2012-06-22 - The Fillmore - Detroit, MI

[Ultimetalhead]

Looks like I'll be able to get to Hockeytown. We're probably going to get to Detroit around 3:30, so let's say Hockeytown at 4? Like Pockets said, we should be able to monitor the line situation and get out there if it starts to get crowded.

Definitely looking forward to meeting you guys.

Yeah, I can do 4. I should have asked this a couple weeks ago, but where is the best place to park?
Same to you.

[snapple]

Hey, is there a way to get cheap tickets? Mrs. snapple and I are considering going if we can find cheap tickets

No idea really. Either way, you should be able to find any random parking structure, and then take the peoplemover to the station closest to the Fillmore (don't know off the top of my head).

[snapple]

Someone, please. Guide me. She will go to the show if we find cheap enough tickets.

Some seats in row F available for $58.00 a piece.

[snapple]

wtf is the MFA thing? We'd go hella cheap (unemployed). Is stubbhubb good?

[Pockets17red]

You could also go for the $47 tickets and you would get Row G which I think is in section D.
You don't have to sit there. If you show up early, like we are, you can get on the main floor, where it's all standing.

[Ultimetalhead]

I'm still not so sure about that whole thing. It'd be cool if it's GA, but you'd think they would tell you.

[snapple]

I'm trying to find a way to cut spending so we can justify going...unless we can find cheaper than $40 tickets.

[Pockets17red]

Well StubHub does have tickets for $37 if you want to take a risk.

"take a risk" define that

Well, I have never used StubHub so I don't know how safe it is.

Yeah, I also just saw the FanProtect Guarantee, I'd say go for it.

[zepp-head]

So...Hockeytown at 4 then?  Should we all swap numbers or what.

[Cable]

I thought the Fillmore show was reserved seating. Is there a GA section?

Also, best place to go for lunch would be Hockeytown cafe. That place is the shit, and is most likely where I will be going before the show.

Well, the show is supposed to be reserved seating, but I looked up reviews about the venue and pretty much everyone has been saying that they clear out the first two sections of the chairs. I have also looked up pics as well. First come, first serve for that area apparently, but only if you have a ticket for that floor. People with balcony seats can't go down there.

I'll definitely check out the place on the net.

Well, that's very interesting. I'll certainly be there as early as necessary for that.

I reckon it will be all reserved seating. When I saw Porcupine Tree with Big Elf on the Incident tour, I 99% sure sure it was all reserved, as my seat was in the traditional sprawling bar area. I have been seeing stuff at the State Theatre/Fillmore since 2000 infrequently, so it seems rather new with this all seated stuff.

I do not know why they could not play at the Fox Theatre if they wanted all seats. Maybe too $$$.

Yep at 4. I think you will know us when you see us. I will be wearing an Opeth - Still Life shirt (The usual black band shirt with red album cover) and will be with two others.

[zepp-head]

Right on.  I will plan on making it.

[Ultimetalhead]

We should chill outside Hockeytown for a bit beforehand so that we can get everyone together. Would be a hell of a lot easier than trying to find people in the restaurant.

Can do!

[zepp-head]

Alright.  Keep an eye out for me.  I'm wearing a black Zeppelin shirt and a baseball cap.

Too bad you can't get a seat in the F# row

[snapple]

looks like we won't be making it.

[Blazinarps]

I'll probably be at HockeyTown Cafe. Wearing a DT shirt and my gf.

[zepp-head]

Hey folks, a few of us are here at Hockeytown getting a table.  Come join us, don't be shy.

O.O












Dream Theater fans have girlfriends?!?!?!

Apparently they do have girlfriends... and apparently they wear their girlfriends to concerts.

Any word on the setlist yet?

[Blazinarps]

Any word on the setlist yet?

Same.

Zepp- Were you wearing a red hat? I'm pretty sure you were seated behind me a couple rows.

[Ultimetalhead]

Damn that show was awesome. I got to the venue around 2:30, and Crimson Projekct's drummers had their kits set up outside, so we hung out with them for a while (got a sweet picture with both of them). Then, the red tour bus came up. JLB, MM, and JP came out. JP shook my hand and I completely lost my shit. Full-on fanboy crying mode. There's a pretty hilarious video of it that my Dad took. I'll post it along with some more pictures tomorrow.

The venue security was EXTREMELY tight. No pictures even. Methinks there will be some live DVD footage from that show.

[robwebster]

Take it the setlist was the same again? Purely cos I figure you'd mention if it weren't.

Shame, but Cyberdrummer must be bloody loving this.

I had a gray hat on.  I was seated as far right as you can possibly go right by the exit.

How's the merch, by the way?
