Any parking tips for the Pete?

[RonnieFranchise]

I feel like Crahded Haase is out of place in that lineup.

Any parking tips for the Pete?

Cheapest is probably down at the Forbes-Semple garage on Meyran. Across the street from Forbes Tower. Not a bad walk to get to the Pete.

This might be more of a sign of yinz being old than the lineup being bad. Side note: I had no idea Girl Talk was from Pittsburgh.

I’m 56 and know 7-8 on that poster.

This is the way

I'm old. I only recognize two of those names but couldn't name a song from either.

Groups/artists I recognize and could name songs from: The Killers, Crowded House, Wiz Khalifa (I think everybody in Pittsburgh can name at least one song of his), Juvenile, Lupe Fiasco, and I guess Girl Talk. I would recognize his mashups if I hear them, but do they have any official titles to them? I always heard them as one long DJ set.

Groups/artists I recognize but could but could not name a single song: SZA, St. Vincent, and Yung Gravy.

Yeah, avoid that open air garage just up the hill. It's a nightmare to get out of.

Allow me to have a moment. I’ve been wanting to see P!nk live for awhile. She’s playing at State Farm Arena in ATL 11/14/24 but I’m hesitant to give them any of my money. one of the guys who ran the Thrashers into the ground is still a minority owner of the arena. I’d also been checking prices and the cheapest seats in ATL were $200. so I started looking at other nearby cities. It turns out, P!nk is playing in Birmingham 2 nights later and this arena sells off single seats for $50 per. I was lucky enough to find 2 upper level seats with only 2 seats in between and certainly the occupants will be kind enough to scooch….as long as we don’t tell them we paid $100 less per ticket than they did!
P!nk puts on a HELLUVA show. I'm RIDICULOUSLY excited!

[mac5155]

Solid strategy that I've never thought to look for when scouring for cheap tickets! Enjoy

Good call on the Forbes-Semple garage but my wife wasn't too happy that I didn't warn her about the up hill walk. As for the show, this was my third time seeing DCFC but first in probably 20 years. They were solid and it was cool to hear Transatlanticsm in full. The real reason I went was to finally see The Postal Service. They were incredible. The whole night was nostalgic as hell, though I would've rather seen them at Club Laga.

Peterson sucks for concerts, at least this concert. The sound is horrible.

We did this for Billy and Stevie last year and nobody cared. (as long as you’re not asking someone to give up an aisle seat or something). Even easier if it is steel bench seating where in theory you park it where your marker on the bench is,

I'm going to see The Decemberists at The Fillmore on Wednesday. No clue what to expect.

I saw them right when Picaresque was released. Expect a great show.

Anyone selling ice cold jumbo nitrous balloons afterwards? Its a little disconcerting walking out of a concert and hearing multiple balloons pop. Ive had very good luck with the acoustics st the Pete by sitting in the lower bowl straight on from the stage.

[nocera]

Ah we were in L230-something. It was a really weird section. Same level as the suites, but obviously not a suite. Just one row of seats. The section felt like an afterthought.

Definitely not my usual concert genre so looking forward to it

That was a really fun time. The Fillmore is a nice venue, we got there about 40 minutes before showtime and parked about 15 feet from the stage. Joan in the Garden is so good, big Pink Floyd vibes here.

[MR25]

This is right down the street from me. I hate fests but that's a solid lineup.

This has already been canceled. Didn't even make it a month

[nocera]

lol sounds about right. I'm assuming it was due to ticket sales. Pricing was way too high for the market.

[dodint]

Oh man how will I ever get to see Yung Gravy and Hippo Campus together?
