I guess parking at this venue is absolute HELL. One main road to the venue.

I skipped this show - I got 11th row seats for $90 in Ridgefield, this one wanted around $198 for seats waaaaaay back. I'll take the cheaper show!

LOTS of availability, and we're only a few days out. Ouch.

The parking here is horrible-one lane in, one out. On 'The Tour' it took an hour to get out.

I have excellent seats for this show. Can't wait to see Gene and Paul again. Def Leppard will be fun as well. Parking is great, getting out is a bitch. We just tailgate it until most of the crowd is out then head over to the Muckleshoot Casino down the road. Fun night ahead.

KISS has never done real well in the Pacific Northwest. Even the 96 Tacoma reunion show was not totally sold out. Not poor attendance mind you, just not great compared to other shows on the tours.

IJustWanna · Post by **IJustWanna** » Fri Jun 27, 2014 8:06 am

I second the 'never done well in the NW' sentiment. The RTN show at this same venue was cancelled-apparently Paul was sick but I figured it was due to low ticket sales. The more recent shows at Key Arena in Seattle were far from sold out.

3 shows in and all have had good attendances so far. This one LOOKS like it could be a dog.Here's hoping for a HUGE walk up on a Sunday night.Weather forecast is favorable.

This will be our first amphitheatre show! Quick question...
We have G.A. Lawn Seats, do people typically line up early to get a good spot on the lawn?
If so, how early do they start lining up? Much appreciated!
Excited! One more day till KISS!!!

Show will most likely only sell 9-12,000. Being the shed holds 9,000(20,000 total), so you'll either be able get a damn good upgrade or a good spot on the lawn. Enjoy the show.

That's what I see so far. The pavilion is one of the bigger ones, it appears around 50 to 60% sold. That would bring us to ~5,000. If the lawn mirrors that we're in ~10,000 range. I'd love to hear some eyewitness reports firsthand.

mrdeuce · Post by **mrdeuce** » Sun Jun 29, 2014 7:32 am

Having fun seeing how these early shows are doing.
I'm thinking of upgrading at another show. Do they do that in advance w/Ticketmaster, or is that something I'd have to wait to do at the venue?

ETA - I see on Ticketmaster's website, they will upgrade you over the phone in advance one time. I'm seeing seats a lot better than my good seats. So much for the presale getting me better seats than just waiting.

lmao @ 60% sold... there you go with that gonzo math again.

Pray the walkup sales are huge like they were in Ridgefield... my jaw dropped when i saw the crowd... great show.. too bad about pauls voice it's extremely distracting ..even when he talks...i felt bad for the guy. Tonight will be the last Kiss show i ever go to..i want to remember them better than they are right now.

Looking at that map what percentage do you see wise guy? I see 55%, which puts us at 4,950 for the pavillion, just like I said. Another fellow FAQer saw it as 53%.

Enlighten us.

With lawn upgrades the pavilion will probably fill up pretty well.

What'd the review say ? It wasn't Paul's voice that the reviewer was talking about my friend.

I give your friend running the board in your absence credit for posting that review and not cherry picking.Yeah , I know every older vocalist has their problems. Some nights are better than others,Paul has more problems than some, thank God he's not the only vocalist in the band. But the show you're referring to, the reviewer, while ,mentioning several things they didn't like about KISS, only mentioned one vocalist by name.

raining right now...lets hope a ton of people upgrade from the lawns to the pavillion..... seeing Ridgefield fill up made me happy.. Great to see such a great crowd.

I know you guys hate talking about it but if you heard paul on friday night you would feel terrible as i did. Time to pack it in....his voice isn't getting any better.

Yes because we all know that what a reviewer says is the gospel

Vs hunting for a headline with a negative comment.

Joe Elliott is singing better now than he has in over a decade. He has complete control and the notes he can't hit he doesn't even try. Def Leppard are firing at 110% and you can see in the fact that the crowds are loving it and they don't have all of the bells and whistles to distract you from any flaws because there are none.

OK douchebag, I live 15 miles from White River and it was raining hard when I posted. Stick your cell phone weather report up your ass. You are welcome that I corrected you. You need that frequently. Any way, I'm off to the show. It is sprinkling a bit. Take the time to look for a better weather app for your phone.

Can't wait to see Gene and Paul live on stage. I'll post if I see a large line at the ticket booth for last minute ticket buyers. I hope they bring coats, it's raining a little bit right now, so I hope they all have good cell phone weather apps. I do, it says it's raining.

I stand by my statement. I just mirrored the respect given to me while still remaining an adult about the situation.

I was just pointing out that people can get awfully brave speaking from one end of a keyboard. It's a safe bet he wouldn't be full of such bravado if we were speaking face to face.

OK. I was actually talking about your original statement (where you incorrectly tried to tell other people what the weather is like where they actually live) that brought upon his response. I probably didn't make that clear the way it was quoted. In reality, he mirrored the lack of respect you originally showed with your comments.

I think if when a box score shows your numbers to be inflated and were then told to "stick to your day job" in the manner you did here that you'd respond in a similar fashion.

All could try being more respectful.

I think fans of the band always like knowing that their favorite band is doing well. Of course, oppositely, there are people who hate the current band and wish/hope/pray they don't do well.

It's ok for him to call you a douche bag though but it's so wrong for you to bring up a weather app.
