Official August 3 Cleveland, OH, Blossom Music Center Meetup/Review Thread

[Va Beach VH Fan]

Welcome to the Official August 3 Cleveland, OH, Blossom Music Center Meetup/Review Thread. This thread is to discuss anything leading up to the show, as well as all reviews.

Let's hear it !!

Very limited options for pre-show at Blossom. Gotta talk to some cuntry fans I know and see what they do. I haven't been to Blossom in about ten years and last I knew alcohol in the parking lot was strictly verboten.

Aftershow could probably be at the Hard Rock Rocksino, halfway back to civilization and open 24 hours.

Talked to the cuntry fans today. Some shows, the gates open at 4 and the partying commences. They report that lot security is not as bad as it has been in the past. Most people drinking out of the red Solo cup (a cuntry thing?) with some easily identifiable beer cans in full view. I would say don't be too big of an asshole and you'll fly under the radar.

Depending on how many are coming, I would do what I had planned to do at the canceled "Heavyweights" show in Buffalo, '02...fly a big balloon over our location and that's where we will be. Maybe a No Holds BBQ in the parking lot.

I know there is a 70's style drive-in hot dog joint up the street from Blossom but they don't serve beer, and traffic could be a mess depending on what time we leave.

Hard Rock Rocksino is about a half-hour away from Blossom and has some EVH stuff on display.

No pre-sale? I guess I don't need a pre-sale for lawn seats.

[twonabomber]

Done! See you bums at the show!

So a few weeks ago the Live Nation site says no pavilion tickets available. Yesterday I check and see that it is already in "pick your ticket" mode, with nearly half the pavilion unsold. If there is a fire sale on pavilion tickets later I will be flipping my lawn seats and getting pavilion.

It's a Live Nation promotion....

Heard the same offer for the Pittsburgh show on the sports radio streams.....

Not surprising at all.

I saw two venues that were selling lawn seats "15 shows for $15" and the Van Halen shows were included in both venues 15.

Like VA said, it's a big Live Nation promo. Locally they are running the special at Blossom and at Jacobs Pavilion downtown.

Looked up pavilion seats at Blossom, the fire sale hasn't started yet but the back corners have $40 seats, must buy four.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

[twonabomber]

Pre-show may be at BW3 in Streetsboro.

I may have two lawn tickets to unload.

[twonabomber]

I DO have two lawn seats to unload. Posted locally too. Face was $60.
