I haven't followed the Who in some time... are they touring now?

How big of tour would this band put together I'm guessing it would be a good land for us.

A little bigger then I was expecting.. I'm hoping DM and KC don't get added though. Keep our ticket sales up... but we usually don't need any help.

We've heard rumors about them coming since last year.

Dixon also said Aerosmith won't be coming for this tour. They really wanted to but the Qwest Center didn't have any open dates for them. And of really important news, the Qwest Center construction will be done this Friday. There is also going to be a public open house at the Qwest Center on September 10.

Great Get!

Also September 10th sounds like a mini forum meet!

Open house? I'm game.

I'll be moved in by September 10th. My place and then the Qwest Center.

Any other information on the open house? I missed the one when it first opened up. Do you know if they take you into all the no access area. I really wanted to get a look at the nuts and bolts of the place.

DTO Luv · Post by **DTO Luv** » Tue Aug 22, 2006 11:03 am

For a small fee they will show you their nuts. They give tours (weekend tours are harder to come by) and I think it's like $4 a person. I think this particular open house will just be for the arena.

I was wondering how long it would take for somebody to make a joke.

Yeah..It appears that Chirssie Hynde and The Pretenders are touring with The Who starting with the Salt Lake City, UT show on November 13th..

The Who AND the Pretenders? Niiiice. I used to be a big Chrissie Hynde fan. She has to be in her mid 50's by now though.

Easily..

I may have to go to this show..It'll be tough for me to swing the time off..But I think it's doable..

Man, I wish I could afford to go this. A truncated version of the Who, AND the Pretenders!

Ok I hadn't read anything in the paper about this concert selling out or anything so I just searched on Ticketmaster and it gave me main floor seats in row 10. Any ideas why this isn't selling out days later? There are also a ton of them listed on Ebay below cost. This can't be good for the Qwest Center!

Swift · Post by **Swift** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 1:18 pm

I'm guessing it's probably due to lack of advertising or the fact that only 1/2 of the members of the Who are still alive.

DTO Luv · Post by **DTO Luv** » Mon Sep 25, 2006 1:20 pm

I haven't seen any advertising. The remaining half is still the main part of The Who. Roger Daltery and Pete Townsend. People have started calling the "The Two".
