Hi,
I wanted to share with you all, I have just booked a flight to Chicago
(transit via... Athens, Amsterdam & Paris!) for
the July 10th show! Moreover, it was just recently announced on Dennis' site
that he will be performing in Chicago as well, two days later, on July 12th!
WooHoo! So, after 12 years, I will be seeing them live for the 1st time
since Houston, in 1997! That is, of course, because the band is still around
and you "spoiled" American listees
should be very grateful for that :) I am sure you are.
Let me thank everybody who replied in the "VIP Packages" thread. Then,
I was desperately looking for any possibillity of purchasing a package that
would allow me to get backstage and get some photos with the band but, after
your replies and a few emails I exchanged with "All Access" and StyxWorld, I
understood that it is rather in vain... I have confirmed now that no one can
guarantee meeting any of the band members, or whose soundcheck will be on
that day. Even the "pre-show party" will be a fan-only meeting... so why
pay those extra $$$s? Not even the exact seat location will be available
until you get there.
Thus, I decided to get an ordinary ticket (section 204, row J at the Charter
One Pavilion) and hopefully enjoy the show.
I'll be very happy to meet any fellow listees and... more than very happy
if anyone could help me out in the search for a backstage pass -I mean, I'm
desperate,
PLEASE, anyone?!? :-)))
