Def Leppard in Orlando - My October trip is now perfect!!!!!!!!!!! UPDATED!

[Mrs Night-Train]

I have just checked the Def Leppard site (as I do nearly every day!!!) and see that they are playing in TD Waterhouse Centre on 5 November this year. I just can't believe it!!!! We will be in Florida over that date, and I just have to see them. They are my number one, all time favourite band, (check my sig for their pic!!) and I haven't seen them since October 2003 when they played in Edinburgh. I just can't believe that I will actually be able to see my number one band in my number one destination!!!!!! I was very excited about my holiday, and now this has just made me extra, extra excited. The tickets go on sale 30 Sept, so roll on 30 Sept!!!!!!!

I love them too. They are mine and my DH's favorite. I hope you can obtain tickets and enjoy the show.

We haven't seen them in a while either. We will miss themin Orlando, hopping they will head Atlanta way soon.

Just checked their website and they are playing in Atlanta on Nov 4, in Phillips Arena!!!! The tickets go on sale for that gig on Sept 30 also. Maybe you'll get to see them after all!!!!!

OMG DH is going to be thrilled when i tell him this news. We arrive on the 5th so will be trying for tickets for sure. I've printed directions to the venue already. Lets just hope we get tickets now.

Thanks for the heads up- I would have missed it.

I hope you manage to get some tickets Laura

 

[Night-train]

Rest assured, if she isn't sitting with her hand hovering over the phone, or hunched over the computer keyboard at the exact second those tickets go on sale, she'll have me doing it instead! There's nothing on this Earth that's gonna stop her going to that gig! And it's on the night of my birthday too so I can't really pass up on it either now, can I???!!!!!

This thread brings back memories of our first trip ['88 - our honeymoon]. I read in a freesheet that Great White, Ratt and Kix were playing at the Lakeland? Arena.

I remember asking at the hotel desk how far away this place was and they said about 1 hour drive...I would have done it too, but for the small fact that we didn't have a car that time.

 

[wils]

WOW - you are obviously meant to be there!

Hope everyone who wants tickets get them - I sense a possible DIS mini meet!

 

[natalielongstaff]

great news fingers crossed that you get your tickets

 

[homerdog]

The even better news is that you'll also get to see THE greatest band of all time - Journey!

I saw Def Leppard in Las Vegas in 2002 - absolutely brilliant concert, made all the more special as it was our first concert over in USA. Have a great time (wish I was going!)

 

[flortlebap]

Ahhh Def Leppard... most of the band lived up my road

One of them even dated my friend's mother

 

[cheryl.UK]

Hope you get tickets!

Just a by the way...did you know that they played their first ever 'paying' gig at my school in the main hall. The whole building gets demolished at Xmas taking along with it a little piece of rock history.

 

[Mrs Night-Train]

I wish I went to your school Cheryl!!!!!!

Flortlebap, I wish I was your friend's mother!!!!!!!

 

[Night-train]

Flortlebap, I wish I was your friend's mother!!!!!!!

Thanks for that!

Hi

Just wondered what time exactly are you going to try for tickets. It says on sale 09:30 on the site now so would that be 5 hours behind us say- 14:30 tomorrow. I rearly want to get tickets and don't want to mess this up. I'm more nervous about this than when i rang for CRT

Good luck everyone trying for tickets
