First show of August leg, maybe we'll get some surprises in the setlist

$135.58 USD!!!!!
wtf?
i think these are the most expensive tickets for a nin show EVER.

Now let's you just drop them pants
Drop?
Just take 'em right off

Come on! Squeal! Squeal! EEEEEEEEE!
Weeeeee-haaaaaaa!

Very randomly, I'm going to be in Moscow that day so I got some tickets also. Hopefully the break in June/July will be retooling for a Year Zero tour starting that day! I wasn't sure what to make of the ticket prices.. I assume standing is a general admission area, but I got the (super-)expensive tickets in case they are something really awesome. They better be for the huge jump in price. They better not be something lame like nice box seats off to the side instead of being in the crowd in front of the stage. I will be pretty pissed off if that's the case. The only seating chart I can find is for a Depeche Mode show, and it's unclear what's going on. Do a search for "Luzhniki Depeche" in google images.

Actually, after thinking for a second, I bet they're keeping the floor open and dividing the front and back into "Fan Area" and "Standing" respectively.

i have bought a ticket at the price of 135. finally i've decided that it's not too much, but i stiil don't have much confidence in it.
i've bought a ticket in general admission (fan area). why do they have just Reserved Seating in the 'more info' page? it's strange. i hope the mistake is on the 'more info' page.
when i was filling the billing address form i chose Russian Federation as the country, of course. and in the receipt RUS was written. but in the 'print friendly' version US was written!! wtf? have i done anything wrong? now i want to know if the billing address really matters. (i've chosen will-call)

i've posted it on the spiral, and i'm not the only one with such problem. but we haven't found the explanation yet

And All That Could Have Been is long overdue for a live performance.

Has anyone been to a concert at Luzhniki before? Will I be allowed to bring in my small digital camera (point and shoot type)? Or a small shoulder bag? I'll be walking around on vacation that week and I don't know if I should plan on heading back to where I'm staying to drop off my stuff before the show..

Officially you are not allowed, that's what ticket says. But I have not been there, so I can't be sure.

I can't find much info about the opening band, Intacto, so I'm not sure if they've released any albums. But if any Intacto albums are on sale at the merch booth or whatever, would anyone be willing to buy them and send them to me? I'd be happy to Paypal you the money, plus a little extra to make it worth your while.

The concert happens to be on my birthday, if that's any extra incentive to do me that favor... Too bad I'm stuck in NYC.

they should play 10 miles high...^.^

I'm in Moscow and ready for the show. I'm not sure exactly where the show i see the Luzhniki sports complex in southwest Moscow.. if I get off the Metro there is it going to be obvious where to go? I wonder if I should try to get my tickets tomorrow ahead of time?

This is going to be awesome. I hope this is a new revamped YZ-themed show..

I don't think Trent would enjoy playing that, that and The New Flesh are extremely drug influenced, although I do agree with you, they should play 10 Miles High....and The New Flesh..
