The more I get to know you, the more I am BLOWN AWAY by your thoroughness and organizational skills. That is probably a large part in why you're on the AWF B.O.D.

Not sure if I'll be going to this, but it would be cool to hear a good majority of The Unforgettable Fire.

Do we have to buy the tickets from Ticketmaster or can we get them at the fair?

 

[TheEdge U2JT]

Yes, ou can get tickets that day at the Pacific Amphitheater box office and not pay the Ticketmaster charges.

 

[Doozer61]

Even better! Thanks, Chas!

 

[Lila64]

how much are tickets?

 

[TheEdge U2JT]

how much are tickets?

Reserved seats range from $12.50-$17 but that includes admission to the Fair which is normally $10.00. There is a General Admission Grandstand area where you can get in with just the $10 normal Fair ticket but those seats are not reserved. Hope to see ya tomorrow!

 

[dsmith2904]

I am not going to be able to make it tomorrow night after all but the LA Fair looks very promising, as does Romano's in October (and possibly The Blue Cafe show, depending on how plans shake out for my niece's birthday). Have fun everyone!!

Feel better soon.

 

[dsmith2904]

[Lila64]

For those that are going - are you in reserved or GA?

 

[Mr. BAW]
