good deal on revelation

[webo]

At Lifeway, I pre-bought the CD for $7.99 ($8.65 with tax) , got a charcoal-gray Revelation T-shirt and a $5 gift card. So essentially, I got a CD and T-shirt for $3.65. That doesn't make up for the exorbitant ticket prices for the upcoming Tour, but it's nice to be thrown a bone once in awhile. Heckuva deal.

[BigDaddy]

That is a great deal. As far as the tour, you've got to think of it as three bands that could probably headline their own tour at a minimum of $35 a piece. I know they're higher than usual, but justifiable (imho).

Did you get that online or at the store? (lookin' for my car keys) :cool: That IS a sweet deal!

Yeah, tickets were a bit of a shocker! :eek: I never thought I'd ever pay THAT much for a concert, but it is a phenomenal lineup all in one place. My justification for buying one is that I don't have to drive far and spend my life savings on gas to fill up my car, don't have to get a hotel room, don't have to eat out anywhere if I don't want... traveling to shows in NC, SC and MD before has cost be well over $125 a show. One great show, one great seat this tour... I'm great with that. Hoping to see tix drop back to a more reasonable level after the Music Builds tour... or I'll have to settle for one great FINAL memory! I don't think I'll pay that much again.

I got it at the store. They give you the T-shirt at the same time you pay.

The problem is that we get less than an hour of Third Day. I'd rather do without the Randolph Band (and yes, I have seen videos of them and recognize their ability) and get 100 minutes of Third Day. I'd also do without Jars of Clay if it meant lower ticket prices and more 3D.

Well, for me, it's ALL great music... even RR & the Family Band (makes me wanna dance)! I probably listen to Jars even more than Third Day on a regular basis (hope that doesn't get me kicked off the boards... :o )... also have all of Switchfoot's cd's and the one time I saw them in concert made me want to see them again! More Third Day is always good, though. I'm looking forward to them being the ONLY headliner during the next tour, but I'm betting on some great surprises during this tour, too!

Now I have to remember where the LifeWay store is in VA Beach...:confused: Thanks for the great tip, Webo! :)

[TaiAnderson]

I don't know if there will be a couple hundred $125 tickets for Houston, where I think WEBO is from. But, there are 8,000 lawn tickets available. Third Day + Switchfoot+Jars Of Clay+ Robert Randolph for as little as $18/ $13 for a group. Just like you find a great value for the cd, there are great values for this tour.

We will be playing a full set length with a great production.

[TN3Dmom]

Thanks for the info, Tai. In regards to the # of $125 tix at each venue, have you seen my inquiry in the Nashville thread? Just curious. And I am really loving this tour lineup. I would love it if everyone played 1 1/2 hour sets, but that would make for a really long evening, I'm sure.

Also, was the lifeway shirt one of those one size fits all?

[BJ]

...

See... now that's the kind of surprise I'm talking about! I'm anticipating this to be one awesome production all around! When you've got THAT many creative minds together (kind of like a wagon of monkeys with some firecrackers and a box of matches), things could just EXPLODE! AND, apparently a longer 3D set than someone reported... WOW!

Tai, can you do your best Gomer (!!!) Pyle impression when you take the stage in VA Beach and say... "Sur-prahz, sur-prahz, sur-prahz!"? :eek: :P :D

Exorbinate ticket prices? It is my understanding that you got excellent seats at an excellent price, well below the $125. I always say, "You get what you pay for". From what Tai has been saying, we will be getting what we pay for at this show. I can't wait!

Houston was actually one of the few venues where the ticket prices for the front most seats were considerably less expensive. I think they were only like $55 or so.

I'm still trying to figure out the ticket distribution for Nashville? The closest tier 2 priced tickets I have seen were fourteen rows back. That is definitely more than 100 or so tix at $125.

Thanks. That's what I thought, although webo said above you get it when you pay? I won't be making a special trip or anything, but that is a cool shirt, and I probably do need a large.

I checked their website, so it might be worth going to the store if they give you the shirt there.

Unfortunately, yes: Large. But if you like smaller sizes, I'm pretty sure you could shrink it.

[webo]

At the Lifeway in Katy, Texas, they will give you the shirt right away. I can't speak for the others, but I imagine they are the same.

Weren't the pit tickets going for $125 for Houston? That was my understanding. I'm not sure because they were no longer available when I was able to enter the ticket-buying fray. (Not that I would have spent that kind of money anyway.) And I would consider that exorbitant.

I got two tickets for $108, including service fees. That's the most I've ever paid for a Christian concert. By far. I know we can't turn back the clock and see 3D in a 1,000-seat church for $10, but for me, I'd prefer less "production" if it means a big chunk out of my wallet. I don't need images projected on a white background screen and fireworks and rotating drum sets. I'm pretty old-fashioned: I just like the music.

But I know it will be a special night. It will be the only concert my son and I see this year (other than a free KSBJ brown-bag gig). Tai, I know that you guys will make great memories for us.

Whooo hoooo. A full length set!!! So happy to hear that!!! I have paid the $125 plus fees and yes it hurt, but it is gonna be so good on Sept 12th at Virginia Beach. Front Row center. Somebody hold me down. Who knows, I might even catch a pick!!
I think it is going to be well worth the price to see this traveling "Festival". A once in a lifetime show really.

Oh my dear, dear Rose. I would not be able to sport the color of orange anymore if I did not share my photos with you guys. I plan to take a couple bazillion pics and post as many of them as a thread can hold!! My SD card will hold like 300 or 400 pics. I forget. I will also have my best friend Roma right beside me also taking about a bazillion pics with her camera. She is a pretty good photographer too. During the Christmas Tour she snapped away and I took a little break to just drink in the show without a camera to my face. Please check out my Christmas tour thread with the pics Roma and I took that nite.

No, no, no honey child!! Silly is walking around in a huge arena in your orange Gomer shirt with a silly orange Santa hat on your head!!! :eek: :P And I would not have traded it for anything. There is something about wearing orange that just makes me feel proud. I guess cuz my favorite band is the best band in the world. And wearing orange just suddenly causes you to be adopted into this wonderful Gomer family, and we all just sit around and talk and laugh and hug like we have known each other forever. WEAR YOUR ORANGE!! You will be glad you did. :D
I am the very proud Gomer all the way to the left with my cell phone clipped to my pocket!!

I remember seeing your photos. :P I try to really look at the photos my fellow Gomers post. Those are great photos! :D Now the ones I have from the SA show.... I had someone take for me. hehee... and the ones I took for the M&G weren't very good though. I was a bit nervous so most of the pictures came out blurry. :(

Are you going to the Houston concert? It's on a Friday night. I think everyone should let their hair down.

As Mac sings,

It's alright
It's okay
I won't worry about tomorrow
For it brings me one more day
Closer than I was to you

Thanks, Tai. Could you give us an idea of what the lengths will be for each band's set?

That's a Saturday show. So you can still let your hair down. Unless you have to be at church at 6 a.m.

Right, but I'm looking for the length in hours and minutes, and for not only 3D but all the bands.
