Yea, lawn seats there are great (although totally sold out for the Eagles, so I suspect the lawn will be a bit crowded).
Ticketmaster noted that for the AC show at Trump she would play the entire "She's So Unusual" album for the 30th Anniversary, including "She BOB" Would presume we would also get the newer stuff, which from what I have heard is really good, so looking forward to that as well. Slightly off topic, but relevant if You are a fan, have you heard the show at AC HOB from a few years back with the guest stars?
King's X in June
Seen them a few times with mixed results...I see they're in Asbury Park at the Stone Pony in a couple weeks. 
Hell yeah it is.
Then you already know that the reason Counting Crows is not one of the biggest bands of the last 20 years is because Adam Duritz scat-singing and sloppy guitar playing doesn't do much for the concert-goers.
Never heard of this. Crazy how popular music festivals are becoming. I hope TV on the Radio plays a gig in Dallas when they roll through, sadly never seen them before.
I've enjoyed every Counting Crows show I've been to. I don't recall Duritz playing the guitar live. He plays the piano during some songs.
Thought they were fine in concert. Their main problem to me has always been they only put out new music every 5-6 years.
My brother is a big Counting Crows fan, and has been to many more shows than I have, and he said all were great except for one. I think it was a show around the DC area, and he said Duritz wanted the opening act, and everyone in the audience to make the whole show a sing-a-long. He said it was weird and bad, and that you could tell the band was shocked, and not happy about it. Duritz has that Dissociative Disorder, and maybe his meds weren't working good. He has said before that the long gaps in albums is due to him dealing with his mental illness. Maybe you caught him during times he wasn't all together.
They are neither good nor bad. Just kind of "there".
Damn.
I hope that is not the face value for those, although being the Stones, I think it is...I'd wait until the week of the show - although that is because I have seen them a few times already. With a weeknight show, good chance that you can pick these up "cheaper" (although one can not call $400 ish cheap), especially if you are not picky (like has to be a low row, aisle set of seats in one of two sections, or something like that) as to where you sit.Set a StubHub alert and be prepared to pounce of a set of seats that hit your mark. Or, if your work or a buddy's work has a bulletin board, sometimes these pop up at last minute there as well, sometimes at face or less than face.
Thanks Dal....I was leaning towards waiting....this helps. We're going to book the trip to Chicago regardless...which makes it easier to wait. I guess worse case we can get 3rd level....since it only seats 23k.
Dal_phan is on the money. Book the trip, you'll get what you need if you're patient. Airfare and hotels will assuredly go up, while I'm betting the Stones ticket prices will go down. The secondary market is going to take it up the pipe on this tour, so they'll start to panic soon. These shows just aren't selling that well and I'd expect them to do ticket drops all the way up to showtime, maybe even lowering the price along the way. I just pulled a section 3, row 5 for the $600 price for Chicago night 1 to see what was available. Those were Gold Package seats last week for $1200. Still kinda crazy prices, but that is a good seat. They don't want empty seats at the front of the arena. Hell, try the box office on the first night if you really want to roll the dice.gump said:
Do you think there will be much of a cost difference between the Tues 28th and Friday 31st shows?
Guess it depends on what kind of seats you want. I suspect Friday will sell more tickets, but that they'll be deals to be found for all shows. There are a couple of good Stones fan boards I follow, and people usually post ticket drop info and monitor how these shows are selling.

That's awesome. Lakewood is an underrated venue. I wish more bands still played shows there.

Seen them twice. When they were the headliner and Live opened they were very mediocre. Live blew them away as the opening act. I then saw them open for Stevie Wonder at TigerJam and they kicked ###.simey said:

Catching Volbeat at this, and Opeth and Airborne Toxic Event the week before.
