Discuss the Milwaukee concert (Eagles Ballroom) here.

I'll be there and surprisingly my parents are going as well! They actually love Ev, not quite as I do though. So who else is going? Monica, you better be there as well.

im SOOO THERE haha
and i am getting there hours early so i can ensure i will be in the front. w00t! i dont care what anyone is thinking...if they are pissed cuz im pushing ...whatever ill never see them again. so all you feelow evboarders do the same! push your way tot he front if you hahve to!!
is there a special 'code' to recognize other evboarders??

I'll definitely be there. It will be really nice to see Ev again. :mrgreen: It has been 3 years since I've seen them, so I'm excited. When I saw they were coming here I was like :eek: :eek: :eek: :mrgreen:!

I'M GOING!!! AHH I'm so excited, I have been waiting to see them in concert for 2 years...this is going to be awesome!!

*fangasms* Two hours away, yeah! I'm definitely there. Whether I have money or not - I'll find a way.

Even though there is a chicago show, I might go to this one instead. The 14th is a Saturday, unlike the chciago show, which will be on a tuesday...
I'm going to an Ev concert no matter what..
xp

I was happy to see this date is a Saturday. I have class during the week until 7 usually, so I'd have probably had to cut class or something, which isn't good. :cool:

All I have to do now is request off of work, but that's the easy part. :D

yeah, i'll definately be there! i can't wait...i think this will make my 5th ev concert! wOOt...Roxanne...we better find eachother! are you gonna be in the balcony again?

okay i was gonna pre order tickets this morning, but the milwaukee date is not on ticketmaster.com anymore...and it was last night. anybody know whats going on?

EDIT
their show was just added to the rave website....so yeah it should all be gravy. im just gonna go to the mall to ticketmaster inside fye on the 19th and just get my tickets there. it will be somuch easier.

I did see they added the show to therave.com today.

I wonder when some of the stations here will start pushing it. I don't listen to the radio much, but I've been keeping an ear on 102.1 because they were really the station who launched Ev here before.

Just a heads up for any fans going to The Rave for the first time, security there is tight. They have and will use wands, so I'd advise not trying to sneak much of anything in. One time they took my pen, for reasons still unbeknownst to me :rolleyes:.

yeah i saw that at their site today as well. ticketmaster,com is just bein a de de dee.

and yes, security at the rave is very tight. bring disposable cameras because they will make you leave your camera there if they find it. and if its digital it costs a lot more than a disposable.
i rememer i had a camera there like a year and a half ago ...and when they saw it they acted as if it was a gun. haha it made me chuckle

yeah, i'll definately be there! i can't wait...i think this will make my 5th ev concert! wOOt...Roxanne...we better find eachother! are you gonna be in the balcony again?

I'll be there and yeah I'll be in the balcony. I've actually got 5 people going this time, so should be a good time. And finally! got my mom to come too instead of just my dad. We'll definitely have to find each other. I think I'm also going to the Chicago show too, but i'll let you know for sure on that one. Any news on who opening bands will be yet? I see The Rave doesn't have anything listed on their site yet.

How is the view in the balcony, pretty good? I almost bought balcony seats last time Ev was in the Eagles.

I wonder how they deal with people who have camera phones, even if they don't plan to use them. If I buy a camera phone between now and then and carry it to call someone before/after the show, I don't want them jackin' my stuff.

dude, dnt worry about it. you should be fine. they can't take your cell phone. they can make you leave you digital camera because its sole purpose is to take pictures which they dont allow. i would throw a fit if they tried taking my cell phone

So would I, but with the way security is there, I wouldn't be surprised. I've seen them go through people's key rings, one key at a time, LOL.

I'm not terribly worried about it, but it is just food for thought.

Balcony seats are decent enough. I mean, at least you don't have to worry about people trampling all over you. I bring my camera phone with me everytime and I've never had a problem yet. I think they're more anal about literal cameras than camera phones.

Hmmm.... I can't help but wonder whether I'm gojng to this one or the one in chicago. Hopefully I'll end up seeing both. Haha.

Very true. My theory has always been for shows like this, if you're not in the very front you may as well be all the way in the back where people can't push you around. That said, I'll probably try to get in the front. Hopefully this time I won't be way over by the speaker, LOL.

Ticketmaster has a profile up for it now: link (http://www.ticketmaster.com/event/07003D0FD361ED96?artistid=857529&majorcatid=10001&minorcatid=60). The internet presale starts tomorrow. Hopefully someone can find out the password for it.

Did they take away the presale for this that was supposed to start today? I don't think I missed it?:confused:

They kept pushing it back. It was this morning, then went to this afternoon, and now I see it's not until Friday! Here's a tip: Either call the Rave or stop in cause they're still taking the orders. But what I'm confused with (not that it matters because i already have my tickets), but what is the right presale password? The one Tracie stated, or the one I sent to you.

I'm so excited.. :mrgreen: This is going to be my first EV concert...BTW who's the opening act...

That's what I've been wondering!

I was able to get my ticket through the Rave presale today. :D

Im getting mine tomorrow.. but i'm afraid it's going to be sold out because of the ticket sales on ebay....

I'm sure they are probably holding back some for when they go on sale to the general public tomorrow. Just make sure to get them when it starts up to be safe. :)

I'm SO gonna be there. It'll be my second Ev concert. My dad's getting a bunch of tickets right now, as we speak, and I'm going to go with a bunch of friends (even though I'm not sure which friends I'm bringing, lol). Oh, and my parents will be there too, unless I can get my friend to drive me. Which isn't very likely, but w/e. They've promised to stay to the back and I can push my way. I'm a bit small though, so I'm not sure I won't get trampled on the floor. If you hear of a teenage girl being trampled to death at the concert, that's me. ;)

Anyone wanna be my bodyguard? :D

I'm so excited.. :mrgreen: This is going to be my first EV concert...BTW who's the opening act...

I'm under the impression that there isn't one.

I got my tickets today...I got them early just in case...I'm going with my brother even tho' he's not a fan...

i got my tickets on saturday.. ah! this show is before the chi town show...i'm so excited...ijust...ah.

Is the Aragon Ballroom setup like the Eagles Ballroom with a balcony around the edge of the room? Ticketmaster is only selling GA seats, which is the same thing they did for Eagles ballroom, which doesn't say much.

hmmm....(trying to picture in my mind) the rave has a balcony, but the main level is just floor for general admission, no assigned seats

Is the eagles ballroom general admission? Cuz I'm trying to go to thast show but my parents (which are my only ride) most likely will not go if it's general admission:(.

~Sarah
Yeah it's general Admission.. Sorry.. I wouldn't think the crowd will be to rowdy or anything....

The Eagles is GA, and the crowd can be pretty rough.

... but, there is balcony seating in the Eagles. You'd have to call the box office though to find out if they are selling it through there because I don't see it listed on TM.

Yeah, balcony seats are generally sold through Rave on the phone or in person. It's a rarity to actually see it on TM. I've got my balcony seats, and I believe they were only selling 96 VIP, so you may want to hurry.

I'm guessing that the VIP seats are more than the general admission seats and if I'm right, how much more, lmao?

~Sarah

~Sarah

They usually add about $10 more. I know GA is 26 without any facility charges. My tickets came out to be $40 with ALL the extra charges.

Only $40? That's not so bad. Maybe I can get my parents to take me^_^.

~Sarah

I received my ticket in the mail yesterday :D.

I see a lot of the shows are selling out. I wonder when/if this one will. Milwaukee always seemed to have a strong Ev following.

I hope it doesn't sell out too soon...my parents still have to decide if they're gonna take me!

~Sarah

Anyone from UW-Milwaukee going to the concert?

I go to UWM, I'm a grad student though, so I don't know if I count :cool: lol.

I WAS a grad student at UWM, but I quit last semester to pursue a different Masters.

Hey! I'm new here, and this is my first post! I got tickets to the concert in Milwaukee, and I can't wait! I have never been to a concert at the Rave before. I'm from the Minneapolis area, but I go to school out here. I'm so excited for this concert! I've been to two evanescence concerts, both at the target center in minneapolis, and they were both the best experiences of my life. See you all there! :D

from past experience of other shows at the rave...it takes a lot for it to sell out. i'm sure this show will be in the eagles ballroom...which is huge. and they are not headlining with any other bands...at least not since last time i checked, so i doubt it will fill up too quick. i hope i'm wrong...but yeah

a litte more than a month til the show...SWEET ASS!
all i know...is they better play lithium...i will be VERY upset if they dont. its my fav off TOD

This is bogus! UGH! I can't go because my cousin's b-day/b-day party is one that day, no fair:(...and if it wasn't I would've gotten to go most likely:(:(:(.

~Sarah

damn dude, that sucks

they'll come back around

Yeah I know...but it still makes me mad cuz I'll have to wait till their next tuor to see them :(....well, there's nothing I can do about it

~Sarah

Wow, I'm totally on the ball with this one. Except, you know, not! :x

I dunno if anyone even really remembers me here, but I'm gonna be at the concert with my parents & best friend. I haven't listened to/downloaded the leaked album yet, so I'm just hoping that they play all of the songs off of TOD.

Hehehe I'm going to! My family is also going because they like Evanescence also. Also I'm hoping to bring a friend. :)

Only 30 more days till we see them in CONCERT!! WHOO HOO!

9 more days...i can't fucking wait. i'm pretty sure like 10 of my friends are gonna be there, but who knows. i'm also wondering if i should wear an evboard name tag...what do you guys think?

so i guess i'm the only one still able to post in this thread, haha. anyways...i got an email from the rave last night saying that there were a limited amount of tickets left! i think that's a good sign...if they sell out the ballroom i will be impressed! 3 more days!!!! Roxanne....i WILL see ya there :)

Have fun at the show tonight everyone!

Me to I thought it was impossible to sell out there...

so yes, this show DID sell out...which is amazing. haha. but anyways i'm too exhausted/sick (yes, what a wonderful day to get a head cold) to type my whole experience. but here's what i could manage to write down for a setlist in order...i'm pretty sure this is right...but correct me if i'm wrong
Sweet Sacrifice
Weight of the World
Going Under
The Only One
Haunted
Whisper
Lithium (grand piano)
Good Enough (grand piano)
Call Me When You're Sober (keyboard)
Imaginary (keyboard)
Bring Me To Life (grand piano/keyboard?) i don't remember
Lacrymosa

Encore:
My Immortal
All That I'm Living For

So basically I got to meet up with Roxanne and Tourniquet911 which was awesome, we got to meet the whole band, take pics with most, got lots of autographs and i also have a disposable camera that i used inside the venue...hopefully the pics are good since i was in the 2nd row. but yes, i'm fucking exhausted and sick...so i'm gonna go sleep...i'll be able to post my digital pics by monday hopefully and my disposable as soon as i get it on picture disc. even though i was sick as hell...it was all worth it, haha...oh and i will be posting Roxanne's pics for her as well whenever she is able to send them my way. :)

Imaginary (keyboard)


Wait, what? Imaginary w/a keyboard? How was this? Sounds interesting!

the whole song wasn't with a keyboard...but she did this little piano solo part that was amazing...she never did this on the last tour...so i noticed it right away.

Oh this makes me want to go to the LA show so bad now! Too bad I won't though. That's cool that she did something to change it up a little though!

I was looking at three tall guys heads almost all the way through... Only Lithium did I get to see Amy through the whole thing... She sang beautifully all night...Standing in front of drunk guys is no fun...

here's some pics for now

here's another fan's photobucket pics from this show...i thought i would share, i found it on evclub's board.
http://s115.photobucket.com/albums/n300/x3amyy/

so i'm back again to post the pics the rave finally put up on their website...they're not as cool as they usually are...but oh well
The Rave Gallery (http://www.therave.com/gallery-event.asp?id=2277)
also, another story i have to share is that when i met amy i asked her if she purposely played Tori Amos's "Caught A Lite Sneeze" at the end of their set. I know the band usually picks the background music before the set, but i wasn't sure if they picked the songs after. All I know is that when i heard the song while i was waiting to try to get a setlist, i was freaking excited! lol...
so i asked her if she picked it, and she was like..."no, why? is that what happened after the show?" and she said "we pick the songs before we play" and i told her "well they played 'caught a lite sneeze'" and she was like "YESSSSSSSSS" all napoleon dynamite style...she was like "that's awesome" so yeah, i just thought that was a funny story to share.
