thanks for the info, you beat me to it this time!

Looking at that pdf seating chart, is the seating there sloped at all? Or is this a level/flat area? And is this all reserved seating (as it looks to be)?

I'm thinking on hitting this one myself. Roadtrip, how far away is this place??

About 6 Summit extra pale ale's. :P :P :P

Ever go to Duluth or up I-35? Can't miss the casino; it's right off the interstate.

From downtown Minneapolis; I'd say about 100- 110 miles. Shorter if you live in a northern suburb; a little further if you live south.

Useless information...But; if you go, when you leave on Saturday morning stop at Tobie's for breakfast or at least stop in for a carmel roll.

Oooohh...been up to Duluth, up I-35...and now that you mention it's right by the interstate, I remember driving past it. Oh man, if i was still living in the area, I would be going to the show!

So frustrated. Get up anyway.
So complicated. Changes every day.

And the light, will come shining through.

I'm not certain, but since it takes place in a convention center I'd assume that the floor is most likely a flat area (though it does look like all the far back corners seem to be elevated).

as it's getting closer to the ticket on sale date....

Hmmm, the casino doesn't sell their own tickets? And the only way to get them is from Ticketmaster (or possibly the venue's own ticket office, which is only 80 miles away)?

I say -- PFFFFFFT -- to that !!!!

Nothing like a $22 ticket with an additional $10 in fee's !!

IMHO - $22-$32 a ticket (+ up the wazoo Ticketmaster fees) is still a bargain for a fun night and a favorite band. I'd rather spend a few hard earned $ at a fun event than the Casino's slot machines! :lol:

The $10 service charge per ticket is really rubbing me the wrong way to; I don't know why either, especially since I just dropped $500 to see them last month at the Hope Rocks benefit concert. I understand ticket master is a business but...ah forget it.

Anyways; I have a friend stopping at the casino on Saturday. So; if you are looking to avoid paying the $10 surcharge I can have him pick a ticket up for you. There isn't a surcharge when you purchase them at the casino; either pm me or let me know on this site. I will need to know by 10am Saturday the 11th; I will check my pm's and this webiste around 10am that day.

Let me know what tickets you want; the 22, 27 or 32. Me; personally am looking for section a/b as close to the stage as possible. We'll work out the details later (delivery options, payment for the ticket etc..)
