First time!

Hi! I will attend my first Mellencamp-consert at this show - if I get a ticket. I'm travelling all the way from Oslo, Norway for this show. Will there be any fan club-met up or something ...?!?

This will likely be a popular show!  I am hoping to attend as well, and know several others that I'm getting tickets with!  We would love to meet up, so we will have to figure it out closer to the show!  I'm not sure if I will be able to meet prior since it starts so early, but we'll be able to figure that out later!  We will definitely be able to meet, though!  Looking forward to it!!!

I forgot about ticket sale until 75 minutes after the start but I managed to get two in Row L.
I believe that this is my first greater than 100 dollars for a regular ticket that I paid for. I got two gold tickets at Terre Haute in 2005 and I think they were 125.00 but my birthday is a week after the Clowes Hall show and it is far better than Hinkle  in terms of sound so I am pleased to be going to the one show. I will considered it my birthday gift. Will there be chances to win meet & greets like at CCB? I have yet to win but you never know. I have that Zepp song lyric in my head "Your time is going to come"  Brian

Brian, if there is a MeetnGreet, I hope your time is now!!  Looking forward to seeing you at Clowes.  And i totally agree.  Barb & I are going to be there and really didn't want to have to go to Hinkle if we didn't have to!!

Hey I got my Tickets for the show yesterday. It going to be a movie that turns into live music.
Back in 1977 I saw Alice Cooper on "The King Of Silver Screen" Tour where the stage was like a hugh TV set. He would be on screen then jump out of the screen and then he was there right in front of you live on stage. It was as if he would jump out of the screen and as his body came through the screen it would disappear off the screen then later he would jump back into the screen and his image returned to the screen. The screen was made of long strips about 5 inches wide giving it the appearance of a solid surface which allowed him and the dancers ect... the ability to jump in and out of the giant TV screen. Well I don't expect John to jump out of the screen to suddenly be live on stage but it would be cool. It was B.T.O. (Bachman Turner Overdrive) that was the opening band on this Tour De Force show in 1977.

The show will start promptly at 7pm - well, that's when the movie will start.  If you haven't already seen the movie, I recommend getting there in time to see it.  It's really interesting and I enjoyed it both times I've seen it!

I know some of you will be coming from work, and there also isn't a lot to choose from as far as dining in the area.  If we were going to meet for dinner or drinks before the show, we would need to probably meet around 4:30 or 5pm. 

Another option would be to get together after the show if we're not all ready to go home and go to bed, lol!  I'm assuming that I'll be exhausted and since I have to still get up early the next day that will not be as appealing to many.

Doug suggested that we meet a little early in the parking lot and tailgate.  What do you all think of this idea?  Any other ideas or suggestions, or does anyone even want to do anything?
