Totally agree and share your sentiment.

Same here Becky. :)

That is what I figured, but going by memory...usually such packages are not listed as part of the normal range of prices for just a seat alone, which leads me to believe that those prices are for the first several rows on the floor.

Should I even bother joining Backstage again for the pre-sale?

Shanks has been producing albums for too long
He co-writes many of the songs
Second most influential person
Plays guitar on many of the songs
Richie departed
Hired guns

On the other hand, Jon replaced Richie by Shanks 10+ years ago so it would make sense to have him onstage on lead or rhythm guitar just like Richie when he was the main co-songwriter and co-producer along with Jon. Pure logic.

They did show the top price last tour which ended up being the ticketmaster packages. But, to that point, you are correct, that means the first several rows will have a seat and be packaged with other stuff...just a hunch based on the promoter being Live Nation. I have joined the fanclub to see if, like last time (though very scarce), there are some non package seats that will be good.

the prices seem high, I hope the line up stays intact, especially john shanks and everet, the percussionist.
I want to believe jons voice will improve after some shows, when he llfeel the crowd is there for him and the band is tight he will have the confidence he needs.
I couldn't watch the band after Richie but now i think this line up suits them, Richie will always be missed but at least now there are some capable guitarists to do the songs justice live

Everett confirmed yesterday on his facebook account that hell be touring with the band

nice, good news, he adds sonically for sure, it would be interesting if he used electronic drum pads as well to reproduce the electro vibe of the album live

So starting from 35$ dollars, ticket range and prices should be about 100-150 dollars for Diamond/Golden circle, which make them affordable in Europe too.
