2011-10-12 - Beacon Theatre - New York City, NY
« on: August 01, 2011, 10:10:54 AM »
Confirmed in this morning's Dream Theater newsletter.  Looks like those of you waiting on a NY date should be happy with the choice of venue.  Should be a good show.  If I weren't already planning on seeing them the night before in NJ, I'd be so there.

God dammit. I'm supposed to see Firewind that night in NYC. I will likely switch over to DT though.

I haven't been to Beacon in a while.  Is it a seated venue down in front of the stage?  I prefer open standing areas in front of the stage.  Just wondering.  Thanks!

Dumb question, but what's the difference between on sale to the general public on Friday and internet presale tomorrow?  Hmm. Sounds to me like they go on sale tomorrow. no?

Tickets just went on sale, and not even to the general public. How the hell I'm only seeing seats for the upper balcony?

Got tickets for Loge2 Row E.

I am thinking the Amex presale is limiting what tickets you can get.

Yeah, I gave up.  I'm gonna try on Friday again when they go on sale to the public.

By the way, the prices for this show on Stubhub are ridiculous.  I logged onto stubhub a few mins before the pre-slae started this morning and there were tons of tickets posted already.  How is that possible?  Seems fishy.

Saw them at the Beacon for prog 09. It was a dead show. Felt like a ghost town in there that night. I think its cause no one cared about the other bands much and DT had already exhausted the area from previous shows.
I'm holding out for a CT date at the Oakdale but if it doesn't happen I'm sure I'll go to the Beacon last minute like I did last time when I got 7th row center the night of the show.

?? I was there and it was a great show... Much better than two nights before in Asbury Park.

Let me be clear, the band was great, the audience was non existent. It was a ghost town in that venue that night. I have never been to a show where the lobby was empty all night. No one buying shirts, beer, etc. No one in the bathrooms. The attendance was poor. That's just a fact. At one point I went out to the lobby for a beer and myself and Eddie Truck were the only souls out there at all. That was strange.

Oh, and my buddy was at Asbury Park and he said the crowd there was quite sad. Nobody showed up to that shit hole.

Yeah, Asbury Park was a pretty weak crowd.  Probably not the best move having a NJ show and NY on back-to-back nights for a prog package tour.  Plus, as mentioned, it wasn't the greatest venue.  Kinda like an over-sized high school gymnasium. 

I'm sure if they had been "Evening with Dream Theater" shows, the attendance would've been significantly higher.  I actually skipped the first Progressive Nation tour a few years earlier.  Figured I'd wait for a proper DT tour rather than sit through a bunch of bands I didn't care about.

After viewing the prices, and hearing about the maudlin of the Well show a week earlier (also the fact that Trivium is opening) I have decided to pass this show up.
