To anyone looking for tickets, well not anyone exactly anyone within midwest, if you want to hook up and pool money for tickets I would totally be willing to! To the last poster, where do you live?

OK so I knew that someone somewhere was going to go all serious and not completely read (or disregard as one person did) what I said. Let me clarify, 1) I love Iowa and always have, I've lived here for 22 years and while I would like to travel I certainly wouldn't mind settling down here once I get done w/all the traveling (well when I can actually afford to travel that is;) 2) I know that Iowa has indeed had some big names come lately, and that there are some good concerts w/cheap tickets. In fact I'm going to one (Lifehouse on March 14th @ Val-Air) over spring break. What I meant was that most of the time if a big act does happen to come to Iowa, a lot of times (not always and in fact it is getting better) they either go to a bigger city which sucks for a girl that doesn't have a car (even though my boyfriend does but he isn't into the same music I am per se) or they come kinda close (like Ankeny) and charge an arm and a leg for tickets because of the rent/overhead charge for the building. At any rate I hope that clarifies what I meant and sorry for the misunderstanding unlike my boyfriend I love Iowa (well it's not Iowa he hates it's the winters am I right?) and all it's seasons.

PS-I have considered saving up for said concert and I do have a fair amount of money in my checking account but I feel like I'm being bad or feel guilty for spending it on concert tickets...even if it will be an awesome kick-ass show!

No fair these tickets cost like 50 bucks at the cheapest which means 2 are 100 dollars, 2 tickets people! Okay enough of my griping but seriously not only is Daughtry opening but it's friggin' Bon Jovi and in my opinon they are just awesome and I kept hoping they would come back to Des Moines. Figures I finally have the opportunity and I can't afford the darned tickets. It sucks because unless they both get a good reception I doubt they'll ever come back to boring ole Iowa.

PS-I love Iowa and I don't think it's boring but why would big acts really want to come to a state full of cornfields, soybeans, and teeny-tiny towns that even some of us natives haven't heard of? Just saying...
