Okay, so who will be going? I will likely be getting my tickets on Thursday. My fiancee, friend, and I will be (hopefully) in the first or second row. I'm extremely pumped as my friend and I have aftershow passes from Jordan's PledgeMusic campaign. I hope to see some of you there!

I'll be there! Probably with a couple friends of mine, I can't wait, should be a great show! 

Have you seen any gigs at the Palace Theatre before?

Shadow2222

Nope! This will be my first one. I've heard the place is nice, and the photos look good. I just realized that this will be my first indoor DT concert (saw them at Blossom Music Center in Cuyahoga Falls in 2010, at the now-a-soccer-field Trib Total Media Amphitheatre in Pittsburgh in 2011, and at Jacobs Pavilion in Cleveland in 2012).

I just secured my tickets for the seventh row, center :)

Nice, I was at the Trib Total Media show in 2011 as well!

Where did you get your tickets from? The venue website or elsewhere?

Shadow2222

Yeah, I went ahead and bought right on the venue's site.

mikeyd23

Okay, that's what I was planning on doing as well.

I snagged two tickets on the venue's site center 3rd row, not bad. Looks like a cool place.

I JUST BOUGHT MY TICKETS ONLINE!  This is a great venue.  I saw them here on their TOT tour.  Reminds me of The Agora in cleveland (where I saw them for Octavarium)  Great views every where.  I am center orchestra.  Hope to see you all there.  Will eat at a bar somewhere off of main street.

Just bought two tickets for my brother and I. Balcony center, 2nd row. Hopefully we have good sight lines!

I will be most likely going to this show. Greensburg is only an hour from me so I'm definitely going to make it.

Where are some good parking spots around the theater? I'm okay with 5-10 minute walks

Good question. I never looked up parking. Anybody know?

Flying in from Orlando FL! I will be picking up a rental car in Pittsburgh and drive to Greensburg. Hit me up if you want to carpool!

Its been a few years since I've seen a show there, but I seem to remember a couple parking garages and lots within a few blocks of the theater for parking.  And I seem to remember them being free parking, either that or they were so cheap that I don't remember paying for them!

In general, I wouldn't worry about parking too much, in fact while typing this post I just checked the Palace Theatre's website and they have a nice little map and parking info here:
https://www.thepalacetheatre.org/directions.html

One thing thats nice about this show not being in downtown Pittsburgh is that parking will be much easier/cheaper!

Still need to get my tickets for this show, waiting to hear back from my buddy how many we need to get, but tickets are selling quick, balcony is the only thing left for the most part, so I'll probably be ordering my tickets soon either way just to make sure I get them before they sell out.

mikeyd23

Well, I final heard back from my buddy so I knew how many tickets to get and good thing I did, there were only a few seats left! This is going to easily be a sold out show.  When I picked up the two tickets I needed a few days ago, everything in the theater was sold out except for a few scattered seats in the back corners of the balcony.  I'd guess there were only about 25-30 seats left in total and we still have over a month till the show!

Should be a fun one! I've seen a few shows at the Palace Theatre and there isn't a bad seat in the house, it's a really nice little venue.  If anyone is interested in meeting up before the show, let me know.  My buddy and I are probably going to do dinner and drinks before the show somewhere near the venue.

Great to hear (both that you got tickets and that there isn't a bad seat)! I'm so very excited for this show.

Finally got my tickets for this show!  I had to hold off because of a possible union strike at my work, but now it looks like that wont happen!

Getting pumped for DT   :metal

Shadow2222

This show is coming up quick! Only 14 more days until April 2!

Just checked the venue's website and there looks to be only a few seats left available with a week and a half left until the show.  Looks like it will be a packed house!

Sweetness! Can't wait either.  Going with my brother in law .  getting dinner somewhere in G burg.  Cya all there,  be loud!

Shadow2222

Less than a week to go! I'll be meeting a couple non-DTFers at a restaurant/bar near the venue. Not sure where it will be until a day or so before (they are picking the place). If I find out, I'll pass the word along in case anyone wants to stop in too.

I'm coming to the gig with a friend and we will probably be eating/drinking near the venue before the show, so let me know where you guys end up deciding to go and we should be able to meet up.

Just checked the venue's website, there are 4 front row left side tickets for sale. These were NOT available when I ordered my tickets.
WTF?????????    Very disappointing.  :sad:

Ah, I hate when venues withhold tickets (presuming that is what happened). Still, the show looks to be otherwise sold out, which is awesome! Sure, it's not a humongous venue, but it really makes for a great atmosphere.

Well, started concert day with some great news. My fiancée has a nasty bout of food poisoning :( If he doesn't feel better, which is unlikely at this point, I will be trying to sell a 7th row ticket for 40 bucks at the door.

Thanks, he just told me that he is feeling a lot better, so hopefully he can make it, but I'm not sure yet.

SO pumped for the show tonight! I'm heading straight to Greensburg after work to meet up with my buddy for dinner/drinks and then off to the show!!

:metal

Shadow2222

Phew, everyone is feeling okay and we are about a half hour away from Greensburg! Going to eat somewhere, not sure yet. Should be awesome!

mikeyd23

Getting ready to head out to the show in a few minutes.  I'll post my thoughts tomorrow!
