My Reviews & Blog
I did not get an email with the password. RCAKaren was great about emailing me back quickly --thank you-- but the fair website has been down since yesterday. I just called the box office and they are not selling over the phone until tomorrow. They hope to get the website fixed but who knows. So, some of us are still waiting. . .
Trouble
I'm having the same problem getting tickets. The message says something about it "timing out". I'm thinking they must be having trouble with their website. Guess I'll just keep trying tonight and call the box office tomorrow if I can't make it work online.
What an amazing show in Pittsburgh!! I've seen several Daughtry performances -- York Fair, 9/07; Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD, 11/07; and in Washington DC, 2/08 w/Bon Jovi. This was, by far, the BEST, BEST, BEST performance I've seen from the guys yet. They had so much energy and enthusiasm -- from the first minute they hit the stage until the very end of their set. Of course, the crowd was awesome so I'm sure that helped. They truly blew the lid off the arena -- absolutely amazing. These guys are so incredible live. I wish they would record one of their live performances and sell it. What do you think Daughtry fans? Wouldn't that be awesome?
This was a girls-only weekend for a friend and me, and we had SO MUCH FUN! Our seats were on the right side of the floor about halfway back. It was amazing! I hope someday I can get close enough, though, to snag a guitar pick from one of the guys. LOL
What About Now is one of my favorite songs from the CD so I especially enjoyed hearing that one. The new song is fabulous, and There and Back Again was amazing. As others have said, I also missed hearing Crashed. And, of course, I was SOOO disappointed that Chris didn't do Blaze with Jon. I figured, though, that he was anxious to get on his way to Greensboro and get Home. Can't blame him for that.
The Bon Jovi show was also incredible. It was cool to hear that one song (I think Jon said it was called Fourth of July) -- he said they've only played it like twice in 10 years so that was a rare treat. When Jon came out into the crowd to do Make A Memory and a few other songs we were only about 10 rows away. I was doing some major swooning! Now every time I listen to Make a Memory, I just get an image of him standing there, not so far away, performing that song. Ahhhh. He definitely "made a memory" for me!
What an incredible night! The most fun I've had in a long time!

It sounds like you had the night of your life! Congratulations! Your drawing of Chris is really amazing. After reading your review, all I can say is WOW!
Parade!
Thanks for that info Lisa G. I had no idea about the parade. We won't get into town until about 3:00, though, so maybe things will be a bit more cleared out by then. I hope, I hope! I'm not much of a city driver anyway, but at least now I can get my head around the possibility of more traffic than expected.
Can't wait for tomorrow night!!
Three more days. . .
My countdown has begun. I am so excited for this show. I just saw them in DC, and the whole show was so amazing! My friend and I are roadtripping to Pittsburgh for a girls only weekend birthday celebration for me. Woohoo!! After this show, though, I have to get a grip or my hubby's going to think I've gone insane. LOL
I really hope they do Blaze of Glory for us. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE!! They didn't do it in DC and I was so disappointed. I love Daughtry's new song and can't wait to hear it again.
Can't wait for the show. Can't wait to see Daughtry. Can't wait to see Bon Jovi. Can't wait, can't wait, can't wait!!
tickets
Daughtry Fever --
I just checked and Ticketmaster is still selling tickets, $100, looks to be fairly low level, side view of stage. I hope you get to go!
hotels
Thanks Lisa G. and Sandy0204 for the hotel info. I'm going to the show with a friend whose hubby works for Marriott so I was actually looking at that Marriott near the arena. It's always hard to tell from a map, though, whether you can truly walk there and feel safe doing so. Sounds like it would be ok, though. That hotel is kind of expensive, though, so maybe I'll look around Monroeville too. Thanks again ladies!
hotel for next Sat. night?
Can anyone recommend a hotel in the area? I'm not from Pittsburgh and just wondering about a nice place to stay.
By the way, there are still FLOOR SEATS available for this show from Ticketmaster!!! Let's fill the arena Daughtry fans!

I feel your pain. I'm in the same boat and I'm going crazy! I was also at the Pittsburgh show last Sat. night. Absolutely fabulous. Can't wait to see them in September. If I ever get tickets, that is. . .
