I will put more details on the Foxwood concert thread but there are good Amtrak trains from Penn Station to New London - takes 2 1/2 hours Car rental for one day is cheap $50 and the AirBnB prices are great around the area. It is a good alternative to staying at the Casino hotel. If anyone goes that route, might even be able to carpool to the concert and not have multiple parking fees. Havent' looked them up but they are usually pricey. The Foxwoods hotel was $140 for 2 beds, that was cheap to me compared to what I'm paying in Beverly Hills near the El Rey!

Do you have to wait until Dec 20 for the tickets to be delivered to your phone? That's what was holding me back from buying one on StubHub? Yes, that is what their email said. So I won't be able to resell - Barbara will go in with me, and have to find someone who wants to go in with us I guess...... I don't even know if I'm going yet. THe flights are few and expensive from here, etc. I'd have to work out sharing a ride from either LAX to Indio and back to west LA and to LAX or fly into Palm Springs airport, etc. I'd be by myself. I see where I can get one single ticket for $130 to be delivered on Oct 2nd. Still not sure I want to. lol. I'm not good at making decisions hastily....lol. Lordy....there's $40 in Stub Hub Fees. Makes a $49.50 to over $170.

I bought 2 tickets on stubhub (by accident) for the El Rey when I was trying to get one for another atopper. Forgot to change quantity to 1. So I have 1 extra at $125. You would have to go in with me and Scorpio because they will be flash tickets on my phone. Do you have to wait until Dec 20 for the tickets to be delivered to your phone? That's what was holding me back from buying one on StubHub? PS, what is interesting is that the 2 tickets I bought on the Amex presale for El Rey are already in my AXS app, and there are 2 buttons above them, 1 says Transfer and 1 says Sell - so I guess you can transfer or sell to another axs app once you actually have the tickets in there. But I don't have the SH ones yet to do anything with. And I'm not gonna sell these 2 just in case something happens with the SH ones.

METALHEAD ZONEDAVID LEE ROTH REVEALS HIS REAL THOUGHTS ON QUEEN’S ADAM LAMBERT Van Halen’s legendary frontman, David Lee Roth was recently interviewed by Rock 100.5 – WNNX-FM and revealed how he’s preparing for his upcoming Las Vegas tour.
As you will read his words below, Van Halen legend called Mick Jagger, Adam Lambert, Lady Gaga, and Bruna Mars as constant singers.
Here is what he said, transcribed by Blabber Mouth:
“I started getting ready for this show four months from now last October. You start to prepare yourself. You become a constant singer, whether you’re Mick Jagger… Who else has a great voice that’s new?
Adam Lambert, singing with Queen. Constant singer. When he’s not with the band, he’s out on his own. Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars — constant singers. We are like boxers. Our whole body is what accounts for the effect.
I’m not saying you spend any less time perfecting your instrument on a guitar or piano, but I am saying that it is relatively easier to play that instrument with a hangover.”
You can listen to the whole interview below.
< Embedded Audio >
metalheadzone.com/van-halens-david-lee-roth-reveals-his-real-thoughts-on-queens-adam-lambert/ This is awesome, I included it in the Peers Talking section of the Full Circles site, with a link to the Blabbermouth version of the article. Also linked the MM quote to USA Today, and included a second quote from Rob Halford with a link to the video where he says it. I will work on adding more reference links to the other quotes where possible... If you listen to the audio, he mentions Adam very early in the interview, in the first couple of minutes. Nice to hear him mention Adam as a great singer. I assume DLR has seen QAL?

Flying Saturday, back Monday. Luckily, using some miles for that flight. #crazyglambert And my trip to Indio and LA is just as crazy - we will have 5 in the car on the road trip from Orange County. Fly in early Friday to Orange county, drive to Indio, then drive to LA, then drive back to Orange Co, then fly north - Merry Christmas to me!

Oh dear! lol I went ahead and got that one SH seat to be delivered on Oct 2 to Flash Seats. Guess I'll have to DL that app...I just installed the AXS app. I feel so uncertain using my phone as a ticket, etc....but I gotta learn . Maybe I'll be able to transfer/sell it once I get it. WE'll see. Both FS and ElRey together aren't nearly as much as I spent on one Gold VIP for QAL...lol But then there's the hotel and flights....etc. Guess we should move these convos about logistics, and tickets to the Member's Only meetup threads....

I got my two tickets for the El Rey on Stubhub - went there pretty much immediately once "no tickets available" through the regular seller. Darn it, I paid 20 more per ticket than I would have had to pay last night, if I had trusted myself. So far, I have had no issues with Stubhub, so I hope that waiting for the tickets to become available by December 20 won't be too nerve wrecking. It's definitely weird to plan a whole trip around two tickets that you don't even have yet. Only for Adam...

The Foxwoods has these packages available for Carrie Underwood in October that include a room and a show ticket. They don't have that for Adam, but I wonder if they will have these packages available at some point, and maybe they are saving some tickets (like the left side tickets that didn't sell) for those packages?? Just a thought. But at least for Carrie, they don't tell you specifically where your seats are.......

I can’t go to any Adam shows so I’m kind of skimming the ticket-buying adventures. But from what I see it reminds me of my angst getting Rolling Stones tickets last December! There has to be a better way!
