They're starting on the friggin WEST COAST for once! OMG!!! I'm hitting up my usual Los Angeles and Anaheim, and REALLY want to do Sacramento too for Jonny's b-day. But we'll see. It mainly depends on how broke I am! lmfao
Now, for Giants (a.k.a. New Meadowlands), Ticketmaster general sales will be Oct. 31 at 10:00 AM
Take a stab at the prices. Go on, do it.
$36-$150.
Okay, go ahead and read that again.
$36-$150
Yep, you read right! The tour - well, this show at least - is priced for the working man!! Can we say heart attack?! (I don't know the prices for the rest of the shows though, but Giants can't possibly be the cheapest option!?)
So. Here's my next point of insanity: I'M GOING TO GIANTS.
*blinks*
Holy FLUCK I'm going to Giants. I cannot believe I'm going to GIANTS!!!!!!!!! I have wanted to see Jovi there for the past three tours and have always missed them!! But with those prices, how can I resist?! That's dirt cheap compared to last tour, as we all know.
The insanity is just deepening, the nerves are fraying, and the excitement is bursting. I cannot WAIT for this tour to come around.
Now can someone give me a million bucks?! LOL!!
~~~
Oh, also, the band played their "super secret show" today at Giants/New Meadowlands - and I heard it was fantastic. If friends give me permission to share pics, you bet your bottom dollar I'll have them up here for the rest of you soon. ;)
