parking lot dinner?

[lonestar]

What's that, lonestar?  It's your day off?  Go have someone cook for you, then come rock the fuck out with us at a killer concert.

Thanks bud, will do.

[bosk1]

Well, coming from my neck of the woods, I'll pretty much be passing through your neck of the woods before crossing the Bay Bridge (yeah, it's a bit of a detour jumping off the freeway and driving all the way up University, but meh--details...).  So, yeah, I'm all in favor of your suggestion.  A bunch of us can just descend on the kitchen at the Clairmont a few hours before the show and cook you a killer meal on your day off.  Just be warned--I may go heavy on the bacon.

LOL at the thought of five DTFers running around the kitchen while the Mexican linecooks have guns in their mouths because THE PINCHE SONG WON'T END CABRON!!!

[lonestar]

I used to do it to my cooks at another place.  We'd take turns, and I'd put on some ten to twenty minute wankfest, and thrill at the sight of them becoming more and more uncomfortable.  Good times.
