I hope a definite announcement about this added show is made soon. I've already bought my plane tickets for the CA shows, but to add one more show I'll happily try to change them! 4 shows in less than a week--just like heaven!

crowbi_wan · February 18, 2008, 01:28:42

I'll probably add this show as well. I already have that day off from work, so why not?

Plainsong · February 18, 2008, 01:30:55

My only real concern about adding it is getting from San Jose to Santa Barbara with time to both sleep and get there early for the second show, since we have general admission tickets. I wonder what the GA capacity for the Santa Barbara Bowl is and how early we need to show up if we want to be nice and close!

crowbi_wan · February 18, 2008, 01:39:02

I'm not too worried about getting there eary since I have a seat. I was going to go for the pit, but opted to stick with my sweet spot behind the mixing desk. You'll understand why at a later time not too long after the show 8)

It should be between 4 and 5 hours to drive to Santa Barbara, right?

Plainsong · February 18, 2008, 01:43:31

I think it's about 4.5 hours, depending on traffic, yep. If only I could go without sleep for just one day!
I couldn't resist pit tickets for this one show since Cure fans are so nice to be in a pit with in my experience at Curiosa--but your location makes me quite happy too.

I have high hopes for the Santa Barbara show--the small size of the venue should make for a really intimate night and I hope the band really takes advantage of it.

edit: wasn't missing, just strayed on a wrong board. topics merged now.

ernest newman · February 26, 2008, 18:26:52

supposedly they are trying to use the entire arena according to the map, we will see how that turns out

Plainsong · February 26, 2008, 18:28:54

Anyone been to a concert there before? What are the acoustics like?

Pooka · February 26, 2008, 20:50:33

I'm willing to bet they won't even sell 2/3 of the SJ Arena or ahem HP Pavillion.

Yes...going to be interesting indeed.

Same here.

Same here!!!!

Was planning on getting in the GA line at SB around noon.
Don't know what the hell im going to do now.

Plainsong · February 27, 2008, 00:02:24

I'm starting to rationalize it a bit by thinking that 2 shows, 2 nights in a row, might beat being on the railing for one show. Quantity over quality, style of thing...

sullen · February 27, 2008, 00:47:20

Yeah, I see where you're coming from, but SB is the only on the railing oppertunity this time.

ughhh

I'm trying to figure out what to do.
Thinking an early AM flight from SJ to SB.

Presale begins in less than an hour. Good luck for those attempting to get tickets. Let's hope the presales offer up some primo spots this time around.
