I know it's only a rumor, but.....Genesis reformed?? (1 Viewer)

[Jeff_CusBlues]

I'm looking forward to the SACD releases more than this tour.

 

[Brandon_T]

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.

 

[Brandon_T]

Does anyone know when the US tour dates and ticket sales will be announced?

 

[PaulDA]

Probably in the late winter/early spring of next year as the shows are scheduled to start in September.

This morning, I secured tickets to the opening gig of the Turn It On Again tour in Helsinki on June 11.

Looking forward to the remastered albums as well to brush up on my Genesis awareness. A couple of early albums are absent from my collection.

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...

 

[Craig Rosenthal]

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.

 

[Aaron Silverman]

Pardon my French, but what the f*** has happened to rock concerts to make tickets cost $250?!?!?!

 

[Colin Jacobson]

People willing to pay that much?

 

[Matt Fisher]

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...

 

[Craig S]

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.

 

[Brandon_T]

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.

 

[Jeff Bamberger]

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......

 

[Craig S]

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.

 

[TonyD]

so change the title to take out the rumor thing
