NumbBono wrote:I live here in Las Vegas, but haven't been to a show at the Cosmo yet. From what I understand, it's a decent venue for a show. Don't let the name (Boulevard Pool) fool you, it's not going to be the band playing in front of a bunch of people standing around in a pool, it's a legit venue. The Cosmo, since it opened, has been infamous for booking acts that have been a bit off the Vegas norm, especially on the Strip.
On another note, let me just say that I am so jacked about this show, it's driving me nuts. I grew up in the U.S. Midwest in the 80's. I liked a lot of music that simply wasn't played on the radio too often in those parts, and New Order wasn't exactly itching to play in Iowa while I was younger.
So to be here in Vegas (for probably 2-4 years only), and have this show fall into my lap...well...I'll put it this way. We have a trip to Hawaii planned for late March, and I'm more excited about seeing New Order on April 11th.
This concert is a "bucket list" thing for me. I know, Hooky isn't there anymore, but you know what, the show will go on, and I, for one, can't wait. I waited 30 years before seeing them for the first time last fall in Toronto. Now, I have my flights, concert tickets, and a weekend at the Cosmopolitan booked to see them again. Adding in the Vampire Weekend concert on Friday. If anyone can suggest after-show parties, clubs, where we can keep the vibe going (okay, a bunch of 40-50-somethings reliving the '80s,,,) that would be a great idea.

Everyone get sorted?
Leggy, Sandra, Hacienda Must Be Rebuilt, me & Fac 51 all got GA tickets. Can't believe that went so smoothely, after the LA & Oakland debacles, it was painless.
Who else is coming to this?

Vegas is selling well but there are still tickets available.
The Cosmopolitan is putting on a load of bands in April, who are all out there doing Coachella, New Order are the best seller so far.

Hey Johnny,
We are still trying to score tics for SB. Can't believe I missed the pre-sale. Now it's just Section G.

I predict this forum will be down for the duration of U.S. gigs again like last time and no one would be able to meet each other, due to the total collapse of NOOL communication

Who else is coming to this? Me, but now i have to look for a ride back to L.A. right after the gig, there is no public transportation from to SB to L.A. late at nights. So, if i won't get transportation i won't make it. Do you guys return to L.A. on friday 19th?? i guess you do.

I hope they'll play Confusion, and In A Lonely Place as an encore. Confusion is great live, Barney always seemed to have fun with it, not sure how he feels towards it now...

Who else is coming to this? General Admission for me as well. Ticketmaster online receipt: "FIRST LEVEL FLOOR HOUSE LEFT" Does this mean the general admission areas are segregated from each other? I've not been to the Santa Barbara County Bowl since seeing New Order there in 1989.

Andy - that's exactly the same as on our receipt. Fac51 & I were having the same 'what does this mean?' conversation. The GA area seemed to be split into 3 blocks on the Ticketmaster site so maybe as you say, it's the left hand one?. Who knows?

Last night at Johnny Marr's warm up gig for his UK tour, he played 2 Electronic tracks, Forbidden City & during the encore Getting Away With It. So would be worth getting into the venue early if you want to hear them.

I can't believe GA in still available for Santa Barbara and Vegas. Do we think these shows will even sell out? I thought after the Greek Theater here last year it was a no brainer these would sell out quick. Any thoughts?

There's only so many concert-goers (and their money) to go around.
