Not as defunct as we were led to believe....

Just had a look to see if the Co-op Arena tickets are any cheaper now..

Very odd ticket rollout.  Bought 3 seats for my Brother for the second night at the 02 last night at around 7pm.  Block 101, close to Alex's side row L, which is relatively low down not too far off the floor.  Excellent seats.  £199 each.  Bizarre for that to feel like a bargain when identical seats on Geddy's side were priced between 3-400 and seats in the next row down and up were priced between 210 and 350.  Odd.

I don't think the venues are anywhere close to being sold out, no matter what the seating charts are showing.  I think it's just promoters doing their FOMO thing to entice people pay top whack.

Still planning on doing Manchester but haven't got a ticket yet.

No ticket here yet,will have a look again at London tomorrow on general sale.

They obviously think enough tickets will sell to cover what Rush have been offered and promoter/venue costs. Even if venues are half full.

When Bonham died LZ called it a day apart from the gig in the early 2000s. Lee/Lifeson should have the common sense to do the same ...

It looks like they've had the commercial sense not to.  They'll be selling their catalogue next probably for an 8-figure sum each.

Fair play to 'em.

Yep, I have to grudgingly agree. If I was talented and healthy enough, with grandchildren, I'd probably do the same. Besides, Ray probably holds the negatives for all the 70s and 80s tour shenanigans. 😁

Tried again today for side seats in London and got them for the undynamic price. Still not really sure why I am going but it's done and hopefully enjoyable.

This is more like it

I think I'm going to have to go to one of them unless they all sell out. I'll leave it and see if the ticket prices come down.

8th row centre tickets bought for the second night for the 'bargain' price of £185 each with rip off fees..

I could see the seats shaded out and when they did eventually appear at that price it took about 5-6 goes before it would allow me to buy them...checked immediately after my purchase had gone through and they'd more than doubled in price.

This industry really needs a massive overhaul and major regulation.

I caved and bought a ticket for the second night at Manchester. Less than £200 and on the floor, not a bad ticket. But even so I feel disgusted. Partly with myself, I admit.

A good single seat became available. Who knows why, but £495.05. The 5p bit actually made me chuckle. Maybe that's the keyboard player's cut.😂
I didn't bite. More wouldn't than didn't. I just couldn't live with myself.

PW, MP and Signals were seismic moments in my musical, social life and growing up generally. I think I'll probably quite enjoy this concert if and when I get to witness it. Doubtless it will have an emotional value but just nothing approaching the importance I associate with those albums in my life.

They were of a time, just like Rush. The real Rush. To mis-quote someone,
Old Rush good, new Rush good, so long as it's Rush. This is Rush Lite.

180 EUR balcony seats, no fkn way.
Cheapest seats: 90 EUR, 2nd tier.
first 'ring' of seats: 180 but the first 3 parts on either sides are taken bybVIP packages for 325 (back) or 550 (front row). I sat in one of those exact seats for Porcupine Tree during the CC tour (where they filmed the shows), first row, 90 EUR.

I am so disappointed. That 180 I will spend elsewhere. Once I am back on my feet I can surely fin 4-5 shows to spend this on.

OK, so my wife actually prompted me to buy a ticket. Not that she is going, but she made a good point:
I have not been out in nearly a year, and this is still a year away. Currently having a bit of a relapse (my right foot is acting up of being sick of doing the heavy lifting) I have been McGrumpers around the house.

Not a bad seat actually.. I did notice the 550/325 seats are readily available. General sale starts tomorrow.

Oh, and I'll still find a a way to do those 4-5 shows elsewhere, in fact I already secured a ticket for High on Fire coming August.

I can understand why you feel that way

I've just had a quick scan at Manchester as tickets are now on general sale. There seems to be quite a lot of available seats, still stupidly expensive for now. I'm just going to wait it out and see what happens.
