tightrope It's such a shame there's nothing in this area, isn't it? (What state are you in, if you don't mind my asking?) You'd think maybe Atlanta would be a good place...I just booked a hotel (a refundable rate) near the Wells Fargo Center for the night of the Philly concert. Next year's school calendars have not been published for our district, but I've got someone working on getting me info ASAP. If the last three years' calendars are any indication, I should be able to take that Friday off. I can drive to DC the night before, stay overnight with relatives there, then drive the rest of the way to Philly the morning of the concert. I'm trying to make this as affordable and as convenient for the rest of my family as possible. They can ride up to DC with me if they want to, and have a great time staying with family there while I'm in Philly at the concert.... It's all such a puzzle!!! I live in Cullman, Alabama. The trip to Dallas is close to 700 miles but Jeff is worth it! Atlanta would have been about a 3 hour drive. Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Detroit and Philly would all be about the same distance but Texas should have less traffic along the way. I saw ELO in Birmingham, Al in '78 "When I was a Boy" so it will have been 40 years. Who knows, maybe they'll add a few dates later?

OK...folks. It's late and I'm tired, and I'm having trouble finding official ticket prices (not resale sellers) for the Philly concert. Can someone direct me to a site where I can see ticket prices from the official source? I'm trying to make decisions about how much I will spend for a ticket.... Thanks in advance for any help you can offer! Check Live Nation. From what I can tell they range from $50 to $150 each.

tightrope I just hope I get all the info I need in time to purchase tickets I can afford, especially since I will have to get a hotel. I'm in central NC and Philly is really going to be the best bet for me, because I can at least see where most of the puzzle pieces can go if I choose that option. I have relatives in LA, distant family in Detroit, but those options would mean a plane ticket, plus I would have to figure out how my family will be cared for in my absence...

(I'm feeling pretty dense now!) Do you have a link I could use?

That's me going to the O2 next year. See you all there!! Cant believe this will make it three years in a row seeing Jeff play live especially when 5 years ago it looked like it would never happen.
