Oldiesmann Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Robby, you'll be happy with this news Riverbend has just announced that The Beach Boys are coming on June 12th. Tickets go on sale March 30th (a week from tomorrow) and are $25 for lawn and $55 and $95 for pavilion. Also note that there's a $10 discount on lawn seats if you buy them the day they go on sale. I'm hoping to get a ticket for this, as I've never seen them in concert (though I know my dad saw them at least once when they used to play Riverfront Stadium every year).

Browntggrr Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I hope they will perform better than the Grammys. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordon Bombay Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 I just hope the lead singer still insists on wearing a mesh baseball cap. Nothing will ever top their performance with the family from Full House. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabe Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 they are not a good 'live' band in any of their incarnations..i've seen them several times and I wouldn't even spend the $15 on a lawn tix they're hyping for the first day of sales..stay home and listen to "Pet Sounds" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CoastersRZ Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I will be going to this concert. I saw them once in concert in the mid-90s at Riverfront Stadium. I was really bummed when their tour did not include a stop at Riverbend. I`m excited to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avatar Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Good for you CoastersRZ in going. My family saw them a few years ago and we really enjoyed ourselves. I mean it was not the most exciting or best concert we have attended but the atmosphere was laid back and fun. I think if one goes with family or friends and just goes to enjoy the experience then they will have fun but if they go to be a critic they will be disappointed. When we saw them one of the band members had their niece there and introduced her, asked the audience if they would mind if she sang one of the songs as her first concert performance. Of course everyone encouraged it and gave her a standing ovation when she was done. It was just a fun show and I am glad we took the time to go. Enjoy yourself. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Interpreter Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Wise words. The same could be said of one about to visit a park. Go to enjoy, you will. Go to be a critic and ruin one's own day, and perhaps that of many others. Wise words, indeed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcgoble3 Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Go to enjoy, you will. Yes, Yoda. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Titan Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 I'm still deciding whether I'd like to see Boston and Kansas or the Beach Boys. Hmmmm, this may take a while..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oldiesmann Posted March 30, 2012 Author Share Posted March 30, 2012 Just got my ticket It's times like this that remind me why I don't go to more concerts like these... Ticket price: $51.50 Facility charge: $3.50 Convenience charge: $11.50 Order processing fee: $5.50 So, a ticket with a face value of $51.50 ended up costing me $72. A bit more than I wanted to pay, but it was either that or lawn seats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beastfan11 Posted March 30, 2012 Share Posted March 30, 2012 I'm still deciding whether I'd like to see Boston and Kansas or the Beach Boys. Hmmmm, this may take a while..... Boston isn't even Boston. And neither is Kansas. Nothing close to the original lineup. Granted The Beach Boys have lost two, but they have a pretty good representation of the original band. AND you'd get to see Brian Wilson. Who doesn't want that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oldiesmann Posted March 31, 2012 Author Share Posted March 31, 2012 The ads I heard for this show on WGRR yesterday were saying that this is the first time all of these musicians have been on stage together in more than 20 years. Not sure if that's actually true or if it's just creative marketing, but I'm not missing out on this opportunity. I never got a chance to see them when they used to play Riverfront every year.
