Hey, fellow Rutgers and Rush fans. Sorry if this is misplaced, please point me in the right direction if it is. There are three New York shows left. Just wondering if anyone has an extra seat they would want to sell me at a reasonable price. I have another option, but that would come down to the last minute, so I’m just weighing all of my options right now. Again, if I posted on the wrong forum, please let me know. I have not been active for sometime. Enjoy the day.
OT: Rush tickets, anyone?

Tickets are insanely high priced. Scummy Ticketmaster/Live Nation typically holds back tickets and does drops up to 7-10 days before each event, releasing good tickets at reasonable prices. I'm hoping to score 2 for the Sunday night show in Philadelphia--good luck!
I have a buddy who sells tickets, has been doing it for years. Can always get seats, it’s just a matter of how much you want to pay. I’m waiting on him, although I wanted to check to see if anyone else had any extras. Hopefully I’ll be there for one of the shows. Good luck!
I never disliked it. It is distinct. I’m not a huge Rush fan but I enjoy their music and always respected what they brought to the party.
I’m not going to say I completely disagree at this point in time, as most artists lose quite a bit of range as they get older. Robert Plant seems to have reinvented himself in a lower register. Unfortunately, most Rush songs require him to sing in the higher register. The musicianship is top-notch and can’t be beat. To each their own.
No reason for comment you responded to. Beauty is in the eye or ear of the beholder.
They haven’t toured in a decade and we’re never expected to tour again. In 2023 I paid $250 for Duran Duran Duran Duran Duran Duran ticket in the same section that I paid $250 now for a Rush ticket. Concert prices skyrocketed after Covid. Bottom line.
Glad you won’t be there. Typical response from someone who doesn’t appreciate their music, which is some of the best instrumental and lyrically, in the history of rock music.
I wish I had seen this sooner. We had two extra tickets until yesterday. Sorry!

Sad but true on ticket prices. As Dirty Harry said- "A man has to know his limitations."
I like Rush a lot, but not enough to drop $250 plus for tickets to see Rush. Saw them on the Snakes and Arrows tour when Neil was still alive, and I won a meet and greet with Geddy and Alex. Cool experience.
I'm going to try to fish for cheap tickets for the Sunday night show in Philly. A friend of mine is going to MSG and to TD Garden in Boston- he paid over $4,000 for four floor seats for his group. That man has higher limitations than I do!
Have a great time- Anika Niles is doing a great job and the Alex and Geddy sound great too.

Grrrrr!!!!
all good, I hope you guys enjoy the show. I’m going to try to get to one of them, either Saturday or Monday. If something changes, give me a shout!
I saw tickets for the Saturday show, Section 212 or 213, row 2, not far back from stage, for $237. That's about as cheap as they get for MSG.
All the music critics from 1975 called. They want their review back.
Anika has been amazing. They didn't take it easy on her or themselves with these setlists. That material is the deep end of the pool. Geddy and Alex have been excellent.
Agreed. I saw them in Texas. The setlist was spectacular. Entire Moving Pictures album. Full first side of 2112. The sound was a bit crappy IMO, but the band was tight as hell. I debated paying that much for a concert, but despite being a long-time fan, I'd somehow never actually seen them live. I can cross is off the list now.
I'm in same boat with AC DC, but from what's on YouTube, not sure I would spend more than $125 for a ticket for them.
Same boat with AC/DC. I've been seeing these guys for a couple years. I know it's not the real thing, but it's close enough to get my fix. They do separate Bon and Brian sets. His Brian is good but his Bon is perfect. I spent $9 (not counting beers) to see them last weekend.

Geddy had a crazy Signed Baseball Collection at one point...think he had 1927 Yankees signed team ball. Auctioned or donated some or most of his collection...know he an auction at Christie's & donated some of his Negro League stuff.
I saw that interview when he showed all that stuff. Really cool and I had no idea he was so into baseball collectibles.
Geddy had a cool mini series called Bass Players are People Too. He did shows with Krist Novoselic, Rob Trujillo, and Les Claypool at their locales.
Last night was one of the best shows I've ever seen in my life - Rush or otherwise - PERIOD. Blew away - BLEW AWAY - R40. I haven't even begun to put it all together or look at the videos because I'm afraid I'll spend $$$ on a 2nd show and the prices start around $280 in the 300's.
re: AC/DC seats as low as $125 not bad at all IMHO; I'll probably pick a couple up a couple (couldn't care less about the Howard game, TBH)

But, but, but if you go to the Rutgers game, you can hear Thunderstruck as the team takes the field. Great tune, but worst entrance song ever.
Glad you enjoyed the show!
lol (and thx!)....but you got it mixed up....we have been using "For Those About To Rock" since Greg came back. "Thunderstruck" was either at the end of 1.0 or during Flood. We actually had a dubbed recording of it that said "RUTGERS" instead of "THUNDER" at the beginning of the song. I kinda like it, actually!
The episodes with Claypool and Trujillo were excellent.
Had 3 tickets upstairs we got for $320 during presale. Can no longer go. Went to put them up on Ticketmaster for resale. Ticketmaster says they will take $60 per ticket as “seller fee”. So i had to put them up for $400. They sold in a day. Felt bad as I have been shopping for resale tickets and always see insane prices, didnt want any more than face but Ticketmaster forces your hand. They actually probably make a profit on both the sale and every subsequent resale.
Hey, just following up. Got to the Saturday night show. Sat in section 104 and got a ticket through a friend who is a ticket seller, for 285. Definitely worth it. I had tears in my eyes at times, just really experiencing things all over again from when I grew up with them back in the early 80s. Such a special show. 
“Subdivisions” got most of us I think!!! so glad you were able to go!Hey, just following up. Got to the Saturday night show.

DJ Eddie Trunk and others giving strong reviews for last night's AC DC show in Vegas.
The view from my seat at the last performance@ MSG. I'd seen every tour since Power Windows (with the exception of R30 when my daughter was born). I still can't believe that I was able to see them again AND share the experience with my kids.
Including my Rush tattoo that my GF helped designed. In a loose "trash polka" style, I tried to get a few of their 'periods' represented. Done by a wonderful Italian artist that was visiting NYC a few years ago - Stefano Galati

GO….trust me…. you will not regret it. Well worth the price of admission!
I'll second that! I was thinking about trying to score a 'day-of' ticket in Philly.
I think I agree, but I don't have any Rush tattoos. It will be a game day decision.
You may have missed, I won a meet and greet with Alex and Geddy at PNC during the Snakes and Arrows tour. My friend who went with me worshipped Rush, and he went all Wayne and Garth "We're not worthy", and I was just rolling my eyes. Alex and Geddy were very kind, gracious and down to earth.
Just bought tickets for AC/DC in Philly. Decent tix for that can be had for $55, all in. I'm cheap, and not going to drop more than $125 for Rush. No offense to them, just my limit. Been having a tremendous time catching my favorite bands in clubs for a mere $45/ticket, and a much more intimate and fun experience.
