The title says it all, doesn’t it? I have four tickets and one of my pals cancelled out. Email is in the profile, children. ---

Nissan Pavilion is a long way from the shores of the Chesapeake. And it’s a weeknight. I think I’ll have to give it a pass. But thanks. ---

Does the ticket come with airfare from the Windy City? And a new job? ---

Thundering Canadian music. kooo-loo-koo-koo-koo-koo-KOO-KOO “Good day, eh? And welcome to _The Great White North_. I’m Getty Lee, and this is my brother, Neal Peart”— “Wait a minute, you hoser! This was supposed to by my turn in introduce the music.” “Take off. You never do it right, so I get to introduce it.” ---

Oh, how I’d love to, Jonathan. But it’s a bit of a commute. 🙂 The good news: I’m going to see them in Irvine, CA on September 28! ---

RTF, let’s just say I visit the fair and smoggy city of Los Angeles periodically for very pleasant personal reasons. 😃 Irvine’s about an hour away from my _pied-a-terre_ in LA, so why not? Anyways, have fun tonight Rush Dopers, and report back tomorrow, dammit! ---

Man, I thought a St. Louis to Chicago relationship was bad, and that was only for a summer. [Abe Babe runs out to buy stock in KLM] So, is it true that this tour features the fellas from up north playing Anne Murray and Celine Dion tunes? ---

The lady is ALWAYS worth it, boys. My secret fear here is that there’s really not demand for the tix at all. Has the world passed them by at last? The Nissan Pavillion holds what, 25,000 people? I’m gonna be shocked if it’s only half full. ---

Nissan Pavilion is where, exactly? Oh, I’m drooling for the chance. Well, not really. Dave is the drooler in the family. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/mads-one-1-ticket-for-rush-tomorrow-night/117942.md?page=2)
