The show is almost sold out! I was gonna head down at the last minute, but the remaining seats are terrible!

nibbler1982 · Post by **nibbler1982** » Thu Jul 10, 2014 5:06 pm

Austin's gonna be 14,000 strong that night.

Last time I saw KISS in Austin I was at the Frank Erwin Center for Alive! 35.

Great show, great crowd.

It was my 40th birthday and what better present could I buy myself than 4th row center for the hottest band in the world! Everyone in town was talking about how it was the coldest day in like 20 years. I left NYC that morning and it was sunny and 65 degrees...figures.

Must be $200 tickets going for $20.

It appears that there are only 82 tickets left in the whole venue.

Go KISS.

Tickets are so soft for this show, they can barely retain the properties of a solid. Do not put these soft tickets in your pocket on your way to the show, because they will most likely dissolve long before you arrive at venue. So damn soft these tickets.

49 tickets and counting...

I think they're playing tricks on us KT. Some of those tickets left might be employee or comps the see they're not gonna use. A couple of new ones might pop up here or there.

I just counted 52 now.

When those 52 don't sell, someone will get an upgrade and claim there were thousands of em.

Just dumping back in the unsold M&G's and VIP's.

Hell yeah! Gonna see a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame act tomorrow night. Yes, boys and girls, I'm going to go see some legends.
Can't wait.

Ticket demand for KISS is worse than soft, very soon someone will start a thread that ticket sales are "liquid."

Texas is always good to KISS. I expect all three shows to be sold out or close to it as of show time.

and they skipped San Antonio this time out. sucks for me. and SA's just down the road

Damn, no more Christine Sixteen?

KISSman24 · Post by **KISSman24** » Sat Jul 12, 2014 11:39 pm

While the God Of Thunder for Christine Sixteen swap out makes this look even more like a greatest hits setlist -- especially when you compare it to Night #1, I MUCH prefer GOT to C16.

strangeways747 · Post by **strangeways747** » Sun Jul 13, 2014 2:11 am

Dump Psycho Circus and put Creatures of the Night in it's place and then dump War Machine and put Christine 16 there.

Slick2007 · Post by **Slick2007** » Sun Jul 13, 2014 4:04 am

One more song away from the exact same setlist(s) as before..........

KF73 · Post by **KF73** » Sun Jul 13, 2014 5:04 am

OK... throwing GOT back into the mix has me more excited for Tampa again. Still not pleased about PC as the opener though.

Thank god. That song is not on my favorites list.

mrdeuce · Post by **mrdeuce** » Sun Jul 13, 2014 5:48 am

Glad LMGRAR is out, but wouldn't mind another option besides Cold Gin.

Wildwood75 · Post by **Wildwood75** » Sun Jul 13, 2014 7:47 am

To all those who went...I hope it was everything you anticipated. I am hoping they mix the set-list up more often and not get stuck in the rut of the same set of songs.

I would love to hear "Creatures of the Night" added as an opener, mixing the openers a bit. I would love to hear the band add "Take Me" to the set as well as "Firehouse."

@Kissthat: Thanks so much for posting the set-list.

Thumbs up on the attendance numbers!
Thumbs down on the set list. It's just getting very manila.

If you told me as a kid in '77 that after Gene spit blood in his solo he would fly up fifty feet to stand on a huge mechanical spider and sing God of Thunder I would've freaked out.

So awesome to see GOT back in the set!!! Hopefully it is still there for Tampa. By the way... Gene's voice actually sounds pretty good these days!
