So there is about a week delay in writing this post as I wanted it to be a good post with some good content as this was an amazing show! Kings of Leon is one of my favorite bands and I was so excited to find out that they would be playing in Madison Square Garden while I was in New York. I have not been able to see them in years. They skipped Utah in their last 2 tours. So I was pretty exicted to be able to go. Then I found out they sold out the Garden! SOLD OUT the Garden! That is crazy! Last time I saw them they did not sell out "Bricks" which only holds maybe 1000 people. I figured I would still be able to get tickets of Craigslist or eBay. Then I started looking for tickets.. and well they were expensive. I watched a pair of GA tickets go for over 1000 bucks!
So the day of the show comes and Ticketmaster released a small number of tickets and I was able to get a seat right by the stage for only $44 plus fees (so that made the ticket almost $60). My seat was behind the stage which seemed ok on paper. Then it sucked at the show, until they started playing then it was awesome! They turned around quite a bit to recognize the entire stadium. The below picture shows my seat, without zooming or anything. So it was not that bad of a seat.
I still cannot believe how many people were at this show!
The really crazy part was that everyone there really wanted to be there as well. SO there was a lot of singing along etc. Here are some videos I took with my camera that show some of the awesome crowd and atmosphere.
They also had some really cool merch... such as this Limited Edition Poster (500 made) And this tee shirt made for this show! Not this tour, but this very show.
I also grabbed this shirt as it was pretty cool too
Needless to say this was an amazing show and I cannot wait to see them again! |
