Definitely don't bring a camera in if you want to watch the entire show. I hope to buy my merchandise in Toronto. Yes, we were nervous wrecks going to London with no tickets.

I bought my pink glow sticks today! I'm ready to rock starting October 10.
-
I need to find some!!! Does anyplace in particular sell them???

I got the pink glow sticks in the Halloween Department at Wal Mart for 88 cents each. Can't beat that price.

Thanks for the scoop on that maccascruff! I don't have mine yet and was trying to figure out where to go. BTW, I e-mailed Polly at KIOA about a remote and haven't heard anything from her. They are giving away pairs of Paul tickets this week and next so maybe they are just busy. I'm trying to win a second pair - see who's are better

I guess I have another question regarding the glow sticks - are people cracking them open during a particular song or just for the whole show - has anyone heard?? I thought perhaps if Paul was singing something (My Love?) that particularly reminded everyone of Linda that would be an appropriate time?? I've been trying not to sneak a peek at the setlist, though, so I don't even know what he's singing!

Seuss, I am not looking at the set list, so I don't know when people are pulling them out. I will let you know when I return from Toronto.

That would be great! I just wanted to know WHEN!! Have a great time in Toronto - how can you not??

How can I not is right! I finally get to hear Mull of Kintyre live and in person.
I used my green glow sticks the entire concert at all the concerts in 2002. I have two left over. I will be home a week and then head for Iowa, as I will be visiting my parents for 10 days.

I won't tell you the setlist,but this I know: Paul looks SO much better this time around what with the longer locks... His voice on the downloads I've heard haven't been very good at all.. The playlist is very good... I'll be MORE than ready in about 3 weeks for the show... Have a great time in Toronto maccascruffs...I'll be home here eating a

I've got a CD sitting right here that I won't listen to until I get home.
I keep hearing the shows are great.

OK, I'm a little late into the game, but were the original tickets for Des Moines sold on Ticketmaster, or someplace else?
-
They were sold through the venue's site and it was a disaster.
-
I'm driving in from Denver for the show. Any ideas on where I can snag a great "close'in" single ticket (without going thru a broker)?
-
Wished I woulda known,I had a 17th row single seat avaliable for a long time,but it's gone now.Do you need a place to stay?We'd be happy to put you up for a few days...check iowaeventscenter.com for a tic,that's where they were sold here.There are about 20 on ebay for sale also,some singles last I checked...LMK if I can help further...
-
Darn, sorry I missed your ticket earlier. Thank you so much for your gracious offer, but I'm staying at an hotel in West Des Moines.
-
I just booked for 2 nights at the Renaissance Savery Hotel. I hope to see many of you there. I'm trying to book airfare, but it costs an ARM and a LEG from L.A. to Des Moines. I've noticed that airfare from L.A. to Omaha is about half the price, so here's my question. How long does it take to drive from Omaha to Des Moines and which freeway connects the two cities?? I think I'll book my flight into Omaha, if the drive from Omaha to Des Moines isn't too lengthy. Any help any of you can provide will be greatly appreciated.

-
That's very sweet of you to offer, but we're already booked at the Savery. I'm hoping to meet up with all the other boardies coming to the show. I'm curious to know if there's definitely a meet-up, either before or after the show. Also, do you know if the Wells Fargo Arena is within walking distance of the Savery?? I've never been to Des Moines before, so I have no clue where anything is. I'm relying on the kindness of strangers. . . or fellow boardies.
-
Yes,it is walking distance,and since we have a few of you staying there,I think we should meet there,as nothing is planned yet...
