Paul, Consol Energy Center Pittsburgh Aug 18th - ARCHIVE

sunbeam:
If he could go to Oklahoma to open an arena, he can certinly come here,
He didn't open the arena in Tulsa but he did celebrate its first anniversary - and he definitely does like being the first artist to play new arenas, so I would def. keep an eye on this Pittsburgh rumour!
-
WPXI is saying it is Lady Gaga.... http://www.wpxi.com/entertainment/22847738/detail.html
-
BTW I think it is hysterical that the Pens are still playing in the same arena the Beatles played back in 1964. Shows you how old and crappy our arena is. 'bout time we got a new one!
-
The owner of the stadium said that Lady Gaga is the first artist booked to the stadium but that they are looking for and hoping to get a 'prestigious' act to open the stadium. When asked who he jokingly said Elvis. So I'm interpretting that to mean Paul. I'm hoping this is true. But I tried getting tickets for Lady Gaga at MSG for my daughter and me and ran into the same problems as there are with Paul. She kept adding shows so with being on her website we were able to get two crappy seats within seconds of the announcement of the third show. Clearly something needs to be done about this and it has to be the artists who need to fix this. If touring is their main source of income these days then they are biting the hands that feed them.

Come on Paul make this happen!!!!!! I'm ready to rock in pittsburgh!!!!! WOOOOO!
-
Yeah WPXI jumped the gun when the Lady Gaga news was announced last Monday. By Tuesday the Pens owner was already saying she would not be the first act to open the arena. When a news reporter asked Pens owner for a clue on who the "prestigious opening act" would be, I took the Elvis joke as a hint for Paul too. Who knows.. I admit I'm wishfully thinking here!!

It would fly about as well as a penguin.
I don't follow hockey much but I understand that the Coyotes, whose home is the arena where Paul launches his tour, are on a tear. Must be that Macca magic.

They migrate every year around this time, generally expected to do so this year a week tomorrow - Thursday week. Martin -

MartinYes - I can even see Mario Lemieux amongst them

Man I really hope this happens. It seems like this part of his tour is done...but I'm thinking after he plays all the announced dates as of now that he might announce dates for another mimi tour afterwards....at least I hope!
-
I would prefer Philly, but I've been to Pittsburgh before...I could find my way.
-
Really, really, really hoping this happens or anywhere near here. My best friend who is 22 just got diagnosed with cancer that's so rare there has only been 800 cases. I want to take her to see Paul at least once in her life, she's a huge fan.

I hope that happens for you and your friend, Barb.

Bumping to see if anyone has heard anything more about this rumor?
-
It looks like he is done announcing dates at the moment, so I'm thinking if he tours in July and August or whatever, probably wouldn't be announced until this portion of the tour is completed. The tour was said to be "extensive," so I'm thinking more dates at some point will be announced....
-
I haven't heard anything more lately. Things have been quiet this week about the new arena. I've been impatiently checking every day though! It does make sense that he will spread out the spotlight a bit and wait till this run of the tour is over to make any more tour announcements. We'll just have to wait, hope, and see!
