Question...are these US dates part of a new leg of a tour or are they just hitting spots that they missed last time, or may have postponed?

[Aylin]

I'll just give Rob a call and find out.  I'll get back to you...

From my understanding, they are doing shows at random, in small legs here and there.

Looks like a B-market tour, hitting places they didn't over the summer.

Thanks. I was just curious as to how far I should drive to go catch them, tis all.

Some nice dates for us on the east coast so far. Im gonna be pretty bummed out if the show is the same theyve been doing since last summer. Hopefully with that break they have, they will put together at least a slightly different set.

This is an expensive show, tickets $39.50-$69.50, before fees! STP needs to drop prices, $84 with fees! The Foo Fighters are selling out arenas and can demand these prices, but are not.

TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW!!!!!!!!    I don't know why.   I just scored 2nd row dead center!   4th Row Pitt still showing up!!!!!!!!

hell yea!! i'm so glad i just looked at this site... i would have waited til 12 noon.... just scored a pit ticket as well!!!
have you been here before? do the seating and row numbers really exist, or just a way to track the tickets?
either way it said pit ticket so i'm happy!!

[livefromuk]

Yes, I've been to the Tower a ton of times.  These are actual seats.   There is NO general admission area up front.  Even though these chairs are like makeshift folding chairs they put right in front of the stage, they don't remove them to create some type of "Pitt" like they do in Ampitheaters such as Camden.
 
I can't beleive they are at the Tower and not at the Electric Factory.   This is going to be an AMAZING show!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I was so ANGRY when I randomly refreshed the page and it came up that they were on sale.   Once I entered the queue it said I would be waiting 15 minutes and said to heck with it.      Well, thankfully I just left the screen load in the background.   And boom, up pops section BBB dead center on the aisel!   
 
I'm in heaven!  Hopefully I'll get pulled up on stage like I did at Camden last May to sing Dead and Bloated again : )    (For those of you that may remember!)

ahh man, i was hoping for general admission pit... that stinks, but won't complain about it... i still have a ticket...
mine says row DDD seat 121.... any idea how good that is?

[livefromuk]

You're forth row off to the side as the seats start at 100 and work their way out.   Each side goes every other number.  So say on the right is even, 100,102,104. and the left is odd 101,103,105.   So you are about 10 seats from the center. 
 
The place is very small and down front is even tighter.   If you tried to make a "pitt" out of that area it would be a disaster.   I can't wait to see how security is going to handle this.   Personally I think it's a ridiculous idea to have them play there, but I'm not going to complain!

ok, gotcha... thanks for the explanation... i've been to the electric factory, never been here. either way, i guess i'm as close as i can get and won't complain... how often can a guy say they have a ticket to 2 different stp shows?! haha, great way to start the day... though i'm now $170 deeper into my credit card, haha....

maybe we'll catch up at this show and have a drink or something....

Thanks so much for the heads up!  Just scored mine.  I was so excited to see this show scheduled for my hometown.  A perfect reason to visit.
