Crowd-free merchandise shopping!
Parking**

And----Van Fucking Halen Live!

From what I read at DDLR.com & Links...the 5 STAR PKG. does NOT include a "Meet n' Greet".

That's a whole lotta $$$ for no money. Dave never comes out of his dressing room before he hits the stage, so you take a gamble with the 5 Star that you'll see anyone backstage other than maybe Wolfie and the caterer...

Wow...and to think that last summer I paid $35.00 to see Dave play, get my picture with him backstage and be at the front of the stage...

My, how the value rises when you put Dave and Ed side-by-side!

I'll buy a $150.00 ticket and watch the TV screens and try to catch Dave & Ed before they board their limos...

No way in hell will I pay that kind of money for a rock band bullshit package. Plus I've hung with the DLR Band at a titty bar, and yes Dave was fucking there. That was worth more than any 5 Star assfuck from Live Nation.

I was at the FW tour concert in Oakland a few years back....81ish...worst god damn seats in the house (2nd to last row....seated) and I had a fucking blast....Epic show.

I saw 'em in 84....in the pits---battling for position, 1st or 2nd row throughout. Lost a watch in a battle for Ed's pic tossed my way. Lost the watch and the fucking pick. But---Anyway---Best show I've ever seen hands down. Roth dialed in like never before. Never thought the next time I'd see 'em together would be twenty fucking whatever years later!

Oh yeah---spend the money and see 'em up close this time. It's only fucking money after all? And hey---chances are you won't get you watch ripped off with reserved seats.

iloveallaccess FAQ actually states "No meet and greets are promised on this tour."

It's not much better but the same statement is made for Def Leppard. The Eagles/Dixie Chicks FAQ states "Sorry, no meet and greet is offered with either package."

Just thought I'd provide the facts instead of allowing bitter paraphrasing from folks that just want to bitch about every little thing (not you Bantonelli but the folks that provided you the info).

2nd concert ever! 1980, Late July 1980 chicago international ampitheatre- some of UFO Strangers recorded here! What an awesome fucking VENUE! 8000-1200 maybe! Like all good things in life, it came to an end and demolished! Anyway! 1st concert ever same venue, same band April 1980! Back to point(AS SOME MUTHERFUCKERS DON'T LIKE IT WHEN I GET DRUNK AND TRY TO TELL A STORY "DAVE STYLE", (LICK ME- say's REAGAN!), Had last row seats straight away from stage! Me and my bud! 15 years old 5 joints! Best FUCKIN CONCERT I HAVE SEEN AFTER 27 years of concerts and all the "TOP BANDS" MCCCA, STONES, AC/DC, ETC> ETC>

That's hilarious, but a great idea!

Brownsound is right....Dave played small venues, and if you were lucky like Brownsound and myself, you got the 5 STAR PKG without the "Mortgage Payment" price tag.

Well, at least knowing that there is No Meet n' Greet, it helps me to figure out whether I want to spend a fortune on a 5 or 4 Star pkg. or get tix somewhere around $150.00.

The good thing too is that if you end up purchasing the $60.00 nosebleed tix, you can watch the screens on the sides of the stage, which also provide a great view!

[bantonelli]

If you buy the 5 or 4 Star, you take a chance, but you might be the lucky one to meet the legends...


maybe I should go for broke....what the hell!?
