I hope to go to this one or St Louis. Why not both?

At first I thought this venue was the big one that sat like 18,000 people and I was like I don’t want to go and have to watch them on a screen but the Rosemont seats like 4,500 which is still big but much better so I am thinking of maybe going. I wish it wasn’t on a weekday though. If I go I will probably go myself, I took my daughter to tatinof and she was not into it at all. I know I am way older then most people just turned 41 but I don’t care if I look stupid or whatever cause this is about seeing two guys that have been part of my life for a really long time and they make me happy so. If I do go I will for sure come back and let you know how it was. For The record I think this will be a really fun great event.

I am trying to sell a ticket for this show. It’s a fairly good seat, Section 111, Row E, Seat 11. I’m interesting in selling it for the price I purchased for. But also I’d hate to see the ticket go to waste, so if you are interested please contact me no matter what and we can work something out!!

It doesn’t seem like section 111 has a row E? I don’t know maybe I’m reading the seating chart wrong.

I’m considering going to this date and I’m 51. My daughter is going with me to St. Louis, but feels weird about going twice. I would love to meet up and bond over being older fans if we both end up going. I want to find out what others experience of going to more than one show has been. I can’t imagine it wouldn’t be good.mamaphan wrote: ↑Sat Nov 11, 2017 5:42 pm At first I thought this venue was the big one that sat like 18,000 people and I was like I don’t want to go and have to watch them on a screen but the Rosemont seats like 4,500 which is still big but much better so I am thinking of maybe going.

It doesn’t look like there is a row E in section 111? Maybe I’m reading the seating chart wrong or have the wrong one? How much is the ticket?obliviongrace wrote: ↑Wed May 09, 2018 2:09 pm I am trying to sell a ticket for this show. It’s a fairly good seat, Section 111, Row E, Seat 11.

Hi, sorry for the late reply! You are correct - I wrote down the wrong row letter on accident! The ticket is for section 111, row R, Seat 11. I'll message you about a price!Susanisnotafish wrote: ↑Sun May 13, 2018 5:51 amIt doesn’t look like there is a row E in section 111? Maybe I’m reading the seating chart wrong or have the wrong one?

I went to this show! Just came back to the ol’ idb to share some thoughts and reflections with anyone who cares to read as much or as little of it as they please (and warning: it’s long af but broken down so you can easily skip what you’re not interested in). The goal is to share as much I can so hopefully folks who choose to read before their show(s) can set themselves up for the best possible experience and those who read after can reflect and relate.
So I, a 30+ single a** childless a** fan (read: so I can’t even be cute like those “my husband/daughter/niece loved it!” people) had a really nice time at the show. And if I can, you probably can too.
First, a minimal-spoiler (really only talk about the general nature of how they speak to the audience) note on seat location if you haven’t bought tickets yet or are thinking of switching:
Now on to the review!
Before the Show
Arriving at the Venue/Audience Vibe
Rather than a play by play from here, I’m going to focus on a few highlights in various areas from throughout the show.
Stage Presence
Super cute moments
Foin moments (warning: skip if you'd prefer not to go down the thirsty heaux route today :twisted: )
Genuinely funny moments that deserve all the props
Moments that deserve... a participation trophy
Revealing/New moments
And finally...my hopes for next time

@starlight-still, what an amazing show recap!! Thank you for posting that. I really love your opinions on what part of the show worked and what didn't, that's like my favorite thing to hear people who have just been discuss.

I wasn’t sure where I was supposed to post this but I want to share because I just got back from II in Chicago! It was extremely fun. I was so scared I was going to hate it for a variety of reasons but it was great (IMO)... why did I ever doubt them? (I didn’t look up spoilers before going so it was mostly all new to me).
When it first started and WTTBP was playing and everyone was singing, it was past the show’s start time (not sure if that’s typical) and I did for a split second wonder if the whole show would be songs playing and they would never come out, LOL. Everyone seemed to be having a blast without them anyway! But then of course they did come out.
I was partly scared the screaming would ruin it for me. The screaming did not ruin it, on the contrary I felt it made the show much better because they worked it so well. I was impressed, they are obviously experienced with their own audience. I think it honestly would have been boring without the screamers so thank you to everyone who lost their voices tonight.
I was also scared it was going to make me feel bad as a fan. It didn’t. I mean they did talk about fandoms etc and the crazy mob mentality / treating them like sims etc. But it didn’t seem like they were mad at us (not sure why I was expecting that but I was). I felt it ended more on a positive note about their audience. In fact I thought the way they used the screaming (which would have inevitably occurred anyway) to improve the show rather than detract from it was an example of them almost appreciated their audience too. So it didn’t make me feel bad.
I couldn’t hear the words during Phil’s diss track. It was too loud; all I could hear was a couple words and mostly really loud thumping. I’m going to have to look them up.
Overall, really fun experience. I’m not a show-going person at all but I’m so glad I went to this one.
Next I’m going to start reading transcripts from other shows if I can find them!
