UncleHenry Posted August 9, 2007 Share Posted August 9, 2007 I'm getting tickets for me and some friends for the concert this Sunday. I went last time he was in town, and it was a GREAT time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoddaH1994 Posted August 9, 2007 Author Share Posted August 9, 2007 I'll probably go to the concert. I've never been to a Timberwolf concert before. When I checked ticketmaster, the $15 tickets were giving you section 2 (front section center) in row FF, which I can assume is row 32... not bad for $15 bucks.

BoddaH1994 Posted August 10, 2007 Author Share Posted August 10, 2007 Does anybody know if the $15 tickets are available for employees also? Yes -- the more expensive tickets are for those who do not have a means of getting into the park. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadow2k3 Posted August 10, 2007 Share Posted August 10, 2007 I was just at the Ohio State fair concert yesterday. He put up a great performance, and it was pretty fun to watch. Needless to say, you're in for a treat. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he had one at the State Fair, it doesn't necessarily mean that he'll have one at KI. Then again, I've been to hundreds of concerts and the only person who just did NOT have an opening act was Bruce Springstien. His concert, in turn, was almost 3 hours long.

I might have to go again for just $15! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the fair, he didn't exactly have an opening act on stage. There was a guy running around the venue messing with people in a civil way, and there was a clown on stilts after he left. The first guy was rather amusing, and definitely got the crowd loosened up. Though I'm pretty sure that there will be an opening act at KI. He had opening acts at KI during the Poodle Hat tour, so there's a good chance that there will be one there this year. -S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TOPGUN1993 Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 I was listing to the radio (not sure what station) and it said the winner of this contest will get to ride a roller coaster at KI with Weird Al....(not sure what the contest is) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welchce Posted August 11, 2007 Share Posted August 11, 2007 That's awesome. I wonder who gets to pick the coaster because he could not be a fan of coasters and choose like Fairly Odd Coaster. I'd want to ride The Beast with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robintodd Posted August 13, 2007 Share Posted August 13, 2007 I saw Weird Al at the Fraze in Kettering. I have seen him live over 15 times through the years. At the Fraze he started Amish Paradise and about 1/3 of the way through the song must have forgotten the words!! He said "You don't want to hear that song anyway" and screamed "Radio, Radio" and covered that song instead. Only time I've ever seen it happen. He is an absolute riot and an outstanding musician in every right. I love his originals the most, but White and Nerdy just doesn't come across well live. Other than that it is a fantastic show and I'm looking forward to it. Todd Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
