Eagles in Louisville, KY 10-16-10

Geez, surely this was a typo on this guy's part.

If I follow his theory, I should be able to get $10,000 for my
4th row tickets. LOL

Anyway, I'm looking foward to heading to Louisville in about
a week for this show in the brand new arena.

By the way, is anyone on this board going to this concert too?

We were thinking about it - until they announced Indianapolis.

Rick - I am contemplating going to this show because it is one of the only shows on a Saturday night on this leg of the tour. However, it's about a 10 hour drive for me, so I said I wasn't going unless I could get REALLY good seats. Well, I started looking for tickets several days ago, and was perplexed that there are no really good seats showing up anywhere - not on Ticketmaster (okay - that's no big surprise), not on eBay or Craig's List, and not even on broker sites. I remembered you had posted that you had a tough time finding tickets too. I couldn't figure out why nothing's showing up until I started studying the seating chart. All of a sudden, it hit me. This is no doubt an arena built for basketball. I found a picture to post to show what I mean. Look how far the first level seats extend out. Because of that, the actual floor space is very narrow. There are only going to be two floor sections across instead of the normal three and those sections only have a total of 40 seats in each row. I looked at the seating chart and I'm guessing there are only about 1/2 the number of floor seats that there are at most Eagles concerts - 2/3's at the most. This is a shame since the arena holds about 22,000 people.



So anyway, bottom line is I don't know if I'm going or not. I'm still crossing my fingers that something will come up. If anyone sees any really good tickets, I would really appreciate if you would post it here so I can grab it.

Rick-I am going to the Eagles show in Louisville. I also bought the expensive tickets . I will be in section 2 -rowD-left center-seats 13 & 14. I am taking my sister to her 1st Eagles concert. I am still working on going to see them Tuesday in Indy;saw them there in March 2009. Come by and say hi if you get a chance. I am so glad Don is better and the shows are back on. Since I live only an hour away from Indy and 3 hours from Louisville, I have to try to go to both shows.

Have fun Rick & Cheryl!!! Can't wait to hear about the new arena.

Cheryl--good luck with Indy. All last week I tried to find a decent seat and couldn't find a floor seat to be had. Guess my decision has been made for me at this point. It's really to late for me to plan to take off now if something would come up.

cheryl,

It seems we are in the same row. My wife and I are in Section 2, row D,
seats 1 and 2. They look to be on the center aisle if the diagram is correct. So, give us a shout out, a wave, or a "hello" if you get a chance.
We last saw The Eagles on Sept. 18,2008 in Nashville,TN. I'm a big
Joe Walsh fan and they didn't play "Rocky Mountain Way" in Nashville, so
I'm hoping to hear that song in Louisville. My first concert EVER was
James Gang (Joe Walsh) with REO Speedwagon opening for them many
years ago. So, me and Joe go waaaay back! LOL

Rick-I will definitely look for you and say hi. I just got me a ticket for Indy. It isn't as close as I wanted but it is on the floor by Joe and Stuart;row 8. I read where there is an opening act for Indy and Louisville. It is JD and the Straight Shot. If this is for real , I hope it doesn't mean we will get less songs from The Eagles. I've seen JD and wasn't impressed.

[Prettymaid]

Oh no Cheryl, where did you read that?

[rickmullen]

I'm disappointed to hear the confirmation on the opening act. It's just
not "my cup of tea", so to speak. And yes, I'm sure it means we will get
less Eagles songs, certainly not the full double set with intermission.
But, hey, I'll take whatever I can get. This is my last concert of 2010
and I'm going to enjoy it!

Rick

prettymaid,
It's on JD's website.

Well - I'm about to give up on getting good tickets for this anyway. I may look into trying to get really good tickets to Pittsburgh instead. It's a much shorter drive, but it's on a Tuesday night instead of a weekend.
