I am so excited for this. I really became a Genesis fan just before the last tour they did and missed out on it. I saw Phil Collins on tour back in '04, it was good, just not the same. I have just about ruined my Three Sides Live disc, one of my favorites of all time and now am dying to see them in concert. I pray they come to Michigan and play, but I don't know anyone else that is a big fan like me and will probably go by myself.
Can't manage to get to any of the UK dates :frowning: I guess I'll have to wait for the inevitable DVD of the tour. On the bright side, at least I won't have to re-mortgage the house to buy decent tickets.

Thanks Danny, saw these on pollstar yesterday, I'm assuming there will be more dates, but as of now not very impressed, a lot of Tuesday and Sunday dates, surprised they didn't book something at MSG, not that I'd go anyways since they may very well be charging Police-like prices...
Bought Giants Stadium tickets today through Amex presale -- $496 for two floor tickets including the fees! Despite being about 20 rows from the stage, this is some serious coin for a concert! This makes the $120 or so for the box set of SACDs through HMV-Japan seem like a drop in the bucket. But I kept my promise to myself that if I ever got to see any of three bands reunite, I would buy the best seats I could regardless of price. Those bands in order are Pink Floyd, The Eagles and Genesis.
It really has got out of hand and I'm finally starting to restrain myself a lot...in fact in the last 6 months, with the exception of 1 show ($40), I haven't spent more than $20 on a ticket. These big names, and especially reunions that are just retirement funds, are getting absurd. If I get to the point where I really don't care about money, which probably won't be for a while as I'm 22 and just started working in the real world, I'll pony up $500 for a pair of tickets...until then, I'll just wait until the tour DVD comes up and crank up my HT and enjoy the music at home...
Holy crap!! Craig, do you know what the range of prices was??
My brother & I have been looking forward to this for awhile. We we saw no dates in the South we decided we'd take a vacation out to California and see the San Jose & Hollywood Bowl shows. But at these prices, I dunno...
San Jose goes on presale tomorrow. I guess I'd better set a limit.
I am very lucky that they are coming to The Palace, just a 40 minute drive from my house, but man, those prices are killer. I won't be getting the close seats, probably the cheap seats for me, but at least I will be there.
In the US Press Conference, Phil mentioned that "the Lamb thing" with PG and SH is still a possibility. At the prices tickets cost, I'll just hold out for that possibility......
Yeah, that's what we decided to do as well. After all, I've seen the current touring lineup 4 times (1980-1991) already. If they add a southern leg (Dallas, Houston) to the tour we'll take in a show. Otherwise, I'm holding out hope for the ultimate reunion we all really want.
