Holy shit. In only 2 hours! That's the only one less than 99% too.

10C probably got a zero in the wrong place on the # of tickets available for that show

About 1 hr 45 min from downtown louisville. About 1 hr 20 min from my house.
Yes, easy trip for me. Still, would have been such a different experience for me with a show in Louisville. I could have done so much more....
And this Cincy show is on my wife's birthday. So, there's that little wrinkle for me to think about, too...

Just not sure it's worth it anymore. 1st shows of the tour are usually fairly limited and lame in my experience, also.

Maybe I can swing a biz trip to Denver. I could have some fun on that one...

I guess I'll need to give this some thought, as my gut pissed off reaction wears off from seeing Louisville shut out yet again.

Lincoln seems safe, but MN and CO will probably be the most sought after shows on the tour.

MN? Why?

I think Milwaukee and Denver will be the toughest tickets.

By population, the Twin Cities is significantly bigger than any other town on the tour. Also, the 'please play MN' thread on the Pit has been going on for a long time, MN fans are ready for a show. Really have no facts other than that.

Didn't the 2003 show sell the poorest of all the US dates in 2003? I read that but I am unsure if true.

sadly, it barely even got a mention last year in Philly.

If history repeats, the 2nd to last show will be the best show.

Ed has always pushed that notion, but I have seen many 2nd to last shows and although they were great, the three tour closers I've seen topped all of them.

This sounds made up.

Louisville would have likely been the first show of the tour had it made the cut. It sounds like it was always between Cincy/Louisville.

Also, tour opener in Pittsburgh last year was amazing, best out of my 2013 which were Wrigley, Pitt and Buffalo. Just sayin'

I entered for Tulsa and Milwaukee. If Milwaukee odds drop too much, I may switch to St. Paul or Memphis instead.

Yeah, and I'm really a teenage girl with a potato fetish. Hypotheticals are fun.

Those three are all pretty shitty shows, IMO. And I was at wrigley and both Worcesters. Hartford has its moments I guess.

That dumbass baseball player really took the Pitt show to new heights, though. Maybe you're right.

There I go with hypotheticals again

West coasters aren't even home from work yet. The odds, if they truly are dynamic, won't be stable for 2-3 days and will likely skew all over the place at the last second.

So what. I don't live in Nebraska.

Then travel like the rest of us? You aren't the only one who gets skipped every fucking tour...

Oh, I travel. I travel lots. I've been to plenty of shows and spent plenty of time and money.

My reason for complaining has nothing to do with anyone else other than me.

So back off

First time I heard him say it was Charleston 1996. West Palm Beach was better.

Saw DC 1998....West Palm Beach was better

In 2000 I was lucky enough to see 9/5/00. MUCH better than the night before in DC. Ed referenced the whole 2nd to last show deal at that show as well, saying that the closer felt better.

2003 - Hershey was good. Wish I was at Holmdel.

2004 - Kitchner was definitely better than Asheville

2006 - I'm in the 2nd night of the Gorge camp, but hard to argue that it was better than the first night. I thought it was.

Anyway, so glad they are coming to Denver. Not the 2 night run at Red Rocks I was hoping for, but......I had to miss Charlotte because of moving. This will more than make up for it. (PS. So glad I moved to Colorado. This place is amazing!)
